United only 8 players?

Anyone know why only 8 players showed up on the live stats tonight? Do they have players unavailable?

Goulding is probably still recovering from the boomers
ekene ebekwe is injured, that was stated at the start of the game
same as david barlow. I think that's all the players.

Oh and Owen Odigie is on a long term injurt list

Strange game. Lsu belted but the won a few nights earlier. Head coach fiery for united. Will have to learn how to talk to officials before much longer otherwise he will be in T trouble very early on.
Good game presentation and crowd turn out.
Barlow looked disinterested from the sidelines when everyone else on the sidelines was involved.
Simmons missed a potential spectacular dunk and played well.

Some things I liked about last night and some I wasn't that keen on.

The airship floating in front of people just when you want to see what is going on, WTF is that about, really? Like the clappers, annoying and a waste of money.

Crowd was good, about 10-11k but the game didn't reach the heights we expected, I think LSU were tired.

Cheerleaders were awesome, any NBL team that don't have them will lose patrons, period!

Court announcer was weird, to say the least and B.A.L.L.E.R does not spell Ballers... (Not even a catchy thing to say out load, let the crowd determine the chant, please).

Overall if UTD stay focused on what is important and get rid of the annoying stuff, they will do okay, but a rival Melbourne team is crucial to this, I am not sure the board at UTD share this vision though.

Right now, UTD is trying too hard to promote themselves as THE Melbourne NBL club that represents all Melbourne Basketball Associations, but as they say the harder you squeeze the more comes out the cracks!

What was awesome about the cheerleaders? Their appearance or the way they revved up the crowd?

I watched a few minutes of the stream, was the music played constantly throughout the whole game or only when I was watching?
