Today marks the third Tuesday in a row that I took one of the boys to Hilton for a basketball game.  Tonight Maxwell was the lucky kid, and he saw the Cyclones defeat the Golden Eagles of Southern Miss, 73-45.  This is the 12th time that I have taken Maxwell to a men's basketball game.  He was a good boy for the entire game tonight.  He didn't fall asleep or anything, and he was even participating in some of the cheering / chanting.  We split a popcorn, and he even got another picture with Cy!

As for the game, the Cyclones were firmly in control from about halfway through the opening period onward.  I would say that Tyrese Haliburton was the player of the game, as he scored 12 points to go along with 9 assists.  He was joined in double figures scoring by Solomon Young (14) and Prentiss Nixon (13).  Southern Miss as a team went 0-16 from three point range, and generally they did not look very good. 

Our first scoreboard picture of the season.  Cyclones 73, Golden Eagles 45.

Hi Cy!
