A Sea Of Red

We are up 13-8 at the first media TO on the strength of 3 Metheny treys.

Joining Nick on the radio call is none other than the great and mighty SCAR!

We lead 42-39 at the half.
Metheny with 15 points
Porter with 6 assists

I’m extremely disappointed in that last shot of regulation. I would’ve liked to see almost anything but that.

I made the unfortunate choice to turn on this game toward the end of regulation and now i regret it. The end of basketball games are unbearable. There's zero flow just timeouts, fouls and free-throws.

It was a good shot. An open Methany three is what you can ask for.

The bad is the continue scoring droughts that plague RM teams. Lastly, Cleveland’s turnovers and free throws continue to be a problem.

Metheny had 12 points after 5 minutes, but ended with 15 and didn’t score in the 2nd half. He can’t disappear like that.

I agree it was a good look but I’d still much rather see a more aggressive approach at the basket that could result in points or a foul.

Free Throws …it’s always free throws

You are correct about Cleveland's continued FT struggles, and it is extremely frustrating because he has the type of game that will get him to the line a lot. Aquino has been just as bad, and that is why our team % is so pitiful. As far as turnovers are concerned, so far it looks like he has really improved. Even last night, when he had 4, he also had 8 assists. A 2/1 assist/TO ratio for a 6'8" forward is outstanding, and his numbers on the season are even better.

I am actually encouraged by last nights performance. While you can't really compare this years FAU team to the last couple of years (new coach and big roster turnover) they are still really long, athletic and talented, and we took them to OT on a night we shot poorly from both 3 and the FT line.

Hoping SCAR will hang around to call the game with Nick again today. I was able to sync the youtube video with their audio last night, and it was awesome.

Nick and Scar are the LU broadcasting dream team (in my very biased opinion)

I agree. It’s a shame these two very talented people are not being more fully utilized

I'm curious to know how SCAR ended up joining Nick for those 2 games. As far as I know he is still based out of ATL, so I'm guessing he was in Charleston on business and just decided to do it for old time's sake. I suppose it would be wishful thinking to suggest he has actually been hired to do it full time.
