Monday, November 7th, 2022

 Tonight I am happy because college basketball season has officially tipped-off.  I took Nolan over to Hilton to watch the Cyclones open their 2022-23 season with a convincing 88-39 victory over the IUPUI Jaguars.  

In case you are wondering, IUPUI stands for Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.  I'm not sure who thought that one up, but what a dumb name.  The Jaguars compete in the Horizon league.  

Anyways, the game was not very competitive from the start, but it was fun to see all of the new faces on this years team.  One of the new faces, Jaren Holmes, led the Cyclones with 23 points.  He was joined in double-figures scoring by Gabe Kalscheur (16), and Osun Osunniyi (10).  Both Holmes and Osunniyi are transfers from St. Bonaventure.  Osunniyi seems to be a nice defensive presence on the inside, as he had a couple of blocks today.

This was Nolan's 27th men's basketball game that I have taken him to.  The last men's game that he attended was the win against West Virginia last year.  

Iowa State 88, IUPUI 39.

The Clone Cones are huge!
