12 SDSU vs. 5 Maryland, Spokane

Re: 12 SDSU vs. 5 Maryland, Spokane

As someone who criticizes Coach Nagy quite a bit, I want to commend him for being able to change his coaching style so much since the transition to DI.

I still have issues with some of his personality traits, but have always believed he is a good man with good intentions. It takes an unbelievable person in any profession to go through what he has, make changes to who you are, and come out the other side a winner.

Kudos to you coach!

Most people are mistaken that Nagy is this grumpy man who is hard to get along with. Spend a few hours with him outside of a basketball gym and you'll realize he's got a great personality, very smart and is a joy to be around. This goes for the rest of his coaching staff as well. Lots of good dues on that staff right now. Some or most of which we may have to replace if we pull an upset on Friday.

"I focused on education because I needed a way out," King said. "I knew basketball would take me far, but education will take me farther and help me be able to take care of generations in the future. I need to help the younger generations."

I hope people appreciate how awesome this attitude is. It's really easy for people to sit from afar and say things like, "Why doesn't everyone that grows up in those neighborhoods have that attitude?" But it's never that easy or simple. Good for Tevin.

Or run to Fargo Wednesday evening and take the train to Spokane arriving very early Friday.

Chances of that Amtrak train arriving on time are less than the 1000-1 odds we have of winning the national championship. It has been about 7 years since I took that train out of Fargo but I was appalled by how off they were on arrival and departure times. You can BYOB though - so that would be a good time!

Depart 6 am Thursday from Brookings;
North on I-29 to Summit (omen!!!), US 12 west-- arrive, Miles City MT 2 pm Thursday. You're driving through rain and snow, according to the forecast.
Miles City to Butte, MT, arrive by 7 or 8 pm.
Overnight in Butte.
Butte, MT to Spokane, leave 8 am MDT arrive 12 noon PDT, maybe miss the first tip of the Cal-Hawaii game.

What's the air fare again?

This a good read. Gives some additional insight in what Coach Nagy went through and now we know how Daum made it to SDSU. Nagy watched put up 12 threes in a AAU game.

Watched Maryland play Nebraska in the Big 10 tournament. They made 9 of 10 threes to start the game. Gotta hope they don't repeat that performance.

Friday afternoon at 3:20 would be a great time to finish the week at Cubbys...... Plenty of televisions and cold beer.

They're starting to call the South Region the "Region of Death."

SDSU needs to step up and do its part.

Death Rabbits, Attack!

Approximately 3:20 is correct
