Yellow jerseys. 

[Finisher]

Can't hit threes.

Wiley comes in and throws the ball to Xavier.

Ugly already.

[murph]

Refs killing us a bit too.  To tacky foul calls and the completely missed shot after the shot clock expired. 

But, yea if we can't start hitting some shots this is going to get ugly quick.

[Finisher]

Starting to hit shots. Comfort level going up.

[murph]

Then a huge defensive miscue.  But liking how they are playing much better! 

[Finisher]

Huerter bringing it .. love his defensive intensity, he helps you in all facets.

[murph]

Huerter is my MVP, he does everything.   He almost hit the 75 footer...haha.  

I hope they can keep up the intensity.

The Mount leading Villanova by 1 with 3min left in the 1st, how about that?

Not gonna lie, I've been watching that game more than the MD game.  My parents both went to the Mount.

Nova hasn't had a lead yet.

Much greater story if the Mount wins over MD winning.

Yeah watching the Mount during Maryland's half. Pretty incredible. They have a couple of legit talents, don't expect them to actually win, but game could stay close.

Their roster is loaded with Freshmen and Sophomores, with a few Juniors and one Senior who never plays.  They should be back next year with a higher seed.

Their 3 best players are a Freshman, a Soph and a Junior

Welp, off to embarrass myself playing old man basketball now...lol.   Have to listen to rest on the radio.  Hope MD stays strong and pulls this out, would like to see one more game at least.

Bender is good for 1 or 2 missed layups per game.  Learn to dunk!
