It's Not All About Assignees

At 6:51 p.m. I received a press release about Byron Mullens and Mustafa Shakur getting re-assigned to the Tulsa 66ers. Talk about waiting until the last minute. Perhaps they were trying to catch Iowa napping? A little April surprise of their own?

Suddenly Tulsa was Oklahoma City again. Three NBA-assignees. Jeff Trepagnier was just 1-for-8 from the field and the Energy's starting point guard had six times as many rebounds as their starting center.

The game was played Tulsa.

If you didn't see the box, you'd probably think Tulsa won.

Yeah.... No.

Iowa's the #1 seed for a reason folks.

And just because players get sent down from the NBA doesn't mean they're the reason a team wins, especially when they don't.
