Exhibition 11/02/22

[rooinblue]

Curious to see the new Roos on Wednesday.

I am old and can't keep up with the rule changes in eligibility.

Since this is an exhibition, can the expected redshirts play?

A long time ago, potential redshirts could play exhibitions and not have it affect their redshirt status, but my memory is that under the current rules, potential redshirts can not play exhibitions and if they do, they lose their redshirt status (unless, of course, they can medical redshirt).

Does anyone know the current rule?

You are 100% correct! I googled the subject yesterday and found several articles stating that red shirt players can not play in any exhibitions or games without losing a year or eligibility. I am excited to see the new look Roos tonight!💙💙

Is Barnes dressed and still injured?

[rooinblue]

Barnes has not played and I have not seen him on the bench, but maybe I have missed him.

Barnes was on the bench, but not dressed out.

We looked talented with a lot of size, but a little sloppy and seemed to lack cohesion …..particularly in the 2nd half.

Nice interview with Coach after the game. I think we can expect a lot more communication going forward with this coaching staff.

Interesting game to watch with lots of new players. Here are my observations:
Good- Q can score the ball, good size at guard position
Kopp- key returning player with great outside shot
Andrews- star in the making, how he was recruited here as a walk on is shocking, great job by the coaches, long lean athlete
Shemarri- active defensively and several nice assist, played 19 minutes in the first half
Bad
Twins played 26 minutes and had a total of one rebound, must be more active on the boards
27 turnovers, A. Mukeba 6 turnovers, he needs to catch the 10 feet from the basket
Ngandu- had difficulty catching the ball on rebounds and passes, but he was active on defense the first half, big body guy
On to the next game. I hope they take care of the ball better and the rebounding improves before conference season.

Menzies said he has never had a team turn it over like that... No doubt the opponent had some little quick guys which was perfect for us to endure.... Reality is we may not have a proven PG... I think for now, until emmanouil gets some seasoning... Sam Martin panics the least... although he did toss it away a couple times... second half was lethargic. Gotta put people away.

[bigroobluefan]

I agree in late game situations that Sam needs to play because he can handle the ball and make free throws. I never count on freshman to make a major impact, but I was impressed with Andrews. I still think that a healthy Barnes will help guard depth. Q looks like a scorer but not a point guard. On to Monday night against D2 Lincoln. I am hoping that the students and fans show up and are loud!

I would think you would need to figure out the red shirt situation sooner than later.....but we will never know who that is... they just don't make it public... you can't have 18 guys at practice... nobody gets work.... half the team stands around while the others run a drill.... hurts conditioning.
