So, I was able to make it out to the game with my 2yr old son, minus the wife and other two kids. Me and my kid had a great time, the atmosphere at the game was electric. I was shocked at how many Indiana fans were there, in fact I set right behind a family of three all wearing red.

Anyway, I don't know why, but I have run into Darrell Dickey at every home basketball game. This time it was walking into the game, and he walked by me and I said - "Hey Darrell". He patted me on the back. Nice Guy. And then when my 2year old wanted some food, I decided to brave the concession stand..

Big mistake.. The line was like 2 miles long. So I went back to my seat and came back probably 15 minutes later. I was waiting in line, and standing behind someone with a NT football pullover and guess who cuts in line with this guy in front of me - Chris Hurd. I laughed to myself as I overheard some of the conversations that were going on between these two. I wasn't sure it was him and then I saw his N.O. Bowl watch. So as he was getting his food I asked him to give me the trademark C. Hurd hand signal - "no way" crossing of the hands -

he laughed and said "not anymore, I'm through with it now". Him and his buddy thanked me for my support. Someone with a Sun Belt shirt on was joking with C. Hurd because he had a Miller beer hat on and said "We don't want to send the wrong message..." and "They aren't our sponsor"... Just thought that was a funny story...

By the way - I got there a little too late for tailgating, but me and my wife plan to make it for the next game tailgate...

Didn't see DD, but I did get served a Coke by RV. The girl working the concession was struggling, and it was right before the 2nd half was to start, so RV jumped in to help her out. I thought that was a pretty classy move on his part.

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol
