From what I could gather on their website the Delta Devils are 1-2 on the year (losses to Washington State and GOnzaga and a win over Champions Baptist). Their leading scorer is a guy named D'Angelo Jackson a 6'1 guard (11.3 ppg). their bigs are 6'8" (Amos Studivant, Sophomore), 6'9" (Jason Holmes, Sophomore who is actually from CHicago) and 6'9" (Jacob Blakenship, Junior). They shoot about 35 percent from 3.

Like all other SWAC teams, they load up on guarantee games in hoops to fund their athletic departments. Most SWAC fans don't even pay attention until league play rolls around.

I used to cover plenty of Delta Devils games back in my past life when they would visit TSU & Prairie View. Expect lots of running and sloppy play with some amazing dunks sprinkled in. Of course, the same could be said for nearly every SWAC game.

NO mention of the game in today's local fishwrap. Is Lang on VACATION???

I guess I'll have to rely on this souce instead:

From the looks of their scores it is a winnable game. Hopefully we will have a good shooting night.

I emailed in a preview box. Apparently they just didn't run it. Typical.

To do list:

Wake up. Check
Set LU up for failure. Check.
Look at LU box score after the game.
Follow flow chart on how to proceed.

Did LU win? - Yes - Congratulate on win but be sure to make light of it.

No

Be sure to make the AD look bad in some way.

Right now I don't care how bad the team we're playing is. They're a Division I team and if we can pick up a win here, get some confidence, and win again tomorrow we'll be in good shape heading into conference play on Thursday.
