The men begin today. The time changes this weekend (Spring forward). We play Saturday. FU/WCU play the late game and get one less out of rest due to the artificial movement of the clock before our game. I love it. I hope they can’t sleep too.

Just learned some of the weird rules this morning. They are only allowed 13 players on the court at the shoot around. Won’t let them on the court until the exact minute the shoot around starts.

There's 3 Mercer players doing stretches on the baseline and the shoot around clock hasn't started yet. It's at 57 minutes and it's still 7 minutes before the doors open for the next session.
The entire Citadel team has taken the floor.
What rules?
Balls did not hit the floor until the clock started. So they adhered in that aspect.

What is the rationale for that? Apparently back in the day some team accused another team of practicing past the alotted time. So they put rules in to place

The cliff notes version of our team, from an ETSU fan's perspective, the last time they played at our place: www.csnbbs.com/thread-987106-post-19493088.html#pid19493088If I didn't know better, I would have said this was written by either our Chalk Talk coach or the HC himself, since I have heard these same phrases in person in The Pete.

Boys got done with the shoot around at unc Asheville about an hour ago. Had a 7:00 shoot around. Most are just walking around the hotel. They look confident. It’s almost go time

Win and advance. Win ugly, win pretty, win by 1, just win. Not just because Samford is my team and I want another game, but also because it makes the whole tournament that much more interesting. I’ll watch the other games more likely than not, at least parts, with more investment. I need a break from the cutthroat world of business and litigation. I need to get irritated with the TV and the refs and hate on some other teams players and the intoxicating thrill of last second heroics and victory vicariously through 18-23 year old young men playing a meaningless game. It just means more.
Something Butkuss taught me, always bet on the team with the best guards and the most seniors. Mercer is loose, probably the hottest team right now, they have nothing to lose. A lot of people are picking them in an upset. We’ll see. We have a lot of key players playing in their potentially last game. It just means more. We have the best all around PG in the league. We aren’t going down without a fight.

Survive and advance. No doubt.

We have one of the largest, if not largest group of fans, Samford has had in Asheville. Mercer fans are slow in arriving.
