Purdue also is just miles better than that Creighton team and Illinois was missing their other primary ballhander(and another bucket getter) Boswell, putting more responsibility on Wagler.

Diarra played 8 minutes in the Creighton game off the bench. UConn started Ball, Stewart, Liam, Karaban and Samson that game. Reed (15) and Mahaney (17) got most of the minutes off the bench.
 
It's not the 40 point outings. But Nate Anebt had 29 points on 50% shooting in a win @ Bama.

He's been coming along in the last few games.

I watched the 2nd half of that game last night. He definitely looks like a pro. Took him longer than the other uber freshmen to get acclimated to college, and he definitely needs to add strength, but he'll be a force the rest of the season.

He's the biggest potential guy of the class. Him and Tennesse were a good fit as a place he can go and get shots up without worry and get paid what he wants.

I wonder where he’ll ultimately end up come time for the lottery.

His stock has dropped considerably while kids like Fleming and Wagler have skyrocketed. Maybe a late season surge brings him back up to lottery, would guess his ceiling at this point is latter half of lottery.
 
I covered the Niagara at Sacred Heart game last afternoon.

What a finish! Sacred Heart ended the game on a 3.5 minute 14-0 run with a game-tying and-one w/ two seconds to go that brought Anquan Hill to the line, who sunk the winning foul shot.

I wasn’t in the locker room after the game, but the vibe in the coach’s offices/player lounge was a huge party.

After injury woes were a big cause for a slow start, Sacred Heart has now won four straight.

don't really think it was the best fit because Barnes still plays 2 bigs regularly and the spacing has been pretty bad for the most part

They have a couple players registering high in individual stats. That campus has blossomed!

He is a baller. I am glad I got to see him in person against UConn at TD Garden. His fadeaway when he dribbles into the lane is really unblockable and unalterable (if that is a word) at this high level of college basketball. I only watched the last 8 minutes of that game against Utah and saw him making 3s (he went 4-5 from 3). If he is making 3s he cannot be guarded. When he had that dribble on 2 steps to the basket dunk where it looked like his forearm was going through the hoop it reminded me of a player being on fire in the 1990s video game NBA Jam.

Of all the frosh, his game is the most dynamic and NBA. His footwork is amazing, eurostep.

Boozer is great, but he's more of a workhorse who gets a lot of bully baskets near the rim. I doubt that translates. DP is so smooth, but he doesn't have the rim attack game like AJD. Wilson is more of a dunker than an all around player.

This freshman class is ridiculous. It was good to start, then you start adding studs like Wagler & Flemming to the mix.

Just wrapped up my post-game and midseason review of Sacred Heart, with a handful of quotes from HC Anthony Latina:

bcu managed to snatch another defeat from ND. It's so bad over at bc interruption they barely even discuss basketball anymore. The ACC really deserves to be relegated given how badly they've handled CR

Providence just needs to improve their offense a smidge (currently 27th, 1 AdjPt/100 from being 21st), then work on cleaning up their defense and they have as good a chance as those teams for being crowned National Champs this year!

You have to imagine that one of those "Bubble Out" teams in the BE will make it in.

So Providence doesn't even have as good of a chance as anyone?

I guess in this case Providence may not have as good a chance as anyone.

I also believe that some on this board may not realize those outside of the BE may not hold some of the conference members' accomplishments in as high a regard as some on the inside do.
 
Zona -2.5 at BYU tomorrow. Would love a cougar win for a few reasons:
1) we could be ranked #1 the following week
2) a BYU win good for our metrics
3) increases our odds of #1 overall seed
4) ruffruff might jump on yet another bandwagon
