But it also frees up a teammate when an opponent moves to double the post. The post man has to capitalize on that when possible.

No Solo? Damn. Coming off the best game of his career, too. Yo, Jaylin... Don't pass it to the other team. Okay? 8 minutes in, this has been painful to watch. Both teams look like they partied all afternoon or something. Just under the 11 minute mark, we've got 7 points and are down by 8. This...

Demary. Upchucked a throatful as he went running for the tunnel.

Who does this? Not me. Certainly not me. I write my W's marginally better, as well as highlighting the start of league play.

Our play the first few minutes of the game was horrific., and it wasn't until about four & a half minutes in that we saw some signs that we might just be starting to right the ship. And by the 13:20 mark, we had tied the game. For much of the rest of the first half, we weren't on our A game, or...

For some reason, every time I hear a play by play guy say Riebe, I hear it as Brimah. We get our first fleeting lead (6-5) at 17:26 and lose it at 17:20. We go up three at 16:50, and unless I missed something, we never trailed again. The Mullin show is on! 1st double digit lead 7 and a half...

I've noticed that over the past 6~8 months, my energy level and ability to stay awake late have both declined. (Might have something to do with my approaching 80th birthday.) Doctor says worrying about it isn't going to help, so I should just adjust my activity level and timing. I liked it...

9:30 Start? Really? Old folks object. At least this old folk anyway. Tarris 2 buckets in a row to start. Looks like he's healthy. And 6 of our first 9 points? I think Mr. Reed came to play. Refs are killing us. 8 minutes in, we've been called for 5. And, another minute, another foul. Alex...

Ah, but Mullins is a whole different animal. The less time he takes between receiving the ball and putting it up, the higher his percentage. Alex is usually pretty good with the quick shot off a catch too. Not as quick as Mullins, but pretty damned quick. But when it's a 3 pt attempt off the...

The Lions stayed close early with some surprisingly good shooting from three. Early on, Reibe couldn't seem to get the ball in the hole from 2 feet. Might've been because he was getting hacked, pushed and grabbed every time he got the ball inside. But after three early misses from close, he...

I was pretty psyched for this game. The venue certainly helped. Never won there, giant crowd, etc. History-- They'd beaten us all 4 times we'd played prior to last nght. They were 4 time National champions -- wait... in 52, 88, 08 and 22? Wow. 4 times over a 70 year span? And that's their rich...

THAT was fun! Nerve wracking at times, but fun, nonetheless. Not sure I can get through a season with two freshmen being such integral and important pieces,. Especially at my age with my heart.

My wife walked through the living room while the game was on and remarked that the painting in the lane made her feel like she had to vomit. I explained that it was was a whimsical interpretation of a basketball net. She said it looked more like something an 8 year old would paint after being...

Happy to see Tarris on the floor to start. Demary was a TO machine early. And as soon as I made note of that observation, he scored on 2 consecutive possessions. Ball on fire early. Tarris' 1st fg attempt at just under 7 minutes left in the half. Misses. Gets to the line. 1 of 2 11 point...

And this is my 2nd favorite...
