oh no, there goes sneaking up on everybody.
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

Thanks for the information, Mr. N!

I didn't realize this:

"Both teams advanced to the NCAA Tournament last season and were among a league-record eight teams to reach the 20-win plateau. "

The league is definitely on an up-swing right now... I hope it continues!

The only thing that somewhat concerns me about this team, which is the same concern I had early last year, is that there doesn't really seem to be a vocal leader. Last year, Stan revamped his game, gained the respect of his teammates, and became the leader. I think it will be even more important this year because of the young backcourt. All of the upper classmen seem to be fairly quiet, although I have seen flashes of leadership qualities in both BJ and Derrick. All of them are great role models and will lead by example, anyway.

I really like Mike and his basketball knowledge.
Now, to help him out with "Xavier needs a leader."
Mike, meet BJ Raymond.
