Still Warriors on the Road
MSU struggles early then runs past UNO in front of yours truely at UNO Lakefront Arena.
“Mississippi State is a good team, make no mistake about it,” New Orleans coach Monte Towe [who, by the way, is a midget] said. “They are going to beat a lot of basketball teams this year. It was kind of pick their poison for them whether they were going to beat us inside or outside.”
UNO was determined at stopping Roberts, packing the zone around him, triple and quadruple teaming him when he had the ball inside. It worked in the first half limiting LR to 1 point. Meanwhile Shane Powers and Jamall Edmondson stepped up and knocked down jump shots. Also it seemed, Coach Stansbury game-planned getting the ball to Marcus Campbell early. Other than one pretty baby-hook, Campbell struggled. He’s got an NBA body with marginal talent. I saw him blocked twice by guys at least 4-5 inches shorter. On the other hand he never put the ball on the floor, which is an improvement over past seasons.
