Class of '66 Old Fart

Cody with a double double in the Hornets 107-99 win over the Hawks. 16 pts. and 11 reb. 8 of 14 from the field.

Didn't expect five-star junior Darius Garland to be the volume shooter in his matchup with five-star Alabama signee Collin Sexton, but Garland had to shoulder a bigger offensive load. Sexton was more efficient in this one, though. Went 9-for-17 from the field, while Garland was 7-for-25. Jeff Borzello, ESPN Staff Writer

FW North 77, Evansville Harrison 54 Keion Brooks 23 pts.

IMMEDIATE HELP WANTED: Point Guard. Apply in person Bloomington, IN Paging Robert Phinisee; paging Darius Garland.

Now I have to listen to my 2 daughters and 1 son-in-law brag for the next 12 months.

deja vu all over again!

Ladies defeat Oakland 84-59. Gassion and Cahill both with double doubles. Leading scorers: Cahill 17, Gassion 15; 12 each for Buss and Anderson. Rebounding – Gassion with 20, Cahill with 10. Buss with 6 assists. Ladies dominated all the statistical categories. Can’t tell from stats how well the bench played overall. Contributed 22 pts. and 11 reb. but that doesn’t tell us how effective the bench defense was. Next game is Tuesday evening at 7:45 ET at the University of Florida. And again Wed. evening in Florida against Stony Brook both games a part of the Florida Sunshine Classic.

Hmmm. Martin with 24 pts. in 24 min.

Double double for Gassion and Cahill only 1 rebound away from her own double double.

There's not a team in this country that should EVER underestimate Butler. Stevens and now Holtman - they are well-coached, have their game plan and they stick to their game plan and they do it time and time again. Will they hang a banner; maybe never, but for good fundamentally sound bball they are pretty hard to beat. My daughter bought me tickets for this game as a Christmas present but because of road conditions earlier and expected later tonight, Mrs. Old Fart and I gave them up. So far, I'm glad I did because I couldn't stand to be sitting in the middle of the Butler section after this first half. Now, if we can come out strong in the first 4 minutes of the 2nd half we'll be OK. But if he play those 4 min. the way we did the first half, oh dear..........!

We want MSB! We want MSB!

8 freakin' stupid TO's.

Buss with her 48th consecutive double digit scoring game, 1 shy of the IU record of 49 held by Karna Abram '84-'87.

It's really too bad that PUke won because I so badly wanted to use this.

Who? LOL Well, yes and no since he actually graduated from Marion HS!!!!!!!!!

You definitely win a prize package because for whatever reason, we've had little success in Fort Wayne; PUke with a big edge in recruiting from that area. Most recent was James Hardy 2004-05 who left the bball program to concentrate on football. Before him Tracey Foster 1982-84 from Homestead HS who left after 2 seasons and transferred to UAB (I think). John Flowers 1981-83 who either transferred on his own or was kicked off the team and ended up at UNLV. I think academics were a part of his problem. Those are the only ones since the mid-1970's so it's definitely not a hotbed for IU.

Laskowski broke the single season South Bend scoring record (I think that's right) averaging 28.9 PPG his single season and, as I recall, Abernethy bested Laskowski the very next year. St. Joe coach at that time was Bob Donewald who later became a Bob Knight assistant. Now you got me going. Those 2 were the first 2 kids from South Bend since the 1959-60 season. And since Laz and Aber, the only South Bender was walk-on Raphael Smith 2012-13. But there is another very famous IU alum from South Bend -- Don Schlundt who played from 1951-55 and had an outstanding career.

You are waaaaay toooooooooo young. John Laskowski and Tom Abernethy both from St. Joe HS are the first ones that come to my old and feeble mind.

Calhoun's numbers are most impressive considering she's only a freshman

With all the icy road reports and travel warnings I'm seeing they might not have much of a crowd at either game. Lots of horror story tweeters on travel in and around Indy this morning.

Fort Wayne News-Sentinel. Former Indiana guard helps Long Island to upset of Fort WayneYogi Ferrell Yogi Ferrell scores 16 in Nets win Long Island earned perhaps its most impressive victory of the 2016-17 NBA D-League season thus far Friday, as it stunned Fort Wayne 118-113 in front of 2,508 fans at Memorial Coliseum. The Nets (4-11) came in to the game in fifth place out of six Atlantic Division teams, while the Mad Ants (9-3) were in first place in the Central Division. However, Long Island made plays down the stretch to stretch a fourth quarter tie into a win. The Nets got double-figure scoring from five players, including 16 points from former Indiana University star Yogi Ferrell. Ferrell hit 6 of 13 shots, including both 3-pointers and also dished out five assists and made three steals. He did toss away four turnovers, however. He was joined by teammates Trahson Burrell (21 points, 10 rebounds, five assists), Mike Scott (23 points), Chris McCullough (14 points, nine rebounds), and Donnie McGrath (12 points, six assists) in contributing to the upset. Fort Wayne rallied in the second quarter to tie the game and remained tied into the final period. The Mad Ants were paced by forward Alex Poythress, who scored a game-high 32 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Indiana Pacer forward Rakeem Christmas finished with 10 points in 24 minutes, but was minus-12 in the plus/minus category. Travis Leslie added 21 points for Fort Wayne, while University of Indianapolis product Jordan Loyd had 16 and Trey McKinney-Jones 12. Long Island shot 45 percent from 3-point range, while the Mad Ants managed to sink just 8 of 31 (26 percent) from long range. That helped the Nets overcome eight missed free throws. Following a 6-1 start to the season, Fort Wayne is just .500 in its last six games. The Mad Ants will host Greensboro Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the coliseum.

Brooks with 25 pts. as FW Northside defeated FW Snider (Malik Williams) in OT 76-73.

Seen tweets that Gassion has logged the most minutes of any player this year and has only committed a total of 8 fouls!
