"Israel Moody" sounds like the name of a regimental officer in the Continental Army. It's also the name of a freshman forward who is our team's leading scorer this season, a player who scores 18 points and grabs 6 rebounds as we beat the Musketeers tonight.
Sixth man
John Cannon (16p/6r),
Kai Smith (10p/7a/4s), and
Dan O'Halloran (9p/9r) also play well.
Nick O'Brien sinks a three and scores 6 points in 4 minutes.
Record: 6-0.

@#1 Villanova 87, Marquette 38[/b]
It's 50-13 at halftime, as we can't miss and Marquette can't score. Our defense limits the Golden Eagles' scoring opportunities, and they can't seem to make shots when they're open.
We record assists on 26 of our 37 made baskets, with
Kai Smith recording 9 and leading scorer
John Cannon (22p/2b) collecting 6.
Nick Spencer (15p)
Israel Moody (14p/4s),
Zak Marshall (7p/10r/3b), and
Chris Wilson (10p) score or rebound in double figures.
We attempt 10 threes and make 9 of them; Cannon goes 4-for-4 from behind the arc.
Record: 7-0.

More of the same, as we hold the Red Foxes under 40 points, force 25 turnovers, make 63 percent of our shots with 24 assists on 33 baskets, and make over half of a limited number of three-pointers.
We're third in the nation in scoring and also in points allowed.
Record: 8-0.
