What’s up with Tyrese? Is he hurt?
No, just not in the top 9 rotation (Smith and Hughey are 10 and 11)
It’s just odd he’s not even getting to play during garbage time.
Coach said Hughey was unselfish and opted for Mason Smith to get minutes at the end. Hughey is still a big part of the team just a different role. Johnston with 17 points, 7 rebounds in only 16 minutes. Hope he can get 100% healthy.

Kinda wild we are at a point where our basketball program is 13-1 and blowing WCU out of their own building.

I have a similar feeling. I remember a UFFP thread from (ten?) years ago in which we debated whether we could even claim to be a "mid-major". Truly awesome progress.

The huge margin of victory moved us up 11 spots in the NET Rankings, from 84 to 73.https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketbal ... t-rankings

... and now at 106 according to KenPom. This is his highest rating for FU since a 105 rating a year ago November, just after we'd beaten Coastal in the MBI.

And right now we're a thousand times better than that team was at that time........
