Message: [QUOTE="bballbeadle, post: 5554199, member: 548"] Thanks for the write up, Tom, and thanks for working the polls. 4 a.m.? Yeesh! The students filled 2 1/2 sections and they were loud and energized, just like the rest of the crowd. And guess what? So was the team! What a happy congruence! The crowd was loud in appreciating the players - the defense in particular - rather than being loud to encourage them to DO BETTER. The team came out doing better, full of vigor and determination. I don’t know if the crowd understood that we had to kill poor Binghamton because of the NET and Quad crapola that the tournament now relies on, or if they just took great joy in seeing the guys play well. In any case, there was an energetic synergy that Captain J would have greatly appreciated. (I wonder where he is now?) I feel so sad for JJ and his body, which seems to betray him over and over. Hopefully, he will heal quickly. Like Tom, greatly relieved that George played the way he was rumored to have played. The alley oops to Kyle were spectacular and something we haven’t seen in years. During one time out I noticed that Red was being very forceful, and it was good to see. He made a flat swiping motion with his hand over and over again, something he clearly wanted the team to do but I have no idea what. I walked during halftime but noticed when peeking at the court that Red had the kids in a semi-circle shooting 3’s. It was great fun to see Kiyan step up. I wanted to see Sadiq more, but his time will come. Was very happy that the walk to the Dome was so pleasant. No rain or wind! During the game I had several friends text me about pouring rain, high winds, and hail! But the walk back to the car was perfectly fine and even pleasant. Whew! To quote a certain someone, I am pleased. [/QUOTE]
