First off I am happy to report that all of the major Texas papers DID NOT run the AP report.

That was a great game. We "roughed up" a Winthrop team that nearly beat two top-5 teams (UNC and Wisconsin). In fact, Tuesday's game was their worst loss of the season, 71-51. Team offense looked great, and the stats show that. 25 total baskets, 24 assists. I was impressed with AK. He "punished the Eagles." He has great hands, seals off the lane, gets open, has a soft touch, and always take the ball strong to the hoop. It must be his European roots, but that kid goes straight up as soon as he gets it. None of this Andy Slocum try and dribble down low then shoot crap. To sum it it up, I agree with Winthrop head coach Gregg Marshal's assessment, "Whatever, he's good." AK's play made you barely notice Joe's "foul-plagued performance". The win completed our third consecutive nonconfernce campaign at home without a loss. 4 years ago we lost to Texas A&M-CC. Was that really only four years ago? Wow.

Here is my favorite quote by Gregg Marshal, "By and large, we play harder than most people we play, but not them."

Jerrod Johnson suited up for the game, but did not play. Ma Bennett is still not practicing with the team. Hopes are still high Ma will join the team, but Billy has not spoken to him recently. You have got to think that he wants to be part of this team.

Josh Carter's record tying seven first half three-pointers against Grambling State was good enough to earn him the Philips 66 Big 12 Men's Basketball Co-Player of the week.

ESPN's bracket wiz, Joe Lunardi, has us as a 3 seed playing Texas A&M-CC in Lexington, KY. Yes, that is right, we will be facing the team that provided our last (deep breath) nonconfrence regular season home loss. Being good is fun.
