This is the kind of stat line we should expect from Sloan. Under .500 on free throws is eh, but 9 assists make up for it. You read the box score and think: Good; he is showing up in the post-season. You read the story on the game and think: OH NO, I can't believe he played!

Sloan didn't travel with the team to Kansas City so that he could spend more time with his mother, Sandra, who passed away Thursday morning. Shortly after her death he flew to the Big-12 tournament and nearly had a triple double in a must win game, saying that "I think she would have wanted me to play this game."
