My Beloved 95 Bloggees (Welcome Bruce):
Florida decommit Austin Rivers had 15 points, 3 steals and no turnovers on Saturday to lead Duke to a 96 - 55 victory over the Blue Hose of Presbyterian College from the Big South Conference http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/boxscore?gid=201111120173 . "Doc Jr." was 5 for 8 from the field contributing to the Blue Devils whopping 61 % shooting percentage.
For you Birmingham bloggees, Presbyterian's big William Truss from last year's State Final Four participant, Vestavia Hills High School, had 4 points in 8 minutes. Surprisingly his 257 pound frame did not fetch any rebounds. NEXT
Butler, who defeated the Gators in the Elite Eight last year, is off to a miserable start. After losing in an exhibition game to Northern State, it dropped its opening game in overtime at Evansville 80 - 77 http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/boxscore?gid=201111120193 . Gator killer Khyle Marshall only had 6 points and 2 offensive rebounds. He should have imagined that the Purple Aces were wearing Orange and Blue so that he could possibly duplicate the key numbers he had against Florida, 10 points and 7 offensive rebounds.
Butler is certainly looking forward to next year when the Arkansas transfer sharpshooter, Rotnei Clarke, will be eligible for the Bulldogs. NEXT
Wisconsin demolished Kennesaw State from the Atlantic Sun Conference 85 - 31on Saturday http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/boxscore?gid=201111120657 . At halftime it was 41 - 8......for the game the Badgers outrebounded the Owls, 40 - 17 and outshot them, 59 % to 23 %. The number one-ranked point guard, Jordan Taylor, http://collegebasketball.rivals.com/viewcbse.asp only had 11 points but distributed 7 assists for 15th ranked Wisconsin.
The first year coach for Kennesaw State is former Gator assistant Lewis Preston. Here are his frustrating words after the game: "When I go back and look at this film, if I don’t kick the TV in, I’m going to go back and look at the number of open shots. We probably missed five or six layups; we missed some easy shots in the sweet spot.” Take it easy, Coach. NEXT
On Sunday, Middle Tennessee State from the Sun Belt Conference defeated host Loyola Marymount 58 - 51 http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/boxscore?gid=201111130317 . What made this victory so meaningful for the Blue Raiders was Loyola Marymount's upset of then 17th ranked UCLA on Friday night. Middle Tennessee State gets a crack at UCLA themselves on Tuesday.
If you have DISH Network, on Tuesday night you can tune into Channel 411 Fox Sports Prime Ticket at 10:00 Central to watch that intersectional matchup. You may see a "not-so tall" guy wearing a suit on the Middle Tennessee State bench, prompting the question "Hey, Who is That Assistant Coach". It will be former Gator assistant Monte Towe, who recently was an assistant to Sidney Lowe at his alma mater, North Carolina State. NEXT
In a Sunday shocker, Cleveland State upset 7th ranked Vanderbilt 71 - 58 in Music City USA http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/recap?gid=201111130615 . Does Mouse McFadden have any eligibilty left? (He was the star in 1986 who led Cleveland State to the Sweet Sixteen http://clevelandsportshall.com/mcfadden-ken-mouse/ ).
No, Mouse didn't play, but D’Aundray Brown did. The 6' 4 senior guard had 18 points, 7 of his team's 15 steals and 8 rebounds for a good day's work. John Jenkins was not sharp for the 'Dores, shooting 5 for 14 and just 2 for 8 from long range on his way to 17 points. Jeffrey Taylor also had a disappointing performance with 6 turnovers and just 9 points. NEXT
In Friday night's annual "Blogger Barry's IQ is not allowed near the building" rivalry game, Harvard defeated MIT 76 - 49 http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/news?slug=ap-201111110245.had.recap. The Crimson of Harvard are Ivy League Champs coached by former Duke great Tommy Amaker who already has a history of big-time upsets while at the school. THAT'S IT
Enjoy....speaking of Ivy League, I feel bad for bloggee Barbara who went to Princeton, NJ and saw her alma mater lose to Wagner 73 - 57....looks like 28 Princeton turnovers were too tough to overcome.....on Wednesday her Tigers travel to Raleigh against Mark Gottfried's 2 - 0 NC State Wolfpack.....Barbara, I am pulling for Princeton,
Barry
