New arena at Tarleton State too!
Outcome basically decided at halftime.
Fake news about Chad Baker-Mazara.
Looks like the wasted season in Chapel Hill last year was an anomaly for the one-time Niner recruit.
Misused.
Program prestige isn’t everything. Fit is more important.
So that’s where the 2022 Memphis commit (but never played a minute for the Tigers) ended up. Quite a drop for the one time 5* prospect who briefly played HS hoops in Mecklenburg County. And his 30 pts still weren’t enough to overcome visiting UC Santa Barbara last night.
Was scratching my head last year that we didn’t recruit this local hoopster (Carmel Christian) and latest on the now 2nd year UNC Asheville Bulldog only intensifies my bewilderment.
Missing out on local players is a staple of this program.
Looks like LBJ is getting CP to put the positive spin on son Bryce. Geez! ![]()
Always think of the old Boston Garden as the Celtics original home court when in actuality it was the second.
The arena, which opened in 1910, is the oldest active men’s basketball arena in the nation. It was original home of the Celtics and Bruins.
And speaking of Boston sports venues, been watching #7 BYU vs #3 UConn at TD Garden. Huskies seem so far ahead of the Cougars as a team it’s hard to believe this is a top 10 showdown. And must be using NBA refs since it’s an NBA arena (and that’s not a positive observation on officiating). Plus I’m reminded yet again of another player from NC that we didn’t recruit evrn though he played high school hoops in the QC and nearby Lincolnton.
Of course, after switching over to football then coming back to hoops, BYU has made it a game at the under 4 TO in the second half. Silas Demary from Raleigh doing his best to keep UConn ahead of freshman phenom AJ Dybantsa & Co.
Addendum - Final: UConn 86, BYU 84
Well, with the #2 Gamecocks handily beating the #8 Trojans in LA, looks like the “Real SC” is in South Carolina!
Martelli pretty much speaking for every non-P5 not named Gonzaga.
It was in Wades contract, he had to schedule VCU if he left for another school.
