I really don’t understand how this is not an exciting activity for a student

Good start... keeping them off the board heading into the first timeout. A couple TOs and missed Ty 3's keep us from a bigger lead though.

Cats seem to really like hard bounce passes that the receiver can't get to cleanly. Lately the number of turnovers from bounce passes seems to have gone way up.

Walked past Boo in the aisle between 106 and 107. I welcomed him back in case no one else had.

Student section has an occupancy rate of 25 percent.

Hoiberg looks like a character from the movie Dodgeball.

Go Cats.

20 to 7 on the glass, including 10 offensive boards so far. Nice.

Also: is it me, or does Clayton take a bit too long to throw the ball in from out of bounds? I'm not saying these are five-second calls, but it's three games now where it seems like he struggles to find someone until the last possible moment.

Good shooting and good defense overcoming some sloppy passing. Gotta clean up the passing because the shooting will come back to earth.

The Cats are killing it and these fans are number than a root canal. They cheer like a patient etherized upon a table. WTF.

Little Hungry and I said hello. I reminded Boo how he had signed his jersey two years ago, when LH was a foot shorter. He’s as tall as Boo now.

Boo gave him a gift card to Epic Burger and told him to post a selfie on the web site to win Boo Burgers for life! LOL

KJs shot around threes look nice. He needs to see a couple go in during the game.

Ty feeling it today!

Clayton is not as good as KJ today so far. He’s thinking too much instead of doing.

I know refs aren't going to call it every time, but I wish Martinelli could somehow draw more called fouls.

We have no firepower beyond Berry and Martinelli. And we are not dong a good job setting Nick up
