Duke is up by 52 on Augustana  and they're playing their best player if you're up by that much why play your starters.

Getting them live game action to prepare for the season. It's like a practice. Not a mercy game. If coach thinks the starters can gain from more time then that is why he would be playing them.

Guess you are right.

Sometimes coaches will do this in the non con for the same reason until some predetermined time. 2 minutes left or 3.

Yes but of course you don't want to run the risk of injury.

[WayneFleekHoosier 51,717]

True.

A couple of former Hoosier targets seem to be at the forefront of Penn States attempt to turn the corner. Lamar Stevens (I wanted this kid bad) had 14 points and 12 boards in their exhibition and Tony Carr had 15 points, 2 assists, 3 boards. I like those two as building blocks for that program, one that always gives us fits.

Cool anecdote, a college teammate of mine is the head coach of school PSU had their exhibition against last night.

You run that same risk every day at practice too. You can't coach or play in fear of getting hurt because that's usually when it will happen.

So they did bring back the rule that coaches can call timeouts on inbounds plays.

Smotherman and Cline would have been able to help them on offense if they hadn't gotten in trouble.

That's a badddddd matchup for little sister. Timing, style, personnel makes for a less-than-fun day there.

Half of the games that I want to watch all collide with each other. My parents have Butler tickets and some of the games they have season tickets to the times of the games all are right in middle of each other. I clearly need some serious help.

I hate to give credit to painter but good for him to recognize a weakness and schedule a secret scrimmage with a team that presses. Glad they lost by 23 though

They seem to always struggle with it though. Don't have they play UL this season?

Five star recruit Lonnie Walker seven minutes into the game, sitting behind the bench at the UK exhibition blowout vs a bad NAIA team last night. Won't keep UK from getting Walker (or other recruits), but thought it was pretty funny:

Maybe he was Louisville the night before????
