I think the USVI team isn't half bad.. I'm pretty sure both Yoingstown and N Kentucky both had close games with them. Should be a better test.

Wouldn't Kit be around 40 years old by now?

Here are the results for the above games. USVI are better than BVI and maybe better than Calgary.TheInsider wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2019 5:51 am I think the USVI team isn't half bad.. I'm pretty sure both Yoingstown and N Kentucky both had close games with them. Should be a better test.

The amount of points scored in these games is impressive. I dont care who we played.

Fantastic set of games down in the USVI. Obviously not the greatest competition, but they showed very well with a short bench. Time to fire up the hype machine and get my maroon footie pajamas back from the cleaners.
Re: Virgin Islands, August 2019, exhibition trip
I agree. Shooting percentages have been very impressive and the scoring is very balanced. Nice jobTheInsider wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2019 6:01 pm The amount of points scored in these games is impressive. I dont care who we played.

Re: Virgin Islands, August 2019, exhibition trip
It’s not saying much, but I believe the level of competition is much stronger than it was 4 years ago during the European trip.Juice Stand wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2019 6:47 pm Fantastic set of games down in the USVI. Obviously not the greatest competition, but they showed very well with a short bench.
Re: Virgin Islands, August 2019, exhibition trip
there seemed to be the least amount of buzz about CJ Jackson coming in, but he looks to be hitting 3s at a high rate. Small sample size, I know, but he looks to be a fluid guard with good length, and a knockdown shooter to boot? "intriguing"
Re: Virgin Islands, August 2019, exhibition trip
Is CJ Jackson the Carl Pierre of this recruiting class? In the 2 box scores that we have, he was 7-11 from 3. I don't care if it's pre-game warm-up, 7-11 is good.
I think that Mitchell kid might be OK. 2 games of 27 points and in the game he "only" scored 16, he played just 13 minutes. I am also happy to see Sy doing well; 14, 16 and 20 in reasonable minutes.
Granted, the level of competition was questionable, but I like the results and the fact that all 8 players contributed. Now, can we start speculating on playing time and stats?

Re: Virgin Islands, August 2019, exhibition trip
I agree. Pleasantly surprised to see these stats from him! Also as others have said I don’t care who we played the points scored have been beyond my expectations and I can’t help but be excited!
Re: Virgin Islands, August 2019, exhibition trip
I believe he fouled out , though.
