Never a guarantee: Buffalo loses at EMU. Kent with some separation now.

Add a bit more separation as BG losses to Central!

almost a perfect night of MAC hoops....Miami beats Toledo by 2. UT had a 23 footer fall short for the win.

1 more game and it is a sweep of the East!

Dead, dead, in prison, and a great citizen of the City of Memphis. Any KSU fan is welcome to join me for a Tigers game, so come on down anytime.

Looking through the KSU and Memphis media guides:

• The Flashes lost 74-57
• Lee had 16 points and 12 rebounds
• Bedford had 13 points and 11 rebounds
• Turner 11 points
• Holmes 10 points
• Askew 9 points
• Memphis - 50.9% FG, KSU - 35% (hard to read the numbers)
• Memphis - 18-26 FT, KSU - 5-8 FT (hard to read the numbers)
• Memphis - 44 rebounds, KSU - 30 rebounds (hard to read the number)
• Attendance was 5321 according to the Memphis media guide for 1985-86
  

My son was a ball boy at the time and all he said after the game was how "big" Lee was and he must have had size 20 shoes!!!!!
