The game follows an earlier game at 6:00 between Southern Mississippi vs. Bahamas All Stars, so the game could start a few minutes later than the 8:00 PM scheduled time.

I searched and found that this morning's column is the 6th different article that has said the team's name is the PJ Stringers,
but the Bahamas site says they are the STINGERS not Stringers

[tornado]

In the prelim game - Southern Miss leads the Bahamas All Stars 51-44 in the 3rd quarter

The foul differential is 17-11 and favors the Island team - the All Stars have been to the FT line 23 times to USM's 11...so better get ready Braves...

[tornado]

USM is up 69-57
foul differential is 24-14
FT diff 35-15!!!!!!!!!!!!

USM has 44 points in the paint vs. 24 for the All Stars - hellooooo maybe let's not shoot three's

[tornado]

USM up 10 with a minute to go

...edit - Southern Miss wins 81-73

up next -- Bradley!

Stingers it is. Just got an up close view of their jersey, which features name and a blue flying stinging insect. This is the kind of thorough reporting you can expect from me.

That finally clears that up.

BTW -- I read the latest Bobby Parker blog...
I guess I have one question if Bobby reads this - and I have to think he will because the question is this...

"Yes, I check in on the BradleyFans and BradleyHoops message boards, and I
know there has been some conversation about Bradley's 3-point shooting and
free throw shooting in the first two games. This is going to come across as
excuses, but a few things to note...."


Bobby - the chatter on message boards is little different than talk around the water cooler or over a beer after work....nobody takes it very seriously...
I think you guys spend way, way too much time worrying about, focusing on, and fretting over what people think or say on a message board.
It reflects only a little bit of what a small percentage of the more vocal & opinionated fans think --
but I suggest you follow the advice most head coaches nationwide say - don't read what people say on the message boards!
