Re jitters, I got faaaaar more nervous/stressed as a coach (Pop Warner) than I EVER got as a player, from youth sports through high school. Can't say why. Just never got nervous as a player. Always nervous at the beginning of big games as a player. After first year coaching HS hoops & baseball, I remained calm for all subsequent events--realizing it was not about me. My role was to prepare the teams strategically and mentally for the game.

And BTW, not having jitters would not necessarily be good either. This is a big deal. If you're not excited and nervous then when will you be? Unlike Guy, I was a wreck before every race I ran and every swim meet I swam. The minute the gun went off I was too busy to be nervous. Maybe Jitters is not good, but nervous excitement is fine. Greg, I was always relaxed because of my superior athletic ability.

Question for tomorrow night. Who will be our leading scorer, and will he/they score more than 20 points, as RG did, last year?
My guess is Asante Gist with 20+ points.

Well the good thing is I have not seen or read anywhere on anybody giving us any chance in hell. This is unlike a couple of years ago where we got pinned with that whole Cinderella shot stuff. This should take some pressure off the team since nobody expects anything from them. Secondly, you have to think the leaders on this team (Crawford and McGill) want to go out there and play their A plus game just to prove something to a national audience. I mean after a while you have to be like F Duke and F UNC if you are on any other college basketball team. I think the key for us is Agee. If he can be somewhat effective in the paint, and they need to guard him more, it could open up the perimeter just a bit for us. Of course at that point we will need to hit shots. If he is not banging away and they are left to cover us....problems. Lastly, I don't post very often though I drop in to the room a lot. Thank You to all the guys that do post the knowledge base you guys is really impressive. Go Gaels!

Crawford will likely have the most favorable matchup and could be in the 20 range. Gist and McGill are also capable. Might be tough sledding for Agee down low; hope I'm wrong about that.
