As an R-MC fan, kudos to the Tigers, particularly Turner King.  Great performance.

It was a hard fought game, but the Jackets were outplayed and frankly outcoached in this one.  Our shooting was woeful and right now, unlike HSC and Mr. King, the team seems to be missing a leader - someone who will take charge and put the team on his back.

I am not sure though if that is a player issue and coaching issue.  I understand we have a deep team, with players deserving of time.  But I frankly was thoughly baffled by the rotations Coach Davis used last night.  Players seemed to be coming in and out constantly which looked to me defeated the purpose - no flow, no momentum ever was built.  Very disjointed performance.

This team has seemed to disregress from the beginning of the season - not sure why whether it is fatigue or lack of confidence, but something seemed to be missing last night.

Hopefully they can take stock of themselves and begin to right the ship.  Right now it looks like unless they win the Tournament, we will have another 20 win season with no NCAA appearance.

First time post but have enjoyed the board this season.  Although we lost to the Tigers, having seen the progress of the young Jackets this year from first game to last, very proud of all the effort and the job Pedro and staff did with these kids.  He played a bunch of young kids, including 10 Freshmen on both sides of the ball so the upside of the team is huge.  Rumor is our QB is going to follow the Sedler route and come back for a 5th year - has one year of eligibility left.  Will see.

My answer to the question obviously is Ted Keller - great Coach and a great man.  A member of the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame, I know he was a very strong supporter of Pedro as he rebuilt the program from scratch.  He and Stockeley Fulton, although bitter rivals, were also best of friends.  I remember how devastated Ted was with the loss of Coach Fulton.  His death came as a surprise this year and he is missed by all in the R-MC community.

Hopefully the ODAC will remember Ted in some way.

Great holiday to all.
