wrschnicke - thank you for your insight. If Latimer or any other player does bring it in practice, then they haven't earned minutes.
By the way, I'm an alum who has been going to LMU games since 1989.

Hmmm bballfan, did you mean they HAVE earned minutes? I kind of agree ... except you do realize that most programs NEVER play their walkons. Because their priority is to 1) win games and 2) develop the players they are investing financially in. You may have a walkon play senior night, and that's about it.
Our walkons have benefited from our being a weak program, and the actual difference in ability between the bench and the walkons is minuscule. We have been so short on talent, and bodies last year, that the opportunities are there. Even with programs that DO play walk ons - they usually don't see minutes until their third, or fourth year.
Again - I love our walkons. I love watching Daniel warm up Viney. That is team attitude, and sacrifice. And when Daniel does get into a game, I will be cheering for him, and loving every shot he takes. But can we please, please get our top guys playing the game correctly, and get some wins under our belt, before we start expecting walkon minutes?

Wait, so will this game count towards our W-L record?

Yes it will count. A of A is a D2 school.

By tonight we will be 3-5. Wyoming is next, a winnable game there. Looking at what wrschnicke posted about A of A's last few matchups I am expecting an outrageous lopsided score. Do we have any more predictions of the final score? I'll bite. 97-34 thx4leavinjimlynam 121-67 wrschnicke 89-35

I'm pretty dissapointed in the defense.
Two bright spots tho. Alex Osborne and Kelsey Chine

Wow, they gave Tim D. a cheap shot? Got ejected? Lampe didn't see it. What happened?
Maybe this will get us fired up. We should hammer these guys. C'mon!

My goodness, I appreciate all Lampe does on KXLU, but from the games I have listened to this year, he is really struggling. He can't get words out of his mouth, and then tries to catch up to the action, and gets further tongue-tied.
Maybe they need to give him a color guy again, at least for the home games. C'mon Jeff, regain your stride, some of us really rely on you.

Its always nice to get a win...but we missed 15 free throws, they made i think 7 threes on us and we gave up 72 pts to a terrible team...

Wow. They scored more points on us then any game they played this year. Heck - they scored more points then their only win this year (an exhibition game).
Defense? Lions? Defense?
