A special Monday night NAIA Basketball Game Thread

Just win. I imagine Rust takes 30 threes tonight.

I have not seen Rust play (obviously) but they have a couple of big bodies 6'9 290, 6'8 275, and a bunch of 6'5-6'7 guys. So its not like we going up against the Lillipution national team or anything.

Tony makes an early appearance

In same conference as Talladega. 7-9 record. Also Edward Waters and Xavier in that league. Think that’s the same Xavier that Dantonn Jackson was the HC of.
Average 7 makes per 22 attempts from 3 per game

Wonder if he's getting Benjamins spot in the rotation tonight?

AK has talked about how he wanted to play TSG and Quan together more, having Tony Toney in the second unit keeps us from playing benjamin and ertel in a no-D backcourt.

Where does one sign up for the Tony Toney fan club?

Doing a good impression of Andrew Toney. Really glad to see it. Still wish AK had played those young guys more in the OOC part of our schedule.

Did Benjamin and Ertel wrong a wandering gypsy tribe? I swear they're cursed from the 3 point line.

Can we just let Toney, Gordon and Rotegaard play the whole 2nd half

I guess not

Kobie Jeffries makes an appearance, up 40 points

Kirkland scores. Rotegaard appears

Absolutely crazy to me that core rotation guys played heavy minutes tonight, but I guess coach had his reasons

Yeah. Right before Rotegaard and Jeffries came in, I was going to say that I do not understand what we’re trying to accomplish here

110-40, every Blazer who has played has scored

Well, I had thought it was the bigger, quicker CUSA defenders that were pressuring Bejamin and Ertel into such low shooting percentages from 3 pts but 1-10 combined so far vs Rust. Our poor shooting from there is pretty much those two guys. Just head scratching how two players that were pretty good outside shooters coming into the season could go so cold for so long.

For somebody that could shoot the ball like AK, it's got to be driving him crazy.

HCAK spoke to that a little in the postgame. He basically said by still shooting poorly against Rust, that it's not the competition causing the low percentages, and it isn't something that will be fixed easily. Basically, what you see, is what you'll get the remainder of the season.

well, at least Ertel has the size and skills to slip inside and get some good 2pt shots whereas Bengie usually gets smothered when he ventures inside.
