***OFFICIAL BETHUNE-COOKMAN SEASON OPENING IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Will they cover?

 

[FinnGopher]

She's a wrestling fan!

Garcia had a good match.

 

[FinnGopher]

I'm not sure if it's that or she's just a painfully shy introvert who is very self-conscious about talking in public.

It's like listening to Ally Sheedy (sp) in the Breakfast Club.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

All right. Well, that second half was a bit embarrassing but they hit the 80 point mark - something they couldn't do all last season.

 

[howeda7]

Do you have the volume turned down?

No. Perhaps my brain is editing her voice out.

 

[howeda7]

It feels like the poor girl was being forced to do this against her will. Free her!

 

[Chico Gopher]

Best line of the night!!

Mostly overweight white guys. I'd say 2XL.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Anyone else think think the guy announcer sounds suspiciously like Tony Leibert???

Ha!

 

[Drake University Gopher]

Will they cover?

I was wondering if Ben owes money to the bookies or something. Either that or he hates his bench players. Dude absolutely refuses to put in the end of the bench up 20 with a minute to play. Thank goodness we didn’t have a late injury or something.

 

[60's Guy]

Well, that's one reason why I don't sports bet...if the home team shoots 35 free throws, they should cover if the underdog only shoots 14.

 

[Drake University Gopher]

It feels like the poor girl was being forced to do this against her will. Free her!

Yeah they can’t in good conscience let her announce another “match”

 

[upnorthkid]

Well they covered I guess?

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Man, turnover city tonight.

 

[60's Guy]

No announcers and graphics instead would be so much preferred.

 

[howeda7]

Well they covered I guess?

I guess. With 5 minutes left in the 1st half, I expected to challenge for 100 and win by 35 +.

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Yeah they can’t in good conscience let her announce another “match”

She's still better than Joe Buck

 

[howeda7]

Any word on why JOJ didn't play the 2nd half?

 

[howeda7]

Yeah they can’t in good conscience let her announce another “match”

If NBC execs were listening they may steal her away for the Peacock broadcast Friday night...

 

[stocker08]

It feels like the poor girl was being forced to do this against her will. Free her!

This is the result of a toxic relationship.

 

[60's Guy]

There were some bright spots but Ben was worried. Ola Joseph and Payne didn't play...what? the last 15 minutes?
Fox and Ihnen are the wild cards. Ihnen is our go to shut down defender.

 

[Goldy-Wan Kenobi]

Played with some pace tonight that we’ve not seen in a minute. Pretty sloppy overall, have to assume players are still getting used to one another. Free throws looked better!

Some sick dunks out there; where the eff did that finish from Carrington come from?!

Yea, not the blowout some hoped for, but seemingly some positives.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Out scored and out rebounded in the 2nd half, but hit 16-18 free throws in the final 20 minutes.
9 turnovers the first half, 8 in the second half. Seemed like more in the 2nd half.
Hawkins with only 1 assist for the game.
Garcia was really good.

 

[Gold Vision]

I’m glad to hear that color announcer was the highlight of the game for everyone else! It was so comically bad.

If the Gophers play and shoot like they did during minutes 5-20, they will steal a few games this year. If they play like the second half, it’s going to be a brutal year.

I couldn’t believe some of the stupid turnovers and the celebrating of blocked shots while the other team chased down the ball. So many lazy and stupid mistakes in that second half.

 

[Drake University Gopher]

Some sick dunks out there; where the eff did that finish from Carrington come from?!

No kidding! I asked the same thing. That was a man’s finish. Add that to the highlight film. He’s still young and I’m excited to see what he can do

 

[Rex]

Few highlights

 

[leib0039]

Few highlights

Thanks for posting. I kept waiting for him to say "and boom goes the dynamite"

 

[Ewert86PC]

No. Perhaps my brain is editing her voice out.

It's nice to know your faculties are still working to protect you.

 

[Unregistered User]

SDSU transfer Noah Freidel and James Madison tied up in east lansing with .14 left

OT now

 

[howeda7]

It's nice to know your faculties are still working to protect you.

Fight or Flight.

 

[Ewert86PC]

Fight or Flight.

I'm glad Freeze or Fawn aren't part of the package.
