Pre-game.  No mention specifically of Currie Jelks, but T.Moren said everyone healthy and ready to go.

Nice to see the bench finally scoring some points. 

 

Weird stat: Holmes with 7 points on no field goal attempts.

Despite the fact we lead 85-47 after 3Qs, our defense in the quarter had a bit of a letdown as Evansville scored 19 pts. hitting 7-13 FG and 3-6 on 3s.

Yarden, Mack and Sara all in double figures and we continue to shoot over 60% FG.  Yarden has 23 pts and has missed just a single FG and is 9-10 FG and 3-3 FT.

Friday night at 6:00 we host Bowling Green (6-2) in a game to be televised on BTN.  Tomorrow night Bowling Green hosts #1 South Carolina.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,890]

The 34 points we scored in the 3rd Q tied our record for 3rd Q pts.

Yarden a career high 26 28 pts. and a career high 10 11 made field goals.

Make that 30 pts. and 12 made field goals.

Hope we didn't offend the pollsters. Last time we hit the century mark, we dropped 3 spots.
