Tre White 17 pts, 15 rebounds, a fat lip and bloody nose. You are a bad ass son thank you.

Bill said I'm tightening up this 7 man rotation. So Elmarko and Mari do this: 16pts 8 dimes and 4 steals and Mari hit two huge shots to get the game back in our court.

Thank you for all your hard work. Now that our team has shown us their hearts our top five defense will hold teams below their average and our offense has averaged 80 in our mini win streak. If a team like St Johns can play with ISU so can we. I'm saying all this sans Darryn who is just stunning I mean come on man. Get cheap with Tre, Flory, Melvin (see the end of the MU game), and you will get it back plus some and any one of these guys have and can take over a game. I saw Tiller get rugged himself he doesn't like you trying to push him around and he is scary athletic and talented. He is going to go so off watch for the bomb. Self has told him to keep shooting the corner three he is not scared of anyone. Jamari who ends up guarding a big in the paint when we play small and gets just slung around and he gets up and sprints to his place. He is a surprise on both ends but after thirteen games it not a surprise anymore. Kohl lives in Kohland and doesn't give a darn who he runs into. He just keeps on going for it on the lobs (really dude?) and has no filter when he is open. I'd throw Samis onto those tall forwards when needed. He is about to bubble open. He will be good and needs to be this year and not next year.

Carr and Yesoufoo are about as good a pair of guards as we've seen this year. Tiller was very good in the first 15 of the game. Giving Baylor credit for taking the 1 point lead in the first. Tre took good shots and no air balls they just didn't fall. Baylor matched up pretty well with us. Our big guys with 8 blocks and the team with only 4 turnovers and 8 steals.

We probably don't win if DP sat

@wissox83

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.

A boot camp nickname from being the tallest in Platoon 2015 circa 1969. My government service nickname was Kool.

Flory shut down Dybansta and he struggled to get inside. We can be disappointed in DP but we saw a 50 point type of scorer in action. Tre White played his usual hard game but his four quick turnovers at the start of the second half changed the tone. BYU is a top ten type team but couldn't handle our defense.

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!!!

@ROCKCHALK2025

I agree about our guys playing a really good game which on this board people were waiting to see. We made threes and handled ISU's intense pressure on the ball. We seemed to display a mind set that everyone understood their mission. The ball moved quicker and brisk like and DP and even more so Melvin probed and probed to find a crack in ISU's defense and went to the rack aggressively and don't leave out Elmarko who looked to get inside all game. I think Bryson only played 8 minutes in the first half. ISU went big most of the game and Tre would play physical on them down low. We achieved what until three games ago was the norm by holding ISU to probably their season low in shooting percentages and scoring. They went big looking for an advantage on the boards and got it resulting in second and third and fourth chances during a possession. We kept Lipsey from stealing overall and he is so good at finding a seam and finishing. We have four high level ball handlers in Mari, DP, TW, MC and EJ. A shout out to Mari he showed us his side warrior side again. Melvin beating his chest? Tre drawing a three point foul and looking at the bench tapping his inner brain. He was pissed when he missed the first FT and I said he ain't missing these last two. Elmarko swished two from the line so pretty. I wish we knew what went on in the players only secret meeting. I saw a team attack every play and it was impressive. We can win our next three and be 15/5 and 5/2. DP is still not hitting on all cylinders but keeps posting numbers on both ends. Bill has let them loose finally and now has the talent to compete.

We got a Bidunga and you don't.

Saunders making all those threes was a fluke even though he is a stud. He missed the big one, Melvin hit a big one, Tiller with a great block and great game. Big Big win as TTU goes down. I got my wish for an improbable 5th win in a row.

@tundrahok Last week Arizona led BYU by 19 in the second half and by 11 with 63 seconds left and BYU had the ball under their basket with 15 seconds left and missed the winning shot. They came back against the #1 team in the country better than they did against us. Maybe they are just resilient and really good also. I'm not upset about their big second half. We were a mid 70's scoring team without DP and we scored at our average in the second half. Kudos to Jamari for his play all game. Eight points, three boards, two assists and zero turnovers.

White almost effed that. But now we are 17-5 and 7-2

@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.
