there were about 150 former players on hand for the practice this morning.

Here is referring to this story where Jerry West is demanding a retraction over his portrayal from the Winning Time show on HBO. I suppose he thinks he is funny or clever or whatever.

I will say, parking was an absolute shit storm. I pre-paid for parking in the Trinity Garage using the link the Moody Center provided. I waited in a super long line to get into the lot, and when we were near the front they closed the garage because it had reached its capacity. Either they were letting in folks who didn't pre-pay, or the pre-pay system didn't keep track of the number of spots available. Hopefully they get all that ironed out.

It was cool getting to go inside the Moody Center tonight. I was at the ground breaking ceremony they had a few years ago, which feels like forever ago. It is a beautiful venue. I saw it in its concert set up this evening, and it was not hard to visualize how amazing it would be for basketball. Not a bad seat in the house, and - while I am certainly no acoustics expert - the acoustics seemed excellent. There are still some rough spots and some finishing touches that will need to happen, and it seems they are unapologetic about gouging folks on food/drink ($16 for beer). Still, it feels very modern and I hope to be part of a lot of basketball memories there. I snapped a few pics. It seemed like most stuff had been covered by the press yesterday, so my pics aren't really that interesting.

I'd be reluctant to draw any conclusions about Neyor based on what they are saying about Washington. The fact that Washington is supposedly close to Neyor isn't the win for Washington that it might sound like at first. I know that is vague, my apologies. I'd be stunned if Neyor is not widely considered clearly above Washington come fall camp.

Parking is free in the Speedway Garage, 27th St Garage, and East Campus Garage (after the baseball game concludes).

i’ll be there on Tuesday. I’ll try to post some pics.

I see the bolded finally made it to print. Mitchell took a lot of unfair shots in various threads about his decision to leave the team.

Worthy has his head on straight. He's a kid they match up with knuckleheads to get the knuckleheads on track. Worthy would be more likely to influence Hall than the other way around.

I was hoping this wouldn't happen, but expected it to happen. I can't/won't say much on a public board, but Lattimore needs to figure out if she is serious about her commitment to basketball. Not a good culture fit. I also expect at least one more.

didn't she also do that mime taser bit? It's been a while since I've seen it.

MIT is reinstating the SAT requirement next year.

Vic runs a tough program and it isn't for everyone. There was a lot of drama behind the scenes during the season and I expect some transfers.

yes. Mitchell's dad went on a twitter rampage shortly after Mitchell left and many folks put two and two together and drew conclusions. But he left for private personal reasons.

this is not true. Well, it very well may be true that dad didn't like the offense or touches, but that isn't why Tre left the team. I understand the anger, but I urge folks to withhold judgment.

team has heart - can't take that away from them.

Baylor down 11 at half.

great performance - team seems to be peaking, freshmen continue to make a leap.

It was Fairfield and all, but (in my opinion anyway) Matharu's defense in the 4th quarter really helped Texas finish that game strong after a terrible 3rd quarter. Vic was running Harmon into the ground, and she was visibly tired and losing her edge on defense. Matharu came in and you could feel the difference right away. Bodes well for the future.

Moore - 21 points on 9/10 shooting. Efficiency.
