Tip off in a few minutes. The game is on BigSkyTV.
Hornets win the tip!!! :lol:
But miss their first shot of the season.
2 quick fouls on Dickson, who is also hurt on the play.
Refs are calling everything on everyone.
The added athleticism on this roster is noticeable. 7-4 Sac with 16:40 left in the 1st.
Hornets are 2-4 from the FT line so far. TB and AND have both missed one.
The Hornet defense is sound. 10-4 Hornets 14:17 left in the first. TB just drilled a deep 3.
15-6 Hornets with 11:59 left. TB fed AND for a huge slam. Hornets are looking good.
Hornets are still missing their FT's. 3 of 6 from the line so far.
Bakersfield is in the bonus with 8:41 left in the half. The Hornets have gone cold.
The Hornets got hot. 24-10 with 6:18 left in the 1st. Rebounding has been incredible.
Bako on an 8-0 run. 11-0 run. Poor shot selection by the Hornets have let Bako climb back into this one. 24-21 with 3:57 left. It's falling apart for the Hornets. They are starting to get into foul trouble.
Pathetic end to the half by the Hornets. They were doing well then completely fell apart. Tied at 31 at the half. The Hornets are going to have to get it together if they want to pull this one out...and I will miss the second half. :x
Game is still on. OT Hornets down 2. 79-77 17 seconds left. Duro's layup is blocked Bako makes 1 of 2 FT's. Hornets down 3. Proctor is fouled with 4 seconds left. Proctor makes the first one, misses the second one gets the rebound but misses the shot. The Hornets lose. Terrible start to the season.
Here is the Hornetsports write-up:

Katz needs to have this team executing the fundamentals if he wants this program to make a splash. Losing the game at the free throw line is unacceptable. Also losing a two possession lead late in the game is unacceptable. People won't spend their time and money at the Nest if they continue to lose games in this fashion. Katz needs to clean this up!
