All of a sudden there appears to be a lot of condensation on the court.

Slightly surreal. Fireworks, the Navy band, and both teams warming up for the second half.

Stands almost full. Starting to feel like a basketball game.

Here at the game. Floor appears to be fine. Slight breeze. Florida making a lot of 3s in warm-up. We are really tall

In my 39 years as a Hoya fan, I can't ever remember being this unsure as to what to expect going into a game. I am pretty sure that we will be pretty good this year, maybe very good, but I am concerned that the sheer number of quality teams we will play over the next 25 days has the potential to overwhelm us. Right now I am missing St. Leo.
Perhaps the most interesting facet of tonight's game will be our ability to defend the 3, a statistic in which we led the nation last year. Historically, this has been a statistic with very pronounced variation from year to year, but conceptually at least, our length should make us a very good perimeter defensive team and Florida should present a great test.
Then there is the venue. Game time temperature is now forecast at 51 degrees with 2 mile an hour winds. The local TV coverage with shots of an illuminated court at night is amazing.
I am really happy that I am here to see this.
Go Hoyas!!!!!

I will be at the game with friends and my father, a former naval aviator.
How does the game work logistically? Is it outside on the deck or in a hangar? If it is outside, is the court covered or is there a possibility of a rainout? Could wind be a factor?

The shot off glass that would really help Roy's game is the 10-12 foot face up jump shot like Tim Duncan's. Roy works out quite a bit with Duncan in the summer and I am surprised he has not developed the shot.

Facilities renovation at Providence, below. None of the IAC plans seem to speak as to what to do with McDonough proper, however. tinyurl.com/cg5zd3eThe oral description of the project included renovation of the McDonough team rooms. |

What is going on with Jeff? Despite news reports of him signing a long term deal with Boston, he is not listed on the Celtic's roster.

ESPN already had Otto as a top freshman. My guess is that they would say he has already broken out. |

No it was not confirmed that this was a Verizon issue, it was asserted as such by the same people who always assert that every negative outcome reflects a Verizon problem. Kentucky is not playing Georgetown because Kentucky was afraid to play Georgetown. Pretty sure it was confirmed. You have a source for your claim? 1.) Show me any sort of confirmation that it was a Verizon issue. 2.) I have multiple sources close to the program who say it was not a Verizon issue. 3.) We have a Friday night date to play Tennessee at Verizon. Kentucky is playing Thursday night at ND. Does that sound like an insurmountable schedule problem? |

I thought it was confirmed that UK at Verizon wouldn't happen b/c of Verizon issues. No it was not confirmed that this was a Verizon issue, it was asserted as such by the same people who always assert that every negative outcome reflects a Verizon problem. Kentucky is not playing Georgetown because Kentucky was afraid to play Georgetown. |

Roy got a nice compliment from the Miami fans, when they booed the refs when they called a foul on Paul George that would otherwise have been Roy's sixth. They wanted Roy off the floor.
