Sometimes it can be the best thing to happen to a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just need to clean a few things up but they will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year has more to do with injuries and a lot of new faces. Starting PG, backup PG, and starting PF are all out right now. Right now we have our SG running the point with a freshman coming in off the bench. We have had three freshmen seeing significant minutes, and two transfers getting used to the system and new teammates. Even the walk-on guys have been seeing minutes outside of practice... Starting PG should be back by the end of the month. Backup PG might be back by the end of December. PF is done for the year. He will receive a Medical Redshirt, but being he is a senior, a graduate transfer is a real possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxFight Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Bringing this back to the top. Got to watch the Jacks in WRJ against La Tech. Valiant, valiant effort by the Jacks. Basically had 7 scholarship players available due to injuries. Were essentially playing with their SGs, SFs and PFs. Had no true PG available and no true "5" available and but for about a 3 minute stretch in the 2nd half kept them from knocking of La Tech. Even still, they forced it to OT and had a legit chance to win but ultimately fell 96-93. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are good and will win the conference, but injuries have ravaged the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the point where, IF IF IF SFA can get healthy by the conference tournament, they will have some tremendous depth to run at folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm excited about what Oddyst can become as a PG going forward. Mitch and Duece will be so good in the future. Karl will be a special player if he can buy into the program. Hoping we don't see any transfers out of this class because they are the foundation for a bright future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher805 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 SFA currently without 5 scholarship players (Has been for the better part of a month). Only 8 scholarship players available for tonight's game against Baylor. Obviously conference play is the only thing that matters for us this year, but the what-if question will plague this season...

topher805 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 SFA 59 - Baylor 58 Baylor may be down, but that is a HUGE win for SFA. Missing five players and beating a Big 12 team on the road? That's massive. Big one against Alabama around the corner in Nac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxFight Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 What a big time game. I thought they'd have a chance, because the one thing this current lineup is really good at is knocking down shots when needed. And boy did they ever. Pretty much the perfect matchup when it came to Baylor. As soon as Bogues got the ball with the running start I knew he was going to score. Can't let him get going to the basket with momentum. Here is hoping they keep it rolling Friday to set up the huge home game with Alabama after Christmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher805 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Arlington Baptist on Friday. Hopefully Jock can knock down some shots against ABU and start to get his confidence back. Because of the injuries, he has been put into a role he wasnt ready for. Now he seems hesitant to shoot the ball, and we will need more from him during conference play. Comeaux was on the court during shoot around yesterday. Was on the other end working one-on-one, but it is a really good sign. Hopefully we can get him back friday too, so he can start knocking off some rust. By all accounts, the Colesium is going to be rocking against Bama. After beating Baylor, I expect a bump in ticket sales. The university is opening the dorms for students just for the game, and allowing students to bring a friend for free, just to make sure the atmosphere fits the billing.

My daughter (SFA freshman in ‘19, and we are big BAMA fans) bought tickets to that one for me and her for Christmas. We’re really looking forward to it.

Missed that one, and missed most of that SFA/Sam game in 2008. I was working as a student assistant for the media relations department, and Fox Sports had a shortage in the production truck, and I got to fill in running the scoreboard for the broadcast. It was actually kinda cool being in there. I got to come into the gym during halftime and check out the crowd and the atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
