Class of '66 Old Fart

Phinisee missed another game today due to an injury. McCutcheon is participating in the Marion Classic and we have further info on Phinisee's injury. Phinisee, a 6-1 junior point guard with offers from Butler, Indiana, Purdue and Virginia, took a knee to his upper right leg early in the season and injured it again in a win over Kokomo on Dec. 9. Phinisee had his leg drained on Wednesday and said he hopes to be back for next week’s home game against Tech. “It’s probably 60 (percent),” he said. “It didn’t feel that good (Wednesday) but it’s getting better.”

FW North Side edges Lawrence Central 42-40. Brooks with 12 pts. and 9 reb.

Disgusting doesn't even come close to describing what happened assuming Deadspin hasn't embellished the story for its own benefit. If Hafiz was in any way involved, I don't want him in an IU uniform representing our university, I don't care how good he may be.

In regards to the new allegations against UNC, this from Dana O'Neil at ESPN If I am reading legalese properly, NCAA has put back extra benefits allegations that it had removed in North Carolina's amended notice of allegation. And the words "men's basketball" appear once more.

Link to the report please.

Final non-conference cupcake game of 2016 as the Austin Peay Governors (4-12) visit Assembly Hall. And just who was Austin Peay you ask – he was governor of Tennessee 1923-1927, hence their nickname Governors. Possibly their most famous basketball alum is James “Fly” Williams recruited in 1972 by then assistant coach Leonard Hamilton off the streets of New York. He played 2 years before leaving to play pro ball. As a freshman he averaged 29 PPG, 5th best in the nation. As a sophomore, 27.5 PPG, 3rd best. Even more memorable was the crowd chant of “Fly is open, let’s go Peay” and I’m not making this up! Game Preview Game Notes Stats - Live Radio TV - BTN Plus

So if Duke suspends Allen a whopping 5 minutes, the ACC will be OK with that because it's Duke. More spineless than the NCAA.

City of Palms Classic - Forrester with 9 pts and 4 reb. in a 53-42 win over Hillcrest (Shamiel Stevenson).

Box score from Garland's game on the 17th against Pebblebrook (Collin Sexton)

We should either shut this thread down or change the title. It has gotten soooooo far away from a discussion of the game itself.

I checked last evening and no evidence of any kind of formal police charges filed in Monroe Co.

So possibly as much as the first 5 minutes of their next game?

Kansas freshman Azubuike out for season with wrist injury.

Allen needs a Gibbs slap to the back of his head only with a lot more force behind it.

Somebody forgot to tell Stony Brook they were supposed to roll over and play dead. Feeling just a wee bit of nervousness as we've had some 4th Q collapses.

Paging Mr. Miyagi, you're needed in the Elon dressing room!

Also with 4 assists. With a little work she could pull off a triple double!!

New IU record as Tyra Buss records her 50th consecutive double digit game. What a player she is and we are so fortunate that she opted to stay after Curt Miller left.

No apparent letdown in intensity. 10-16 from the floor and everyone involved.

Humorous tweet of the day from Kent Sterling. Grayson Allen is to basketball as @RealSkipBayless is to sports media - a relentless disappointment incapable of defying low expectations.

8:15 now the approximate tipoff.

Announcing on Christmas Day
