They're Back

Today marked the first day of tryouts for the Men's Basketball Team for your Franciscan University Barons.  Open tryouts were scheduled from 9-11 p.m. eastern time tonight, and continue until Friday.  Tomorrow Crazy Pills and Chris Mullin will try to visit these open tryouts and try and get a pulse of these '08-'09 Barons. 

We actually do have sportswriters.

Apparently the Finnegan Fieldhouse operates through Christmas Break. Today I was rummaging around the Athletics section of one of my favorite websites and found that there has been some new game recaps posted about our beloved Barons. I cannot say when they were put up because they have no time stamp, but I can say two things about them.
1. The game recaps are a little bit late.
2. (And since we do not like to be critical here at the Baron Blog) at least there are recaps up.

Here are the two latest games
Waynesburg and Altoona
and here are two other game recaps that were recently posted
Ohio University Eastern and Hiram.

Wow. 27 Turnovers.

1-11. 9 straight loses. I guess its because we're playing really good teams or something.
Again, FUS does not have an article on its Athletics page. But fortunately for you the Yellow Jackets of Waynesburg and the Baron Blog came through. Their account can be found here, but I will summarize it.
1. Score at halftime was 52-17.
2. Again we jacked up 3s, but only made 2-12 in the first half, 16.7%.
3. And not to overdo it, but we had 27 turnovers.
