In all fairness to Harris, he is a 6'5" catch and shoot wing who could be a plus at times even without much athleticism. Mgbako is a 6'9" PF; a floor position that can put you in the league if you're also a catch and shoot threat, but with that comes more athleticism requirements.

Also in Harris' defense?

• He seems like a personable kid; he doesn't have those Mgbako dead eyes.
• Any assessment of Harris needs to be tempered by only having seen him in two games against very low level competition.
• Harris has yet to get into a major law enforcement kerfuffle at Taco Bell.

Anyone judging Harris at this point is wasayyyy premature. Kid can shoot, needs reps and more volume, we’ll see down the road if he pans out or not. Hell people questioned Wilkerson early on, which was hysterically poor judgment. Somewhere in the 7-10 game range  with real minutes and shot attempts— shooters need some reps and continuity

This is better. Direct link to the game.

I hope this stream isn’t as bad as the Argentina vs Virgin Island game. It’s like game 1 all over again.

Major upset brewing here. Really want to play Argentina

This is most certainly not the Argentine national team.

Also - just checked the stream quality and it looks good.

I would assume that Lindsay will be a no-go after twisting his ankle, and that Sisley will be feeling better than last game.

So far mine is not too bad.

The other group was really bad because this Argentina team margin of victory is 30+. 

[LIHoosier]

IU has their own link today

Edit: It seems whoever's manning the camera has 'Jump Around' in their head or there's a 6+ earthquake happening.

[Demo]

Is the camera not on a tripod? Between the constant shaking and the hideous placement this is kind of rough.  But it’s not buffering, so I guess there’s that. 

[LIHoosier]

The hope for me is it improves greatly once our game starts (the IU feed).
btw, Virgin Islands beat Argentina.

I assumed Lindsay was a no go as well but he looks like a go in warmups.

Team Argentina: The Argentinian roster is comprised of local university students who primarily play in Argentina's domestic collegiate system or lower-tier local club leagues. They do not feature any senior national team stars—such as Facundo Campazzo or Nicolás Brussino—who play at the elite EuroLeague or NBA levels. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
 

Given the info above, it seems that the Virgin Islands team of D2 and NAIA players should have been favored.

What was wrong with Sisley the last game.  I did not hear anything about him being under the weather or anything.

So, basically rec league kids. Ok then.

And I would love to know Burton’s actual measurements. They list him, what 6’0” and 190? No chance he’s that big. I’m gonna gues legit 5’10” and probably 175 or so. 

[68Hoosier]

Looks like its gametime.

[68Hoosier]

Karvalla getting the start

[Stuhoo]

Burton, Lindsey, Mustaf, Karvala, and Sherrell get the start.

[LIHoosier]

This is like an 80s Assembly Hall vantage point

[Stuhoo]

And Karvala drains a long three immediately
