Class of '66 Old Fart

Good story on TJD's improved rebounding and blocked shot stats. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-basketball-jackson-davis-has-hurried-up-his-giddyup-to-higher-rebound-and-shot-block-totals/?fbclid=IwAR2LmdUZty8N6vvSHa9IAz1mQ8_-2EbpPRwl-xXSTlvnCuIA_xd-S1hf90k

After leading by 20 at the half, Norcross scored the first 7 pts. of the second half but could never get any closer. Newton wins 83-67. 'Tis the season for my officially unofficial scorecards. I had Jakai with 16 pts. on 6-16 FG; 2-6 on 3s; 2-3 FT; 7 reb; 5 asst; 3 stl; 2 TO; 2 blk. Georgia uses a 35 second shot clock. I thought the game was much more physical than a typical Indiana high school game and Jakai doesn't shy away from contact so the B1G shouldn't be a big change for him. The Rams also plays a very up tempo game and fast breaked at every opportunity. To me he seemed extremely quick with good reaction time and good handles.

Unofficial reports on Trent Sisley from a scrimmage between Heritage Hills and New Albany. 23 pts. on 11-19 FG; 1-5 on 3s

In response to a tweet from Chronic Hoosier Derek Elston @Dsol32 Nothing to be sad about .. football is just a filler before IUBB starts !!!

#OTRHoopsTipOffClassic: 15 Pts 15 Rebs 4 AST 3Blocks

Lousy Effort Offensively

Had to check out at halftime and greatly relieved to see we pulled it out. Mackenzie with a poor stat line for her and wonder if she was pressing too much playing "at home". Hopefully a wake-up call that they're not invincible. Now off to the Bahamas for a Thanksgiving Day game against Stanford and a Saturday night game against Miami (FL). Have to be a lot more focused than we were today but as @Woodson1980 said "a win's a win".

Quinnipiac with a 33-27 halftime lead and we need to wake up. Berger with a half court shot to make it that close.

Helms for Q with her 3rd foul.

Good grief. We don't look at all like the #4 team in the country. Midway thru the 2nd Q and we trail 27-16. 7 TOs; getting outrebounded;

Another game for Theodosiou and Middleton.

End of the 1st Q and Quinnipiac with a 16-10 lead. Neither team looks sharp.

A considerably less than stellar start for the women today. Midway thru the 1st Q and Quinnipiac leading 12-4. Not looking sharp at all. We already have picked up 5 fouls; 2 of them on Cardano-Hillary.

Scott transferred from Riverwood HS in Sandy Springs, GA to Mount Vernon School in Atlanta for this season. Dr. Kris Watkins @DrKrisWatkins #OTRHoopsTipOffClassic: 2024 Dennis Scott III had a big 1st half for @MV_MOV finishing with 10 pts. Has great footwork/patience when he catches it in the paint. Standing at 6'9 he is a mismatch problem can put ball on floor from perimeter and soft touch on drives.

No, we stopped several weeks ago.

For you Freddie fans here's a 9 min. clip of his past season highlights.

Yes.

Linton star junior Joey Hart will be at University of Central Florida game Saturday at Evansville for UCF. Then Hart will take an unofficial visit to IU Sunday for Hoosiers game against Louisiana.

Jakai's teammate and cousin Stephon Castle committed to UConn today. Tom Crean losing another in-state target.

If you missed it in the Norfolk St. game thread @mamasa told us how this game got scheduled. Cool story on why we’re playing there. When Moren gets an out of state commit, she tries to schedule a road game in that area so the player gets to play near family and friends! This one is for Holmes.
