Here we go

Tons of games today. Some mid afternoon hoops on FS1 at 3:30 as Nova takes on Mt St Mary’s

Thought I would start a new thread with so many Jays (basketball, baseball, and men's soccer) playing professionally.

ICYMI - 2 Jays are hoping to join the pro ranks are in the pre-draft combine

Thought I’d just start a thread.



For those wanting free rooms at Southpoint. No rooms. Hotel is totally sold out Saturday night. In fact told they have a 300 person waiting list for Saturday They do have rooms on Sunday and Monday.

Apparently the rodeo is going on there. Lady I talked to has received a couple of calls from Jays fans about free rooms but she has heard nothing

so best options I saw are Luxor — next door to Mandalay Bay or Excalibur just down from Luxor. Stayed at Excalibur many years ago and it was kinda a dump. But it’s cheap.

Also further down Flamingo is reasonable. I’ve stayed there a ton.

Mandalay is too pricy

Is this a combo guard we would look to go after? It looks like Mac already follows him on Twitter.

Don’t know if anyone is watching this series on HBO about the beginning of the Magic era in LA but it’s fantastic. This came to mind as I was goofing around with who would play who in another thread. I get that if your under 40 you won’t understand but back in the day there were two regular season games you didn’t miss and that was LA n Boston. And hope like hell they would meet in the finals. And here’s the cool thing about it back then. Not matter who your favorite team was when it came to these two you were either a Laker or a Celtic fan. I lives in Montana and even there fans were split. It was epic

Another cool thing about the show is the number of famous people that became involved - for instance going to a high school and hiring a Dance leader for the Laker girls— it was Paula Abdul. The one that really took me for a loop was Spencer Haywood’s, girlfriend was Iman, who later married David Bowie. Just a cool show. I’m sure some is embellished but a great watch.

Still hearing the preseason/midnight madness type of event is still on for October 23 at 7pm. Have seen zero promotion for this yet and haven’t seen an announcement of any kind. Just put it in our radar.

IMO. Wondering if there is some kinda issue. Seems we would have heard something since it’s less than two weeks. Good source tells me it’s still on though.

Just turned 18. Perfect fit to come off the bench and backup Kalk. Nice to have someone like King who can do the above and still have around to grow into a larger role.

8/9 seed here we come?

I have heard rumblings / rumors but since it was openly discussed on Sharp and Benning this morning I felt like it should be discussed. What is the relationship between Coach Mac and the new AD? Would Mac really retire or is he just making noise? Would he really leave to replace Coach Hoiberg in Lincoln?

Jays out to +10.5 on DK this AM. I think UConn can be ugly enough on offense to let teams hang around, but I'm not confident in Creighton being able to score vs another physical defense.

I feel like 6 in a row may be too much to ask.

But I do feel, for the most part, we have played pretty well in their gym and have shot the ball ok. They have been on a roll but as Mac said they have been off since Friday so hopefully they cooled off.

Big bummer. I really, really liked Jon’s Jays coverage

Creighton double digit favorites tonight vs Georgetown. I've seen some -10.5/-11. Take care of business boys!

Can we sweep the road trip??

Jays 1’ point underdogs. Total 137’

Well bad news is they couldn’t hit the broad side of barn against Nova so I suppose they won’t miss Saturday

Jays -4.5 on DK this AM

Jays 7’. U/o 134. Under might be a play here. That’s a tough spread
