The Red Wolves are coached by John Brady, who is in his fifth year at the school following a 10-year stint at LSU. He guided the Tigers to a pair of SEC regular-season titles and a trip to the Final Four in 2006. Arkansas State returns a pair of starters from a team which went 19-12 and won the Sun Belt West Division title in 2012-13. The 19 wins were the program’s highest total since the 1997-98 season. The Red Wolves were picked third in the conference preseason poll, while guards Brandon Reed and Ed Townsel were both preseason All-Sun Belt Conference picks. ASU, which has only played 10 players in the first seven games, relies on its balance with nine players averaging at least 13.9 minutes per game. ASU is a veteran squad with five senior starters with its only losses coming at Colorado and at Wyoming. The Red Wolves average 78.7 points per game, including nearly nine 3-pointers per game. The three-guard offense is paced by Melvin Johnson III, who is averaging 17.9 points per game and is shooting 64 percent from 3-point range. Kirk Van Slyke paces the inside game as he averages 14.7 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. Reed, who transferred from Georgia Tech, averages 9.6 points and 3.0 assists per game while posting a 3-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. 2 Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Sounds like a start similar to Creighton won't cut it against this bunch........time to take everybody seriously. Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Melvin Johnson at 65% from 3? Not only does that lead the nation, it's pretty much record-setting material, is it not? Quote Link to comment
huskerhill Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Melvin Johnson at 65% from 3? Not only does that lead the nation, it's pretty much record-setting material, is it not? 7 games into the year? Probably not. Quote Link to comment

Not saying that it will finish that high, but 65% at ANY point in the season is impressive. (some of our guys would lift their free throw % with that number) Quote Link to comment

Comish Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Can someone technically astute enlighten me WHY, when an early game goes long, they can't show a double screen? Or switch the 2nd game to at least the geographic area for the 2nd game and bring the rest of the country along later at the conclusion of the first? And why (when the audience is irritated already at the delay).............they insist upon showing the teams shaking hands and other post game formalities? It really seems like the technology is there, but some genius in the control booth holds everyone hostage...! Quote Link to comment
