Some tidbits and followups and interesting stats.......

SIU really gave up on 3-point shooting last night vs. Charleston Southern (SIU 85- CS 67) with the Salukis going only 1-5, CFay 13 pt/6 reb.
Justin Bocot struggling thus far..averaging 8 ppg, 1.5 asst.

Missouri State's Adam Leonard also struggling with his shooting...
he's only 15-45 from 3-pt on the season.



Indiana beat lowly NC Central by 16 last night -- the only relevant part --
Matt Roth played 6 min. -- 0-1 from 3-pt - scoreless.
Indiana is rumored to be going to get another commitment for 2011 this evening -- but that's important since they already have passed the limit for next year -- and one more means for sure someone currently on the roster is getting booted...

WIU without their star Ceola Clark loses to Morgan St...they need him back.

Ex-Richwoods Knights' Ahmad Grant - a career night 11-17, incl 7-7 from 3-pt!!
30 pts, 6 reb
NC-W loses however to NC A&T

His averages -- 4 ppg, 3 rpg



Last night Osiris Eldridge's Turkish team played a hugely important Eurocup game and won 82-75 but Osiris did not play...no word on whether he's injured...

Also in Turkey -- Allen Iverson's first Eurocup game for his Turkish team, Besiktas, ended in a 85-83 loss, with Iverson going for 18 points, 1 asst. 1 reb.
He's on the same team with Vanderbilt's AJ Ogilvy.
Iverson had played in one league game over the weekend and had just 2 pts, no asst.



One time BU recruit Mitch McGary is doing well at Brewster Prep...



After posting in this blog the actual NCAA rule on what determines whether a shot is good at the buzzer....especially if replay video is available....funny how I got a couple PM's saying -- "so, but it really should be this way..."
As if the rule is irrelevant or just an option -- a suggestion.
NO -- it is the rule -- no need to debate that it ought to be some other way....
