Slippin' and slidin'

On tonight's radio show -- Woodson says "we have a couple of seniors who will celebrate (Senior Day) on Wednesday.

Brandon Gaudin and Robbie Hummel are on the call for Indiana vs Rutgers on Wednesday night. Rutgers (16-12) (10-8). Following a 4-game winning streak, Rutgers has now lost its last 3 games -- on the road at PUke and Michigan and a home loss to Wisky last Saturday. Live Stats Radio

Boy Athlete of the Week: Bryson Tucker, Mount Saint Joseph, basketball The sophomore guard was the driving force in three tournament wins last week as the No. 1 Gaels (28-5) won the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference championship. After a 29-point performance in a 68-60 win over No. 5 Archbishop Spalding in Friday’s semifinal round, Tucker added 20 points, six rebounds and four assists in Sunday’s 63-60 title game win over No. 2 Mount Carmel. In the Gaels’ 73-36 quarterfinal win over Calvert Hall on Wednesday, he contributed 16 points, five rebounds and three assists. On the season, Tucker is averaging 22 points, six rebounds and four assists per game.

Tiller's season ended with a 60-56 loss to Butler. He had 14p 3r Per MaxPreps for 30 games: 12.2p 7.7r .8a .9s 1.3b 1.8t

Osterman: Mike Woodson pointed out postgame that he never won at Minnesota as a player. Smiled and was slightly tongue in cheek when talking about it, but said he was proud of his team finding a way to finish. "I’m thanking these guys bigtime for fulfilling a dream." Mike Schumann: A little Xavier Johnson fun fact -- His 124 assists on the season are the most in a single-season for an IU player since Yogi Ferrell in 2016. Going back to the 2003-04 season, only Ferrell has averaged more in a season than Johnson's 4.6 per game. Trayce passed Ray Tolbert to jump into the top 20 of IU's all-time scoring list. Jackson-Davis has Walt Bellamy and D.J. White coming up next on the list. Through 18 Big Ten games, Indiana has the best defense in the conference at 1.003 points per possession allowed. Hoosiers are 11th offensively at 1.008 points per possession.

Tonight's officials: Terry Oglesby, Chris Beaver, Brooks Wells.

Mt. St. Joseph wins it 63-60. I had Tucker with 20p 5r 3a 1s 0b 0t. Tucker didn't have a spectacular shooting night but if you watched, you saw what he can do with the ball in his hands in terms of creating his own shot. The Baltimore Catholic League tournament starts on Wed., and MSJ will play Loyola in a 1st round game.

Cupps' stats for last night's blowout. No idea on how many minutes he played but he had 5p 1r 9a 1s 0b 0t. At a minimum, his 9 assists outscored Tecumseh's final score. Next up is a March 6, matchup vs. West Chester Lakota West for the Southwest 4 Sectional/District championship.

He also played with a brace on his thumb. This was a post-game tweet from Mike White of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Adou Thiero's stock with colleges has been on the rise lately. Indiana Hoosiers very interested. And Pitt showing more interest. Jeff Capel waited for Adou outside Quaker Valley locker room after today's game and invited him to Pitt game Tuesday.

No. 1 Richmond (25-1) and No. 8 Pine Forest (23-4) battled back and forth throughout the game. McNeil hit 3 FTs with 28 sec. left in regulation to make it 63-60 but PF scored to send it to OT. In OT, Richmond held PF scoreless and the final score was 70-63 and Richmond advances to the 4th round. McNeil 28 pts. and 19 reb. He scored 5 of his 28 in the OT.

Latest Update: Final score 72-15 Probably safe to say Centerville will advance in tournament play. After 1 quarter tonight against New Carlisle Tecumseh Centerville led 31-4 in a district semifinal game. This is just humiliating. Halftime Centerville led 51-8. After 3Q it was 64-10. Tecumseh isn't chopped liver. Per MaxPreps its season record is 14-8. Based on the score I would have expected a winless season. I'll have Cupps stats in the morning for what they'll be worth as I can't imagine any of the starters played very many minutes.
