BTW, pretty impressive group of STUDENT-athletes assembled on Devlin Court at halftime. Congrats and Kudos to all those young men and women.

Agreed. Little surprised zero of them were interested in taking in the basketball game.

Is that what the ginormous hole in the student section was from?

I'm only speculating but tickets were provided free for them to get into the game. They were supposed to meet in the tunnel during the first half to organize and only a very small minority came in after the half.

Seriously? No one on SN (I'm looking at you Dave) is going to comment on this quote?!!!

There were ginormous holes in quite few locations.

A sorry mess.

Attendance is down nationwide. Even Duke.

Pretty sure the Saluki poster that made that up intended the double entendre.

Unfortunately I missed the game, but obviously several strong individual performances. Sorry if HCGMs comment below has already been shared, but this great to hear. I always wondered how Conner would handle his defensive assignments after being such a successful HS scorer, but in the games that I've caught he has been solid. As an aside, I know blocked shots don't always parallel good defense, but his knack for deflecting shots one-on-one is pretty impressive. I'm curious if I am not remembering this correctly, but my recollection of the UNI game in the MVC tourney was that Conner kept their PG in front of him as well, or honestly better, than anyone else did. I tend to focus on Conner's shooting to evaluate his success, but I'm appreciating his completeness as a player and seeing how he helps the Shocks win in a variety of ways.

"I thought it was really good. When you put Conner on Mike Rodriguez, and he's averaged 16 points the last five games, he only goes for 6 points tonight…Conner helps us win tonight by going 1-for-2 from the field, and [having] four assists [and] no turnovers, but playing great defense. I'm really tickled that he's starting to figure that out and help us win in other ways than putting the ball in the basket."

Is that a direct quote? 3G said the word tickled?

W.T.F.

I don't even know what to believe any more.

I do believe that is accurate, or at least close to it. I only say that, because I remember laughing a little when I hear him use "tickled".

I didn't hear it on the radio, I saw it on goshockers.
