Was on a few minutes later. On ESPNews. Terrible Skype connection. But still cool. Mike is very good in interviews.

Re: GDT: @ Fort Wayne Wannabe Mammoths

Certainly Daum had an incredible game which deserves a lot of attention but there were some other nuggets in the stats that make me excited for this team moving forward.

1. SDSU held IPFW to under 30% 3PT FG%. They haven't done that much this year. SDSU has made poor shooting teams look like superstars.
2. SDSU won the rebounding battle against a bigger team. When SDSU wins the redounding battle they win, period.
3. SDSU had 17 assists. This team is playing together even with a guy scoring at a level like Daum is.
4. The team is contributions from a lot of players in Theissen and Hess's absence. Flatten was big Saturday. So was King defensively.
5. The whole team is getting to the FT line, not just Daum and they are shooting 80%+.
6. Howell was much more under control against IPFW. He is growing up. He still had 3 turnovers but his presence was positive.

More than any of those, the team is playing with some serious heart. They are getting the rebounds, loose balls, and steals, that they weren't early in the year. The scary thing is the team still isn't very good defensively which means they still have serious upside potential.

This season has been a bumpy ride but lookout for these guys in Sioux Falls. Nobody wants to play them. It is a wide open field and with a huge partisan crowd and the good vibes they have to feel on that court. Get Hess and Theissen back and they could be the team to beat.

I see Omaha newspaper running a poll of what daum's role would of been this year for nebraska. Was he just asked to walked on or was he recruited at all there

Here's a report from an Omaha columnist. Daum visited Nebraska but wasn't recruited there. His biggest D-1 offer was from Wyoming, but he preferred SDSU.

My favorite quote from asst. coach Walker in the Herald article:

"Just wait, Walker said. He’ll get stronger, quicker and more flexible."

A good reminder that we are dealing with a player that is still closer to the beginning of his career than the end. It's hard to picture what two more years of practice and experience might do to a guy that already completely dominates the Summit League.

You spelled "Dauminates" wrong.

Agree. The physicality in his game progressed a bunch just from last year to this one. It seems to me he's had a lot more dunks this year.

Which is worse -- being mistaken for San Diego by sportscasters or being mistaken for the 'Yotes by the NCAA?
