McAlarney is slow and didn't threaten anyone when trying to take someone off the dribble.  Unless he was holding up a picture of his mom first.

She was a picture, wasn't she!  And why, oh why, did all of the directors/producers continually cut away to fan reaction shots of her?

Got to agree - Tulsa Warrior what are you thinking?  Do you realize we have lost by double figures exactly ZERO times in 23 games this year, and we've played some of the biggest teams in the country already.  Florida State, which is the biggest, Syracuse ON THE ROAD which certainly has better bigs than South Florida.  They are hot, but the teams are virtually even overall, and every computer model has MU winning, albeit some in very close games.

Tough matchups yet, but predicting a double digit loss?  Maybe it's the game we finally go stone cold from behind the arc, but short of that I don't see it.  They are one of the worst teams in the country at defensive rebounding (allowing opponents to grab 34.5% of their missed shots) and they aren't in the top 100 in rebounding, so I don't see the inside dominance.  They can't hit a trey to save their life (one of the few teams under 30% for the year), while we are first in the country again. 

So basically there only two strengths are they are great at stealing the ball (but we protect the ball very well), and they can get to the hoop and draw fouls or score.  The latter is a big concern, but all-in-all we can certainly pull of a huge win in this game even if Dominique scores 30.

Jones has a pretty big head. 

"I'm a big history guy," Jones said, "and what I am focused on now is winning and getting into the tournament. If I help get South Florida into the tournament, then 20 years from now when South Florida is ranked No. 1 in the country, people will look at the history and say, 'Dominique Jones started that program.'"
