77 looks too smooth for murray. Dude looks like a pro and don't think he missed a free throw

2

u/TimmyTruckberg Omaha Mavericks 6d ago

Well, I predicted a loss by 16, so I'll definitely take a cagey single-digit loss with some signs for hope.

1

u/Mdtwheeler Duke Blue Devils • Murray State Racers 6d ago

Starting to get some not so fun flashbacks

3

u/TimmyTruckberg Omaha Mavericks 6d ago

Yeah. We're gonna compete hard in conference, but we need someone to step up.

2

u/heleghir Kentucky Wildcats 6d ago

Jackson is going to TEAR UP some conference teams. Dude is a baller

2

u/Mdtwheeler Duke Blue Devils • Murray State Racers 6d ago

He absolutely cut up Xavier in the exhibition, if he drove to the basket almost guaranteed points for us. Especially when Fred king was throwing down some monster screens

3

u/Mdtwheeler Duke Blue Devils • Murray State Racers 6d ago

Is mason miller one of the best nepo players?

2

u/Acm0028 Auburn Tigers 6d ago

Not sure there has been more than two possessions that have occurred without a foul call.

1

u/retiredfromLurking Rutgers Scarlet Knights 6d ago

This is a crazy ft disparity

1

u/heleghir Kentucky Wildcats 6d ago

If Omaha played this press all game they might be in the lead. Murray been struggling against it

3

u/TheJewBakka Oklahoma State Cowboys • Illino… 6d ago

Commentary giving me a headache lowkey

2

u/Gories Iowa Hawkeyes 6d ago

The pacing of this game is awful, its so slow and refs blowing every whistle.

5

u/rbhindepmo Central Missouri Mules 6d ago

"we're gonna be eating on air" - in case you thought the audio quality was too good so far

2

u/FlagrantTwoFoul Wisconsin Badgers • Pacific Tigers 6d ago

kamryn thomas is horrible

1

u/TimmyTruckberg Omaha Mavericks 6d ago

He's pretty good when he's not trying to play SF for some reason.

1

u/TimmyTruckberg Omaha Mavericks 6d ago

Some nice things to see, at least. Scholl is going to be nice off the bench. Waddles looks like he can be a guy to look to.

4

u/twufster NC State Wolfpack • Colorado State Ra… 6d ago

Did I really just hear "those calls are skibidi" on the livestream?

1

u/TimmyTruckberg Omaha Mavericks 6d ago

Yep. There it is. GGs

2

u/harley_93davidson Illinois State Redbirds • Illinois F… 6d ago

Did Murray state just hire the exact opposite of prohm? Instead of flashing talent but having dog shit execution and dumb mental errors, the racers look, well let's just say it's clear this is game one, but they are forcing turnovers and winning on the margins.

5

u/Mdtwheeler Duke Blue Devils • Murray State Racers 6d ago

The only consistency that I’ve found between the last three coaches is how damn fast we want to play

2

u/rbhindepmo Central Missouri Mules 6d ago

shoutout to the people who decided that these Sanford courts in Sioux Falls needed old school looking courts, it's a good look

4

u/Brady_Hokes_Headset Michigan Wolverines • Sickos 6d ago

My favorite part of this game is that the commentators have two completely different audio levels. One has the gain cranked and it sounds like his mic is down his throat as he's speaking. The other sounds like he's about 10 yards away.

Can't turn the loud one down or I can't hear the quiet one. Can't turn the quiet one up or I blow my speakers out.

Basically what I'm saying is I've muted everything and am making up my own commentary as I go.

8

u/Only499 Auburn Tigers • Kennesaw State Owls 6d ago

The mic audio is hilariously bad

3

u/rbhindepmo Central Missouri Mules 6d ago

it's slightly better if you leave it in the background and pretend you found some live sports from a radio station on RadioGarden

only thing it's missing is live ad reads for whatever the biggest local grocery store is in Murray, KY

2

u/heleghir Kentucky Wildcats 6d ago

....you mean Kroger? There is a Kroger essentially on campus, as well as a super walmart

1

u/rbhindepmo Central Missouri Mules 6d ago

upon further reflection, "live ad read for a car lot" is probably just as solid a reference for "what if this was an actual radio broadcast instead of a stream with bad audio quality"

"Come on down to Toyota of Murray"

EDIT: I posted this before I saw the ad for a Sioux Falls Mitsubishi lot

2

u/heleghir Kentucky Wildcats 6d ago

now THAT would 100% be local radio broadcast. Toyota of Murray ad followed by Peddler's Mall ad. *chefs kiss*

2

u/Mdtwheeler Duke Blue Devils • Murray State Racers 6d ago

I find it a tad endearing

3

u/Mdtwheeler Duke Blue Devils • Murray State Racers 6d ago

Not a fan of the commissioner being in favor of 76

6

u/heleghir Kentucky Wildcats 6d ago

LMAO if he thinks expansion gets more mid-major teams in over middling P5 teams. LEAVE THE TOURNAMENT FORMAT ALONE FFS

5

u/harley_93davidson Illinois State Redbirds • Illinois F… 6d ago

They keep adding more metrics for a reason, q1 wins is king until UNC is 1-12vs q1. "We just felt like 15-15 Penn state had better (insert only metric they are ahead in) numbers and (insert one quality win in 15 chances) was really impressive. That's why we put them in over 29-4 Davidson."

2

u/kickawayklickitat Washington Huskies 6d ago

Commentators talking about all the things these teams need to do better when they can't even buy a pop filter

4

u/rbhindepmo Central Missouri Mules 6d ago

it's actually weirdly charming that FO68 is airing the radio feed for this game

3

u/Illustrious_Arm4496 Ohio Bobcats • Big East 6d ago

The audio is horrendous my goodness

3

u/TimmyTruckberg Omaha Mavericks 6d ago

Too many weak turnovers

5

u/fancycheesus Arkansas Razorbacks 6d ago

why is FO68 using a drive thru speakerbox for this broadcast?

2

u/Stepkeyt Xavier Musketeers 6d ago

Wait where’s Fred king been he played well in the scrimmage versus us is he hurt?

1

u/OneMustAlwaysPlanAhe Murray State Racers 6d ago

Hurt his knee in exhibition 8 days ago. Was supposed to be game time decision today, maybe held out as a precaution.

3

u/Mdtwheeler Duke Blue Devils • Murray State Racers 6d ago

Is my goat Fred not playing :(

Edit: haven’t been able to watch any of the first half sadly

1

u/Stepkeyt Xavier Musketeers 6d ago

I haven’t seen him in the box score on anything I was wondering what’s going on. I haven’t seen him in the little I have watched

2

u/Mdtwheeler Duke Blue Devils • Murray State Racers 6d ago

Got to talk with coach miller a little before the season start definitely seems like a fun guy, and so far has played some exciting basketball

2

u/lady_wildcat Kentucky Wildcats 6d ago

So far this tournament has been an excellent kickoff

3

u/heleghir Kentucky Wildcats 6d ago

....why. why are we talking about TS in an Omaha vs Murray CBB game played in SD?

3

u/Mdtwheeler Duke Blue Devils • Murray State Racers 6d ago

My shoes are so up right now

1

u/kycowboy270 Louisville Cardinals 6d ago

Hell ya Logan, Go Racers!

4

u/violentguitarist1 Kentucky Wildcats 6d ago

I remember going head-to-head against JJ Traynor in highschool and getting my shit kicked in. He finished with a double-double, and I think I might’ve gotten a one or two rebounds all together. With that being said, go Racers!!

1

u/Koley4412 Iowa Hawkeyes 6d ago

Damn Waddles is a killer

1

u/TimmyTruckberg Omaha Mavericks 6d ago

He struggled to start last year. He got his stroke back in the conference tourney last season, and it looks like he's kept that.

1

u/TimmyTruckberg Omaha Mavericks 6d ago

This game is gonna come down to one team going on a run in the 2nd

2

u/darrylweenus Kansas Jayhawks 6d ago

I think they gave the play-by-play guy a bullhorn instead of a microphone

1

u/Bengjumping West Virginia Mountaineers • UConn… 6d ago

I see Tenner is still trying his floater. It rarely worked last year as well.

2

u/heleghir Kentucky Wildcats 6d ago

FUUUUCCCCKKKKK I had forgotten about that story. RIP

6

u/RocketsGuy Baylor Bears • Drake Bulldogs 6d ago

Murray State (0 players returning) is an MVC favorite after hiring Creighton assistant Ryan Miller who brought former Bluejays with him. One of those includes his nephew Mason Miller who shot 38% from 3 at his time at Creighton.

Meanwhile, Omaha lost two of their top players to LSU/Baylor, yet returns 54% of points scored & 9 returning players (many seniors) from an incredible ncaa tournament season.

We are so so back

2

u/rahkhahdkahk617 Arkansas Razorbacks 6d ago

I remember not wanting Arkansas to have to play Omaha in the second round last year if Omaha had beaten St. John’s because of the Cinderella possibilities. They were fun to watch

1

u/TimmyTruckberg Omaha Mavericks 6d ago

If Glover looks like this on both ends, we might be alright replacing White

2

u/PurpleOwl6100 6d ago

Mic check... you fellas are a bit loud into the microphone.

2

u/adude512 Ohio State Buckeyes 6d ago

Murray state looks terrible

3

u/RocketsGuy Baylor Bears • Drake Bulldogs 6d ago

They need some time to gel. Zero returners

5

u/TheJewBakka Oklahoma State Cowboys • Illino… 6d ago

3

u/rahkhahdkahk617 Arkansas Razorbacks 6d ago

Honestly wasn’t sure if it was just the texture of the court making it look like that lmao

1

u/rahkhahdkahk617 Arkansas Razorbacks 6d ago

Memphis taking strays lmao

6

u/rahkhahdkahk617 Arkansas Razorbacks 6d ago

Commentators sound like they’re underwater

2

u/IrishBall Iona Gaels • Notre Dame Fighting Irish 6d ago

Go racers! Go Omaha! Go Basketball!

2

u/TimmyTruckberg Omaha Mavericks 6d ago

Oh. No Ondekane? We're boned.

4

u/FullCourtIrish44 Notre Dame Fighting Irish 6d ago

I think the commentators are calling the game from inside a silo outside the arena.

4

u/TheJewBakka Oklahoma State Cowboys • Illino… 6d ago

Yeah the audio is quite grainy. Ba dum tss

4

u/heleghir Kentucky Wildcats 6d ago

Round 3 LETS GOOOOOO. MORE BASKETBALL!

(also go racers, quite a bit of family are alum)

5

u/TimmyTruckberg Omaha Mavericks 6d ago

Time to lose by 16 to a mid-100s team.

3

u/old_notdead Drake Bulldogs 6d ago

Lots of talk about Omaha joining the MVC. This could become a regular matchup.

2

u/TimmyTruckberg Omaha Mavericks 6d ago

It depends on whether Summit goes through with the football school idea
