Class of '66 Old Fart

4 point deficit under 3 to play

Butler 46-44 with 4:19 left to play.

Butler leads 41-37 after 3 quarters. This could get really ugly if we can't get our excrement together in the 4th Q. 6 more TOs and now have 15 for the game.

35 points in 26 minutes! Good Grief! We have a grand total of 3 assists on 12 made FG.

A better (but far from good) 2nd Q and we hold a 28-26 halftime lead but failed to get a shot off at the end of the half even though we had about 20 sec. to work with. Pts: Garzon & Parrish each 7; Chloe 5 9-23 FG 4-8 on 3s Butler - 10-25 FG 3-5 on 3s Reb: Parrish 4; Garzon & Chloe each 3 15-12 rebounding advantage Another 4 TOs and now 9 for the game.

Wednesday night trivia. LeMoyne's coach, Nate Champion, played high school ball in Logansport, IN and A. J. Dancler from Southport HS is a sophomore on the team.

I'd be lying if I didn't agree with you. Stanford 3-0 and has scored 89+ points in all 3 games. Just don't see we have the defense to slow them down and especially if we're still missing Beaumont and Bargesser.

No, it's not bad news. https://hoosierillustrated.com/bryson-tucker-has-shown-a-little-bit-of-everything-on-the-floor-to-begin-his-iu-basketball-career/

Jamie Shaw of Rivals reporting an IU offer to Bryson Tucker a 6'6" SF who attends Mount Saint Joseph HS in Baltimore, MD. The '24 class isn't ranked by either 247 or Rivals and there's just not much out there on him. No stats on MaxPreps and and an inactive Hudl account. He was selected for the USA U16 National Team that recently competed in the FIBA 2021 Americas Championship and averaged 9.5 ppg. and 4.3 rpg. @BrysonTucker3_

Sluggish first Q by both teams but we do lead 13-11. We're just 3-11 FG and committed 5 TOs. On a plus note, we were 3-5 on 3s.

And if you didn't already know, Riley Makalusky, sister of our new recruit Maya Makalusky, is in the Butler starting lineup.

No change to the starting lineup: Ciezki, Gardon, Parrish, Moore-McNeil, Meister

Bargesser and Beaumont out again tonight.

Seems newsworthy

Commits to Kentucky. She was our last remaining '25 offer with Caffey and Makalusky committing to IU earlier today.

Raoul reports we offered 6'2" Kaelyn Carroll in April. She attends Tabor Academy in Marion, MA and also plays varsity volleyball. She's #29 in the latest ESPN HoopGurlz ranking. Although she did not make the final roster, she was one of the 26 girls invited to the USA U18 national team training camp being coached by our own CTM. @Kaelyn_Carroll 247 From just a couple of days ago a story from Dushawn London but no mention of IU. https://247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/article/five-star-kaelyn-carroll-eyes-north-carolina-kentucky-and-others-as-recruitment-heats-up-232812243/

In my best Max Klinger voice - Holy Toledo!. We're going to be 10-0 in 72 hours and no game thread!! I don't follow the betting lines but last I saw we're a double digit favorite. Current weather outlook has afternoon showers but only 30%; temperature 60; wind ESE at 9 mph. Preview Radio Live Stats
