Seems our stats went down in the 3rd. Andrew sent this link to use. http://www.statbroadcast.com/events/statmonitr.php?gid=sfla

Thank you for the updates.

Live stats are down again. I talked to Andrew Goodrich at last night's game. He disappeared, apparently to talk to the person responsible for the web site. When he returned, the stats were up, but only if you clicked on the Live Stats link in the schedule. This evening the link on the home page still does not work, and there was no Live Stats link in the schedule for this game, as of this posting. I fired off an email to Andrew, as he requested I do. Apparently they are in the process of changing web design providers. We may have to live with this until that happens. Can't come soon enough for me.

Live stats are up. At least from the schedule. Main page link was still not working, but they are working on it.

Cincinnati beat Louisville this evening, but Missouri is up on Arkansas - Little Rock 8-4 in the top of the 5th, the game in Columbia.

I recently saw an interview with Steve Alford, current UCLA Head Coach and a member of the 1987 championship team. He reveres Knight. BTW, Bobby Knight only had 3 NCAA titles, 76, 81, and 87, Branch McCracken coached Indiana to their other 2 titles in 1940 and 1953.

If Knight is so irrelevant, why the long winded piece to make the point? Don't get me wrong, I would never want Bobby here, but writer's like Norlander make me chuckle. His cry for Knight's ban from relevancy just renewed his relevance. Back to the coaching search....

We can only make the Friday night games, so the 10 game flex packs are good for us. $30 for 10 games. Still a great deal.

I believe you are referring to his brother, Luke. Levi only played in 16 games last year and only had 10 RBIs.

Anybody catch the traffic message board directing people to the UFS vs Memphis game? It was at Bull Run and Alumni. I wish I had my phone out to get a picture of it, but I was driving.

The Herd of Thunder Marching Band meets the Thundering Herd Marching Band in Rome.

HOT comes on the scene at about the 4:25 mark.

They showed some fatigue, this afternoon. In the 4th, shots came up short from the floor and free throw line and passes became lazy. However, they found a way to hang on.

Wow!! Is this sloppy. or what?

Temple starting to hit shots, something they did not do the 1st half.

1,900 is good compared to the rest of the conference, with the exception of UConn. I believe we are second in attendance for WBB in the American. I don't know what the posted attendance was at Tulane last Wednesday, but If you watched the game there was nobody there. Last year, when the ladies played at Tulsa, they had less than 200 show up for the game. If memory serves me right, during the radio broadcast of that game, Mike Lefko said that he felt embarrassed for the Tulsa.

I am trying to get schedule changes, but as it stands now, I probably won't even get to see the game live. Maybe the last quarter from my office.

Sis gave me this.

Got my first helmet from the pseudo-son-in-law.

That 3rd quarter was amazing.

http://www.gousfbulls.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=7700&ATCLID=211332091 TAMPA, NOV. 30, 2016 – It’s been eight years since the University of South Florida women’s basketball team has made 15 three-pointers in a single game, and on Wednesday night, the Bulls drained 16 in their first 50-point victory since 2013. USF annihilated FIU 91-41 Wednesday night at the Sun Dome Arena.

Laksa finished with 22 points, four rebounds, four assists and two steals. Senior Ariadna Pujol (Mataro, Spain) led the Bulls with 23 points, and made a career-high five three-pointers on seven attempts. The guard also grabbed a career-high eight rebounds. Maria Jespersen(Arhus, Denmark) collected her first double-double of the season with 22 points and 11 rebounds. Jespersen was 3-of-7 from long range but shot 64 percent overall from the floor. Junior Laia Flores (Mataro, Spain) set a new program record 17 assists and only committed one turnover. Of those 17, 12 came in the second half, sparking a 20-0 Bulls’ run. The Bulls started slow and trailed FIU (1-5) for the first two minutes of the contest. A lay-up by Pujol followed by a Laksa jumper sparked the Bulls and USF never trailed again. USF’s breakthrough quarter came in the third 10-minute frame. The Bulls scored 37-points, a single-quarter program record. USF made seven of its’ 16 three-pointers during that time. Laksa went a perfect 4-for-4 from deep and 5-for-5 from the floor. The Panthers were plagued by turnovers, committing 16 throughout the game. The Bulls held FIU to a season low 29 percent field goal percentage. Alexis Gordan led the Panthers with 15 points. Key Stats USF outrebounded FIU 48-23, which included 15 offensive rebounds. Every Bull that played grabbed at least one rebound, and five tallied at least four. Notables Flores surpassed USF legends Shantia Grace and Anedra Gilmore as the only USF Bulls to record 15-plus assists in a single game. Grace and Gilmore previously held the record with 14 assists (Grace – 2005 | Gilmore – 2004) Flores’ 17 assists are the most assists ever recorded in the American Athletic Conference. Leslie Vorpahl of Tulane set the previous mark of 15 on Nov. 12, 2016 against Grambling State. USF’s 16 three-pointers is the most three-pointers of any team in the American Athletic Conference this season. The top mark in conference history is 18 set by UConn at UC Davis on Nov. 14, 2014. The 16 three-pointers list second in AAC history. The last time the Bulls had three-players score 20-plus points was Feb. 28, 2015 at UCF. The Bulls have not allowed more than 65 points in a game this season. Laksa has scored at least one three-pointer in nine consecutive games, dating back to last year. USF has not lost at the Sun Dome Arena since Jan. 10, 2016 which is a streak of nine consecutive unbeaten games at home during the regular season.

I keep wondering where LSU is getting all this money to offer. Wasn't the University on the verge of financial collapse due to budget shortfalls last spring and there was talk of cutting football funding?

Thou shall not covet thy rivals D.

Easy to do, if you don't have the means to attend Harvard. Last I checked, Harvard does not offer athletic or academic scholarships.
