Tuned in right at the start of the Elam Ending and CC looked like the team behind by 20.  It devolved into one of the games I played at the Jesse Owens Rec during undergrad years...with three or four technicals/disqualifications.  Just glad they survived that period.

For 3/4 of the game Carmen's did whatever they wanted at both ends of the floor. The 3's were falling and the defense was suffocating. A.J. English came into the game the leading scorer in the TBT. CC held him under 5 points until the game was out of reach. Coach Rodgers has done a nice job and stays on their butts when they get sloppy.Kyle Young was a DNP. They need him for some front court depth.

I am watching Louisville  and Kentucky. CC will have their hands full no matter who wins this game. Both rosters are dotted with ex-NBA players and former 5 star recruits.

Given Kyle's head injury history and the fact the last play he was involved in caused his head to hit the floor (against Red Scare), I am almost certain he will be in street clothes for the semis.

I would love to be wrong. And I agree that he would give the front court a major boost. But I just have a bad feeling his Carmen's Crew playing days are over. Again, I hope I am wrong.

I play, coach stays. He goes, I go.

It's crazy how many head injuries he gets.  It's like he's cursed.

Based on the roster, none. They got guys from everywhere

None. Same with the team CC faced in the previous game (HeartFire). This tourney has trended towards more and more alumni based teams, but I don't believe they had any when this tourney started up a decade ago. I just looked it up, this year's field was split right down the middle. 32 teams were alumni based. 32 teams were not.

I play, coach stays. He goes, I go.

Forgot what a 3 pointer was

The pain of discipline or the pain of regret, take your pick

I don't quite understand how the teams are picked...not everyone is an alumni I don't think?? Either way fun to watch.

Didn't know who the big kid for the crew with the long hair was until he got fouled and knew who it was then.
