You maybe oughta re-think your thoughts on Smith.  35 min. tonight 13p (6-8FG); 4r; 6a; 5s; 2t.  Loyer on the other hand was 0-6 FG; 1r; 1a; 3t.  Morton's only contribution was 2 fouls in 12 min.

I would take Smith in a heartbeat.  Loyer wilts, IMO.

Bradley wins a crazy one against Tulane.  Bradley missed 2 FTs while up 3 and Tulane missed a couple opportunities.  Great game.    The MVC is going to be fun to follow all year

UCLA was up 1 and Marquette drains a 3 to go up 2.  UCLA ball with 21 sec to go

I’m here, just shell shocked from the bloodbath I’m taking on FanDuel today

2 elite 8 or even Final 4 caliber games today.    Purdue/Tennessee and Marquette/Kansas lead another great day of hoops

Career 42%. Yeah, he gets to do that.

Not gonna lie, I'm gonna be so irritated if Purdue wins the Maui Invitational and spends the whole freakin' year in the top 5.

Can't shake the feeling their regular season will mirror last year.

But hey, if that also means we'll sweep them before they get upset by a 16 seed then I'll take that all day.

Tennessee game today will be a banger. Who on that roster has a prayer against Knecht?

It's November so Purdoo might win.  They certainly can't in March

Even if they don't win it, they'll probably still spend the whole year in the top 5, since they never drop more than 1 or 2 spots after a loss.

Their new transfer Jones or whatever his name is.  He's very athletic and quick.

Giving up 5 or 6 inches though and Dalton is just as athletic.    Morton is not athletic enough but he matches his size.   Heide has the size and athleticism but not the experience.  Definitely going to be interesting to see the matchup
