    Prayer for Lavert and hope for a fast recovery.  I hadn't seen this but did see that the trade finally went through.  It said their was a problem with his physical but did not mention this

    Why would the trade be finalized? Seems like a bad business decision by the Pacers

    Update from my county in FL

    Thousands of seniors waiting for vaccine

    As of Tuesday, 95,600 seniors have joined Manatee County’s recently launched COVID-19 Vaccine Standby Pool in hopes of receiving an extra layer of protection against the novel coronavirus.

    But, after 5,457 people were vaccinated during the first two weeks of the county’s drive-thru program, distribution of the vaccine has come to a standstill as the county awaited additional supplies.

    “We’ve been grateful to receive the doses we’ve received in Manatee County but at this time there’s not enough supply of the vaccine to meet the extremely high number of people wanting to be vaccinated,” County Administrator Cheri Coryea said in a prepared statement on Monday. “We’ll continue to work with our state and federal officials to expedite the shipment of vaccines to Manatee County in order to minimize the wait for those seniors who want to be vaccinated in our community.”

    The vaccine is provided free of charge for people 65 and over, and no proof of county residency or U.S. citizenship is required in accordance with state guidelines.

    Florida is experiencing vaccine "tourism"

    Gov. Ron DeSantis acknowledges people from around the world are coming to Florida for what he calls "vaccine tourism" and he said Tuesday it's not going to be allowed.

    "We have people from all over the world and the country calling here to see and we’re not doing that, we’re not doing it for tourists and we’re not doing it for interlopers," said DeSantis.

    Indeed, you do not have to show proof of residency to get a vaccine in Florida, just that you are over 65. When asked last month about snowbirds getting the vaccine, Palm Beach County Health Department Director Dr. Alina Alonso said: “They have the same access. It doesn’t matter where you’re coming from -- we want to vaccinate everybody."

    The latest numbers from the state show out of 849,317 vaccines given, more than 3% --31,517 -- were to people from outside of Florida.

    DeSantis and other officials point out many snowbirds actually live in Florida half of the year. What he says he is cracking down on is people flying in just to get the vaccine.

    Guess ketchup kid wasn’t the savior they thought. Uk down 20. They are blaming it on the baseball player that died. Not trying to say that isn’t sad but it wasn’t like he was playing with them this year and likely none of the kids on this team even knew him because they weren’t even on the team last year.

    KY shot 34%, 22% from 3, and had 19 TOs

    AL 14/30 from 3

    In conference, our split is 3 & 3.  Not sure we have anything to complain about there.  Outside of conference, we had 4 neutral site, and only 1 true road game (FSU).  Other teams, like Michigan and Minnesota may have benefitted from a home heavy schedule.  But, with no fans, that's not as meaningful as it would normally be.  I have to say, we probably are who we are at this point.  

    I find it interesting that WI, loaded with 4th and 5th year seniors, played one non-con game outside of the Kohl's center. That was at Marquette (a game WI lost), about 80 miles from Madison. They've played 4 of 5 B1G games at home (road game with PSU was postponed)

    By comparison, Gonzaga has played 6 of 12 neutral site or road games, Baylor 6 of 11 road/neutral and Villanova 7 of 9 road/neutral. And a nod to Mile, CO has played 9 of 12 road/neutral

    And both on the road...The people saying these teams like Maryland, Northwestern, and even Nebraska are "terrible" have to start understanding that there are no easy wins in the B1G...Anyone can beat anyone on a particular night...

    Looking at the NET (I know), NEB is a B1G outlier at 161, although they are now a better team with Walker in the lineup.

    Otherwise, the next lowest is MSU at 84 (think about that), who was ranked in the top 25 last week.

    NW is next lowest at 57, ahead of Richmond (who beat KY) and FL ST.
