Gonna be watching at the house Friday night. Got kid duty after work, so I'll be lightly pre-pre-gaming until bedtime and then the real pre-game begins. Can't wait!
If you tell me where you're staying, I can try to recommend a place. Key word "try"...I live pretty far out from the city now, so I'm not as knowledgeable as I used to be.
We are leaving the kids at home so staying up right until 9 pm will be a challenge. We are staying by Vandy and my buddy owns the Listening Room and he said that is an option. I am open to suggestions though. Thanks!

Anyone watching in Nashville? Or know of a good spot to watch the game?

My 8 year old was in the car with me when we got the robo call from Ford. He is on Spring Break and that made his day. He walked in and told my wife that Coach Ford called him. It was pretty cool.

Do the Hokies have a black jersey?

Nothing new that I'm aware of recruiting-wise. He's averaging 26.7 PPG, second in the metro area (Chris Hill from Brentwood averages 27.3), but his season just ended against Ft. Zumwalt South in districts. He scored just 13 in each of Liberty's last two games. He did just pass 1,000 points for his career, though.
SEMO is still the only offer. He should be interesting to monitor this spring/summer AAU season.
Thanks! His brother seems to be getting more minutes the last few weeks after being glued to the bench most of his freshman year.

Pistol-any movement on Jayce Catchings? All I heard is the SEMO offer.

I just wonder if coaches are telling their players to, not necessarily flop, but if there is hard contact, sell it. I also wonder if when our guys are playing against one another in practice, no one is selling it, and instead admirably playing through the contact. This might make it hard for the offensive player to know how much contact is too much contact in a game. Just a thought.
VCU did a great job of selling contact. Maybe I just don't notice but I always find myself questioning why our guys don't. TI is actually not bad at it.
-
Some of those TO's could easily have been called fouls on VCU. The refs let them get away with a lot which doesn't help our cause. I can't say I watched the entire game (home alone with my 3 boys) but I didn't see any really careless bone-headed TOs which have seem to become our MO this season.

Olive and Oak is named for the 2 sons of the 2 owners who both died of congenital heart disease both just over a year old. We played the World Record baseball game for the Mighty Oaks Heart Foundation a couple of games ago. That charity is named for Oak Ortyl who's dad Greg is one of the Olive and Oak owners. He played in the Guinness game and I believe he played baseball for SLU.
Greg did play at SLU before me, great guy.

Maybe, but I thought our defense pretty much sucked last night. Way too many open looks from 3 and easy dunks and if Duq had been at all decent we would have lost by 20.
McBoom 2.0 kept us in the game, if he could shoot a lick it would have been over at the 10 minute mark.

That's a tough one. I've heard that Cottleville bunch comes loaded for bear
They ran the Princeton Offense for most of the game but largely ineffective. They managed to hit their first bucket with 2 minutes remaining in the 2nd half.
26-2 throttling.

Coaching my oldest son's b-ball team tonight at 6. A CYC 3rd grade powerhouse. We have cross county rival St. Joseph of Cottleville. Not 1 but 2 St. Joey's getting hammered tonight.

On how this effects SLU, I think DePaul is one of the worst places he could have gone for SLU. I don't want St. Louis kids viewing DePaul as a viable, close to home option. This gives local kids a reason to pay attention to DePaul next season.
I would doubt there are many local kids ready to follow the path of CAG.

Just curious, does a player going to a school with quarters have to be deem eligible each quarter or just semester?

It's on ESPN+ but I'm not sure what local broadcast options might be.
Thanks!

Are we getting TV tomorrow night?

I think the issue for him is his shorts are too small and tight. They are prolly causing circulation problems with the boys and throwing off his equilibrium, therefore affecting his shot.

this style hat is vintage now, or so I’m told.
That hat is just wrong.

I honestly think it’s something unfixable with French. His shot has a great look to it except it’s offline. Obviously as a MBM I have no clue why it’s happening.
Then move your feet to make it "on-line"? At this point it is all mental with these guys.

SEMO offer, but nothing else yet. Kid can really score. I'm interested to see where things go for him. Haven't been able to verify SLU interest.
His brother has gotten in 3 games this season as a freshman at Harvard. He's got a good 3 inches in height over his younger brother.
Thanks! Yes, Cale hasn’t been getting many minutes yet but hopefully will soon. My parents are pretty close friends with their mom and stepdad. I’ve been trying to get to a Liberty game but haven’t yet.

Pistol-do you know much about the recruiting of Jayce Catchings at Liberty? Just curious.
-
I grew up 15 minutes from Sunrise and most of my high school graduating class went to Florida State. There will be a lot more Seminoles in the stands.

Chaifetz has a home in Miami. Team is heading there this afternoon/evening.
Delray Beach I thought. It’s right next to Box’s bungalow.

Was at Vandy this past weekend and to get to the baseball outfield seats you need to walk through the basketball arena.
I think this is Matt Ryan putting up shots. Cool little gym.
