Tre pull up with a hamstring? He didn’t roll an ankle.

Did you play for your school? Position?

No.

Being able to jump does not make a basketball player.   Just ask Carlton Cooper and Ovie Dotson, Dotson's pseudo-career with the Globetrotters notwithstanding.

Nic Codie proving that interior mores are not his strength.

I am sure that his mores are better than his moves

[Jordan91]

Vinson coming in.

He’s moving really well though.

Weaver with back to back assists.  Love it.

That’s it. Weaver can jump, so you are secretly living the life of Weaver. Since you could jump, you see yourself in him.

yeah, my typing sucks these days, especially late at night after spending most of the day hacking out a brief.

Nah.  I never spent my time on the floor flying to the rim to finish or draw contact.  I spent most of my career as a pick-up game player laughing that I  was picked first by captains over clearly better players solely because they trusted me to bring the ball up and DISTRIBUTE.

That was my main thing.  Basketball is such an easy game when the point guard keeps eyes open and looks for the guy who is openest and closest to the basket.

Duh.

mores /môr′āz″, -ēz/

noun plural

The accepted traditional customs and usages of a particular social group.

Moral attitudes.

Manners; ways.

Future on the floor--Vinson, Codie, Pryor, and Weaver. 

[Jordan91]

Nice to see Codie not worried about his knee. 

[MarkInAustin]

While ragged, the team did move the ball around without their three best players on the floor.  A sign they are being correctly coached.

Announcer indicated Kent was dressed out in uniform.

Yeah, I saw Johnson assisting Mark from the get-go.  We faced a relatively weak opponent, but it is always good to see 19 assists on 34 made fg instead of Eric Carmen basketball.

NMSt is the level of patsy Texas should be playing.

Yeah, or we could even play a notch above.  Sam Houston State, UTEP, UT-Arlington, and whoa! North Texas.  Even if SFA is down this year, there are a lot of decent programs in the state that we could play instead of utter crap like Arky PB, Chicago State, Delaware State, etc.

We scheduled 6 non-conference games against the bottom 25 teams in Pomeroy.

We should all tell CDC--Never again.

It’s not like those games were packed with fans. And the ones that were there looked as lifeless as Texas in the first half against Connecticut. 

[bierce]

Arky PB and New Orleans still to go.

Sad to think NMSU was our second best and Northwestern State will be our third best OOC opponent in Austin.
