I was there, 2nd row end court, for NYU losing to Army by one point for second year in a row.
Update on Brandon Gardner, he has been out since the first game of the season with an injury to his right foot. I don’t know what type of injury but it has been enough to keep him in street clothes.
Unrelated but Charles Barkley nicknamed Anthony Davis Street Clothes last year
If my memory is correct, earlier in the game, Crowley called a bullshit technical on Frank Gilroy.
The loss to Detroit, in the NCAA, and the contract blow-up was after Fran's second year.
On the other side of coin, Steve Honzo was in Looie’s back pocket most night many moons ago
That second one was nasty

Yaxel Lendeborg with 23, 15 and 7 blocks vs UTSA tonight. What a find by whoever it was that found him last year
Had this game on my computer during our game. Kid has excellent timing, long arms and big hands to block shots. Can handle, pass and shoot. What's not to like? Followed him on Facebook since he was a recruit of ours and he seems like a real nice humble kid.

Does he have a year of eligibility left after this season?
Juco transfer so probably has a year left but IMHO don’t think Pitino would revisit.
High-flying dramatics just a preview of Wisconsin sophomore's potential
The Wisconsin sophomore guard showed off some above-the-rim, dynamic play Tuesday. And it's only a hint of what the Badgers think he can potentially provide.
From the January 3, 2004 article ”Dunlap Motors Storm to Win” in Newsday:
“Alexander was one of the handful of members of the 2022-23 team who Pitino invited back but instead chose to enter the NCAA transfer portal and made the move to Butler.
“I didn’t leave with bad intentions or bad blood — I just left because I wanted [a change of] scenery,” Alexander said. “Rick Pitino is a great guy and a great coach. . . . It was nothing personal.”

Old piece but enjoyed it
