NCAA tourney last year. Elite 8 run in 78. That’s all I could find.

The line on this game is Charlotte +8.5

Seems about right if you ask me. I think it will be a relativly low scoring game. Wilderness will be given the job to try and stop Harden. If we can do a good job on him and keep below his average we make it interesting.

Well considering Lutz likes to keep Wilderness on the bench for most of the first half, somebody else is going to have to step up tonight.

We need to move our program out west, we get more respect from their local paper than our own and we’re 3,000 miles away
 and playing like ass.

He’s a lefty. Dwayne Wade II?


i hate jimmy dykes

He seems to play a lot more like a refined Eric Gordon than Dwyane Wade IMO.

He doesn’t have the athleticism of Wade, but a much smoother looking jumper.

Not sure if this has been posted yet.

[B]ABC Phoenix: “No. 14 Arizona State in action against Charlotte”

His H.S. coach was hired 2 months before he signed. Will four year contracts for high school coaches hiring on as assistants become the norm?

“Herb kind of took a risk,” Pera said. “James kept his word to me. It was certainly a compliment that James said he’d follow me, but I didn’t hold a gun to his head, either. It doesn’t bother me. I’m not naive enough to think I was hired solely on my coaching rĂ©sumĂ©. I’ve won state titles in two states. I coached with two different kinds of kids in two different styles of basketball. It doesn’t bother me. It’s worked out great. To be around Derek and James for this amount of time, it’s been a blessing.”

A lot of respect for us from ASU players and coaches. I hope we show up and live up to the expectations. We are better than we have shown.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think this may be the first 49ers game in HD.

Observer claims we’re getting 5 1/2. If that’s correct, Vegas knows something I don’t know. Lose to ODU and App, beat Ariz. St. Makes sense.
