Packline fail or compete fail? I can’t imagine a more miserable spot in the country than Olean after multiple snow events on a mid January night. Brutal.

Didn’t see the whole game had problems with ESPN plus last night(lucky me?)

Re: Where Are They Now? Former Player Results and News

I’m sticking with Miller for now on talent evaluation especially in ball handling. Got nothing against Bassy. Good luck to him. He’s dropped down to a level that enables him to start. Miller would have him buried deep on the bench and likely told him so. I turned on my TV the other night to see Legg...

We beat a team tonight that had the best player on the floor. Major progress.

That play where Weston ran the baseline then immediately reversed the ball was brilliant. Textbook.
