I love hearing that Blakes is having success. The Ninja Turtle seems like a great guy.

Happy for Blakes and for Roach. I don't see the need to be upset with these young men, especially given how competitive this year's roster is.

I've seen a couple Blakes highlights, and he had a steal and breakaway power-dunk in one of them. His FG% is a career high by a country mile, but he still can't shoot 3s. He's averaging 14.3 ppg, which is a career high by 3 or 4 country miles. So, his use rate has gone way up while his FG% has gone way up. That's what i can't believe. There were times at Duke where he had trouble making layups, but he seems to be scoring the ball well now.
With Baylor, Roach is still a bit more CG than PG. When Fr Wright is on the floor (25 mpg), he’s the PG. But Roach is matching Wright in assists (4.7/gm) even when not the nominal PG. And he leads Baylor in MP/gm (32.6).

I'm glad to see that Stewart returned Monday for Ohio State after missing a game, playing 22 minutes in an easy win over Green Bay. He continues to struggle a bit, with a strange line of 1-5 on close 2s and 4-4 on mid-range 2s and also 4 fouls.

Nice piece by Jaden Schutt on his multiple injuries last year, his decision to transfer, and his return to the court. I'm rooting for him. https://hokiesports.com/news/2024/11/28/599-days

He also had — stop me if you’ve heard this before — 4 fouls.

In addition to the current Duke men and women, these 8 former Blue Devils will also be taking part in the ACC-SEC Challenge. (No Jaylen Blakes -- there are 18 ACC teams and 16 SEC teams, so the Stanford men are left out, along with the SMU men, Pittsburgh women, and Wake Forest women.)

Alex Karaban isn’t going to play for UConn as he recovers from a concussion from Maui (literal injury to insult)… the game is in Gampel so UConn will have some home crowd energy, but on paper this looks like a major mismatch in Baylor’s favor.

Jordyn Oliver scored just 2 points (1-3 FG) but also had 9 rebounds and 4 assists in 37 minutes of Vanderbilt's 88-70 win at Miami.
TJ Power was one missed 3-pointer away from a 5 trillion stat line; he did nothing else in his 5 bench minutes of Virginia's 87-69 loss at Florida.
Jaden Schutt started, played 34 minutes, and led the Hokies with 15 points (5-11 FG, all threes), 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and a steal. Alas, Virginia Tech lost at home, 80-64 to Vanderbilt. Former VT players MJ Collins (15 off the bench) and Tyler Nickel (6 as a starter) were on the winning side.
