Well, the NU media guide counts Shurna.....they also list:

Kelly, I believe your from New Castle and a friend of Bryant's dad. I'm down in Florida most of the time so I don't get to as many games, but I will be back for the Maryland and Rutgers games. I'm wondering if Bryant's dad, who I understand has been instrumental in his development is getting up to a lot of the games. It's my understanding he is an assistant at Greensburg.
I hope the people who post on this board understand that he is the prototype state of Indiana great backcourt player. I thought he took over that game last night in the last seven minutes. He has a wonderful basketball IQ. By the way he is also a very good young guy. I met him at a couple of the team events and he is a very nice soft spoken young guy.
I guess it would be say to say to all Cats fans out there to enjoy every minute of Bryant McIntosh's play. Players like this don't come along every year.

Watching his post-game interview yesterday, he struck me as a no ******** kind of guy. He isn't caught up in the hype, he knows NU is good but is still growing and could be better. I really like what I hear from him.

I believe Bryant's parents go to almost every weekend game. It's a tough drive to make for a weeknight game. Scott is no longer coaching at Greensburg.

I think I enjoyed the press conference more than the game. Bryant was a little different. There was a cockiness in his voice that I've been waiting to hear. He's a humble young man but I'm pretty sure he enjoyed that win more than he let on.

I laughed at the part where a reporter asked if Indiana recruited him and he just replied "No". I'm pretty sure I remember riding around Indiana's campus on a golf cart with Bryant and Scott and with Tom Crean behind the wheel. Lol

Did Crean try to shove you guys off the cart because it was getting too crowded?

Too funny.

Funny story. As we were driving thru campus, Crean saw Hanner Perea and Peter Jurkin. He pulled the golf cart over and asked where they were going. Perea responded "The Library." Crean said "Good one, Hanner" and we drove off.

That's a good one.

I can imagine a similar scenario at NU -

Collins to Mac and Lumpkin: where are you guys going?
Mac: to a gang bang at a fraternity.
Collins: Good one, Mac. Stay away from the frickin library and get a life.
