There was actually quite a bit of basketball played in the last month from Nov 8 thru Dec 8 (XL, Gampel, MSG (2), Prudential). Now the slow period is not just during finals week but extends until end of the year - just 2 games after Dec 8, until Jan 5. Hopefully gives the team time to work on limiting turnovers and defense.

Looks like I missed the 12/18 vs Drexel and Jan 2 vs USF .... oops.

Ok, so just another 1.5 weeks of no games after Nova.

Aside from the 2014 'ship, I think we all agree that Ollie did a tremendous job improving the academic standing of this program. I was just thinking that this is the only box that Hurley has yet to check - really hoping our guys have a strong showing and continue the momentum.

I think it comes at a good time. It gives the team an opportunity to exhale a little bit after a couple tough losses.

Saturday.
Let’s say, hypothetically, he doesn’t meet the requirements. He would need to retake sometime in the spring then they would average the 2 scores together? Correct me if I’m wrong.

Gah! It always feels like the most interminable gap between games this time of year. Who needs finals, I just wanna watch some BBall.
Not everyone can go to UNC
All other schools have classes and finals
(I think)

And that really saved our program from almost falling off a cliff.

With 13 kids on the team and 1or 2 maybe making the NBA, I think it is good if the boys learn something.
