just listened to glenn on whtc  he seems very confindent about the game tonight he said they will play well    all man to man dee

Damnit Glenn, listen to me, do you hear me!?   PLAY ZONE!

I will give him the benefit of the doubt because I haven't seen film this year, but from last year's team, I would 1-3-1 them all night and force them to move the ball and hit shots from either 3 or from the side.

Then to switch it up on them, go to 2-3 but start in the 1-3-1 set so they set up improperly.  Trap the wing, it won't be expected.  They'll never get it inside.

But Hope's guards are very good and they should be able to apply good pressure on the ball, which will HOPEfully speed up the pace of play, which is much more in Hope's favor.

I'd be interested in catching a few hands Friday night after the games are over...

Also, i attend games, post graduation.....

If the only people allowed into games were those that hadn't graduated yet, they really wouldn't even need to build stands in most gyms.  They could just put out a few folding chairs under the basket.

I played on the basketball team and got a double tech in the first 5 minutes of a game for both taking the Lord's name in vain while berating a ref for a call and then after that tech I used a string of bad words to boast about what I would do with his wife that night.

It is of course bad behavior, but let me thank you for hands down one of the funniest stories I have read about getting a "T". I know it wasn't funny at the time, but that beats any other reason I have heard for a tech. It could have been the way you told the story... but thanks for the laugh - I needed one this morning.

As for the rest of the issue... OK... we get the point! It has been something I have said for years... show some class, be respectful, and show good sportsmanship. To be honest, this conference as a whole has had a problem with all of these matters when it comes to thier fans. I would argue it is at the top of the Mid-Atlantic when it comes to bad behavior as a conference. It is a same and I certainly wish it would get cleaned up (though, it has come a long way since the SMC days!!!).

Quickly, I want to congratulate CUA and YCP... while their seasons came to end quicker than I thought and we didn't get a chance to see a rematch in the tourney... the teams certainly kept it interesting this past weekend. I think Widener certainly had a great game plan to beat both teams... but it was two of the more exciting games to watch this year.

In high school I told a ref that unless he was going to blow me as well as he was blowing the game, he needed to get off his knees...that got me one.

Any other good T stories out there?

just thought i'd quote myself.

Brings to mind only one thing...

"Quote myself: A white man wants to win first, look good second.  A black man wants to look good first and lose second.

That's the most ridiculous philosophical piece of bullsh*t I've ever heard."

There is no question that this is a game of tempo.  Whoever controls the tempo will win the game.

Albion can't hold a candle to Hope's cuteness. 

Maybe, but I'm willing to trade looks for a certain....morally casual attitude.

And JR three words for you: Miami of Ohio.  Ha-cha-cha-cha.

I'm telling you, go the athletic facility center on campus (I can't remember the name) and you will be floored.  I've never seen so many hot college girls in one place in my life...other than maybe on those videos by Snoop.  But seriously, it's unreal.

Two words: Emory University

I think there are just certain places you don't go, and trashing somebody for being deaf might be one of them.

I agree that part of being a player is having to deal with any and all insults that fans throw, but there's something about that one that rubs me the wrong way.

With that said, it's part of the game.  The problem is when that sign happens to be mentioned on HBO and now everybody in the country thinks Catholic fans are a-holes.

I'm sure if you took a sample of things said to JJ on any given night they could probably compete with that sign, but SportsCenter doesn't call those people out on national tv.

I thought the Gallaudet piece was nice for the school, but I thought it could've gone deeper with some things.  Nonetheless, it was some nice exposure for the school and York and Catholic got their two seconds of air time.

And yes, they did mention those signs, so CUA has a bit of a black eye this morning.

In high school I created a class called "basketball."  My coach was the teacher, except he had another class at the same time, so he never really paid attention to what I was doing.  I found that going home during that hour and thinking about the game was the best use of time and the most rewarding.

If you want to work on your posting skills, you can go back and edit your first post and make it the correct way...unless of course you are trying to pad your stats by posting twice.

I just think it'd be annoying to have to drive a half hour from my hotel to the game...but I guess it's better than hours and hours.

We got a room at the Springfield Courtyard, which I understand is pretty good considering there is also a bowling event in town.

As a heads up, make hotel reservations sooner than later, as there does seem to be a shortage of rooms in the area.  It would probably be annoying to have to drive from your room in Toledo, lol.

How can us non-York people get a piece of that floor??
