SC State GDT

Phillips has some talent around the basket. Nice footwork.

Just flipped on the game. How has Boateng looked?

[Lightning Rod]

First 6 minutes have been ugly.

Has looked good in the first half, a bit off to start the second.

[Lightning Rod]

Both our point guards with 4 fouls, 13 minutes left. It won't hurt us tonight but not good.

[Lightning Rod]

Mack is the guy that makes me wonder why he's getting so many minutes.

[edwin drood]

Burns having' fun now.

[Lightning Rod]

Burns having' fun now.

Needs to add some bulk and get stronger but he's going to be good, no doubt. Like what I see.

[Lightning Rod]

Two things taken from.this game, SC State coach gets the shiniest head award and color analyst gets most face tattoos award.

Mack is the guy that makes me wonder why he's getting so many minutes.

Mack is a volume shooter at a low percentage. 3-11 in 29 minutes. And he's mostly a bricklayer from 3. This is where Stone will be missed until he returns. Mack is going to be overexposed.

[Armchair QB]

This is what you expect playing an 0-7 team. We did what we were supposed to do. It was good to see Boateng and Burns out there. Both can be a huge part of our future.

[Rantz]

Boating and Burns looked good. If Burns is raw with the way he played, then if he gets some playing time under his feet, and gain with the speed of the game, he has the potential to be a game changer!

[abnerdoubled]

Burns as expected is getting pushed around under the basket which is limiting his rebounding but that will get better, I see him as a shot blocking dude, pretty nimble for a guy 7'5"

Yeah, the difference in the bigs this year compared with last is striking. Phillips, Porter and Burns are nice additions. And Crews and Boateng can both grab boards and score as well. And we still haven't seen Pierce yet. Let's hope his shooting has improved markedly.

[MizzouMarv]

Boateng looks a lot better than last year. Burns sure is tall (pretty good for first real game in forever). T.O. likes to dribble. Mack is the guy at the Y who thinks he's the only gut on the court that can play. I hope Crews isn't reverting to the mean after his good start from 3 this year. He wasn't going to shoot 60% for the season but I had hoped he had regained the prowess he possessed at UTM. The guy with the head tattoo is Jamaal Tatum (SIU). Don't know if he's related to Jayson. The tattoo was quite unusual, but he did a good job as a commentator, IMO.
I realize it's all about marketing & making $, but the programming around our games is nearly worthless. I cut out the commercials from the 30-minute pre-game show & was left with under 12 minutes. Usually that contains an interview from a player from that week's TigerTalk show which we've probably already heard. The wrap-up show is better with fewer commercials.
