MANEUVER’S

In Lincoln Park: It took Sophomore transfer Chris Harrison-Docks two foul shot’s with

under 20 seconds remaining to pull out a close ball game, giving DePaul 78-72 victory over

Robert Morris. Eli Cain netted 21 points for the Blue Demons before fouling out with 2:57

left. Robert Morris from the Northeast Conference received a game high 26 points from

talented Six Foot SiX Sophomore guard Isaiah Still, Sunday night.

In Evanston: Vic Law continued his hot start with 26 points as Northwestern defeated

Eastern Washington 86-72 at Welsh-Ryan Arena, Tuesday night. Junior point guard Bryant

McIntosh added 18 points and 7 assists, while Six Foot Eight Sophomore Dereck Pardon (12

points) looks like a promising front court prospect, someone to watch during Big 10 play.

Law, a 6’7” red-shirt Sophomore had been sidelined all last season with injury, looks healthy

and primed for a huge season. He led the Wildcat’s in scoring the first 2 games. This 2016-

17 campaign will have Chris Collins Wildcat’s in the NCAA tournament.

In Chicago: Sophomore forward Dikembe Dixon scored a season high 31 points and

Freshman guard tandem of Marcus Ottey 15, and Tarkus Ferguson 13 points guided the

Flames to a 86-78 victory over Texas-San Antonio spoiling De LaSalle grad George

Willborne’s homecoming. UIC’s Dixon, a 6’7” slithery scorer already has a flock of NBA

scouts tracking him, looks to be one of our finer young players we have among our state

colleges. The youthful Flames will be exciting to follow this season, especially in Horizon

League play.

East St. Louis Six Foot 10 Heart Throb Jeremiah Tilmon ended the suspense. He’s heading to

the University of Illinois. Tilmon a nationally ranked center should provide instant stability

paroling the paint on both ends for The Illini the next few years. We are all exuberant about

his arrival in Illini country.

Evanston four-star recruit Nojel Eastern announced he would also venture into the Big 10.

Eastern, choose Matt Painter’s Purdue program, leaving the likes of Michigan State, Ohio

State, DePaul and Seton Hall with another scholarship to tuck away. The 6 foot 6 guard

should fit in well at Purdue, stay tuned…
