Sounds about right.Grand Canyon U had their first game yesterday (exhibition) against and at Montana State. GCU won, final 97 to 60
Michael Finke started, had 16 points, 1 rebound
Tim Finke played about 13 minutes, 2 points, 4 rebounds
Box score
if we are going to comment about the one rebound (and keep slamming someone who probably outperformed their ranking), then shouldn't we comment about the 16 points?
For real. He was a local kid ranked 200. IDK where the large amount of hate comes from. Expectations were big going into last season because of all the preseason interviews calling him such a great fit for BU offense. That's not his fault. Just seems overblown to me.if we are going to comment about the one rebound (and keep slamming someone who probably outperformed their ranking), then shouldn't we comment about the 16 points?
Hate? I think its probably a combination of joking and frustration he never became a better player, but mostly the former.For real. He was a local kid ranked 200.

Let's see how people react around here if Kane or Giorgi has 10 against Wesleyan.Ok. He had 16 points and 1 rebound against nobody.
16 on 10 shots, 2/3 from 3, with 1 foul. I doubt we would have found a use for him this year. Kane and Giogri will clearly be better.if we are going to comment about the one rebound (and keep slamming someone who probably outperformed their ranking), then shouldn't we comment about the 16 points?
Freshmen vs Grad transfer is kinda a big difference.Let's see how people react around here if Kane or Giorgi has 10 against Wesleyan.
No doubt, but there are numerous people here you think this team will be better without Finke, and I'll enjoy watching them twist like pretzels to explain their thoughts as the season progresses.Freshmen vs Grad transfer is kinda a big difference.

Pretty sure Berg88's comment was sarcasm, cause that's a line you can't really disagree with, regardless of the rebounding numbers. The "hate" stems from him being a bad defender. Is it that unreasonable to dislike how someone plays defense, regardless of their recruiting ranking and home town? I don't hate him as a person, or as a basketball player overall (he would've given this team a lot), but I hate how he plays defense.Yeah, hate. As in they hate on him. They don't hate him.

It isn't unreasonable. But after reading that particular opinion a lot for the last couple of months, I wanted to voice my opinion.Pretty sure Berg88's comment was sarcasm, cause that's a line you can't really disagree with, regardless of the rebounding numbers.
