Update: Hagedorn has a little Daum in him. Boy likes to pop the 3 now and then. Shooting about 38% from beyond arc.
Both Mooney and hagedorn were taken away. Mooney had a couple of points and hagedorn finished with 9 points. Honestly was not too impressed with him as he was 3-14 from the field. He definitely struggled versus the red head.
But it didn't really matter as neither team was shooting well. Seemed like once our big was taken out of the game they just drove to the rim and would get the whistle. Every. Single. Time.

Tough loss, but south Dakota is beatable.

South Dakota struggles but perseveres vs. Western Illinois.

"Lion King Cam"?....that's hilarious....and cute.

For those not watching, it's during a timeout and the camera is showing parents with kids and they're supposed to hold them up in the air like in the beginning of the Lion King.

Two of the next four game are definitely in the winnable category. The other two, not so much. Usiosefe might be "All In" but he has not been "All There" since the Butler game. Looks like he is fighting some sort of nagging injury. Gavin getting more PT because of it. Someone has to pick up the slack in the paint.
Embrace the pace of the race.
