If only we traditionally started off the year hot, I'd be all for it. (And I still kind of am)

It’s an interesting idea. Would the games count in the conference standings?

It's just a Giglio idea at this point, but I would think not. Especially if UConn or Nova is involved.

Joe Giglio is a sportscaster kind of guy for WRAL out of NC, so this is a fan idea.
So, sure, it would count if the ACC set it up that way
I think I’d rather just go with Pastner’s idea of a 28 game round robin ACC schedule. The Greensboro bracket is alluring but this doesn’t even measure up against Main Event, Maui, Phil Knight, or Atlantis. Not sure how many eyeballs it would get in reality.

Damn, Noodles would have been a great hire to replace Pastner.

He was mediocre at New Mexico, his only head coaching gig.
There's no reason to think he'd be a great hire any time soon. He'd actually be a disappointing hire at this point.

Pastner's first year was Neal's last at NMSU. From his wikipedia.
"On March 31, 2017, New Mexico fired Neal 3 weeks after Lobos AD Paul Krebs announced that Neal would return next season.[11] Acting university president Chaouki Abdallah stated: "The decision made late tonight comes after lengthy consideration in light of recent developments that cannot be ignored.""
Also, there are reports of less than flattering accounts of him from members of his staff.

I am watching the Pitt/Northwestern game. I forgot about Robbie Beran. I know we were in his final list. 6’10” big averaging 10 points, 7 boards. He just hit two threes. He would have fit nicely in our Princeton offense with the big at the top of the key. Too bad we couldn’t get him to Tech. Hard to believe he is a senior already.

Yeah, didn’t really register with me that this was old news and has since turned out poorly for both UNM and Neal.

off topic here but has anyone seen a vendor selling area rugs of the GT floor with Cremins court on it? I’m looking to finish out the cave and the only one I found had a black border and hardwood that doesn’t look the same. I’d rather have it look like the actual floor.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
