What a busy but fun day on Saturday. Got paid to watch two entertaining basketball games to start.
The men looked good in terms of their competitiveness and their ability to hold onto the ball. I have a feeling Shemik is going to have a very good, very underappreciated career in New Britian. He flies under the radar a little, but when he plays well he can really be a "glue guy".
Horton and Marcus have both officially broken the chains and are now attacking the basket the way Central needs them to. They say that by the end of the year freshmen aren't freshmen anymore. And while technically Marcus never was, neither of them are "freshmen" in the timid sense anymore.
Not sure what to make of the second-half surges in recent games other than knowing how good CCSU's coaching staff is and how much young teams tend to feed of each other. Winning is contagious, so is a hot streak. When Ken gets going it gets Joe going, and when Joe gets going Tristan gets going, etc., etc.
Not sure about Thursday yet, I usually get a better feel as I do more prepping for the preview story that runs the morning of the game. Right now I think the Blue Devils are the underdogs, but I thought that going into the Wagner game.
Shemik will have a very good career. Underappreciated, I dont think so. He may have a year of "Thats not what Tristan would do" kind of talk. But, thats about it. he will be just fine!and all the Blue Devil faithful appreciate him already!
