Around SBN: How The Kings Beat The Coyotes: Lather, Rinse, Repeat

How was the men's basketball exhibition?

Sadly for me, I am in Claremont, CA, and therefore I am dependent on second hand information (read: the internet) about the game. So is there anybody that can fill me in? My analysis on the game (based on stat sheets and videos) after the jump. 

Star-divide

You guys can point out things that I miss here.

- According to Coach Rob, 80% of the defense was made. Good, now closing out on 3-point shooters is going to be much easier. 

- Poor FT shooting. Gotta correct that. Remember the upset against ranked Arizona? We closed out the game because of the freebies. 

- Like Joe Burton's work on the glass (8 boards). Of course, his performance is against less-than-ideal competition, but if he didn't do well against Pacif. I would worry a bit. 

- Cunningham with 3 threes? That's a good sign. He might look like a threat on both inside and outside. At least making open 3s looks like an option. 

- Speaking of 3 pointers, 8-23 is a good start. Hover around the 34/35% and OSU will be fine. However, I am a bit concerned that half the shots were 3 pointers. Hopefully the Beavs don't keep jacking them up at this rate, and I am confident that they won't.

- Transfer Eric Moreland looks like a good piece alongside Burton (11 pts, 6 boards). If he and Collier (also had a good game) can develop enough, OSU would be really good with Joe Burton, Collier and Moreland, with Brandt coming off the bench giving good minutes too.

- 20 assists against 16 turnovers. Like the former stat, not so much on the latter. But I am confident that that TOs will decrease once the team shakes some of its rust. 

That's all I have to say, at least from the information I saw. Mind if you guys can fill in the blanks for me? (I would especially like to hear about the incoming freshmen). 

Thanks
