    Yeah...I knew his parentage. Seems like a budding star.

    Jaden lived with his Mom and went to one of the local Catholic HS in South Bend, Marian for 3 years and then transferred to one of those basketball schools. More than a few ND basketball fans wondered why he ended up at Purdue instead of ND. Looks like it's going to turn out to be a good choice by him.

    Yeah it happens...Purdue wondered why Brian Griese went to Michigan...and we wondered why Gary Harris (son of Purdue Women's BBall star Joy Holmes Harris) went to MSU. I think sometimes it's too big a burden going to the school your parent is associated with. Joy Holmes was also from my home town.

    Florida has been struggling all season. Then with three starters from the start of the season out beat 6th ranked Tennessee. Go figure.

    Nice win for Indiana over Iowa this evening. Anything seems to be able to happen in the Big Ten this season. A lot of good teams and anyone can win in any given game.

    Some major upsets already this afternoon, Oklahoma defeats Kansas, Oklahoma State is leading Baylor at the half and Maryland is ahead of Minnesota as well at half-time. Buckeyes will face Wisky in Madison at Four O'clock.

    I wish we would have the common sense to slow things down and eat up the clock at the time is running out?

    Teams have done that and it backfired. I didn't watch the game, but I trust your coach.

    You are correct Sid, but my old ticker is being challenged at times this season.;)

    State of Michigan shuts down the UM program for two weeks after a UM athlete who traveled to England contracted the new variant of Covid 19 and apparently infected others in the program.

    Bad news Bobda, who knows what is next? Tough for athletes who have to have to continually keep adapting as well.:(

    Shaka Smart has tested positive and will have to isolate for 14 days, the Longhorns were tested Monday and the game with OU today is in doubt.

    Longhorns lose a close one to OU last night. No Shaka Smart and 2 starters also unavailable along with one of our top contributors off the bench. Officials were very active last night as well fouling out 2 Longhorns.

    That was a nip and tuck game last night Terry. Kentucky looked like they might beat Alabama but fell apart in the final minuits.

    Just not a good year for Kentucky. I imagine Calapari has enough capital built up to survive but given the expectations he'd better bounce back next year.

    Buckeyes survived a real scare from Penn State here in Columbus this evening. The Nits gave us all we could handle, but alas a win in the closing minutes of the game.
