jared52 4,354 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I'm far from @JwgreDeux when it comes to assessing the opponents, but it looks like UT has 3 legit scoring threats and a couple of other guys who are capable as well. They look to be 8 deep. One of their guards (Jordan Bowden) is shooting an unbelievable 62% from three (26 of 42). Admiral Schofield is shooting 45% (22-48). This is going to be AU's biggest problem since they do not guard the perimeter well and do not identify shooters well. One thing that might help is school being out so less students, but still going to be a very hostile environment. Size wise (my other big concern for AU opponents) , they have Kyle Alexander at 6-11, so I expect Spencer to get a fair amount of minutes when he is in. I'm sure @cole256 would want his relative to be mentioned and he is a threat to get hot as well. Vegas has AU a 5.5 dog and I think that's fair. I'm just not sure what we will see from this team yet against real opponents, but I am not expecting AU to win this one. Hopefully they can keep it close and make it interesting late. Going to find out fast how the team handles adversity and how solid the chemistry really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaytonAU 4,606 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 No word on Wiley or Danjel yet... some people thought if they weren’t cleared by our first SEC game they wouldn’t play the rest of the season.. which would suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody? Mentioned that the NCAA wouldn’t be back to make decisions till this week. For no valid reason, I’d assume that if they aren’t cleared for arky this weekend that Danjel will leave. Selfishly, I hold out hope that the Wiley family will feel obligation to stick around particularly if they did wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really interested to see how we handle playing some of the bigger teams soon. Ill try to get back on track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
