From ESPN Sports Center:

Block of the year ?? Western Illinois player snatches ball away at the rim.  #4 Jesiah West comes up with an incredible rejection for Western Illinois, pinning the ball on the glass with two hands before taking it away during Thursday night's game at Lindenwood.

Two of the 3 neural networks like the Necks in this game.  The Tensorflow net does pretty well on the margin of victory but seems to always favor a lower score, regardless of who is playing.  I might need to adjust some training parameters for it.

Pretty darn good half of basketball.  But you know they have at least one run coming our way in the 2nd half.  Keep the pedal to the metal.

This team is impressive for a first year coach. Playing very disciplined defense and forcing the opponents to make their shots with how well they rebound on both ends

If we can't get 1500 to 1700 in the Hall on Thursday nite to welcome back these men and women, I am going to have to take the bull by the horns and contact the agent for Red Panda.   ;)
