Southern Virginia

[MikeWaters]

Just a few years ago I was playing stake basketball. The best player on the other team was a kid who may have been around 20, maybe 22. I was chatting with him a bit, and he said he had been attending Southern Virginia. And then it came out that he was or had been on the SVU basketball team. And I was like "whoa". He was a skinny 5'9" kid, with seemingly average athleticism, and above average skills (but nothing to write home about, and certainly not at the level I have become accustomed to re: college basketball players).

Now one caveat, said he had a foot injury in the recent past. But still, it was surprising given even that.

So in watching a few minutes of the BYU vs. SVU game, I couldn't help but think of him. Stake all-stars against BYU. Pretty awesome. Of course I turned it off because I'd rather watch lint blow across my hardwood floor.

And YES, I have and can guard a SVU guard!!!!

The Aztecs should provide a good barometer. I expect to see SDSU win, but they haven't shown a strong offensive capacity so far. And BYU is not the strongest defensive team. Plus, BYU won't score inside against them.

Interesting match up.
