Class of '66 Old Fart

Loved this from Rick Bozich: Pete Maravich averaged 7 more points per game over his 83-game college career than Michigan State scored tonight.

End of 3 and we're hanging with a 54 - 53 lead. Gonna be a hard fought 4th quarter. Points: Berger 16; Holmes 13; Patberg 9 Reb: Holmes 8; Patberg 8; Gulbe 6; Berger 5 Assists: Penn 3 Shooting: IU 44% O$U 34%

It took an overtime but Montverde maintained its winning streak with a 76 - 65 win over Arizona Compass. Williams played 8 min. scoring 2 pts; 2 reb; 1 asst; 1 stl; 2 TO. Jalen Hood-Schifino played 8 min. scoring 1 pt; 1 asst; 2 TO.

#19 Arkansas upset #3 UConn 90-87. Chelsea Dungee scored 37 pts. for the Razorbacks the most ever scored against UConn. Va Tech beat #2 NC State in OT 83-71.

Fast 11-0 start for us followed by an 11-1 run by O$U and after 1 quarter we lead 20 - 15. Berger with 8 pts. in the quarter.

Season opener last night for Aire (pronounced I-ray) and Bishop McNamara and it was a bummer as they were manhandled 104 - 73 by Paul VI. Aire finished with 17 pts. on 7-11 FG; 3-7 FT; 8 reb; 2 stls; 5 blks; 1 TO. He has a slender build just slightly bigger than Edey at PUke. Ran the floor very well but had trouble hanging on to the ball and finishing at the rim. Should have had a lot more rebounds but allowed himself to get boxed out too many times.

Jaelynn back in the starting lineup.

Northwestern beats Iowa in Iowa City 87-80.

What an honor and truly deserved. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/indiana-basketballs-undefeated-1975-76-team-is-selected-for-the-college-basketball-hall-of-fame/?fbclid=IwAR1kyn2LBdZJbPnPuayaZpqFjQtlfQRpCJtPe40devf4u6aEF62FO7U-UaA https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2020/11/28/mens-basketball-undefeated-1975-76-champions-to-be-inducted-into-college-basketball-hall-of-fame.aspx?fbclid=IwAR1b8mh34nJRDJPLW8n92PdYXJLSOCmm9d2uuIf7o1X5QOQCvGAOrpQXL-c https://www.si.com/college/indiana/basketball/indiana-basketball-1976-undefeated-team-to-be-inducted-into-college-basketball-hall-of-fame?fbclid=IwAR0Q8W5Ak4S-fc1um6g8YSNOJe0kijjZPehskppDMQc5XM4RzoLTvxseq48 https://indiana.rivals.com/news/iu-1976-undefeated-team-selected-for-college-basketball-hall-of-fame?fbclid=IwAR1CalnJEA4BGKItnKM11apHkmYeOwJ9ychE53de5O7Y524fw4LSeP2jQek

Cross no longer with Miami and sounding like it was Jim Larranaga's decision not Cross'. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/former-iu-basketball-2020-recruiting-target-matt-cross-leaving-miami/?fbclid=IwAR2YDCb6VPMarSevVMQCiE4JFC1qruFNwVkKbzxciD7a2uXfJo9ac5X2VqE Already seen a number of tweets that Archie should already have him on a plane to Bloomington. Could we at least find out WHY he was booted by Larranaga before we put him in an IU uniform? This kid's timeline below could be an indicator that he's a chronic problem child.

Glass Named to MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List Indiana men's soccer redshirt senior defender Spencer Glass was named to the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List, the United Soccer Coaches and Missouri Athletic Club announced on Thursday afternoon. The MAC Hermann Trophy, presented by World Wide Technology, is the most prestigious individual award in college soccer and is presented annually to the most outstanding male and female players of the year. Glass is one of 35 players on the Watch List and is one of four from the Big Ten Conference, joining Giuseppe Barone (Michigan State), Liam Butts (Penn State), and Jackson Ragen (Michigan). The Fort Wayne, Ind., native has started in 27 of his 64 career games played along the defensive backline for Indiana. He returns for his final season as the squad's active leader in goals scored (nine), assists (16), and points (34). The 2019 All-Big Ten second team performer has four game-winning tallies in his career. Indiana opens the 2020-21 season on Feb. 19 as hosts to the Wisconsin Badgers. The MAC Hermann Trophy Watch Lists are compiled by members of the United Soccer Coaches Men's and Women's NCAA Division I All-America Committees. Fifteen semifinalists will be named for both the men's and women's MAC Hermann Trophy near the end of the college season based on voting by NCAA Division I coaches and from those candidates, three finalists will ultimately be placed on the ballot for the coveted award. For more information about the MAC Hermann Trophy, including a list of past winners, visit MACHermannTrophy.org. The Hoosiers have had seven players named the top player in NCAA Division I soccer. Former IU great and current Atlanta United FC defender Andrew Gutman last won the award following a standout 2018 campaign. MAC Hermann Trophy winners Andrew Gutman – 2018 Danny O'Rourke – 2004 MAC Player of the Year winners Todd Yeagley – 1994 Ken Snow – 1988, 90 Hermann Trophy winners Brian Maisonneuve – 1994 Ken Snow – 1988, 90 Armando Betancourt – 1981 Angelo DiBernardo – 1978

He could be back on the market in another year -- just sayin' Tom Crean is now 9-35 in SEC games in his third season as Georgia's basketball coach.

Adding insult to injury for Kansas State -- strength coach Ben O'Donnell tore his Achilles yesterday and had to have surgery today. The team bus also broke down before the game. Some coaches walked to the arena. Not sure how they're getting to the airport.

John Marshall junior center Lilly Meister leads southeastern Minnesota girls basketball scorers at 28.6 points per game.

East Rockingham 63-47 over #1 ranked in 3A Charlottesville. Nickel with a triple-double of 21 pts; 13 reb; 10 asst.

I didn't fact check, just copied it off the IUHoosiers.com site. Their bad; my bad.

Let's try to all be consistent and use the preferred Aloha shorthand -- f****ing Governor is a f****ing idiot. Thank you.

There may actually be a high school basketball season in Illinois and then again there may not. Confusion still reigns in the state but at least some schools may be able to play a few games. This is part of today's announcement: The Illinois High School Association announced on Wednesday that basketball season will start immediately and run until March 13. Teams will need seven days of practice before they can play games and the schools must be in COVID-19 regions that have reached Phase 4. Basketball won’t have any postseason. Local school districts still have the authority to cancel this limited season in its entirety if they so desire. There is also a major question mark as to what the Chicago Public School system will do. https://chicago.suntimes.com/high-school-sports/2021/1/27/22252908/high-school-basketball-ihsa-coronavirus

New Jersey high school season getting underway this week. Cruz had 23 pts. (10-18 FG); 6 reb; 2 stls in an exhibition game earlier today. First official game is Friday.
