Emerald Coast Classic

[Cyclonesince78]

Trying to get an idea of what channel and when the game on Saturday would be. Right now it's TBA because we have to win the game on Friday. Assuming we win, any idea what time slot that would put us at and what channel? The Friday game is on CBS Sports Network.

Sweet TV deal this tournament has. And we played the best team in the field last night. Really wish we got to see this year's squad in a better tournament.

I really like being the headliner of a BB tournament.

I really like being the headliner of a BB tournament.

But the headliner of a crap tournament?

Any word if Naz can play both games? I know he hasn't been practicing back to back days, so back to back games seems like it may be a challenge unless he has made some major improvements

Your wish will come true next year when we play in the Orlando Classic with Gonzaga, Florida, Miami, Stanford, Seton Hall, and a few others. Good test for next years team

This team would headline a much better tournament this year.

 

[ProhmTime]

Yes, this tournament isn't great but it should be a pretty easy tournament for us to win. VT does look to have some size but not very much depth. A Buzz Williams team will always play tough but they don't seem to have much skill.

I really hope that UAB beats Illinois Friday so we can get a little revenge from last March. I would love nothing more than to rout the Blazers in the Championship game.

From what Prohm said, Naz will rest most of the week and then be prepared to play back to back days.

Is that the same tournament Iowa is in this year? I know there's a couple in Orlando and yes that's a quality field, so glad to see we have that lined up.

Naz, Prohm, and Morris all said he was playing both. It'll work out.

I think he's looking very strong and last night looked the best so far this year? He's been taking it to the rim with authority and seems confident. Anybody else see different? I'm surprised Thomas hasn't started since Naz was only ~75% for the first game.
