Just came back from watching a few games over at The Pit and The PEB.  Some good teams were there.  Spotted was SMU's head coach looking at what I guessed was one of the boys from SOC. 

I didn't spot any of the NT coaching staff, though I am sure they were there. 

Also..............check out the new lighted signs as you walk in The Pit.  A really good looking couple is featured in one of them 

I jotted some things down in my program, but don't have that program with me now.  I will write some things I saw in a bit. 

That's good, we will probably see those names pop up somewhere before long.

Was the 6'3 Brown a point guard?

My team played a couple of games last night and we had a post make 6 bank shots (all from the high post area near the free throw line).

One note about that game (because I know everyone cares).  Both teams only have 5 players, and our post (that I mentioned before) had just done a squat/power clean/plyo box workout at our field house.  Anyway, he was doing great, but starting to cramp up.  With 1:10 left in the game tied at 57, he finally couldn't move anymore, and we had to play the last 1:10 5 on 4.  We started off on defense in the ol' 2-2 zone, got a steal and a layup.  Then our patented 2-2 zone held the rest of the way and we won 59-57.  We are thinking about making this our base defense now.

Just figured I would look up the two names I mentioned to see if I had any clue what I was talking about last Summer:

Byron Brown I cannot find any information for

I thought it was this guy:

but the timeline doesn't add up.



J'Mison Morgan is a 4 star stud:
