Bethune-Cookman Game Thread
 

Game time T-Minus 15 minutes... Chicago Invitational has arrived. GO UD!!

Should be an interesting day. I 'm in my "cave", have the Jets on with the sound muted and getting for the Flyers!

Anybody knows what happened to the "quick reply" button? I no longer seem to have it and it is annoying as he!! not to have that while watching a game.

Man, bill...we oiught to get together sometime. i'm here in Bucks county, PA doing the same thing! ;-)

Not working on my cstv. Says media not available. Is it working for you guys?

Anybody else having trouble getting the video? I keep getting "The media you selected is unavailable" and I'm freaking out here lol

I'm getting "the game is not available yet" anyone else?

Are you guys getting the video?

I'm in North Jersey...real north. I do plan on attending the LaSalle game.

Woohoo, someone hit the switch! Video is up.

It's working now, what a relief

Never mind - just came on.

still not getting it thru daytonflyers.com or channelsurfing.net

I've got it on channelsurfing

It just came on. MJ for 3!

MJ for 3 to start us off.

Yeah, Daytonflyers.com didn't work for me ... channelsurfing is.

It is nice to know we have a back up.

"D'" looking good! KH with the block

Great 3/4 court pass by London to Marcus for the layup. 5-0.

I'm sure that shot clock violation was due to the fake countdown - just kidding

Really putting the pressure on!

9-2, first media timeout.

This is going to be a blowout. Hopefully the youngins get plenty of valuable minutes.

Ha Ha. Of course it was.

It seems on D this season BG has just completely taken LW off his ADHD meds, he is all over the place. Even more so than last season.

I really hope B-C doesn't get back on D the rest of the game, this is fun to watch

Wow!
Searcy was like the enrgizer bunny on that possesion

How 'bout Searcy? Way to battle for those rebounds and get the two.

We are making 100% of our FT's...just wanted to be able to say that lol

Boy, it looks like a clinic on how to play man "D"

This is the way I've dreamed of this team playing.

19-4, second media timeout.

The intensity of this team is amazing. All 12 guys that play bring it every second they're on the floor.

Incredible intensity on the defensive end. London Warren is fabulous at pressuring the ball, but I think everyone is playing VERY hard on the defensive end.

Glad to see, at least for his first stint to start the game, no one will be able to challenge Little's effort today - that guy is playing hard.

Everyone is. I love it.

Anyone know what's up with Paul Williams? Only scholly player that hasn't played

No idea

He's in now.

London is unreal

I must admit that was an amazing play by London

What's with CL and FT shooting--great form.

LOL at the over and back call

He's a month behind everyone else because of the foot injury. I think BG is bringing him along slowly. Expect him to play more and more as the OOC schedule progresses.

Holy crap...Chris Johnson is amazing. Some people have quick hands...CJ has insanely quick arms. What a steal.

Huelsman has absolutely offensive game.

CL hits two FT's!

Bucky just send that Paul Williams isn't showing much in practice...not something you want to hear

Last 2 fouls ridiculous!

Thanks for the link. It's working fine. I couldn't get the link on the UD Web Site to work. For some reason my Watch is dimmed out.

Pretty impressive first half. Really impressed with searcy's all-around game. nice to see little hitting those free throws... should be a good confidence builder.

Was it a precautionary measure that CW didn't play much at all the final 10 minutes of the half?

I just think it's because of 4 games this week

CL looked good at the foul line. Overall we're over 80% at the line, and 3-5 from 3pt land.
Defense looks great. I'll bet Bethune feels like we have 7 guys on the floor. CJ's pass interception was awesome. LW hustles like crazy.

Funny, it seems LW is the one playing under control and Lowery looks like he's playing in a pick-up game.

Luuuuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkeeeeeeeeeeee

RL is playing out of control today.

Lowery needs to sit for a while--playing the game like LW did last year

Rob L has a lot of raw talent. He has a lot to learn

Lllllll uuuuuuuuu kkkkkkkkkkkkk eeeeeeeeeeeee

Uh...yeah...Luke can shoot the rock...no doubt about that.

Luke is friggin' unconscious

Luke and Mickey...a great combination!

BG is the master of set plays.
It almost always works

Wow. CJ can play this game.

CJ is going to be a very good player.

The play by CJ is why there is instant replay

CJ is everywhere!!!

BG experimenting with zones?

Any CL bashers around?

why we playing zone????????? To save legs?

I think the zone is to conserve energy

Plus...when you're up 28, why not get some practice in at the same time.

Would be nice to get Paul Williams some minutes now ...

Just what I was thinking as well!

Experimenting with a different look, I think. Interesting CW at one of the guard postions. Interesting.

Anybody else notice that coming our of TOs Bucky is now reading the score properly, instead of bassackwards like he used to do?

ST is looking better than ever. I hope he can keep it up.

Why isn't PW getting some PT?
We got the walk ons in!

Great to see us build a lead and then keep building on it rather than letting the other team back in it

Williams is either hurt or in BG's doghouse big time--walk-ons are in and he isn't?

By far our best game so far in the young season. We need to keep playing like this to compete well in the next three games.

This team has more potential than any other in recent memory.

It's a GREAT day....the Flyers win and the Jets are ahead 27-13 with 3:30 left in the game!

make that 34-13 with 2 minutes left!!

a VERY good day!

:beermug::beermug:

Anyone who is a Flyers fan and a Jets fan is a friend of mine!

A great game for the Flyers! I'll be there for Mercer on Tuesday! Going to be a tough one! Go Flyers!

Anybody knows why PW didn't get to play much? I know he's behind because of the injury, but a lopsided game like this would have been a great opportunity to get him some PT and get him to catch up with the other freshmen on the team. He was supposed to be our best recruit.

I've been wondering that also. Is he still not 100% maybe?
Or is he, as others have said, in the doghouse with BG?

Why did the Bethune-Cookman coach try to press us? That was a really poor decision.

- I am really impressed with Mickey Perry's improved defense. He is looking as good as London and Rob Lowery to me on defense. I love our defense. We are pressuring the ball all the way out to half court, and just making the guy with the ball so uncomfortable. They are just focusing on handling the ball, and not able to see the whole court. It's causing them to make some dumb passes.

- Searcy made some very quick offensive moves. He is getting better and better.

- Luke, keep shooting.

- Mickey, keep shooting

- Chris Johnson, keep shooting.

- Marcus Johnson does a great job of protecting his shot by holding the ball until he flies under it to the other side of the rim. He is just awesome in transition.

- Tough shooting day for Huelsman, but he had a good game.

- Our help defense is just intimidating. We shut off so many opportunities with flying bodies.

I was just checking the box score, and we had 11 players that got at least 13 minutes of playing time.

WOW!!
 

Great game. A complete performance by the whole team. Charles hitting free throws! Chris Johnson breaking out. Luke getting back up on the horse. I'm totally impressed

Maybe that's their style of play. Why not work on what you do once conference play begins. Probably figures no way to "win" this tournament why not work on what you want to do?

Bethune's Coach kept calling time outs at the strangest times, I thought.

Foul shooting
 

It seems our foul shooting has much improved from last year. 76% today. Very good.

I really doubt he is 100%. It's not worth playing him up 40 points and risk reaggrevating an injury. Garbage time isn't going to catch him up either.

Chris Johnson: 14 points, and 4 rebounds in only 13 minutes.

anyone else think that the game got REALLLLY boring towards the end?

Maybe BG remembers what happened with CW last year?, and doesn't want to push it.
But someone stated early in this thread, and I missed it, that Bucky said on the radio that PW hadn't looked good in practice.

Not really. I love seeing what every one of our guys can do.

Yes, I think they did. Did you notice how many empty seats today? Seemed to be alot.

Bucky said that PW has a lot of catching up to do after 10 weeks missed in practice. Said that you can't do that as a freshman because reps are so important to those guys. He predicted that PW would be looking good by January.

Crowd
 

I was thinking the opposite...12,600 for a game against a team like B-C was a great turnout. Did some people leave early...of course people always do. The crowd was great the students were into it and you have to look long and hard to find something negative to say about todays game. GO FLYERS!!!

Tom R

Tom,

I agree. The crowd was still cheering for the final basket. My nephew brought a friend today and the flyers have added another fan.

I stand corrected. I had to watch the game on the web today, and the impression I got from the few shots of the crowd that they showed, had alot of empty seats.
