Emptying the Notebook: Lobo freshman Birima Seck’s beautiful, pointless game

Here are some extra notes, quotes, tweets, stats or any other odds & ends I could empty out of the old notebook after Monday’s 88-63 Lobos win over Western New Mexico University in the Pit:

Seck’s beautiful, pointless night

Birima Seck fell to the court hard.

With 9 minutes, 14 seconds left in the first half of Monday night’s game against Division II Western New Mexico, the 6-foot-11 freshman from Senegal stayed down on the south end of Bob King Court as the team trainer and head coach Richard Pitino tended to him.

It was the last thing Pitino wanted to see for any of his players in a game that was scheduled as a tune-up for the upcoming two-day Las Vegas Invitational on Thursday and Friday.
