  1. One of those CR scheduled games. Hopefully when Tinkle is able to schedule, we’ll see less of these teams. Expect a lot of minutes for the guards. At least they get a game in before DePaul.

    • Yeah, never was a fan of OOC scheduling by CR and BDC. Tons of HBCUs that are barely D1 (Howard, Coppin St, Maryland Eastern Shore, Grambling, MVSU, Texas Southern, Prairie View A&M, Arkansas Pine Bluff), and home and homes with teams literally no one cares about (Chicago State, Quinnipiac, Towson). I understand that you need to schedule some low major nobodies but the selection always killed me. There are plenty of lower level WCC, MWC, WAC, Big West, and Big Sky bodybag games that are closer to us than Hamden, Connecticut.

      Off topic a bit, but I find this thing a bit interesting, it’s like a Craigslist for college basketball scheduling.

  2. We have no business scheduling shit show games like this. I guess that’s what pumped or record up the last few years but Damn. This is bad.

    • Agreed. I’d venture to say some D2 teams could easily beat them. I’ve not seen this poor of a team in awhile. Wow they are baaaaaaad lol

  3. Beavers 41, Grambling 9 @ halftime. Tigers with just 3 FG’s and 17 turnovers in the half. IDK if 3 FG’s and 9 pts is a record for futility at Gill but if not it’s gotta be damn close.

  4. At the game with my mother. Impressed with OSU’s passing. They know how to kick it out for a three. Lots of assists to go around. Good hustle on defense. They get sloppy with passing on fast breaks and in transition sometimes.

    Craig would be beating these guys by single digits at halftime, and that’s only because Grambling is so small as a team.

    • Yep. GP II joins his dad with a triple double. Good company. Good job tonight boys. This one’s been in the bag for awhile

  5. Time to get ready for DePaul (6-3). That game should give us a good indication of how good our team really is. They beat Stanford by 15, but are on a 2 game losing streak so will be wanting a win.

  6. Drove down to Corvallis after a meeting in PDX today so i could find my “BEST AVAILABLE” seats i ordered this year. i don’t know how i ended up in upper section row 19 when i got these the first day the new $199/seat promo was announced – oh well, they will make good Christmas stocking stuffers.

    I did like watching Tinkle coach tonight – he is orchestrating every play and some of the player’s movement right now ( a few of them really need it).

    GPII and MD are very fluid. Was impressed with both of their awareness on the floor.

    Lots of substitutions tonight on all the clock stoppage.

    They ran a full court zone press after a couple of made baskets in second half -created a turn over off one of the presses and then fell back into man coverage on another.

    Freshman got a few minutes play time (i left when they scored 50 pts)

    I feel Tinkle was running this as a live scrimmage and trying a bunch of different combinations and plays. All good!

  7. as GoBeavs82 said, it felt like we were watching a live scrimmage. But that’s the good thing about blowing teams out and good coaching, is that the coach gets to see what he’s working with and give guys game experience. At the end, my guy joked that the game looked like it was being played in the 50s. Slats Gill didn’t allow Black players on his team until 1960, so it could’ve been the case.

    Personally, I spent part of the game calling the refs out for good calls. I really flipped my sh*t when Stangel missed that layin to give GPII the triple double, but thankfully Vic finished it up for him. Robbins really has a decent jumper, as long as he follows through. If he short arms it or doesn’t hold the gooseneck, he misses badly (he airballed tonight). But he splashed a few threes and had a nice game shooting.

  8. I didn’t hear anything about Reid’s injury, hope it’s not serious. Never thought that I would be saying that an OSU basketball team needs him, but when he plays smart, he’s an asset.

  9. This is a look ahead to the Quinnipiac game at 10am on Sunday, I see that there is no TV listed.

    Does anyone know if it will be shown anywhere and, if so, where? Maybe post a link.

    Tks
