I feel like a super-cool actual journalist right now. I’m sitting on press row BLOGGING while the Delaware-Drexel game is going on - as you can see from the photos, the view from press row isn’t exactly great (unless a bunch of bald dudes do it for you). Anyways, the winner of this one gets UNCW. I really don’t think it matters who The Dub plays next – both these teams seem to be pretty much the same. Its not like its a game between VCU and Georgia State where there is an obvious team you’d rather play.
UNCW was lucky to get the first round bye – I think that’s a huge advantage in this tournament. All these teams playing today have to win four games in four days – you’ve got to be very deep to be able to pull that off. I’m not sure anyone has the depth to do that. Frankly, UNCW is going to have a lot of trouble winning three in three days with their lack of depth. I asked Todd Hendley that at practice today, and he even admitted – someone is going to have to step up on the bench – its too hard for the five starters to pull that much weight. Trouble is – I don’t know where that bench play will come from. I’m guessing Montez Downey will be counted on quite a bit. Can he respond? I guess we’ll see tomorrow night.
Richmond is a strange city. We drove down – what I assume – is one of the main streets in the city, and couldn’t find a restaurant. We ended up eating at Subway (eat fresh) but that wasn’t exactly what we had in mind. Hoping tonight we’ll have more success with a little more driving.
And – for the record – good seats still available for this one. I’m guessing not many Delaware fans make the trip.
