2/4: 96-64 over Providence here. 49-23 at halftime. 21, 11 for Thun, 16, 12 for Mack, 17, 3 for Dark, 12, 9 for Long. +28 RBs, +48 in the paint.
2/8: We get stunned, 78-88 at DePaul. We didn’t shoot well and we let them shoot 50%. We were down only 1 at the half but just lost focus in the 2nd. 30, 5 for Long, but no one else did much of anything. Thun fouled out playing only 12 minutes, and Mack played 17 minutes due to fouls. But the officials didn’t beat us, we were just lousy.
2/11: 78-66 at Xavier. We led for the last 33 minutes but never by a lot. Up 3 at the break. We went on a run with about 7 minutes left and that iced it. 17, 15, 3 blocks for Thun,
14, 7 for Mack, 12, 5 for Long. +26 in the paint, +12 RBs.
Thun is #2 on the Norton list.
2/15: 94-65 at Vermont. 44-28 at the break. 34, 11 for Thun, who is in the running for national POY. 20, 14 for Mack, 17, 10 for Long. +32 RBs, +54 inside, +23 on 2nd chances.
25-2, 10-2, 1 back of Seton Hall, who we play next week at our place in a game that will likely decide the regular season Big East championship. #2, NET #1.
I get a report from the ship that something at the far edges of its visual field is approaching and it “does not seem to be of natural origin. I suspect as it gets closer it will wind up to be a meteor or a comet or just some space debris. We’ll see.
