    Strange time for this game.  Does it really tip at 4 CST, or 5 in the East?

    Mulkey clearly is a good coach, but it’s a stretch to talk about the 2005 team as if it didn’t have great talent.   Sophia Young, the top player on that team,  is one of the best players to ever play in the NCAA and was a very high WBNA draft choice.   She was All-American that year and the next year.  Also Stephanie Blackmon was an All-American that year as well.   And Stratton, who was a senior that year, was another 1000 point career scorer.   They also had a couple of other good players.

    Ironically, with the discussion above about recruiting violations, Mulkey was found guilty of a very large number of imermissible phone calls to recruits a few years ago and the program was put on probation and lost a couple of scholarships.

    You are right about that. I meant that they weren’t big names coming out of high school . Baylor was Sophia Young’s only offer.

    Maybe a potential good sign per GK tweet below.

    Housenick says BJ likely , more than GK. Atleast we’ll get one of them.

    You agree the above tweet seems positive though Rich? If I had choice of just one of the two….you know where I’m going!

    I really think some Lehigh players are going to be disappointed with the atmosphere. We only averaged 7,500 in our non con games last year and most of those weren’t during the workday.

    More intrigue to this afternoon’s game down in Waco…………..CJ and Baylor’s Pierre Jackson have been added to Wooden preseason Top 50.

    Since Lehigh is used to playing OOC games at home in front of 750, a crowd of 7500 will be thrilling.

    Housenick neither bj nor Gabe are going to play. CJ will score 50. I hope.

    Getting ready to leave for the Ferrell Center. Good luck after today and be sure to beat Lafayette by 40.

    Quote:  “Housenick neither bj nor Gabe are going to play.”

     

    Are you going by Housenick’s latest tweet:  :  “Expect @bj_bailey, @GabeRoy42 to not play tonight for @LehighMBB at Baylor”?

    If so, I wouldn’t necessarily assume they’re not playing.   To me, that just sounds like Housenick’s guess – and he’s often wrong.
