There were no games in the Bahamas last night but....
South Dakota State played Pinheiros in Brazil to start their exhibition tour...

South Dakota State got clobbered 84-63, playing poorly, lots of turnovers, maybe the travel affected them...

SDSU head coach Scott Nagy said....
"This is probably the best team we'll play all season, and I don't mean just in Brazil,
this is a team of men, and we just played like boys tonight."


Ex-Iowa Hawkeye recruit Cody Larson had 11 pts for South Dakota State
Tomorrow the SDSU Jackrabbits play the Brazilian U22 National team, and Xavier - with ex-BU recruits Remy Abell & Matt Stainbrook arrive
in Brazil & play Flamengo U22 and two more games (Pitt & Ole Miss) are played in the Bahamas.

btw - Abell finished their summer league averaging 23 ppg & 40% from 3-pt...
He teams with other ex-Bradley recruits, Larry Austin, Jr., and James Farr this coming season.

Ole Miss beats the Providence Storm in Bahamas 92-81
..Eugene Bain, who played against us in the Bahamas, led Providence with 20 pts,
Ole Miss was led by Jarvis Summers with 22.
Ex-BU recruit Roderick Lawrence had 5 pts,

they have only one more game there - Wednesday


BTW - one of the top dogs at Ole Miss kinda put his foot in his mouth...then HAD TO BACKTRACK!
during an interview on August 1, he said the University policy was to use the phrase
"OLE MISS" only in the athletic context and to use "UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI" otherwise...

Then ....
"Following public outcry from fans, students and alumni on message boards and social media sites
following the release of the Six-Step Plan on Inclusiveness, University Chief Communications Officer Tom Eppes
gave a clarification interview published by The Clarion Ledger in Jackson, Miss.

Eppes talked to the Ledger late on Aug. 1 after the newspaper’s earlier online report said,
“The university will continue to use the nickname Ole Miss, but should consider whether to
limit its use to the context of athletics and school spirit.” The Ledger reports Eppes as clarifying that
“the sixth point does not represent any change in the school’s policy regarding the use of the nickname.”
