Hop at the Global Games

[LA_Mustang]

I didn’t know that Hop was playing??? That is even more reason to catch a game this week. Hopefully, Hop and Roberts can persuade Eaton to join them at SMU. Calvin Miles wouldn’t be bad either.

BTW, I'm planning to go tomorrow night. Anyone else going?

Does the U.S. play Lithuania? Maybe the Rack and Ritter can join in the recruiting process?
I'll be there Wednesday for the game against Croatia.

sounds like Hop had a good opening game. I was leaning to going on Tuesday, but might try tonight too if I can.

Anyone know where i can find out the game times? I'd like to head up there and check out B Hop.

The schedule is posted in the "Derrick Roberts named to Global Games team" thread.

HF,
Tomorrow (Tuesday) night is going to be better for me as well. I'll try and sit behind the SMU bench.

[Hoop Fan]

LA, you gonna try and sit in the bleachers behind the home bench or up in the mezzanine? I cant remember if they pull out the wood bleachers for this. Either way, we should try to meet. I'll wear a red hat, with blue SMU letters.

[LA_Mustang]

HF, in the mezzanine. I'll look for you.

LA, I'm only 50/50 on the game tonight due to a conflict. And with BHop out and Roberts getting limited minutes, I'll probably wait to check out Friday night or the medal rounds now. I wish I could watch hoops every night, but have to pick my spots.

[LA_Mustang]

No worries. If you come I'll be there around 5:30. I am anxious to see Roberts again. I hope he gets more pt.

One thing I'm confused about is why The Rack can play and Hop can't? I know he is still playing for the Lithuanian team.

my guess is its a sanctioning issue of some kind. I bet the NCAA allows participation on sanctioned national and junior national teams, but does not allow participation in all-star games etc. I'm guessing this US team is construed as an all star team since it is not sanctioned by official amateur sports bodies.
