Basketball Thoughts


Happy Birthday to Colby Merchant- friend of the blog.

1: Benedictine hosts its first state playoff game in almost 40 years on Friday. I like the idea of having it at Cannon Court. It's not about making sure everyone who wants to go can get in or making sure everyone at the game is comfortable. The environment at Cannon Court on Friday will be a big advantage for our team.

2: The Big East is the nation's best basketball conference. Shitty conference overall though. Depaul, Providence, St. John's, Seton Hal, Marquette, and Villanova really bring it in football. Notre Dame chooses not to associate itself with the Big East in football. I know it's all about money and being sub par in other sports doesn't mean it isn't the best basketball conference, but something about the whole thing seems a little off to me.

3: Florida assured itself a tournament birth last night. Congrats to the greatest basketball coach ever for making the tournament for the first time since 2007!

4: I averaged over 23 points and 10 rebounds for the season in intramural basketball at GSU this semester. The fact that they keep stats is pretty cool. I'll say that B league here isn't as strong as B league in Athens but C league here is much better than C league in Athens. Not sure about A league. In conclusion, there is no clear difference between the level of play in intramural basketball at GSU and UGA.

5: Georgia makes the Sweet 16 next year if everyone stays and that dude sitting out this year is what they say he is.

Allow us to be honest for a moment. The entire reason for that post was to mention your stats.

Shane said...

Also be honest. Were those stats from B League or co-ed?

Don't get me wrong. The stats are impressive even if you are playing against 4th graders. Just wouldn't want people to think that B league is made up of, let say, 3rd graders.

Charlie Dodson said...

Stats were from co-ed. 19 and 9 for B league.

Weazle said...

co-ed...that means you were playing girls basketball right?

Charlie Dodson said...

And guys.

JJBA said...

Dustin Ware should play co-ed

Weazle said...

if there are girls playing, that means it is girl's basketball...even if it is on a show called "Hang Time"

While we're discussing basketball in here, I should mention that there's been a change of plans.

See you at Cannon Court at Historic Walsh Fieldhouse tomorrow.

Colby Merchant? I don't give a shit about cheese salesmen, no matter what you call them.
