IU wins! Plays UK Saturday at 6 ET. Well done, Hoosiers!

5 runs in an inning for IU. Most runs in an inning for us this season. Not bad.

Home run IU! 12 - 6. What a riot!!!

Triple sends in 2 runners. Right field error. Another hit for IU. Drives in another run. 10 - 6.

Top of the 9th. W. VA changing pitchers. 2 men on for IU. One out. IU still 7 - 6.

West VA has 2 men on in scoring positions. One out. Bottom of 8th. 2 out...7 to 6. Sides retire...

IU 7 - 5. Top of 8th.

6 - 5 IU...bottom of 6th. IU changing pitchers in mid inning. Ty Bothwell pitching...2 outs..man on 3rd.

Top of 5th...IU 5 - 4.

Bottom of 3rd. IU 3 - 3 W Va. Oh well....

IU 3 - 1. Changing pitchers. # 37 for IU feeling discomfort in elbow on the mounds...gone. Reisedorph now warming up. Bases loaded...one out...ugh.

Indiana vs W. VA right now. First round NCAAT. W. Va just hit solo HR. 0 - 1 in the top of the 2nd. ESPN+. IU with 2 on the bases. Then loaded bases with no outs. Two outs...hit to the right field. 2 runners score! IU runner out at 3rd. IU 2 - 1 yeeehhaaaaw!

Not sure if this is the Mongolian Beef that some crave.

In another thread I posted: From the Athletic: " He’s a boom-or-bust player that has real defensive deficiencies right now, and I’d recommend that he only goes to up tempo, well-spaced offensive situations that allow him to get the most out of his skill level. Still, he’s worth ranking because the upside if he gets into the right environment is very real." On a Dayton fan forum, I gather this: Reports have him as being born in Phoenix AZ. His father is...apparently...very active in promoting his son. He is about 22 years old. He attended International Sports Academy as a high school senior. He is thin and needs big-time conditioning and weight training to compete with the best players. I am very curious what his GPA is. IMHO and just looking at tidbits...I wonder about Galloway's free throw percentage. If Galloway improves his scoring and free throws and keeps getting better at defense, then he may just be a lot better option than Mike from Mondovia, Arizona.

In my post this morning, I linked the Dayton Daily News story. Here: Mike Sharavjamts, former Dayton Flyers guard, withdraws from NBA Draft (daytondailynews.com) But it subsequently went poof. I read the whole article online. Once yesterday and once today. But now it is protected and there is a paywall for me. In case that it goes away again...or you cannot access it... Just search online for Dayton Daily News sports. Site will display more current stuff. But the next line starts a list of linked articles for previous days. In the article, it has one video of Sharavjamts. As a 6' 8" guard/forward he made the A-10 all-rookie team. He played in 32 of 34 games and averaged 23 minutes per game, 5.6 ppg, 1.9 rpg, 2.6 assists pg, 39% 68% 31.5%. Scouting report: NBA Draft Scouting Report: Dayton's Mike Sharavjamts - NBA Draft Digest - Latest Draft News and Prospect Rankings (si.com) This says that he walks on water: "Sharavjamts possesses a vast passing repertoire. He does all the simple things expected of a point forward, such as running the point in transition and making the right plays on drives with effective drive-and-kick passes, but also adds an advanced level of passing which is rare for a player of his size." There is much more in the SI article on the 6' 8 3/4" young player. As an aside, he is the first Mondovian to play D1. Reports have him as being born in Phoenix AZ. His father is...apparently...very active in promoting his son. He is about 22 years old. He attended International Sports Academy as a high school senior. He is thin and needs big-time conditioning and weight training to compete with the best players. From the Athletic: " He’s a boom-or-bust player that has real defensive deficiencies right now, and I’d recommend that he only goes to uptempo, well-spaced offensive situations that allow him to get the most out of his skill level. Still, he’s worth ranking because the upside if he gets into the right environment is very real."
