I just heard Spencer Heywood interviewed on a Denver radio station. He called Will Robinson his father and said he would have been a Redbird had Will been hired a year earlier.

Wow. What a one-two punch he and Doug would have been.

Interviewed by Scott Hastings.

Dedric Boyd scored 7 points in 16 minutes off the bench in Tennessee State's exhibition. 3-8 overall including 1-3 from 3. TSU opens at Alabama A&M tonight.

DJ Horne started and scored 15 points in 18 minutes in Az State's exhibition. 4 for 5 from 3. Seems they moved him off the ball. Zero assists. Az State hosts Portland tonight.

In Utah's exhibition, Mahorcic played 15 minutes off the bench. 4 points, 6 rebounds. Utah plays ACU tonight.

Rey Idowu scored 12 points and grabbed 7 rebounds off the bench for Tulsa in their exhibition. Tulsa opens against NW State on Wednesday.

That's all the former Redbirds I can think of that are playing D1 right now.

Thanks! Totally forgot about him. He started and played 29 minutes, collecting 9 rebounds. As we saw starting to develop towards the second half of his last season here, he hit the 3-ball. 3 for 5.

Boyd vs Alabama A&M: Team-high 17 points (on 15 shots) in 25 minutes off the bench. 82-73 loss
Horne vs Portland: 11 points (on 9 shots) in 25 minutes off the bench. 76-60 win.
Dusan vs ACU: 11 points and 8 rebounds in 16 minutes off the bench. 70-56 win.
Fisher vs Rice: Fouled out with 6 points (8 shots) and 3 rebounds. Started in the 82-63 loss.

I'm not planning on doing this for every game, just as time allows and I'll check in every so often.

Frankly, I'm surprised by Dusan's production, but I don't know the system they use . . . so it may have suited him better. Horne's numbers aren't surprising. I wonder, though, if he'll stay if he's not a starter.

Buzzer-beater past half court! UC Riverside shocks Arizona State
Buzzer-beater past half court! UC Riverside shocks Arizona State - ESPN Video via @ESPN App http://espn.com/app

Dj Horne and Arizona St upset by UC Riverside last minute shot. DJ 1 for 7 shooting and 0-4 from 3. 2 points
Watched a little bit off and on, but did catch the end. Horne did not look like a happy camper at the time out at the end, not on the floor for the end, standing behind the team looking PO'd.

Apparently Josh Jefferson plays for Middle Tennessee State, who won their game in the other division of the Cancun Challenge. JJ played 31 minutes, scored 2 points on 6 shots. 1 assist, 1 board.

DJ Horne had a great performance tonight. 20 points on 7-10 shooting. Would have been very interesting to see him play the 2 guard with Freeman handling the point and the transformed Reeves at the 3 (yes I do understand Freeman probably would not have been recruited or would not have committed if Horne did not leave).

Was thinking the same thing about DJ. I have never been a fan of Josiah starting. I would replace his 30% shooting with Schmitt. I am confident in a starting lineup of:
Freeman
Reeves
Lewis
Chapman
Schmitt

I would go mostly zone.

Have watched DePaul a few times this year, and noticed the other day, on the sidelines (in addition to assistant coach Paris Parham), "Special Assistant to the Head Coach" Mr. Rob Judson. Similar to his gig with Coach Wojo at Marquette the last few years.
