Royce White is special.

 

Knocked some of the cobwebs off today. Won 86-77, but ISU was up something like 26 in the second half and then proceeded to give not a f***. Team misses Diante Garrett though.

 

Booker was the first big off of the bench. Hit a three for us.

Ya I saw his stat line earlier, sick stuff.

Solid first game for IU, even if it was against Stony Brook (though, they are expected to be a tournament team, so they're tougher than most of the guarantee games).

We lost to a division 2 team. Awesome.

Too bad you didn't have Booker's three point acumen.

He woulda fouled out in the first half

This has to be Lowery's last season, doesn't it?

He had 10 and 5 for ISU today, Dillard had 9 dimes on a bad shooting day and Wood is starting for MSU, and we lose to division 2 teams...

20 mins, 10 pts (4-4 fg), 5 reb, 2 fouls. He won't have to start, so I'll take that.

This has to be Lowery's last season, doesn't it?

No. We are poor and he has years left on his contract, we're stuck and our program is dead.

I'm so emotionally invested into Belmont right now.

 

A guy from my high school played at Belmont a few years back, so I was hoping they could pull it off.

Wisconsin looked good yesterday (from what I could see on the computer), Brust was pretty hot from beyond the arc (I think he was the leading scorer), so while it was against Kennesaw St., its nice to see them making shots.

I saw a tweet praising him and Lenzelle as two Illinois sophs that may break out.

 

 

LaQuinton Ross is making grades and should be joining the Buckeyes in Dec. by far our best recruit.

Brust never played D in high school. He can fill it up and is not afraid to shoot but sometimes gets carried away on a bad shooting night.

IU plays Chattanooga at 4. I think they're worse than Stony Brook, so I'm hpping for a better all around performance, though they played well on Friday. I do want to see better 3-point defense, and more assertiveness from Oladipo in taking open shots from the outside if it's there, though.

Good game for IU, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Chattanooga had some players, started 4 guys that transferred from a power conference and picked to win their conference. It's unreal just how much Cody Zeller affects the game, without even touching the ball. I don't think anyone expected the amount of impact he has had on the defensive end too. 6 steals? Incredible awareness. Oladipo has also improved significantly. He's our best all around player, and it's not even close.

Highlighted the more interesting games.

How is Belmont playing Memphis in the Maui Invitational this week? Isn't it next week?

With the NBA season dead, gotta imagine a lot of NCAA games will bump up on ESPN. Should be nice.

With the NBA season dead, it's time to dive head first into NCAA basketball for the first time in my life instead of ignoring it until late February.

There are mainland games now.

Seriously? What's the new set-up then?

I guess if the Big East can have teams in Texas and Idaho, then the Maui Invitational can play games on the continent.

 

EDIT: There's also some weird tournament where Notre Dame and Missouri host teams for the first two rounds, and then apparently advance to play each other in the semifinals even if they don't both win these first two rounds.

Seriously? What's the new set-up then?

The main tourney will run as usual. Basically they did this to set it up like every other tourney where you play 2 games at home against sacrificial lambs, then 2 at a neutral site. Except with this they only play 1 at home to get the max of 4 games, then 3 in Hawaii.

Do we still get to see Chaminade?

Yes. They are in the main bracket no matter what.
