Manhattan Jaspers, Who?
-
Wikipedia: The Jaspers nickname comes from Brother Jasper of Mary, F.S.C., who was a memorable figure at the college. He was head of resident students, athletic director, and baseball coach during the late 1800s. (He is also credited with inventing the 7th inning stretch after noticing the players were regularly getting worn down at that point.)
As to basketball, the Jaspers’ most notable victory was upsetting Jerry West’s WVU in the 1958 NCAA 1st rd. They have made the tourney 8 times, including 2014 and 15.

@wissox Timberlake

Nicolas Timberlake. Averaged 18 ppg on 42% 3pt shooting last season on Towson. Has not looked very good this season
-
FUUUURPH
-
Furphy looks great though
-
Geez furph.
-
Nick had his 3 going last game.
-
(Whispers) our best 5 lineup is Juan Elmarko Kev Furph HD
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich thanks I never really expect transfers from places like Towson to work out. I know they do sometimes but not too oftenly for us.

I’m also low on mid major transfers but hopefully he starts playing better. He is a very good shooter
-
Close to 3 halves and Juan still hasn’t launched one.
-
Our freshman look mature, playing within the offense
-
HD with the whammy.
-
Pretty remarkable how much Juan impacts the game without scoring - even taking a shot…
-
Az 58 Duke 54 10 min left
-
Nick’s deal is going from the man to a role player here. Messes with the head
-
That one guy who thinks Harris sucks must have gotten to him and so now Juan ain’t shooting.
-
KJ not missing dunks tonight
-
KJ = Ben Simmons - the passing and terrible attitude
-
What?
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich say what?
-
HD is experienced,
-
He’s good at standing in the dunker’s spot
-

I think Frank Mason should count, but he was just an ex-commit to Towson.
-
KJ was quite the diva this offseason
-
@Zabudda good D right there!
-
@mayjay I thought about him but he would ruin my narrative if I counted him as a low major transfer!
-
Hunter is a really underrated passer, missed a few bunnies tonight tho
-
They all seem to be able to substitute and look smooth
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich I’d say he’s good moving without the ball.
-
Again!
-
Juan is the freaking man
-
Golly Juan!
-
Ben Simmons didn’t have a terrible attitude in college. I had first row seats to many of his games in Baton Rouge. His issue was he just wanted to go pro out of HS but wasn’t allowed to. I haven’t followed him that much in the nba so I guess people would say he has a bad attitude.
-
Simmons also is decent as a cutter and moving without the ball. But he’s only really effective as a dunker in a half court offense
-
Braun and Timberlake are responsible for just about all of their points
-
What the Juan?
-
Walk!
-
What is a Jasper
-
This defense… mercy
-
It’s a slang term for zinc ore.
-
Braun is playing decent defense. Better than Mitch
-
Pretty nice block by Braun there
-
Yeah we’ll take 25 at half

His passing has always been mentioned as a big strength and a huge part of why he’s so skilled.
-
Nice half there. Good effort out there
-
People talk about Juan’s lack of scoring but he may have the highest FG of all PGs

Not caring about scoring tends to lead to a very good shot selection
-
Juan has been very nifty.
-
I’m really liking me some Furphy
