As I was lamenting the fact that Oregon Ducks transfer players LJ Figueroa and Aaron Estrada could not play due to transfer rules, I just learned  that the NCAA granted LJ Figueroa eligibility to play immediately.  Great!  He will be in the line-up when the Ducks play Seton Hall on Friday.  Still waiting to hear if Estrada can play, also.  And hearing about the loss of Will Richardson for 6-8 weeks due to surgery didn't help either.

Although it had no bearing on the outcome of last night's game, Missouri had two players that were transfers who were eligible to play.  Drew Buggs played 9 minutes, 0-1 from the field, 2 assists and one personal foul.  He played last year at Hawaii.

Ed Chang played at Salt Lake Community College last year.  He did not appear in last nights game.

Another interesting fact about the Tigers roster, they have three players named SMITH!  Mitchell, Dru and Mark.  Good luck to the play-by-play announcer with that.
