Indiana Hoosiers vs Kennesaw St.

Well, this was a very competitive game until the final 7 minutes. Indiana is playing very strong at now 10-3, without Trayce-Jackson, a back ailment of some sort. I can see Indiana in the Sweet Sixteen, maybe more as they are on a mission, with Mike Woodson, their coach. When the end of the season and the brackets are out, I will not be surprised to see Kennesaw State in the fray; they are a very aggressive fast team, one not to count out.

Indiana Hoosiers 69 at 10-3

Kennesaw St. 55 at 8-5

Arizona Bowl may be wet

The southern Arizona area is forecast to get up to an inch of rain from Wednesday through Friday evening next week. By game time it could end, but the hourly calls for showers all day so be prepared with wet gear if going to the game.

If driving forget the scenery part and consider staying on I25 to I10 cutting over through Hatch. Be aware of any mountain routes as the drive might make you feel at home trying to get to Laramie.

St. Mary's

They are a solid team; they will be around in March. Their Senior Logan J., Junior M. Saxen, and Freshman A. Mahaney throttled us. Maldonado, as someone mentioned, has regressed. He never used to lose balls as he has been. His shooting is below par, and they are on him when he goes to the left side and backs players down to score, which is not happening. We sometimes showed sparks of good play and made a run, but we could not sustain it. A good team shuts you down and responds to the threat. They beat SDSU and may again tomorrow.

Air Force is making MTN WEST CONF. look good. They are Thrashing Baylor in the 4th 30-7.

Watched a 6-6 Creighton beat 8-4 Butler Bulldogs., a nice game. Pokes 6-6 maybe we can climb the mountain.
