Nice that they are going all in on Huntsville.
I was looking at that schedule and wondering how they came up with that order - with MT coming in the last time slot. Nearest school coaches and players last? To allow for travel for the other schools returning home?
 
I have not kept up with our roster lately.

Have we signed any guards yet who can put the ball in the basket ?

That thought actually works. Kudos to them for doing that.
 
Like the weeknight media coverage for football commish set up for football with ESPN & CBS Sports. Has there been a sports package for basketball set up this year?

Ty Mosley shot 49% from 3 on 63 attempts last season.

Elias King shot 41% last season.

If Jalen Jordan can return to form, he shot 43% his last season he played with us and 42% for his career.
 
Watch for an mproved Jestin Porter & Tre Green to play bigger roles. Believe Green is coming off a red-shirt freshman year.
