Ducks beat UC Riverside, as expected, yesterday, 91-76.
Got a first look at some of the new transfers. People are going to love the addition of Brandon Angel. Very solid all-around player. He and Shelstad will probably be the leaders in minutes played. If you haven't seen him, kind of an EJ Singler type. Does everything, not super flashy, but just no real holes in his game. From Stanford, so you may have seen him.
TJ Bamba was another starter that will be very solid. Kind of a Jermaine Cousinard/Kario Oquendo type of guard. Very athletic and aggressive. Was a starter for Villanova.
Ra'Heim Moss came off the bench as another ball-handler. Looked pretty good. From Toledo.
Supreme Cook didn't play.
As for the returners... Bittle had a rough start, but came on as the game progressed, although he's in dire need of a haircut. Evans had a great game, 23 points, couple of 3s as well as some great around the basket buckets. Shelstad was solid, but really did more distributing, only 9 shots. Tracy and Barthelemy were about what we expect from them (although Barthelemy didn't shoot well, only 1 of 8). Mookie Cook got some limited minutes. Nice to see him healthy.
There's only one Freshman on the team, Jamari Phillips, and he didn't play.
Next up is Montana on Friday, Nov. 8.
Note: FYI there is a BIG 10+ subscription for streaming video of games not on the network. I signed up. It's $90 for the year. Not really needed for football, but for hoops, and other sports...
