Class of '66 Old Fart

Need somebody on scene to let us know if any of the Not-So-Fab 5 are sporting any blackeyes today.

Before the complete story broke and it was still rumors, I saw 2 different comments that all of the presumed suspendees were participating in the shootaround except Stewart who reportedly was just standing at the mid-court line.

More honors for Mackenzie. Junior forward Mackenzie Holmes is one of seven players nationally to be added to the 2022 Wade Watch list at the midseason point, the Women's Basketball Coaches Association announced today. She joins teammates Ali Patberg and Grace Berger on the 37-player list. Holmes is averaging a team-high 17.9 points, 8.2 rebounds and shooting 61.5 percent from the floor in 14 games. She has scored in double figures in 13 of 14 games, recorded three double-doubles and averages 1.9 blocks per game. Holmes currently ranks sixth in school history with 134 career blocks and became the 30th member of IU's 1,000-point club earlier this season. She has been sidelined with a knee injury since Jan. 5. The Gorham, Maine native is making her first appearance on the Wade Trophy watch list this season as she has also appeared on the 2022 Lisa Leslie Award watch list, Naismith Trophy midseason watch list and Wooden Award midseason Top 25. She was also a 2021-22 preseason All-Big Ten honoree, The Athletic preseason All-American honorable mention and two-time Big Ten Player of the Week. The Wade Trophy — now in its 45th year — is the oldest and most prestigious national player of the year award in college women's basketball. It is named in honor of the late, legendary Delta State University head coach Lily Margaret Wade, who won three consecutive national championships with the Lady Statesmen. First awarded in 1978 by the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD), now known as SHAPE America, the Wade Trophy has been presented to the WBCA NCAA Division I National Player of the Year since 2001. This is the first year that freshmen players are eligible for the award. However, no freshmen are on the Wade Watch list. The WBCA will announce the four finalists for the honor in mid-March. The winner of the 2022 Wade Trophy will be announced in late March or early April on a date to be determined.

It was senior night at NHS and the Rams nearly pitched a 1st Q shutout leading Brookwood 26-2 at the end of the Q. Final score was 82-37 and Jakai only played around 16 min. finishing with 10 pts. on 4-6 FG; 1-3 on 3s; 1-1 FT; 3r 3a 3s 0b 0t

Josh a/k/a last year's LOSER - here's what you can do

After watching the missing 4 min. I had Peterson with 26 pts. on 9-12 FG; 0-3s; 8-9 FT; 4 reb; 1 asst; 5 stl; 4 blk; 2 TO and that's sitting out the entire 4th Q.

St. Mary's 11-7 (2-4 WBL) beaten by Van Wert 12-6 (3-3 WBL) 64-59. Parks 28 pts.

Centerville keeps on rollin' with a 94-59 win over Springboro. Cupps 18 pts. on 7-12 FG; 4-8 on 3s; 0-2 FT; 1 reb; 7 asst; 1 stl; 0 blk; 1 TO. In tonight's game, Cupps scored his 1,000 point tonight in the 2nd quarter. Gabe is the fourth ever 1,000 points score in school history. He is also now the leading all time assist leader in school history with 333 and still has his senior season to play. As a team, Centerville hit 17 3s tonight.

It is with a sad and heavy heart that I must concede my title as reigning champ of Prediction League. I've fought the good fight but must acknowledge that age has slowed me down and I can no longer bring my "A" game to each and every prediction. I'll patiently await my induction into the Prediction League Hall of Fame. Thank you one and all.

Cathedral 72, Bosco Institute 58. Jr Booker 16pts, 8rebs, 3blks Haven't seen why and they certainly didn't need him but Tayshawn Comer did not play in Cathedral's game this evening.

I truly applaud those of you who've just posted your predictions and have stuck with our Hoosiers.

Absolutely. Final score was 65-34 and I know he finished with 26 pts., but I lost the feed for the first 4 min. of the 2Q. I do know he sat out the entire 4Q and that he scored 13 of his 26 in the 3rd.

So are these simply 1 game suspensions or will we learn later they're all sitting multiple games?

Dopirak just tweeted the same names.

Dopirak tweeted he can't confirm but hearing the same names that we've heard.

Hope all of you trying to get in to change your game prediction don't crash the site. lol

Miro played 37 min. today in an 81-71 loss. He had 21 pts. on 8-19 FG; 1-6 on 3s; 4-4 FT; 11 reb; 4 asst; 8 stls; 2 blk; 4 TO.

We heard something similar several games ago about suspensions that was false.

No rest for the weary. On paper, Illinois sucks but it's a road game, no Mackenzie Holmes and potential for a letdown following Sunday's sweep of PUke. GO HOOSIERS.

CVCA with a home game tonight against Orrville HS (Orrville, OH ring any bells?). The game will be streamed and this is the link. athletics.cvcaroyals.org/livestream 7:00 scheduled tipoff. The link will take you to NFHSnetwork.com but I believe you'll be able to watch the game complete with audio at no charge. At least this is how it worked for his previous home game.

Alec Lasley - Indiana signee Jalen Hood-Schifino has now moved up to a five-star prospect and the No. 16 overall player in the Rivals150 class of 2022 rankings.
