The Globetrotters of my time were fantastic. They were great ball handlers and very entertaining. Does anyone remember Curly Neal?

yes -- Meadowlark Lemon Goose Tatum Marques Haynes even saw Wilt play with them upon his problems at Kansas.

Other former Bearcats who were Globetrotters - Mel Leavitt, Biggie McClain, Jermaine Tate, Darnell Wilks. Probably more.

Pretty impressive for a guy who rarely saw the court under Wes. Makes one wonder. Is anyone surprised that Wes can’t gauge talent and skill?

I think that CJ is more of a true basketball player versus the athletes that seem to dominate the game today. I am really happy for this young man.

CJ Anthony had 20 points on 19 shots with 3 assists, no turnovers, and 4 steals at St Johns. Got to the rim 7 times. Best player on the court with a 16.5 BPM. Very impressive.

Checking in on some transfers with their current BPM and (their last season at UC).

Dillon Mitchell 14.0 (6.8)
Dan Skillings 0.5 (5.8)
Josh Reed 3.7 (3.1)
Arrinten Page 11.1 (1.2)
Tyler Betsey 6.1 (-1.2)
Connor Hickman -0.5 (-2.5)
CJ Anthony 3.7 (-2.7)
Rayvon Griffith -0.6 (-3.5)

Everyone has improved dramatically except Skillings who is off to a slow start, and Reed who has held steady.

I'm really happy for CJ Anthony and Page especially. Both have become high usage, efficient primary options. CJ has a 34% assist rate and a 75% free throw rate! He's already attempted 61 free throws - no one on our squad has attempted even 40. Page has cut down on fouls and turnovers while becoming a great passer (2.6 apg) and finisher (86% at the rim).

CJ Anthony scored 26 points in Iona's 89-66 win over Delaware.

At the rate that he is going, it makes me wonder if Iona would beat UC this season.

[Carthage World]

CJ Anthony scored 26 points in Iona's 89-66 win over Delaware.

CJ Anthony scored 22 points in Iona's 91-84 double OT win over Oregon State last night.

I can’t think of any reason why UC would intentionally force Hickman to play hurt. He’s not Oscar Robertson, he was actually a minor part of the squad. I also doubt our medical staff would misdiagnose him. This is just lawyers with dollar signs in their eyes, and a kid who just wants to play.

I agree 100% but it is now out there. Other coaches will use this against UC.
