Saw two Duke assistants at the Madison game. Former All American Nolan Smith was one of them.

Par for the course for top 25 kids or top 50 kids it seems.

Heck even as far back as CWebb and others. How UK doesn't get caught. Amazing.

It's no coincidence John Wooden got those stacked teams at UCLA. Era has changed but some things don't. Most just realize that is what you have to do to compete.

SEC cash cow, so NCAA be like

Romeo was expected to be at the Duke/L'Ville game today, according to Twitter. Likely watching one of the two teams he'll play for. Louisville is looking awesome. They are near impossible for any team to beat when they are hitting threes like they are today.

New Albany defeated Evansville North 93-41 in a game that got a little chippy in the later stages.  Langford scored 38 pts. hitting 16 of 19 FT's and his coach was quoted as saying he should have been to the line at least 30 times because of the physical play.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,519]

New Albany defeats Jasper 72-31.  Langford with 26 pts.  He had 25 at the end of the 3rd and only played a very short time in the 4th as New Albany was ahead by 33 pts. at the end of the 3rd Q.

Can confirm @newstribscores report that New Albany's Romeo Langford will miss 2 weeks w/ dislocated pinky finger. Will be reevaluated then.

Really bad timing for the New Albany team as they have four games in the next 2 weeks. Then three more regular season games before start of sectional play.

 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,519]

New Albany didn't miss Langford too much in his first game out with his injury.  New Albany used a 56-32 second-half edge to bury Hoosier Hills Conference opponent Jennings County. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,519]

Major upset as New Albany without Langford is beaten by Columbus East 52-46.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 83,519]

Langford returned to action after missing a couple of games with a dislocated finger.  New Albany defeated Providence 55-40.  Langford with 14 pts.; 10 reb; 5 assists and 3 blks so I think he's probably OK. 

Reports were Roy Williams was watching.

Post-game comment from Langford:  "I'm going to have to get used to playing with this wrap for about the next three weeks," said Langford, who came into the contest averaging 28 points per game and is a consensus top-5 player in the class of 2018. "With this wrap on, it's like playing with three fingers on my right hand, it makes it kind of hard."

Did Roy tell him how important it was to stay in school and attend all his classes?

 

(I know I should keep this out of a recruit thread but I just couldn't pass it up. Sorry 66 emoji4].)

I told my son he should immediately go take a shower because that man is dirty.

In all honesty though, Roy was actually very nice and approachable. Unlike Slick Rick.
