He seems to work quickly, but not sure if he’ll have it up in the AM after a 930p weeknight tip

Kyle Macy played at Kentucky in the seventies and then for the Suns in the Association. Tons of kids my age loved to emulate his free throw routine, which involved him putting the ball on the floor and wiping his palms on his socks before he shot.

The biggest difference, I imagine, is that Tennessee’s program has more continuity and experience than Virginia’s, at the moment. Three of their top six were in their primary rotation last year. Zeigler and Mashak have two years of experience at UT prior to this year, and four of their top seven were in the program last year. Additionally, all but one in the primary rotation are upperclassmen, and there are no true or redshirt frosh earning significant minutes. Virginia is going to be considerably younger and less experienced than Tennessee.

Ziegler and Mashack are both seniors with three years of experience at Tennessee. Ziegler has played heavy minutes since he was a frosh. Mashack since he was a sophomore.

Gainey and Igor are true seniors. Lanier is a Covid senior. And okpara is a junior with 2 years experience in the big 10.

Definitely an experienced team.

Maybe the issue is that Bliss demands an orange jersey in order to play.

Never heard box nasty before.

OBE I saw for the very first time today on an ad for an upcoming show about the CIA called The Agency.

I think at least some non-military people might know what an MRE is, just by watching war movies or TV shows.

I actually never heard OBE until I left the Army - very familiar with box nasties though.

Just a heads up for anyone who has a 247 subscription, you get Paramount Plus for free.

There is a caveat though… if you get 247 on any sort of deal… like 50% off or 3-months free… free Paramount Plus cannot be activated.

JP Estrella not practicing. They will get Dunbar back though. Chaz Lanier has also been limited with migraines this week apparently.

Their front court is really limited both talent and depth size outside Igor. Ok para is a long armed fella though and their bigs can get some off their guards breaking down our defense

This guy does a good write up of the upcoming tourneys. The 2024 preseason tournament mega-preview - by Will Warren

Here’s his take on Virginia, interesting to see what he notes as weaknesses.

ā€œGetting demolished on the boardsā€ is a bit of an exaggeration I think. We struggled against Nova, especially keeping them off the offensive glass but were +16 combined in our other two games. Those were two bad teams but I think it’s premature to give us that label, even if there are legitimate concerns.

I get the doubts though overall.

Ridiculous analysis. No way we have more than. 4% chance of winning 2 games, according to the advanced advanced metrics.
