huh? Freeman has been VERY good this season. King is still developing and isn't nearly as efficient or reliable. high ceiling player tho obviously

Great response from an opening 2 minute lull.

I think McClure is going to average 17 or 18 ppg his senior season.

For whatever reason I don't get espn news. Going to be a great finish in the butler/nova game
Hambone

Ish fires a bullet to Jo and it JUST gets by the D, easy dunk! 11-3 BU 16:35
Hambone

Thomas buries a 3 from the corner as the clown winds down, 11-6

Jo takes an ill-advised 3, it's off

King finds Manu on the break and his pull-up 3 is no good, then Motley called for a foul. media TO

It's like our guys are scoreboard watching. Lets hope they don't see the Butler score at half.

We're still shooting a higher % than ISU. We'll be fine, teams will come out tough until we punch them in the mouth inside. Shots will start to fall. I'm sure Freeman not starting didn't help.
Hambone

damn, deep ball from Long but no surprise cuz he can stroke it from anywhere. 14-14

just keep pounding them down low...
