Sweet 16 In Chicago – Part One

(Chicago, IL) – United Center is cool. As you would imagine the seats inside are Blackhawk & Bulls red and black. The security people around the building are very helpful to this lost St. Louisian, and the wind, well it’s windy! I practically got knocked down walking from the parking lot to the entrance. But I’m inside!

IMG_0902Iowa State is first up on the court and then they’ll head to the interview spaces. We’ll have comments from former Murray State Head Coach Steve Prohm up on the site soon. He obviously isn’t under any huge pressure in this bigger stage. While practice is going on, he’s carrying around a child.

Virginia is second on the interview schedule. While that is going on, I’ll be looking for former Saint Louis University Head Coach and current Cavalier assistant Brad Soderberg. I’m looking forward to catching up with one of the genuinely good guys in the sport.

Gonzaga, the only team from outside the power conferences will be a part of the process today. So we’ll try to find out how Mark Few keeps the program humming.

Syracuse is the final team. Suspensions aside, they are a dangerous team in this tournament. We’ll keep you up to date on all the happenings in Chicago!

Do Good

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry

Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops

Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi

Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
