I'm crankier than Stu because I haven't had my afternoon nap. Noah wants his thread back and he's going to get it. I'm moving several NIL posts from Noah's thread to the NIL thread but any new NIL posts in Noah's thread will get hidden.

Today's focus on Trey Galloway. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/bahamas-rewind-observations-on-trey-galloways-play-during-iu-basketballs-foreign-tour/

Another pre-game story. https://www.idsnews.com/article/2021/08/iu-womens-soccer-aims-to-stay-undefeated-ahead-of-clash-with-ut-martin-thursday

Brazil picked up its first win of the event with a 73-31 win over Costa Rica. Guyton played 26 min. and scored 18 pts. on 5-8 FG; 4-5 on 3s; 4-5 FT. She had 7 reb; 4 asst; 1 TO; 2 stls. She was the leading scorer for Brazil and you can bet there's one proud papa walking around tonight. Tomorrow is an off day and games resume on Friday with Brazil's opponent to be determined.

UT Martin preview. Apparently there will be no live stats available. https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2021/8/25/womens-soccer-hoosiers-set-to-host-ut-martin-thursday-travel-to-memphis-sunday.aspx?fbclid=IwAR3bQmQnRJpLC1XWkMmRtmU4QGRCb2r-vPVyYQVQ0f10F_qtaNkxIiKfVks

I failed to point out that in today's game against Chile he did not have any turnovers in 15 min. of play nor did he have any in the game against Dominican Republic in 11 min. of game time. Sounds like he got rid of any jitters against Puerto Rico.

Another romp for the USA pounding Chile 138-59 and setting another point record for the USA team. Fears played 15 min. and scored 8 pts. on 4-6 FG; 0-1 on 3s. He had 2 reb; 6 asst; 2 stl. Next game is on Friday with the opponent and time to be determined.

Schedule update. Tomorrow's match against UT Martin has been pushed back to an 8:00 start due to concerns about the heat.

Richards should have been cast in the lead role for The Walking Dead.

Done deal. Now has its own thread.

Another massive beat down by the USA team downing the Dominican Republic 133-74. This is a new point record for the USA, the previous being 130 points scored in a 2013 game against Mexico. Fears played 11 min. and scored 8 pts. on 3-4 FG; 1-1 on 3s; 1-3 FT. He had 3 reb; 2 asst; 0 TO; 2 stls. Wednesday they face Chile at 12:30 ET with the game streamed on the FIBA YouTube channel.
