The men's basketball team stomped Jacksonville, 97-58. As Billy always says when we win, it was a "good win for us" and "we have a long way to go but we are getting better every day". My predictions were:

1) "total domination by Joe and AK"
I was spot on here. Compared to their 2 big men (Allen and Colbert), Joe and AK out-scored them 29:6, out-rebounded them 12:6, and had 2 more blocks and 2 less turn-overs. Points in the paint says it all, 40:26.

2) "Joe will commit... 4 (fouls), 3 in the first half"
I was not spot on here. Joe finished with 3. He got his 1st one 5 min in to the first half, then did not commit another until the second half. Thanks Joe.

Weirdest stat of the game was Jacksonville getting more offensive rebounds than defensive rebounds, 20:17. The surprised Billy too, but "when you guard the dribbler like we do that happens". Apparently our 9 blocked shots and their 20 o-bards are a wash.

Apparently Melvin Bullitt was sick as hell when he posted a team-high seven solo tackles and a pick in the win AT AUSTIN. After being a part of some truly awful defenses, Melvin really stepped up this year.
