Carlos, please come back……
If we could get
Rice
Graham
Parmer
Monroe
and a fifth to be named, maybe simmons, who's been playing well.
That's a solid lineup.
Anyone have an upate on him?

This is going to be a tough game. there's going to be nobody in the stands so there goes the home factor. WKU is good, better than marist and odu. The best team will face in the conference. I don't know how N. Texas beat them.

Dont be so quick to assume no one will show up…sure, football is on, but we have some momentum going into this game…i for one will be there…
A significant point to add:
We did not shoot all that well last night…we should have won the game by 10+ points…we are facing a primarily guard oriented team in WKU…i saw them play UT and they run mostly perimeter stuff…if we just play our brand of defense - like last night - and SHOOT WELL, we have a chance - you heard it here frist…

1. What's up with Kone? He's our biggest player listed at 6-9 and 250, plus he's a junior transfer. Is he more of a role player that you can't see getting major minutes? With such a small team, I think he might be able to contribute more.
2. Who's playing the point? Holly had 8 assists tonight. I thought Crews was the point guard but he's listed as a forward in all the box scores.
3. How do the young guys look….Cuka, Holley, Hughley…anyone standing out?
4. Any new news on Perkins?
5. Any new news on Monroe?

I also thought the attendance was pretty good. The box score listed it at 662. I would have guessed slightly higher and it may have been since I walked right in with my student ID and nobody even looked at me, so I doubt I was even counted. Oh well. The crowd was pretty good considering there was no band and very few students. That should change for the next home game when classes start.
Anyway, to answer some of your questions…
Kone may be our biggest player, but you wouldn't know it. He's not very physical nor does he have much of an offensive game. He's basically a backup that wouldn't be playing much if Monroe were in there.
Holley is the point guard. Crews is more of an undersized 2/3. He an play the position, but doesn't handle the ball well enough to play there full time.
As for the young guys…Cuka is a serviceable backup guard, nothing special. Holley is very quick and has a good shot. He's going to be a great player for us. Hughley played some tonight and you can tell he hasn't practiced with the team much. You can see the athleticism and he'll only get better, but he looked confused at times tonight and forced some bad shots and passes.

- Kone is soft. A Non-factor.
- Holley is point when in. One game he is very good, and then some games not so much. I think his size hurts him sometimes, but I think he can be fun to watch. He's a keeper.
- Of the young guys, Holley stands out. Hughley needs some more practice but should be good for us at some point.
- Perkins will have his final medical exam on January 2. Hopefully he is cleared. He has been practicing.
My prior commitment was to go to the gator basketball game vs. UAB in Sunrise. Talk about a program you would like to emulate…
We complain when we have to go to 25 miles from campus for a football game…the gators have a basketball game in Broward County and 15,000 screaming gator fans show up. Impressive.
They do have the advantage of having 100 years of alumni. We will get there. It sure is amazing to see that kind of support.
I agree that we are better than anticipated so far. Go Owls!

We had almost 700 last night…pretty darn good if you ask me…
But i agree with owls44: the students need to step up…
But hey, ill take this core group of "community" followers…mostly famililes, etc…they are more loyal…and they dont go home for the breaks!

Obviously, all of us on this board attend games, and like me, probably donates money. I don't expect the students to donate anything but some time. If they want on-campus activities they just need to show they want this athletic program to advance to the next level. That will bring so many on-campus activities to FAU. Go Owls!
