Tournament play underway in Kentucky and Great Crossing annihilates Frankfort 106-22.  Moreno 14p;  11r; 4a;  3b.  No idea how many minutes he played but I can't imagine it was much more than half the game.

Moreno’s time as a somewhat under-valued  kid is about to come to a crashing end. And, yeah, I know he’s a top 30-ish kid now. No, he’s better than that. Hopefully, IU being in early is significant or the Barrel Rick stuff proves accurate because everyone’s gonna be in here.
