Point takes down WW but looks to be at huge cost, Krohn went down early and it looked bad.  He couldn't put weight on his leg and was helped off the floor.  He was on crutches on the sideline.

Side note, it looks like Tyshawn Teague-Johnson has some animosity towards his former teammates as he got T'ed up talking trash after blocking a shot.

6'8" Illinois Valley Central F, Brady Ward, has committed to Platteville.

Quote from: Greek Tragedy on December 20, 2025, 06:59:51 PMPoint leads Hardin-Simmons 38-22 at the break. Can't let up on the gas, we know what can happen. Butler with 13 and 7. Crohn with 10. Point is 4-8 from 3, but just 4-10 from the line. HSU has had a lot of good looks, but they just haven't fallen so far. Point is dominating the rebounding again, 27-14. Keep it up.

They let off the gas.

Quote from: tomt4525 on November 29, 2025, 08:09:22 PMThis Point team has mostly been solid on the offensive end but can't guard anybody to save their lives.  North Park was able to get to the rim whenever they wanted to.  The first half lead vanished because Point struggled to break the press for about an 8 minute stretch.

They will have to outscore teams this year if the first few games are indicative of this team moving forward.  Which is pretty sad knowing where Point's tradition came from on the defensive end.

Do you see this as a personnel issue?  Good guys but not defensive oriented and can't be coached up?  Somewhat hard to believe.

It's a personnel issue and a bad matchup issue.  There isn't one kid on Point's roster that I would consider "quick" for their position.  Combs is quick but I wouldn't say he is overly quick for a point guard.  Because of this, any team with quick, athletic guards will give them fits from keeping them out of the lane.  You also don't have a big athlete waiting in the lane to alter shots either.  Outside of Krohn, nobody on the roster has the size for athletic guards to worry about at the rim.  Losing Moore to injury and Tyshawn-Teague Johnson to transfer really puts this issue to light.

Quote from: Greek Tragedy on November 26, 2025, 02:35:24 PMI noticed Point recruit from Downer's Grove North, Bobby Grganto, not on the roster anymore. He was pictured on crutches prior to the start of the season.

Any idea, Tomt4525, PauldingLightUp? 

He's still on the team, but he's injured for the year.  He had knee surgery for an injury that happened in high school, he's basically redshirting this year.

Point has been so bad on the defensive end so far tonight that they switched to a halfcourt zone for part of the 2nd half.  There will be some soul searching on the defensive end in the next tape watching session.  Getting caught behind screens over and over and over.

6'6" McHenry(IL) F, Blake Renfro, has committed to play basketball at Platteville.

Krohn, Baumgartner, Miron, Butler and Combs in the starting lineup for the Pointers today.

Good start for the WIAC tonight, 3-0 with wins over Hampton-Sydney and St Norbert.

Oshkosh's roster is finally updated.

Seeing Eau Claire's roster awhile back I noticed that Brock Massey wasn't on it.  I think Massey was their biggest recruiting win last year out of the freshman, had D2 offers.  Anyways, I see he has matriculated over to Loras.

Whitewater's roster is posted.  No Tyshawn Teague-Johnson sighting, I wonder if he's hurt for the year or something.  He still lists Whitewater basketball in his bio on social media.

Quote from: tomt4525 on October 28, 2025, 11:46:54 AMThe Pointers have a case of the injury bug to start their season.  Cal Krohn, Seth Miron and Isaiah Moore all are out for an unspecified amount of time with different injuries.  They are all expected back by the start of the conference season.  Those are some big shoes to fill while they are out and giving some young guys, as well as Josh Bocher, some extra reps.

Miron played in the Purple/Gold Game so it looks like he's already healed.  Moore and Krohn sat out though so still waiting on them.  Pointers are thin in the frontcourt so not having Krohn is a huge loss for any amount of time.
