Some followups on BU guys and also some ex-BU recruits who could be playing a ton had they not aimed too high...



Lawrence Wright had ANOTHER monster game last night - he's had quite a few!
He carried his Halifax Rainmen to a 104-78 win over London scoring a game high 27 points!

The Canadian League All Star Game voting is going but since Boogie is NOT one of the native Canadians, he isn't getting much voting - so let's get busy and help!

Marcellus Sommerville carried his team Le Mans to an overtime 85-83 win against Gravelines (the team that booted OE), with Cellus getting 16 pts, 9 rebs, 2 asst.


Patrick O'Bryant is keeping his team in the upper division of the Greek League - shooting around 50% and averaging 10 pts, 6 rebs, 2 blocks


Eddie Cage's Andorra squad sits alone in 1st place - 3 full games ahead of their nearest opponent, in the Spanish LEB Silver - with Eddie playing a key role off the bench averaging 8 ppg, 4 rpg, and leading the entire LEAGUE at 91% FT shooting.


Andrew Warren's Taipans are in 4th place in Australia, but only 1/2 game out of 3rd and just 3.5 games out of 1st place, with Andrew averaging 14 ppg, 3 rebs, and 37% from 3-pt.


In the NBDL Zach Andrews is still playing well - averaging nearly a double double 11 pts, 9 rebs. Zach starts for the hottest team in the NBDL - the D-Fenders, who have won 8 straight and who are in 1st place with the best record.

Chris Roberts' Texas Legends just killed the Rio Grande Vipers 130-97 with CRob getting 17 pts on 7-9 from the floor and 3-5 from 3-pt.
In addition to shooting well from 3-pt range, Chris also hits 76% on FT's.



Creighton assistant coach on women's basketball team arrested - DUI

Speaking of arrests, this head basketball coach was not only arrested but stepped down after an ugly, perverted incident of exposing himself....with the 65 year old pervert undressed in his car in a park with a 17-year old female student at the school!
What's interesting is that this high school in Martinsville, Indiana is John Wooden's alma mater and the home court is named after Wooden.

Anyone see the Indiana-Iowa game last night - Iowa played well and nearly blew #20 ranked Indiana out.
Matt Roth played 15 minutes as a spot sub and again when IU was desperate and needed 3-pointers. He made 4-4 proving again he's a great shooter and should be playing more and have the opportunity to score!
Also in this game, Iowa's Matt Gatens was 7-10 from 3-pt range and ended up with 30 points.
The HUGE difference is that Gatens starts, plays the entire 40 minutes, and is the KEY player for Iowa.
Too bad Matt gets so disrespected at IU - some games he barely plays at all - like the 4 minutes he got last time against Iowa or the 11 minutes he got in Indiana's loss to Michigan where Matt was scoreless while Michigan's Zach Novak - a similar player - got 36 minutes and was 3-5 from 3-pt range.
Indiana is already oversigned for next year so it's pretty much a given he's not going to get his scholarship re-upped - again even more disrespect....he should look to play his final season a closer to home for a program where the fans and staff will appreciate him.

One other player who needs to look elsewhere is James Siakam - one of the top high schoolers out of Illinois a couple years ago who went to Vanderbilt.
After redshirting last year he still hasn't played hardly at all - only 20 minutes in garbage time total all season...although he hasn't missed a shot he's taken since Thanksgiving!
He needs to get out while he has time to re-establish his career where he can play.
