Key Player


#3 Kevion Nolan
6' 2" 180 lbs Senior Guard
Thru 17 Games: Averaging 13.9 Pts, 4.4 Rebs & 4.6 Assists + 44-of-121 (36.4%) on 3-Pt Attempts + 86.1 FT%

This is pathetic tv coverage. Is the volume for anyone else changing? Mine has gone up and down a few times.

Also, the removable practice goals are visible

Jacksonville is a huge city. Surely there is a nice Middle School Gym that can be rented to upgrade the game day experience for JU?

I hope Billy Nimnicht’s contribution to the school was posthumous. Would have to be embarrassed to have his name on that court

My local HS has significantly better tv broadcasts than this and play in a gym at least 3 times bigger. It's amazing how schools like this are allowed to play in the same division as big ten schools.

And yet they'll still find a way to beat us...

They will and it’s absolutely maddening.

So…no replays during dead balls, but replays of uncontested layups during live ball action. Wow

We should have 4 more points. Preston has missed two layups. Why is Zac Cleveland not dressed?

Looks like Warfield is feeling better about his shot

Preston is 3-4 from the floor. Yet he missed 2 layups?

Preston having an outstanding game.

As bad as the broadcast has been the announcers have been pretty decent.

Take out the LU broadcast team and these guys are like Enberg and Packer compared to most of the ASUN broadcast teams.

This is the type of game that our system shows out. We have just made things so tough for JU to do what they want to do on O.

Love seeing different guys step in the scoring column. Tonight it was Warfield and Preston . Good win in a tough place to play.

Something has clicked for Preston. Married life must be treating him well

Ah yep. I guess one was bricked so hard they didn’t count it as a shot.

Not sure what Preston did to you, but why not give him credit for a great game instead of finding a negative and harping on that? 14 points, 10 rebounds, no fouls. Cleveland will get his turn. Love his aggressiveness and attitude. Looking forward to him over the next few years.

I never said he didn’t have a good game. It did turn out to be a good game for him. He still missed several shots that should not have been missed. He did play better after I made the comment I made in the forum and for that I am glad.

My point on Cleveland was that he was in street clothes for the game. Is he injured?

Someone close to the program told me that Cleveland was ill (not COVID elated) before the last home game. Perhaps he is still getting his legs back underneath him. I predict that he is going to be major contributor in the coming years, but I am glad to see Blake having a great senior season. With Shiloh, Kyle and Blake graduating, Zach will definitely be a major player over the next three years.

Those are DIRTY WORDS to Ballcoach.

Should have said, "it's amazing how schools like this are allowed to play in same division as SEC schools".

If we can get offense consistently from the 3 and 5 spots like we did last night, we’re never gonna lose again. We’ll be a tough out in March.
