Even more familiar names showing up in the headlines

Of course the one familiar name in the most headlines in Sam Maniscalco...

"Maniscalco is the Man" headlines say...

Paul Klee even pleads "mea culpa" to underestimating Sammy's skills and guts!
But here's a funny line from writer Paul Klee..........
""It's kind of hard to understand how he can get in there
and make layups," said Bruce Weber, whose program is fortunate
Maniscalco was available on the college free-agency market."

Hmmm...so is anyone else gonna come checking Bradley's roster for more "free agents"??? - LOL

And one more that hits home...
"Consider Illinois' fortunes so far if Maniscalco had stayed
at Bradley for his fifth season. Tuesday marked the third tight game
where he made the biggest plays.."

"We should be proud to wear this (Illinois) jersey," said Maniscalco,
..."It's a privilege to put on this uniform."


Zach Andrews is among the leaders and also blocks & double doubles..but showing his maturity as a player he's nowhere near the leaderboard in fouls!

Zach Andrews is 3rd in rebounding among the players who have played more than 2 games...

Ex-ISU signee Justin Dentmon leads all of the NBA D-League in scoring at 28 ppg, and Ex-Missouri State Bear Blake Ahearn is 6th at 26.7 ppg.
Osiris Edlridge is also in the top 30 at 17 ppg.

Dentmon is also in the TOP 10 in 3-pt shooting at 62.5%

Blake Ahearn is averaging 8 assists per game ranking him in the Top four.
Dentmon at 7 apg is 7th.

Ahearn at 32-33 (.970) is the leader in FT shooting...and he's also the D-League leader in Pts-Rebs-Asst combined.
