1. No Solo? Damn. Coming off the best game of his career, too.
2. Yo, Jaylin... Don't pass it to the other team. Okay?
3. 8 minutes in, this has been painful to watch. Both teams look like they partied all afternoon or something.
4. Just under the 11 minute mark, we've got 7 points and are down by 8. This is not looking good.
5. And at 8:34, we take a lead! It was a very short lived lead, but at least we seem to be finding our rhythm.
6. Game tied at 5:54.
7. Foul call on Demary at 4;44 Had to be a make up call, cause he only made contact with the ball.
8. UConn by 3 at the half. Ain't much of a lead, but as poorly was we played for most of that half, it's just good to see us in the lead at half-time.
9. Mullin loses the ball on the 1st possession of 2nd half.
10. Demary mystery ailment. Upchucks as he's running off the court and toward the tunnel.
11. 7 point lead a little more than minute into the half.
12. Two plays in a row, we passed to Reed too far from the hoop late in the shot clock.
13. 10 point margin at 14:28. I don't know about Silas, but I'm sure starting to feel better.
14. Mullins finally scores to push the lead to 16 at 10:45.
15. As we get down to the five minute range, it seems like they are calling fouls -- at least some of them pretty darned questionable -- on every DePaul possession.
16. 18 point win. As poorly as we played early on, I'll take that in a heartbeat.
17. I gave momentary POG consideration to Demary and to Reed, but Alex takes my vote by a considerable margin.
18. We led the battle of the boards 40 to 28, and all but 7 of our 40 rebounds were collected by the starting 5, led by Reed's 11.
19. And, we had 15 dimes to Depaul's 7.
