Sorry for the two week hiatus.  I had a death in my family, putting me as the executor.  Thankfully, still be able to get each day done in time to get to games.

Triple doubles are rare.  Triple doubles for sophomores are even rarer.  Triple doubles in a category other than points, rebounds and assists rarer still.  Putting up 32 points, 20 rebounds and 11 blocks, Flory Bidunga, 6'10" sophomore center for Kokomo did just that.  All of that in Kokomo's win over Richmond, earning Flory Bidunga Courtside Indiana's Player of the Week for the week of February 7-12.
