Not a single post about the game tonight? I wasnt able to catch it, any updates on how we looked tonight vs. last week? I saw that the final score was much more like what you'd expect from an exhibition but nothing else.

Yeah, that final score (96-45) begs the question was that team so much worse than Carroll or did Beavs just play a lot better. Was nice to see some of the names mentioned in brief article on OSU website — Holland, Hunt, Lucas, and my man Miller-Moore, who almost had a double double plus 5 assists. Really hoping SMM’s fire lights one under Hollins, who has all the talent to be successful but needs to play with more confidence and passion. Also have to like the 20 of 23 from FT line, though easier to hit those in a blowout.
Looking forward to hearing comments from some that were there.

The game was fun. My biggest takeaway was BiG Ben Gregg watching with family court side. Super excited about the possibility of landing such a stud.
the game itself was better than most preseason games I have watched. If the beaves improved anywhere it was most noticeable in their ball movement. Hunt is the real deal point guard we have been missing.

It was really hard to come to any conclusions from this game. In our area we were joking that the bench could have trashed the starters. Of course, that's probably just because WP ran out of steam about six minutes into the game. With scant exception, all the new guys had their moments and looked like future Pac-12 players. As is usually the case, the big guys need the most work and the shooters were quickest into the flow.
I won't say that anyone impressed me as a sure-thing. Lucas, Miller-Moore, and Hunt all looked good, but not necessarily any better than previous backcourts have looked against this type of opponent. At the moment, all I'm willing to say is that, for once, we have real depth. Will any of these guards be able to replace Stevie? Not sure. Will the bigs even replace Big G? Not sure. Is there an upgrade from Warren Washington in here? Not sure. But I look forward to finding out.

I really liked the energy that the second group of guards brought. Lucas is a bit slow on defense, but a great asset on offense. He has a quick release and seems to be a pure shooter. I am impressed with Miller-Moore and Hunt. You could feel momentum change as soon as they were sub'd in. The bigs, other than Kelly, will need to improve as mentioned in other posts.

Sounds to me like this was used to really test the bench out - when I didn't see Kylor with 30 pts and 10 blocks in 10 minutes of playing time, I figured he was in kick back mode watching the other bigs.

It definitely was. Tinkle started with the starters (ET, TT, KK, ZR, AV), kept them together for around 6-7 minutes, then started bringing in the new kids. Over the course of a few minutes he brought all the starters out, and we saw almost everyone by halftime. He started the second half with the starters again, but took them out a little sooner the second time. I wouldn't draw any conclusions about what the coaches are thinking from the minutes played.
tbonesrule says Lucas is slow on defense? He drew two charges while he was out there! I don't think he's at all slow, just inexperienced with the scheme.

Finally found a box score on Warner Pacific's website (seems pretty silly that Oregon St. can't put one up for this or the Carroll game). A few things I found interesting:
-- The four bigs (Joey Potts saw some action this game) other than KK had a combined stat line of 23 minutes, 7 pts on 3 of 9 shooting (Silva went 0-3), 6 rebs, 3 asts (all by Dastrup), and no TOs.
-- Lucas led in minutes (25) followed by 23 for Hunt. They combined for 8 of 13 shooting including 5 of 9 from 3. Hunt did a good job of stuffing the stat sheet -- 12 pts, 4 rebs, 3 assists, 1 block and 2 steals with only 1 TO.
-- Hollins had a productive 15 minutes himself with 12 pt, 5 rebs, 5 asts and 2 blocks
-- The good news on Reichle is he hit on 6 of 10 of his shots. The bad news is the he was 0-4 from the field including 3 missed threes. He did have 5 rebs and 2 assists, but I would expect that given the competition.
--Looks like Vernon played OK -- 17 minutes, 3 pts, 3 rebs and 2 asts. He only took 1 shot and hit it. It might not happen right away, but I don't think it will be long before Hunt passes him as starter or first guard off the bench depending on how WT decides to roll with the starting lineup.
-- Not surprising that Tres, Ethan and KK had productive games with limited minutes (16, 19 and 14 respectively).
-- As mentioned in my initial post in the thread, love Sean Miller-Moore's stat line -- 9 pts, 10 rebs (including 4 offensive) and 5 assists. Didn't like the 3 TOs he had (most on the team).
Can't wait for the CSU-Northridge game. Looks like they return their top 4 players from last year, but they were only 13-20. They and the Beavs had two common opponents last year UC-Riverside and Pepperdine, and Northridge won all those games -- beating Pepperdine by 7 and Riverside by 1 and then 2. Bring on the regular season.
