This weekend our team headed up to Charlotte to scrimmage VMI.  We practiced Saturday morning, lifted weights and left for Charlotte Saturday evening.  Charlotte isn’t a bad trip from Furman at all. It took us about an hour and 45 minutes on the bus.  When we got to Charlotte we got dinner at Macaroni Grill.  By the time we left dinner and got to the hotel I was completely exhausted.  My roommate for the trip was Tony Anderson, a redshirt junior point guard.  We watched the end of the Texas Tech - Texas game and fell asleep.

We woke up at 7:45 to get some breakfast and we were at UNC-Charlotte by 9.  We scrimmaged in their practice gym but I took a peek at their main gym.  It was WAY bigger than I would have expected.  Their arena looked about the size of UGA’s Stegeman Coliseum.

We knew VMI would be aggressive and press alot but we were not expecting them to do it on every possession.  It was a little disappointing because we were unable to run our man offense at all (due to them being in zone all day long).  It was fun to finally play somebody other than ourselves though.

I’m really glad that basketball season has started so I can stop following football.  Wisconsin’s football team has been a huge disappointment this year to say the least.  They might get into a bowl game if they win out.  The Packers lost a close one to the Titans and are now tied for second in the division.  My fantasy football team lost this week unless Clinton Portis can score 22 points for me tonight.

It should be a good week of practice this week as we prepare for our exhibition game against Newberry this Friday.
