    As an aside, Omar Payne has started every game for UCF this season and is playing pretty well.

    His stats look pretty close to what they were the two years at UF.

    His per-40 minutes stats are pretty solid. About 14 points, 10 rebounds, 3 1/2 blocks, 2 1/2 steals, 65% field goal percentage, and 75% from the free-throw line. He is only playing 15 minutes per game although he has started all 12 games. we will see how he does against a Big 12 schedule.

    7.7 fouls per 40 minutes, too. He can’t stay on the floor. Or doesn’t want to.

    There are reasons why he only plays 15 minutes per game. That’s one of them.

    really? I had no idea he left JU? I don’t see him on Delaware published roster and he isn’t appearing in box score. Did this just happen?

    Also, I see no sign of Osifo having played a game for any D1 team this season (and he’s not on the Delaware roster).

    I do see Niels is 7.7% from 3, though.

    Let’s be perfectly clear about something. In the alternative world that I live in, Osifo and Lane are both starting for Delaware. In other words, I don’t have a clue as to where I saw, or how I imagined that Osifo was playing for Delaware. I can make a few guesses though. First, it is possible that this was a prank pulled on me by, Jehovah, Satan, or some other supernatural being. Second, it’s possible that I was looking at box scores, nodded off for a minute and had a dream that I saw a box score with Lane and Osifo both in the starting lineup for Delaware. I do occasionally have dreams of box scores. However, almost all of the time that I have those dreams, they involve the Gators having beaten New College by the score of 173 to 2, with Murphree Hall as the leading scorer for the Gators, Billy Donovan III as the coach of the Gators, Gatorrick as the coach of New College, and New College’s leading scorers with one point apiece being Chris Rufo and Richard Corcoran.

    In conclusion, with one exception, I hereby retract every post that I’ve ever made on Gator Country, including that freshman, Joakim Noah, will become one of the greatest Gator players of all time and that I discovered a 6th grade girls team coach who is a worse coach than Mike White. However, I am not retracting any of my posts about the greatness of Ques Glover, who, unfortunately, appears to be gone for the season at Kansas State without playing a single game.

    I think you had an Osifo flashback after going to a Graham Hancock ayahuasca
    reception.

    Thank you. Unfortunately, it does appear that Ques has blown out his knee again. Hopefully, he gets the necessary surgery and comes back for a final season at Kansas State or elsewhere.
