Today on Monsters in the Morning the guys were talking about the NC v MSU game & Mike North (who I, like most generally view as a bit of a tool) said that Izzo likes to play tough teams early to prepare his guys for the Big Ten, and then makes this example, "like last year he played Bradley early..."

Thought it was kinda nice to hear a Chicago guy voice that he thought BU to be a good opponent for last year's NCAA runner-up.

Guess it doesn't take much to make me happy huh?

Last year they played Bradley right after playing Maryland, Oklahoma State, Wichita State, then UNC...

Mike North is a volunteer assistant coach at Niles Notre Dame high school where some guy named Tom Les is the head coach. Your coach is also a NND grad. Connect the dots........

...Connect the dots........

sure...it means he isn't just shooting from the lip in an uninformed manner like some...
he knows a lot about basketball from a first hand viewpoint, since he is actually in the coaching business......
thanks for pointing that out...

Dinma Odiakosa 6'8 255 and IMPROVING DAILY.......

Funny thing is.....his last game produced his lowest point total and rebound total for the season, and it was the most minutes he's played in a game this season. I thought I heard somewhere that his free throws were also improved......all the way up to 50% for the year.

I think we should lay off Dinma, he's giving ISU as much as they had hoped for...
only one center in the league grabs more rebounds, and only one center scores more points...although Taylor Brown exceeds both ...

How did he do on defense vs. Andrew Nicholson?

Nicholson came in avg 19 points and 9 boards.

He had 2 points and 3 boards in 15 minutes, before fouling out.

He's also the fourth-leading rebounder on their team per minute played.

Besides, I was just pointing out a couple of facts.

Wow! Now that's a big time player.

I assume this was the same Mike North who said that he wasn't sure who he'd rather have between LeBron and Deron Williams...I'll pass on feeling good about his comment.

Are you really trying to discredit him as a rebounder by spinning stats? The guy averages 7 boards per game. Same as last year.

[cpacmel]

Just because you have never heard of the guy, doesn't mean the guy can't play.

If you would like to read up on him, here is his bio:

Hoding him to 2 points and 3 boards and fouling him out in the process was pretty impressive, IMO.
