A Sea Of Red

Well its the second time through the schedule and we get to host the VMI Keydets. Last time up in Lexington we rallied from 18 down to win by 8 110-102. Once Sly gets over Texas losing yesterday I figure he'll give this thread the usual rundown

I'd add Stan Okoye as probably the player to watch right now. He's posted four straight 20-10 games.

Make it five straight. He had another 20-10 night tonight against SVU.

Kyle had a huge game (triple double) in our win in Lexington. It's going to be a real challenge to beat them without him.

And Carter played almost no minutes that game; I'm looking for Perez & Konan to step up and have a great game at home.

This game is now on MASN at 9. Is tip-off still scheduled for 7?

Nick caught up with Carter and Coach Layer yesterday to talk about the Radford win and look ahead to VMI. The interview with Carter is pretty cool. He's very open and very candid about his growth and development.

Thanks, that's what I figured.

Though I'll admit I checked both schools' Web sites to make sure they didn't change the game time without telling anyone.

Wow, you know I am looking forward to that HCYA story.

Anybody have a score update?

I hope not. I'd like to be surprised when I catch the replay.

27-24 7 left in the half good guys

couldn't help myself

We lead 42-37 at the half.

We have a David Minaya sighting.

you beat me to it. he's playing well tonight.

Holy junk we come out on fire.

something that stands out to me so far... we have no 3's made. and have only take 3 from beyond the arch. and burrus and konan have 16 and 14 respectively.

jesse and antwan with double double's

How many 3's are they going to jack up?
