I was worried early in the second half about the amount of energy Silas was exerting on every inbound play. It wore him out causing him to miss free throws. He left everything on the floor.

Final score was a palindrome. So there's that.

The free throw problem is a little deceptive. It is only a problem when the wrong player shoots them. If Ball, Caravan, Mullins or Demery are shooting , we are fine. If Reed or Smith is on the line.....

My concern was his needing assistance walking off. I've had a few concussions myself and even though I didn't remember anything, I stillhad my balance. He will probably be out multiple games.

I hate that the younger generations prefer texting over voice. I prefer to talk to people. It's almost as if they want use the texts as a buffer in case the conversation gets confrontational. I believe this is why the younger generation has no conflict resolution skills.

The down Big East hurts our SOS. Ken Pom SOS includes the entire schedule. Even games not yet played. I found this out by looking into why our SOS was not higher after the OOC games.

16-26 from the line. But 8 of those 10 misses were from Tarris. We need other teams to foul people other than him.

Never been a fan of plus minus in basketball. Too many moving pieces. Who is on the floor with you? Who the other team has on the floor? A lot of times the top +/- player is a reserve because the other team has a bigger drop off from their starter. If the reserve has a better plus minus...

Just an FYI on the assists. The NCAA started recording assists permanently in the 83-84 season (they recorded them for a season in the 50s also). So it is possible someone had more than 16. Like the sack record in football, people claim Deacon Jones had the most but they were not recorded in...

Probably the most painful way for PC to lose. Give them hope all game, then snatch it from them.

Marcus Williams twice with 16

I have known this but have kept quiet. Evers went home for Thanksgiving and never came back. The coaches had to reach out to him to find out what was going on.

I am wondering if Bell had some sort of clause in his NIL contract where he got more for playing in a bowl game. These days you never know.

I have known Conor through my kids long before he did any of this. He is a good kid.

I am waiting for the first series to find out who's playing. I question anything I read online these days.
