Mullins with 5 of our first 8. I wondered if he'd stay hot all game. He didn't. He had but one more 3 later in the half, and another with roughly 2 minutes left in the game. We were up 16-10 at 13:43 in the first half, but little more than a minute later, we were down 16-19. Mullins did get our...

Karaban shot well for the most part, but had two shockingly bad plays. The one you mentioned, where he was apparently attempting a pass to someone in the third row, and the other, on defense, completely turning his back on his man, leaving him wide open for a drive and dunk.

2:26 in, it's 10 zip, and Mullins has 8 of our 10 4:06 in, it's 14-2. Mullins & Reed account for all our scoring so far -- Mullins with 10, Reed with 4. Xavier's 2 is from FTs. We've not even looked for a three. Very odd after the last game's early 3 point barrage. I suspect that Hurley is using...

Creighton scores first, but consecutive 3s by Mullins and Solo put us up by 4. Seven buckets between the two teams. Six of them are three pointers. Four of those 3s are ours. The 3 pointers keep on coming. 25- 22 at the 7 minute mark. 18 of our 25 points have come on 3 pointers, as have 12 of...

But had we made ONE more FT, we'd have been over our average at 57%!

Our house was similar sized. 8 or 9 years ago, we had a series of heavy snowstorms and a couple ice/freezing rain storms. Paid $300 to have the snow and ice cleared. Six man crew was there about 2-1/2 hours. The outermost 4 feet or so on the side that faced the winter sun was the worst. 8~10" of...

The big snow was last weekend. Mid-morning yesterday, I encountered an SUV still completely covered with a foot or so of snow, except for about half the hood, and a maybe 1-1/2 foot square on the windshield directly in front of the driver. And it's supposed to snow tomorrow. Should miss us in...

Going in, I thought that if Solo's shot was on, we'd be in good shape. If not, Then it would be up to Demary and Reed, and they'd need to score at least 30 between them. As it turned out, they combined for 35. Sometimes, Reed's usage is a mystery to me. It feels like we often go to him early...

How the heck did I not remember that... I know I'm 80 years old, but damn... It was 2-1/2 weeks ago! Oh. I see now. It was before my 80th birthday, so it may be 2-1/2 weeks to the rest of the world, but too me, it was when I was a year younger. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking with it.😟

Down 8 just under 3 minutes in. This is NOT a good start. But, we're within 3 a minute later. 1st lead at 14:11 - 9 to 8 We're penetrating to the hole at will, but not completing. 10 minutes in, and we've missed 3 layups. Not sure what's hurting us more... our lousy defensive rebounding or our...

Smith had some really good outings prior to the Christmas break, especially in the dime column. But coach seems to have really limited hus minutes since the start of January.

That's actually the law in CT, too. But it's rarely enforced until it causes an accident. Connecticut law (CGS § 14-252a) requires drivers to clear all snow and ice from their vehicle's hood, roof, and trunk so it doesn't become a hazard, or risk a $75 fine.; if dislodged snow causes injury or...

I asked it ahead of the game what time it was scheduled for. It just made crap up.

I was very happy to get texts from my kids, all my grandkids and great-grandkids, all the way down to my great-great-granddaughter on my birthday this past weekend. In the "good old days" most of them (well, at least a couple) would have stopped by and brought this nasty cold/virus that's going...

That's the most sensible line in this entire thread. I remember when the Big East made sense. Omaha, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Chicago are not in the East.
