Yeah, but just wait and see what he does to Sun Belt basketball!

I've come to grips with until the entire league gets serious about basketball, the league is always playing for one seed. The problem is if everyone goes all in, someone still finishes last, and anyone can beat a better team on any given night. The days of the past are exactly that.

How bad our hoops teams doing today, don’t even know when they play today?

Not sure. His name and Aucoin are NOT in the stat box roster. Other ten players have been on the court. We have three guys with 3 fouls at the half.
