Lol... Brad hyperbole strikes again, Fagbemi most athletic player ever
Little sloppy. Don't like that.
Getting a little careless these last few possessions

Fagbemi is definitely the most baby-faced player Brad has ever coached (in college).

7-11 from 3. Pretty darn good.

Big Ben with 9 points early. Good for him.
We seem to be on from 3. Hope we save some for later.

Second has to be Austin Hutcherson, right?
Lmao. Fabgemi better athlete than TSJ?
I like the version of Ben that hits open threes.
We’re going to live by the three or die by the three.
Looking good tonight.
Ben will be a really, really good bench piece. He’s playing like he’s much stronger, rebounding well, and is steady with the ball.
14-1 rebounds so far, maybe a little low considering..... LOL
I planned on using this game to spot weaknesses that a low level team might expose, issues that could hurt us against tougher competition…
S*%t…. I’m not sure J State is good enough for us to learn much from unless we start create challenges for ourselves

Jackson State isn't good.
1. They can't make open 3s.
2. They aren't smart on defense. For example, they should be making Fagbemi prove he can make an outside shot before playing up on him.
3. They can't compete for rebounds without fouling.
That said, we're doing a good job taking advantage of the situation. I'd like to see us handle and pass it a bit better when we're doubled, but I'm nitpicking at this point.

I get home and turn on the TV and see Jackson State has scored 6 points? This team sucks. Serious concerns about this season.

I didn’t see it on DraftKings but I wonder what kind of over under win total Jackson state would have. Got to be single digits.
