5-0 run bad guys after the questionable DR shot. DR doesn't seem to be doing anything today.

MR with the great steal, hoop and harm. Bills up 16.

Bills up 10 at the under 16. Ash being featured in the second half with post-ups and he's doing OK.

French fries got too warm. Is that why the fire alarm went off?

37-32 at the half. Got to get better. Will we ever be a good FT shooting team?

MY misses 2 FTs and we're up 5 w/ one possession left for Hartford.

Tied at 28. MB hits 2 and we're up 2.

On the other hand, I fear a loss today.

What was Reynolds doing there with the out of control drive? Where's Davell?

26-20 good guys.

Crawford for three, bang he got it!

Pancake eating us for breakfast.

Pancake is flattening our defense.

Aside from missing layups, missing threes, and turning it over, not much.

Rhody's E.C. Matthews out for the year with a knee injury. BC soars over St. Francis NY, 75-49.

Hartford gets the double OT road win over Central Connecticut State. I have no idea if CCSU is any good or not, but I'd guess not. Indiana State loses at home to IUPUI, 72-70. Seems like a bad loss. Methdale nips Air Force at home by two. Air Force is usually pretty weak. Alabama A&M upsets Tulane. What are we doing scheduling Alabama A&M? Could be upset city when the Bulldogs come to town.

I'm looking for a 75-50 type score. Hartford is slightly worse than UMSL. Bowie wiped out a 21 point halftime deficit and pounded the Hawks on the glass.

Dang right, he'll be a beast before he's through. I'm president and ceo of the Elliott Welmer fan club. He's got way more upside potential than people thought when he committed. I think he's going to surprise people with his game. Too bad we have to wait a year to see if it happens.

Nice coincidence. I based it partly on mins. played in the Bahamas, the exhibition game, and a guess at what each player's potential is to progress throughout the year. Would've been more complicated if "The Beast" wasn't sitting out the year with his unfortunate foot injury.

Now that the real games are just a few days away, thought I'd take a guess at the distribution of minutes for the 11 players who have a chance to be in the rotation. This assumes no missed games d/t injuries or other reasons a player could miss a game. I think Crews is going to use a 10 or 11 man rotation again as there just isn't much difference in the talent level of players at similar positions. Rather than worrying about players not having enough time to get into the flow of the game, I'm saying that the emphasis will be on keeping players fresh, hoping to wear down teams who have shorter rotations. Granted, that didn't work last year but at least it's a reasonable theory. So I've got it this way: AY - 25(I'm going with 8mpg at the two and 17mpg at the 3) DR - 24 MB - 22 MR -14 JB - 12 MY - 26 MC - 23 RA - 14 MN - 20 AG - 15 BJ - 5 (more for filling in when bigs get in foul trouble than anything) Thoughts?

Correcton, UMSL is D-2, not D-3. They play in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, one of the strongest D2 conferences in the country. Not that we shouldn't have handled them with ease.

The Wiz is good, no doubt about it. Still, last year's results began to mirror Sagarin's so closely, I just figure he actually is Jeff Sagarin. Anyone ever seen The Wiz and Sagarin at the same place and same time? Didn't think so.

Davell gets a deuce at the buzzer and we win 71-44. Very solid first 15 minutes of the second half.
