***OFFICIAL BEMIDJI STATE AT MINNESOTA EXHIBITION IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

Disagree. Asuma is solid.
The offense is vanilla, but we knew that. This is a good opportunity to figure out spacing and where people like to get the ball on offense. Also, defensive help is going to be worked on after this game.
I am surprised at Bemidji's height. Or should I be concerned at Minnesota's lack of height? Not sure.
I like Asuma. He’s going to play a lot.
 

Disappointed that we don’t play better defense against a team like this. No Odukale, Patterson or Peterson but cmon- looking for a second half shut down performance
I think these three were the ones I most excited to see outside of Asuma.
 


Last time we played Bemidji 83-59. Now winning by single digits.
 



Still can't make FT's. Perhaps they'll work on it after the Holidays.
 







No injuries this game. That's a good thing.
Hopefully Patterson and Odukale play in the next exhibition.
Beavers and Pipers aren't coming into our house and getting a W!
 











90-65 final

 


Much better second half. How long are Patterson and Odukale supposed to be out?
 

90-65 final

50% from 3 pt range and Garcia was 0-2.
We don't need no stinking free throws!

Ben discussing the game. (Sorry, really bad trying to use X)

I liked what I saw from Asuma. He plays within himself with confidence and looked as if could be on the court during crunch time. He seems to have a BIG type body as a FR and should hold his own on D. I never expected him to score a lot but I think he will take his shots when its there to the point that the other team will not ignore him as a scoring threat. Really looking forward to watching him progress.

Rigsby is another guy who will contribute. Boy he sure has a vertical! Betts has matured physically but is still has a long way to go. Looking forward to see what Patterson and Odukale will bring. FM is a load and will be fine on the boards but he may have trouble defending the BIG's inside.
 

Just went to check my tickets for the game time tonight—oops. Looks like we’ll need to wait a generation or so for the Beavers next visit to the Barn.
