...and almost 1/3 of OSU'S points came from the free-throw line.

For me, this is a disconcerting trend. Seeing it a few sports in Nebraska, including Class A football. Not sure why this is happening. Lack of interest? Lack of time? Lack of money? Video revolution? Here are a few sentences from a recent article in the LJS. You can get the full article from numerous news outlets: The largest high school in the state won't have a varsity girls basketball program this season. Grand Island Senior High announced Friday morning it had canceled the 2024-25 varsity season because no junior or senior girls had gone out for the sport. The shocking move comes from a school with a total student population of 2,070 in grades 9-11 — the largest enrollment in Nebraska. Grand Island's girls enrollment of 967 in grades 9-11 is also the largest in the state.

Freddie Banks???

Your assumption is correct: http://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/virginia-coach-tony-bennett-chokes-back-tears-explaining-decision-to-retire-it-was-time/

Yeah, the timing of this is overwhelmingly odd. I wish him well.

Morgan looked good at the free throw line and has a piss and vinegar intensity. I will suggest he would be in the game at crunch time, perhaps instead of Berke. I am not yet 100% sold on Griffiths yet. Remembering last year and Sam's game, I am inclined to go with: 5. Morgan 4. Gary 3. Brice 2. Sam 1. Rollie. Things will play out, so hey, strictly guessing at this point.

Part of the whites lack of assists, would be the Meah affect; he definitely restricts shots in the paint.

Back from the BOB. I must say, it was cool to watch the game there. Good environment. No clue on attendance; but guessing a number between 2500 to 5000ish. Whether he wants the role or not, Brice is the leader. I really don't have many negative takes. It was a life-like scrimmage. A lot of good movement and pretty selfless play on offense. I know who started for the two teams, yet I'm not yet positive who the starters will be and what roles have been finalized. We do have quality depth, no question. - Brice was Brice. Well rounded performance. - Juwan looks strong. I pray that he does not fall in love with the perimeter. His shot looks fine, but they were not falling. - Berke is great, then he isn't. He can do a lot of great stuff; but sometimes the effort didn't seem to be there on defense. - Rollie is a good one. He made his only 3; but seems to rather facilitate then shoot. Good rebounder and defender. - Braxton is a dude. Kind of got knocked around a bit; but he knocked players around as well. My concern is with his limited offensive game. He only seems comfortable dunking. - Connor can shoot the rock and moves well. Umm, can he defend...not sure yet. He sometimes made me think that Keisei was a great defender in comparison. - Sam is Sam. He will have a role. - Ahron is interesting to me. He brings us speed. He passes and defends well. I think Rollie is the starter at point; but Ahron could easily step in. - I was pleasantly surprised with Braden. He is further along than I anticipated. Could he redshirt? Sure. If so it would be because of our depth rather than his 17 year old age. - Andrew is a good one. I really liked his performance today. He plays with a bit of piss and vinegar which I like. - Nick is a smooth operator. Honestly, his shot release is a bit funky and I could see him struggling getting his shot off in the league. But the kid has game. - Gavin struggled with his shot; but also showed his athletic ability. His shot is beautiful, I think he is a good get. - Cale could get minutes. I'm not sure where he can find those minutes; but he has the skills. - Justin could give minutes in an emergency...or he could redshirt. Anyway, just my humble observations. Fun day...and yes, the popcorn at the BOB is still the best.

Heading to the BOB momentarily. A bit geeked about seeing our team.

The bigs. We need those three to perform at a high level.

Are all the players 100% healthy and ready to go, other than Mast?

We have now offered Webber.

Designed by the University.

They both did well. Watched some of it on BTN.

It is done. Much more simple. Sort of goes against national trends. I like it.

What the heck is muave?

Man, our players [team] should feel the disrespect that flows from the media. I guess we simply need to keep winning and remain stealth.

Wow, just wow. Pete Rose just passed away. Great talent...GREAT hitter, but...

Oh man, Kris Kristofferson passed today. Writer, singer, actor, legendary party animal. RIP! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8R4gsXm/

Welp, got our tickets for both the Oregon and Washington games. Should be a good trip.

Good to be 4-1. Lot's of stuff to fix; but a good road win.

My only surprise would be not having Juwan and Brice in the starting five. Otherwise, Fred has the chess pieces that will make the season interesting.
