The Triple Double In 2:27 Comment Count

Darius Morris had a triple-double against Iowa—just the third in the program's history—and I managed to completely omit any mention of this when I talked about the game. In an effort to repair the fail here it is in its entirety thanks to UMHoops and Josh Houchin:

It got fancy in there for a moment. Almost as if someone was… dancing.

That half court one-handed pass was epic. After either that or the next play with the behind the back pass I would have thrown my remote and done something else as an Iowa fan.

Congrats to Darius. While Novak is the heart and soul of the team, Darius makes us go. Scoring or assisting on 53% of baskets is ridiculous. I just love the way he keeps his head up and his cool about him while he's on the dribble

Very nice achievement but I'm a bit surprised this is only the third time in M's basketball history.  We've had some great players over the years.

The nickname is still there.... seriously? The Butterfly?  I mean I know we have had a discussion on what his name should be before, but the commentators need to get the memo.

Not that it needs to be said again (or does it?) but that kid's good.  Some of those passes were straight out dirty.  If he keeps this up we'll have a solid squad in a year or two.

Also - who thinks Horford will be really good?  He shows some flashes.  I look forward to the day we have Morgan, Metrics and Horford all playing as upperclassmen.

The butterfly nickname has to go!  If you have to explain your nickname every single game (and you're the only one that goes within ten feet of it), it's time to rethink things.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but my only concern about D-Mo is that he is reeeeallly right-handed. I'm frankly a bit surprised that the scouting report doesn't seem to have caught up to him.

On the other hand, if he's wrecking shit with just one hand, imagine what he'll look like after another off-season of working on his left. His upside will immediately vault from whatever it is now to Shaun Livingston-like proportions. Let's just hope he doesn't get drafted by the Clippers and then be forced to have a catastrophic knee injury, which seems to be contractually required if you play for the Clips.

Well, that was very professional and considerate of you to admit your mistake and not only make up for it but make up for it in a big way. Kudos to you and I hope that you will inspire others to do the same.
