Council leads the conference in minutes played per game. The guy before DP came back was probably Elmarko who can get it done mostly but Melvin can play defense and wants to. Council has shot sub 40 every year and it looks like the floaters he uses when penetrating are still a bit awkward. I guess DP will run things more or less now and having Melvin as a wing is good because he can assist and was getting better and better at that all year. Now that we can average 80 I think he will be good in whatever role he is in. This roster goes eight deep plus I keep dreaming of Dawson getting comfortable and going off from three. DP, Flory and Tre, Melvin and Tiller are reliable on both ends and are scoring 69 points between them. Now that Elmarko, who can go off and Jamari who defends and hits 3 balls this teams is going to get tougher and tougher to beat. Of course worry wart me is nervous about NCSU and their tall deep shooters.

If DP was really hurt again he would have been back in the locker room I think. 31 minutes was a lot for him and we needed all of them. Even when hampered he is special.

My grand nephew with the Jets 9 carries 56 yds and a TD. Jets suck.

I think coach Hurley had a perplexed or stunned look on his face. UConn mostly looked just average. It's a fluke loss. Bricking lay ups even to the point of air balling is funny is retrospect. What I really want to see is this team keeping up the effort on defense. It's effective and I'm proud of them. This team has losses to NC, Duke and UConn and played them even 90% of the time. If Peterson is really good we could beat all of them.

Tre White made that work for Flory

Jamari thanking the Lord!!!

@approxinfinity Yes I am an earthling. At least until we develop warp drive.

@approxinfinity American workers have been the most efficient in the world for years. And the CEO and CFO will tell the truth that their only focus is to the stockholders. The US is addicted to low wages and always has been. When pay for performance and bonuses for management started in the early 70's and went viral in 1984 it's been pay and wealth disparity on steroids ever since. The efficiency has to improve YOY to keep the money flowing upward. It never stops. At one time it was legislated to avoid monopolies like Bell Telephone. In 1984 that all changed and it has evolved into three or four entities like JP Morgan Chase owning it all. It's the American Capitalist dream realized and it was inevitable. The media has been bought up into just a few companies like Sinclair, Disney and Murdock Media. All the big empires eventually start to decline and the US is no different. Just look how corrupt our national government and every state government is. You can't get elected without big money and you have sold your soul as the result. 1500 registered lobbyists per House and Senate member. We are being managed just like all of them. The fat dumb and happy American is not a complete lie. Enjoy your families love and warmth it's precious.

@drgnslayr White as a guard getting a lot of boards and not just this game shows a player who is not afraid to stick his nose in where the rough places are.

This team doesn't mess around and looks serious all the time. They don't seem uptight at all and play heads up defense. I watched Tiller all game and he was hustling and doesn't give ground in the paint. Elmarko is a wild card to an opposing defense he's sneaky fast and fearless. He's very athletic and I think his shots will start falling. Jamari is an asset as a 6th man. He can defend about anywhere and now his shot is swishy. Flory goes along doing his job and wham he can take over. Other centers find out he is no push over real quick and there is none who can keep up with his agility and quickness on the blocks and he can score on you at any time and go get lobs like crazy. Tiller and Flory both weren't ready for a couple of deep drives and quick passes from DP. It looked like DP got tired and it was to be expected. He is lightning quick and will burn you from deep, mid range and layups. Three of his lay ups where like how did he do that. Melvin you just keep on putting pressure on their guards. He is not just quick he is down right faster than ya'll. This could become a nightmare team on both ends and glory be Jayden Dawson our 6'5" 205' guard made a three which is his specialty and being a senior should be able to figure it out. We have a long rest before NCST and I'm not sure is a true home court for them in a Raleigh venue. If we can beat them then we have two kinda cup cakes and our first five conference games whether away or home are winnable until ISU in Ames. I hope we are rolling by then. It may be a dream but 15-3 warms me all over. If i'm that warm I will get sweet snuggles all night from my love.

I know we have Davidson yet but my brain wants to look at the Big XII conference. I mean KU is at this time the 5th best team and that's ahead of TTU. Right now Houston freaking Houston is the 4th best then BYU third and eat this for supper ISU is the second best team really? Well ask Purdue WTF. Oh yeah Arizona who's gonna beat your big bad a**? KU is touted as a final four team with Darryn healthy and we are still probably 5th. It is like wow what a slate of big games this week and wow look at next week and oh yeah look at next week. We will need every last player on our bench to be our savior in this grist mill.

Reports are that Darryn's family want him to be near 100% and so do we. If he is not damaging his leg then I want him on the court just like the rest his forum family does. Come on Darryn get well please and Merry Christmas and Happy new year. We have a wrapped present under the tree for us and we already have opened the one with this lovable team inside I didn't have a box big enough for Mbiya but put a bow on him. Samis our Brazilian freshman continues to catch my eye. He is always looking forward to getting an assist but has thrown to Kohl who let it bounce off his chest like third baseman Home Run Baker who let line drives bounce off his chest before fielding the ball and Tall Paul watched one go by but he had to have felt the breeze also Jayden is willing to share the ball. It shows they are playing to help the team.

@wissox83
SVI getting a lot of play as the point. Sees the floor pretty well and his stroke is still sweet to watch. Utah in a down spiral.

We will defend but can we score? Hurley's team will play tough and maybe a little over the line. Tre may get a little offended by that. Don't foul out Tre as we will need all of your 16 points. KU 74 Uconn 71.

@wissox83 Isaiah Davis #32. Thanks for asking.

Dawson with block outs and dimes.

The Elmarko layup was pure skill.

@approxinfinity True but I have ants in my pants and I need to dance.

@bskeet I can't seem to get disheartened will this group for the same reasons you have listed here. Good reasoning.

Eff yowl!! We laid 80 on them and they came in scoring 86 and they pooped out 60.
