Norm: Afternoon, everybody! Customers: NORM! Woody: Hey, Mr. Peterson, what do you say to a cold one? Norm: See you later, Vera. I'll be at Cheers.

Appears as though he was able to impart some of his experience on how to lose to Michigan State to coach Self.

How can you say this when you have never seen him play? It is fascinating how the guys people have never seen play are always the best players on the team (at least until we actually see them play). Just like some were claiming that Vucetic would be our starting center this year. What we do know is that as a true freshman, Standhardinger had to sit out the entire non-conf, and in his first game of his career, against a legit Big 12 team in TX A&M, CS had more points in about 10 minutes than Pitchford had all of last year combined. I believe Vander was the voted MVP of his entire conference last year. I realize that Pitchford was on the bench at Florida, but that could be taken both ways. I hope beyond hope you are correct, but none of us really know until we see him/them. I actually am a bit disappointed that I haven't heard more reports/rumors about Pitchford lighting it up in practice. You would think that if he is truly dominating, that word would leak out. There are many people who have watched practices (ie, HS coaches, etc), but I have not heard anyone say that Pitchford was heads and tails above the rest. In contrast, when I watched Doc's practices, it didn't take but 10 minutes to see that Standhardinger stood out. Again, though, Miles does not have open practices, so there is less observations to report. Hopefully, Pitchford is lighting it up and word just is not leaking out. I guess I just have been burned too many times in the past to get my hopes up on a guy that has never actually performed in the big league yet, so I will take a wait and see approach.

Silverbacked, it's about 19 hours ahead of us there. It's about 5am on Thursday morning. http://24timezones.com/world_directory/current_auckland_time.php

I said that Pitchford has more potential, not that he is better right now. Offers from Florida, Indiana, and Memphis. Pitchford has a much better outside shot and is a lot more athletic than CS and VJ. Skip to 2:00 to see his athleticism.

Man, I wish I could watch. I am kind of hooked on X-Factor and Survivor though. Is the Creighton game a late start?

This Valpo team also was destroyed by Ohio St. last year and went 8-8 on the road. They are favored to win the Horizon and make the tourney though that record didn't qualify them as an at-large last year. If we were playing in Valparaiso I'd say it's definitely a loss. However we have puncher's chance at the Bob

Other notes Miles is tired of practice and is ready to play some games Team needs a lot of work yet Didn't keep any of the guys who came to try out because he didn't feel like any of them would be able to help on the court and they have enough practice players Team needs to learn how to win Doesn't know if the team is ready to play "Tim Miles style" basketball I think you'll see some uptempo ball the first two exhibition games. Not sure what you'll see after that as Miles seems to be favoring winning over system at this point.
