Does it seem like no one wants to shoot?

A question posed recently, who is the go to guy late in games? Mike McCall. No problem with that.

May I be wrong.

33% shooting does not get done on the road.

Poor shot selection.

Getting beat back way too often.

It plans to use existing long-term deals to fill Fox Sports 1 with M.L.B. games, including some from the league division series, beginning in 2014; Nascar Sprint Cup and truck races; U.F.C. matches; future World Cup soccer matches; and Big 12 and Pac-12 football and basketball games, as well as those from a basketball conference that is being formed by the seven Catholic universities that are leaving the Big East. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/05/sports/fox-planning-national-sports-network-it-hopes-can-challenge-espn.html?pagewanted=2&_r=0&hpw Not exactly news but from a different angle.

I would rather not have this distraction now. Rather wait until summer. This team, right now, can do some serious damage in the NCAAs. No need to cloud the heads of the staff, administration etc. with something that will take place after most of the key players have graduated. Not that what I want matters in any way whatsoever.

Take the Bills. . .once NJ starts accepting on line bets, of course.

The NFL shortened the play clock a few years back to get more plays/scoring in a game. It was junked as it was discovered that more rushed plays do not lead to more scoring, and more deliberate play did. That may be true in college BB, it may not. In my opinion, making the defense work longer will lead to a breakdown, leading to an open shot, leading to more scoring.

Is Crews trusting enough in his players to give them the chance to work it out and only call a TO if they can't. Being a upperclassmen led team should afford that luxury. Crews may not know these guys as well as a coach who recruited them at 17 would admittedly.

Butler will have the legitimate excuse that one of their key starters was hurt during this swoon. I think the committee will take that into consideration. Xavier last year wasn't hurt that much last year when their key players were suspended and they lost a few games.

Is there an animal that causes more visceral fear than a spider? Big cats like tigers, panthers, wildcats are scary yes, but not in the same league as a spider.

Only VCU went down, you can only go down from A+. All others stayed the same (eight teams) or went up (seven teams). Something seems amiss with that

If the Bills get up by 15 later in the second half, will the chant of 'over-rated' be in use?

For those Seinfeld fans, Cedric and Bob (who will not wear the ribbon?) may be needed.

I was reading through my church bulletin yesterday and at Our Lady of Lourdes parish in U. City, a mass will be said for Rick Majerus. This coming Sunday at 7:30 am, the beneficiary of the mass intention is Rick Majerus. I'm not on the inside at the parish, so I have no idea how this came about. http://www.ucitylourdes.org/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=XgDNKSrsXdQ%3d&tabid=69&mid=396

A lot of free throw shooting is doing the same thing over and over again. If you are used to seeing teammates at their spots, it may make a difference. Does the high fiving after the first make a difference? Dean Smith teams used to have the quick huddle and that probably helped. I tend to think it matters little if at all, but conceding a rebound doesn't seem quite right either.

Totally agree about the head injury issue. Football very well could become like boxing or UFC. Also, remember when NASCAR was on the rise. These things go in cycles.

A SLU adjunct friend laid out the scenario that would lead to Fr. B's departure-- Tenured profs start cancelling/disrupting class schedules. Parents get wind of it and start putting pressure on the trustees. Trustees then have to make a change. I feel no sympathy for the tenured profs, at all, but they are the ones who can effect change. I don't see this as likely, just a possibility.

Playing Kansas helps the RPI and SOS a lot. It doesn't matter a whole lot if you lose by a comfortable margin. That game will get diluted as the year goes on. The A-10 schedule will buoy the number, though.

Jerry Sloan, great coach that he is, is used to dealing with men. It would be a bridge too far to ask him to succeed with kids. He would like the control he would have, but I don't think he is good fit for college. (George Karl would get the same response. Steve Spurrier, on the other hand, could only treat players like kids, not men.)

+1000, but I would also throw in 'Is it a good fit?' Some people don't do well conforming to all kinds of 'silly' rules. Some people need rules to keep them focused. Every person is different.

SLUH is quite good in non-glamour sports. They win 'national' titles in racquetball. The do quite well in waterpolo and volleyball. If only I had my newsletter, I could fill this list out further.

They are home due to it being Rosh Hashanah. A SLUH grad loves to kid. When I was at SLUH in the mid-80s, enrollment was slightly under 1000. Now, it seems to aim for slightly over 1000. SLUH would seem to have a lock on kids who want college prep Catholic school in the city. SLUH is expanding with facilities. There seems to be an arms race between SLUH, CBC, DeSmet and Chaminade (among others) for facilities. I doubt the middle school angle as the parish schools, where SLUH heavily draws, go through 8th grade. Oak Hill and maybe somewhere else Catholic goes through 6 as a feeder school. (Chaminade has jumped the gun and starts in 6th. Kindly of early admission.)
