I'm suprised Fisher did not schedule a scrimmage this year. Typically they do play one, but I guess not this year.
I know they had at least one vs. Medaille from Buffalo. Although I do not know how it went. Anyone??
I was at the Medaille vs Fisher scrimmage... being a former Medaille player Ill keep my biased opinions out and give a few insights on what I saw in terms of Fisher. For some reason Ozell was not in the starting lineup, possible disciplinary actions??? I only get that impression because there were times where he was pulled for shot selection and got into it with the coach a lil on the sidelines. As far as his play, when he was on he was on, great athlete basically what you would expect from him. Another player I was impressed with I believe was Jordan Koch. Long athletic could shoot the ball and great finisher in transition, even threw one down pretty hard. Maybe had some issues with shot selection too, would have loved to see him and Ozell on the floor at the same time more. I was most impressed by him defensively as he guarded four out of 5 positions at points during the half. The big kid from frontier is a horse. Moves pretty well for a big guy his size lots of potential. Newman played hard defensively... the other bigs showed decent mid range shooting. The classic fisher high low looks. I do not know who he was but there was a backup point guard who really struggled against pressure and dribbled the letters off the ball. Thats about all I have as far as things that stood out individually. As a team often times they looked stagnant on offense, I think that may have been due to some line up issues and feeling each other out. Defensively it was on and off at times, looked a little weak in tranition D however bigs altered some shots on that end and were very active on the glass. Medaille dominated the first half Fisher won the second overall probably played even when it came to the guys who will actually play. Medaille's younger guys dominated the third period but no one that played in that half will probably make an impact this season for either side. Probably alot more could have been picked up but I was more focused on the Mavs haha. Hope that helps out sorry for this being a novel!
