LOL.

Wasn't last week.

5 bucks and my left nut says we come up and run a gut run.

Undisciplined.

Yeah, that was kind of the line on him. Offensively high ceiling, can't play defense.

He was only 1 of 6 from three prior to this game with the only made three being against a D2 team. 13 of 21 overall, though.

UNC Greensboro up 5 with 0:47 left.

Really hope Queen is watching Maryland tonight. Sure, IU hasn't played well so far, but Maryland has 19 points in the first 29 minutes tonight. BTW, Jordan Geronimo 0-6 from the field including 0-3 from three tonight.

Of note -- Murray State women only lost 82-79 at Arkansas earlier and Arkansas was 24-13 last year and advanced pretty far in the WNIT.

Free basketball, goes to OT. Might have ate their whistle as Providence put the last shot up, but also thought the Providence player got away with a travel as well.

Notre Dame up 10 midway through the second half against Oklahoma State.

I will say the one thing I can't stand from an announcer is to call a game as if the team that is ahead is doing everything right and the team behind is completely lost. Always funny when they have to switch sides on that take when the lead changes.

Sparks and Banks have been very bad from the line -- haven't even looked like their strokes are good. Sparks was a decent free throw shooter up until last year -- hit 71% of his free throws on over 200 attempts as a freshman. Last year he fell all the way to 52%. In high school he shot 71% from the line in 84 games, so obviously something has changed in the last 1+ seasons.

If he was hurt, then I would think there was some major mismanagement of his time. He literally played 2 minutes just two nights ago and that was at the end of the game where they were looking for some late offense. He played 33 minutes last night.

I wonder why we never play zone. Honestly, with the switching problems we have on man, I don't know that it would guard the perimeter worse and it allow Ware to room the lane against penetration. Would also allow us to take advantage of our length. I'd rather have MM guarding an area than a man.

That said, until this year he hasn't lit it up. Missouri is his third stop. I highly suspect if he went to IU he wouldn't have played much right away and would have transferred.

Huge bucket there by Sean East for Missouri -- former New Albany player and high school team mate of Romeo Langford. Averaging 18 ppg for Mizzou. Two missed shots by Minnesota. Missouri wins.

Missouri basket and an and one opportunity with 10 seconds left. Missouri up 1.

Teams exchange wild missed threes. Missouri ball, 16.6 seconds left, Minnesota up 1.

Minnesota up 1, 1:06. MIssouri missed three. Review for possession but it will be Mizzou's ball.

Tied, 1:25 left. Minnesota to the line

UConn 83, Indiana 69

Minnesota up 17 in the second half against Missouri? Go home, Missouri, you're drunk.

I have no idea why he hasn't been playing for Wright State. Last year he played in 33 games, started 5, and played a significant role -- 17 min/game, 6.7 points/game, and shot extremely well: 52% overall, 48% from three, 85% from the line. Effective field goal percentage of 62%. The worst defensive players in D1 should still get on the court if they shot that well. But he had only gotten in Colorado State for blowout minutes and I think was only put in at the very end of the Toledo game when they were looking for some offense. The funny thing that he still didn't start tonight with Calvin out. If Calvin plays, Welage probably wouldn't have seen the court much tonight.

Although Mgbako didn't hit from deep tonight, we got him shots. Keep feeding him because if there is a guy that could go off from three, it's him. Probably just need him to get off of his head, but not feeding him when he's open would keep him in his head even worse. MM had a bad first half defensively but I thought the second half was the best defense he's played this year. Walker needs to not shoot another three this year. Ware has been better than I thought he would be. X had a rough game. Did think he had made a couple of plays defensively but got called for fouls that weren't there. Don't know the extent of the injury but hopes it's not too bad. Glad to see him walk off but he definitely looked like he was in pain on the bench.
