He's got a steady court demeanor, and I agree with 69 that he's a better defender. I think he fits better with this team, and I feel pretty good with him and JG as the point guards for the next few years. Very steady

I like Sean too. But I still get a kick out of “East went south”.

feel like he's been around forever!

Samba really not doing much for Manhattan - had 3 points last night...really thought he'd be good for them. Ty Flowers on the other hand has been very good for LU...18 points 11 rebounds and 6 assists last night...averaging 18 and 8 for the season

Actually, East went west. :lol: Putting in basketball perspective, there is usually a big step forward from freshman to sophomore years. Sean has gotten much more under control. I think Garcia is a good comparison to Sean. If he can cut down on his turnovers and improve his decision making he will be dynamite next year. He has the physical tools and he is already an above average defender.

If you've got nothing on the schedule tonight at 5:00, tune in to see McLean play Flowers and Wood. I got... nothing... else... going... on... yawn.

Chris Baldwin hit game winning shot for Texas Southern on Saturday. I'm glad for him he's had rough year personally.

Side note the team they beat, coach died the next day at age 55.

Thanks for the update. I always liked Chris! I wish him well!

Sorry to hear about the opposing coach. Way too young to go.

Watched Diallo (Manhattan) play Pitino's Iona for a while after the impeachment trial ended for the day. Helter skelter kind of game with bodies flying all over the place (no, I'm talking about basketball). Ended up with 14 and 8.

I always enjoyed Unique's game. Seems he may have added the 3pt shot to his arsenal. If he had that UMass he would probably still be here.

He should be proud how he really has developed his game: "McLean tallied an aforementioned career and team-high 25 points on 9-of-16 shooting from the field, 3-of-5 shooting from three" He didn't have that kind of game in his time here.
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.

Houston is on espn2, the Nola guys are now seniors and looking at their stats they have stayed consistent all 4 years. Both of their stats are almost identical as Umass year. Makes me wonder what their progression would have been at Umass or these stats are their ceiling?

^ What is really shows is that to get DJ, you had to take Gresham, who hasn't been nearly as good as I though he would be.
