Next up - at NC State - 12-17

[Volfan2012]

A game we need to go into and shoot the lights out. We shot well against Butler in the second half hopefully we can do that tonight.

Coach should give him a rule, every time you get off your get you better dunk,or if you don't you do suicides,that would fix it real quick

He has to get stonger. He would have made both dunks-and 1 if he had more upper body strength.

I don't think those stats are meaningless at all. I think our defense is improving game by game as well. I am stunned that NC State lost to Wofford last night. How did that happen?

It happened because Wofford is good. You'll find that out in March if not before. RPI is higher than NCSU or Tennessee.

Wofford won the Southern Conference Tournament last year, went to the NCAA where they lost to Michigan in the first round. My son's best friend and neighbor in high school was 6'5" and played basketball for them for four years. My son went to Emory and Henry to play baseball. Both of them were on a Junior League World Series (13 yr olds) team in 1987 that won the thirteen state Southern Region and finished 4th in the world out of 2500 teams.

Emory and Henry recruited me out of high school as well. I chose to go to an NAIA D1 school instead because they could offer athletic scholarships whereas E&H could not being D3.

What they did give him was at the time about $7500 a year in financial aid even at Division III which was about half of the annual cost. He used student loans to cover the balance. Ended up being the only student in his class graduating with three degrees in Mathematics, Economics, and Business Management at a top academic institution. Paid off for him!

Good for him. That's a lot of hard work. I went for the debt free route. No student loans here.

Good news IMO is this will be their toughest test from the whole year so far and we've played two pretty good teams. Also our defense is hard to practice for so hopefully it comes up clutch

I know this obviously isn't the place to talk about this, but seriously, was the "debt free" path worth it? Sometimes I feel like I need to suck it up and take some student loans, I just work too much :/.

My way was paid with an athletic scholarship so I didn't have to work a job in college. I was a student assistant for a professor to earn some spending money. Can't really speak to trying to do it without a scholarship of some kind. I know I have friends that took out loans and paid them off fairly quickly because they were diligent with their money.
