Game 3
 
France 73 - Latvia 63
Yvan Ouedraogo's line:
22.5 minutes 11 points 5-6 from field - 1/4 from FT 5 rebounds (2 offensive) 4 fouls 2 assist, 4 steals, 3 turnovers In game time
Q1: 4:20 to Q2: 5:08
Q3: 10:00 to 2:48
Q4: 6:07 to end

He's currently playing in a close one with 3 minutes to go.
His shot is falling today as he's put up 8 on 4-5 shooting
 
 

FWIW
 
 

Word on the street he is in street clothes while the rest of the team practices. Anyone know why?

Derrick will probably play quite a bit since Yvan won't be and we are so thin down low.

We begin practice for our summer workouts on Saturday. With the trip to Italy we get 10 extra practices. Hopefully with the excitement of the new hire, the team will get some extra coverage over the summer. I thought we could make a thread to keep all the coverage and discussion of the team leading up to and during the trip all in one place.
 
We know that Yvan Ouedraogo wont be with the team during the trip. I believe Derrick Walker and Dalano Banton will not play during the trip even if they are eligible. It makes no sense for them to play since they arent eligible for this upcoming season anyway.
 
That leaves us with 10 scholarship players (Cheatham, Kavas, Burke, Green, Thorbjarnarson, Mack, Stevenson, Arop, Cross, and Curtis) and 3 walkons (Porter, Easley, and Piatkowski) available for the four or five games.

I'd like one ticket to the Dainja Zone please

Okay, here's the deal:  (I hate colons and semicolons).  Never mind.
 
Contest is:  name the player who averages the highest number of points in Italy (minimum of 2 games).
Tiebreaker:  In the NBA Draft, what number is Roby picked? 
 
Deadline for this contest is June 19.
 
As a thank you for all who participated, you have a free bag of jerky waiting for you at HUB (156th and Dodge).  Just give them your HHC name and pick out a bag that you want.  For those not in Omaha, pm me and we'll figure something out.  GBR!

Softball counterpoint: get rid of all these players because they suck and get better ones

Espn mock has Roby late 30's.

Andre Allen just signed on with Arizona State BTW.
 
 

I think we land this kid this week (he’s here through Friday), he gets immediate eligibility, and we get our Deshaun Thomas at the 4 for a couple years.  

If we land Jayce and Shamiel on top of securing Jervay, and Mack/Cheatham/and Kevas, not too worried about the other two, I am giddy as a school girl.

The difference is that guys found out on the internet before they found out from their coach. They deserve better.  That is why there is pushback. 

Huskers land 6'8" G/F freshman transfer from Western Kentucky

 
The lengthy PG from Toronto nearly recorded a triple-double vs Wisconsin last year. Lack of playing time played a factor in the transfer and Banton has 3 years of eligibility left after he sits out this year as a transfer.
