Coach K's farewell tour getting a bumpy start. His grandson and star freshman Paolo Banchero arrested. From the News Observer - Two Duke basketball players face charges in Orange County following a driving while impaired arrest early Sunday morning. According to court records, Michael Savarino, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski’s grandson, was arrested for DWI while star freshman Paolo Banchero is charged with aiding and abetting DWI. The N.C. Highway Patrol made the arrest in Orange County at 1:10 a.m. Sunday. “We are reviewing a legal matter involving two members of the men’s basketball team,” Krzyzewski said in a statement released by Duke athletics to the N&O. “Any further actions as a result of this situation will ultimately be determined by the Vice President/Director of Athletics and University officials.” The 20-year-old Savarino has a court date on Dec. 9 on his DWI charge. Banchero, who just turned 19 last Friday, has a Dec. 8 court date. Their status for Tuesday night’s home game with Gardner-Webb is uncertain. N.C. Highway Patrol spokesman Chris Knight told the News & Observer that Savarino was stopped for a stop sign violation while driving on Brushy Creek Road west of Hillsborough. Savarino is the son of Debbie Krzyzewski Savarino, who is the oldest daughter of Krzyzewski and his wife, Mickie. Debbie Savarino is an assistant athletics director at Duke. Michael Savarino joined the Blue Devils as a walk-on in 2019 and was elevated to a scholarship player this past offseason. He saw his first game action of this season on Friday night, playing four minutes in Duke’s 82-56 win over Army West Point at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Banchero was named the ACC’s preseason player of the year and is projected to be one of the top picks in next summer’s NBA Draft if he leaves school after one season at Duke, as expected. Banchero scored 18 points with seven rebounds in Duke’s 67-56 win over Campbell on Saturday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Savarino did not play in the game.

Pretty good on a basketball court and pretty good in the classroom.

Hopefully we dominate from the opening tipoff and the entire roster gets minutes. No. 4 IU makes a quick turnaround to host Norfolk State on Tuesday evening. Tipoff in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall is set for 7 p.m. ET. #4/7 INDIANA (2-0) VS. NORFOLK STATE (1-2) Tuesday, November 16, 2021 • 7 p.m. ET Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall • Bloomington, Ind. Broadcast: B1G+ Radio: WHCC 105.1 FM (Austin Render) Live Stats: Statbroadcast Social Media: Facebook | Twitter | Instagram ABOUT THE COACHES Indiana Norfolk State Teri Moren Larry Vickers Career Record: 349-80 (19th Season) Career Record: 79-69 (7th Season) Indiana Record: 150-80 (8th Season) Norfolk State Record: Same ABOUT THE SPARTANS Norfolk State comes to town on a 2-1 start with wins over Chowan and at Campbell. They faced another Big Ten foe on Sunday when it fell 86-48 at No. 17 Ohio State. Sophomore forward Tatiana Jones and junior guard Deja Francis lead the way with 11.0 ppg. Senior guard Camille Downs adds a team-high 8.0 rpg. off the bench for the Spartans. As a team, they're picked to finish third in the MEAC this season. SERIES HISTORY First meeting NOTES Indiana moved up four spots to No. 4 in the Associated Press Top 25 on Monday, making history once again. It marks the first time in school history that the program has been ranked inside the top 5 in either national poll. It's coming off a 2-0 start to opening week where it defeated Butler on the road and No. 13 Kentucky. It marked the 10th straight season its won a season opener and 15th straight season its won its home opener. Junior forward Mackenzie Holmes earned her second career Big Ten Player of the Week honor as she went 64.0 percent from the field and averaged 20.0 points per game. She also shot 66.7 percent from the arc (2-for-3) and went a perfect 6-for-6 at the free throw line. She was named the last Big Ten Player of the Week in the 2020-21 season on March 7, 2021. Graduate student guard Nicole Cardaño-Hillary was also impressive in week one, averaging 20.5 points per game while shooting a combined 83.3 percent from the field and 76.9 from 3-point range in two games. She also added 6.0 assists and 6.0 rebounds per game in both of IU's wins. Indiana head coach Teri Moren secured her 150th career win in Cream and Crimson on Sunday evening. She's the program's second all-time winningest coach. A win on Tuesday would also give Moren, who is in her 19th season of collegiate head coaching, her 350th career victory. UP NEXT Indiana travels to Quinnipiac on Saturday afternoon. Tip time inside People's United Center is set for 4 p.m. ET.

She delivers!

We sweep player of the week honors. Mackenzie for the women and TJD for the men.

TJD named B1G Player of the Week

Moved up to #4 in the AP poll.

Season preview from the local newspaper. The Rams advanced to the Sweet 16 last seasons, after reaching the Elite Eight in 2020, and the good news for coach Charlemagne Gibbons is that essentially his whole team from last season returns this winter. “We’re looking to give ourselves a chance to be in the Final Four and win a state championship,” said Gibbons, now in his third season leading Newton. The team’s top three returners are junior guard Jakai Newton (11 points per game, 7 rebounds per game in 2021), who recently committed to Indiana, junior guard Stephon Castle (14 ppg,5 rpg), a highly decorated recruit, and junior guard/forward Marquavious Brown (10 ppg. 6rpg), another rising star who just committed to the Georgia Bulldogs. “They’ve been playing together since they were freshmen, and a couple of them have been starting since they were freshmen or have been in the rotation since the ninth grade,” said Gibbons. “This is a great opportunity for them to advance to the state finals.” Gibbons was adamant that Rams games are likely to resemble track meets this season. “It’s as fast as possible,” he said. “We’re going to trap you and try to play as fast as we can. It puts a premium on conditioning and depth, because we’ve got a lot of guys. I expect to play eight or nine guys every night. We’ve got a good crew of young guys, so this ain’t the end of the well for us.”

I try to follow women's recruiting which is so much more difficult than following the men and I've not see any evidence that we are. She's just a sophomore so still lots of time. To my knowledge Bradley is her only offer at this time.

Earlier today #25 Texas on the road knocked off #3 Stanford 61-56.

Ali with a 2-10 shooting night against Butler but she contributed 10 assists. Tonight she's 5-9 with another 5 assists.

Cardano-Hillary has been on fire from 3 point land the last 2 games. She was 7-8 against Butler and 3-4 tonight.
