Trivia question: Which Jesuit university was expected to advance to the Elite Eight? Everyone would have picked Gonzaga.

Amazing a very small school of over 3K. Located on 30 acres in Jersey City. By comparison, MSU is over 5,000 acres.* Has a 3K gym which looks like a h.s. gym but otherwise presentable.

Guess we're all Peacocks. It would be nice if we'd schedule them next year. Don't schedule for their first home game. Doesn't matter if they'll be good, bad or between.

* BTW, decades ago I was a guest student one summer at MSU. I had courses on opposite corners of the campus. 20 minute walk What a comparison. MSU is more like a city than a university. By comparison, I believe UDM is 75 acres so it is 2.5 x St. Peters.

NJ bb fans are going nuts over the Peacocks.

I got to meet and spend an afternoon with St.Peter’s HC Holloway when he was an Asst.Coach at Seton Hall recruiting a player I coached. Great person. Wouldn’t be surprised if becomes the HC at Seton Hall next season.

As an aside, I later went to watch a scrimmage at SH. After the scrimmage, I went up to Coach Holloway and told him I was very impressed with a new freshman, number 23, who I assumed was a scholarship player. He seemed surprised by my comment, fully expecting me to referring to a new 4-star guard SH had recruited. He then had to look at his roster sheet to see who I was talking about. After doing so, he said his name was Shavar Reynolds and that he was a walk-on.

I then went up to Shavar and told him how good I thought he was. He received a full-scholarship the following season, and he made the winning shot against St.John’s. He had a nice college career at SH., including shooting 47.8 percent on three’s his junior year.

That’s pretty awesome Miggy!!

Detroit will host the 2024 NFL draft.

I be there...

This is for Miggy:

St. Peter's is recruiting the NYC city area pretty hard. Should sound pretty familiar to you.
