SE Missouri State Redhawks (1-2) at Oregon Ducks (1-1)
2:00 PT, Matthew Knight Arena
Media: radio, Ozone
We look at directional state schools and figure that it probably means an easy win. That may not be the case for teh Redhawks of the Ohio Valley Conference. Yes, SE Missouri State comes in at 1-2, losing on the road to Missouri and Bradley, and beating a Division II team. But the Missouri loss was relatively close, despite the Redhawks not having their best player, and the Bradley loss was a buzzer beater, so the Redhawks come in confident that they can play with a bigger conference team.
The Redhawks are led by 6'7" forward Leon Powell, averaging 18.0 ppg in two games this season with a field goal percentage .938, or 15/16. Yes, small sample size (as well as around the basket game) as something to do with that, but this will be the first team Powell has faced that has legit bigs. Woods, Ashaolu, Jacob, and Emory will have their work cut out for them dealing with the big guy. The other key players for the Redhawks are forward Tyler Stone, going for 15.3 points and almost seven boards, and PG Marcus Brister, also going for 15.3 points as well as 5.3 assists.
KEYS TO THE GAME:
- CONTROL THE INTERIOR -- Two of their main weapons are posts, but they haven't faced a team with any real size yet. Our big guys need to patrol the paint and lock Powell and Stone down.
- CUT DOWN ON THE TURNOVERS -- Oregon is averaging 20.5 turnovers per game thus far. With a trip to Nebraska looming on Wednesday. Its time to cut this out, now.
- BOX OUT AND CORRAL THE REBOUND -- Its also time to clean up the issues with giving up offensive rebounds. These guys should be boxing out better than that.

What's this I am hearing about Jabari Brown transferring??
My twitter feed has been suggesting this is true… Anyone have any information on this?
seems to be the case.....Wow

Sounds like it
he’s not on the bench here today.
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
He did have a "disinterested demenor" about him when he was playing.
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
He certainly got a lot more PT than he deserved for his play
So he better not be transferring about that. I wasn’t that impressed with him. Great physically, but poor shooting form, bad shot selection, didn’t seem to have that many skills.
Don't give us this "I didn't want him anyways, he sucked" stuff
he was a top 10 recruit who showed flashes of his potential. Can’t expect to put up 20 ppg right out of HS.
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
I don't think it was an "I didn't want him anyway"
as much as it better not be over playing time, because he wasn’t performing.

Can't have been
says he cleaned out his locker and left town right after the EWU win.

could be any number of reasons. Easy to speculate, hard to know for sure. Probably won’t find out either. if it’s not the right fit for any reason, good luck to him. Gotta be happy in life

I'm not saying he sucks (though he did perform poorly)
I’m saying it seems like he didn’t have a whole lot of actual CBB ready skills (shooting, court vision, passing, creating for teammates, defense, handles) besides dunking on people. He needed to stop forcing stuff into the teeth of a D and let the game come to him. He was trying too hard to be the man and playing too fast. Despite all of this, Altman had a very long leash with him and let him play through all of it.
If Brown can’t come to grips with the fact that he needs to change his style of play, improve his skills, or learn how to play better, than good riddance. If it was homesickness and just not being comfortable with the program, then it sucks for everyone.
I would have loved for him to stay in the program and get better, but that’s not in the cards apparently. Good luck to him wherever he ends up.
Starters
Singler, Sim, Woods, Nared, Loyd

@eDuckCCourtney @jeffspiegel @georgeschroeder Jerry Allen made an announcement on radio broadcast that he has left the team completely
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
He's also deleted his twitter and facebook page
this feels almost like an overwhelmed and homesick 18 year old to me.
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
Sounds like someone
who is very poorly handling the realization that he’s not going to immediately dominate college basketball.
Please stop dumping on 18 year old kids until you find out what happened.
I can call him a kid, I’m older than him.

thanks for the advice axebodyspray
I’ll take it into consideration

already in the bonus with 13:05 left in the half
lets see how our free throw shooting is

Redhawks getting lots of offensive rebounds
I’m tired of this
--Dave

A team with our size should not be getting battered on the offensive boards.

Autzen Stadium is where great teams go to die." - J. Brady McCullough, The Michigan Daily.
Fits the "left after EWU" story.
@Prehmmr is reporting that Jabari Brown has not been at last two Oregon hoops practices.
Don’t be surprised if he comes back though, this really feels like an overhwhelmed homesick kid making a rash decision.
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
...or not.

Must have just happened within last 5 minutes. RT @jeffborzello RT @Tha_Bubbs: (Jabari Brown) is no longer on the website’s roster.

in lieu of a radio, I’m heavily relying on your posts. ;)

ok
I’ll post more heavily knowing this
--Dave

don’t feel obligated. Even a score update every 5-10 minutes is fine for me. Don’t need an ATQ Gamecast here. Nick’s mileage may vary. ;)

Nared with a nice steal
can’t keep the handle for a breakaway. Passes to JJ who is at the line
--Dave

JJ hits both
9-12 fromt the line, a nice change

I see patterns.

Jabari Brown transferred from first high school to Findlay Prep for junior year then quit midseason at Findlay to move back to Oakland.
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
sounds like he should have gone to berkeley
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
what transfer options does he have now?
St. Marys? USF? San Jose St?
He'll go wherever he wants.
Top freshman player, but probably somewhere in California. Groan.

looks like he left Findlay Prep right after losing his starting spot.
Nice knockaway by Jacob
Loyd gets the steal, then brings it down for an elbow jumper (Loyd apparently can shoot now!)
Back up to a 7 point lead, 28-21. SEMS timeout.
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
He could always shoot
It frustrated me to no end when he’d pass up open jumpers last year.
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
his FG% last year says otherwise
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
He'd drive the lane a lot and get squashed cause, well, he's short.
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
Loyd with a great steal
dude goes up for a three and Loyd rips it out of his hand….much improved defensively. But he gets blocked on the other end.
SEMS pushes it to the other end for a layup, but Woods shoves it down his throat. Timeout.
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
its nice having an interior presence
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
Great sequence
Oregon gets the steal, and Nared hits an 18 footer, then Woods blocks another one and get the score on a nice post move. Now Loyd at the line, hits both. Awesome defense right now, SEMS can’t handle the pressure. 34-21 UO
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
We should have star recruits leave more often.
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
Singler hits two more FTs
extends the lead to 15
--Dave

Sim with the offensive rebound and layup at the buzzer
Oregon ends the half on a huge run, and is up 38-17. We’re starting to see Altman’s ideas coming together. The defense is suffocating, and the Redhawks can’t handle it. And we’re starting to see the O come together with some really nice post play.
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
apparently its not hanging out outside and jacking up threes
who knew?
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
Nared get a layup to start the half
then SEHS turnover and Loyd at the line. Loyd makes 1-2. 41-21 UO
--Dave

SEHS turnover
What the hell dude, this isn’t football!
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
dammit
Loyd gets a nice drive and layup, the Woods, who is having a great game, goes down with a turned ankle.
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
and now Nared picks up two fouls in two seconds
and has to leave with 4 fouls
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
and now Ashaolu picks up his third
we’re running out of bigs
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
we have 5 (if you count Emory as a 3/4 hybrid)
is it possible to be out of bigs?
"Forget it. If 21 gets behind you, you can play the fight song." --Scott Van Pelt
Ducks up 28 now
SEMS is struggling to even get a shot up. Fantastic defense.
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
now we get a ten second call
awesome defense!
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
and JJ with the jumper
Ducks up 30, 52-22
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
And Barron with a steal
gets it up to Emory for the big breakaway slam
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
and now Barron is down after getting kicked in the face
he’s going back to the locker room…ugh
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
and another steal
EJ hits the jumper….56-22

Is SEMizzou just really bad?

we're playing with a lot more effort and intensity
but this is also an awful team
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
still credit for taking them behind the woodshed and kicking their ass, though
--Dave
Addicted to Quack, your friendly, neighborhood Oregon Ducks blog
we have our first Nic Lucenti sighting

Whoa, how did they go from 22 to 55 points?

FINAL
86-61 Ducks. I’ll put up a recap later tonight after the kids are in bed. Hopefully, we’ll find out more about Barron and Woods.
