I don’t think so, at least not yet.

 

[kiddman32]

I’ll look at the half and see if I can figure the transfer thing out. Only guy I see that I don’t remember seeing last night is #11.

[M.C. fan]

Is the Capital Christian kid and the other 10 transfers playing for MC tonight

All Suited

 

[kiddman32]

To Heat’s question from earlier…. The two I could find that transferred are Atkins and Sykes. Sykes has 11 tonight, and Washington, I also think that’s a transfer, he has 4.

 

[M.C. fan]

We look much stronger. Sikes has shown some power driving to the basket. Thompson for Vanden had them up by 11. Widemon#4 hit some big 3's to get us back. Bernard#1 is now on Thompson and the Vikings are having a much tougher time getting inside shots.

 

[kiddman32]

I’m notoriously bad with names and faces…. Takes me about 10 games to just learn the Campo lineup.

 

[kiddman32]

Thompson is a BEAST! I’m told he scored 43 last night. I manioned, after seeing that game, that he’d probably already won Tourney MVP.
