...my Dad asked me last night if I could go back in time and relive one day would you choose April 1, 1985 or April 4, 2016....wow...that's like choosing between a Lamborghini or Ferrari....or Charlize Theron or Julianne Hough...still pondering my answer...each were obviously great but in a different context accompanied by a different vibe...hmmmm....

how strange is it not to see Arci and DO on it?

But he is playing it pretty close to the vest,wants to decide before Senior season....Miami,ND,Gtown and I think UVA round it out

I'm looking to drop from about 202 to around 185 by September. It seems ambitious since I haven't been that weight in 18 years. I put in some serious physicality this weekend in hopes of kick starting things. Anyone else on a mission? Post your updates and tips.

Kyle Lowry's fortunes have been kind of like Villanova's recently. Both have emerged as top-tier programs/point guards over the last couple years but have not performed as well on the national stage. Obviously, Villanova exorcised those demons this year.

Lowry struggled in Game 1, and the Raptors lost by 10 at home. It's their 7th straight playoff loss. The Raptors haven't been past the 1st round since 2001.

I was hoping that the Raptors would make a deep run, and Kyle Lowry would become a star on a bigger stage. I'm hoping the Raptors can bounce back in Game 2.

Is getting inducted into the Baltimore Catholic League Hall of Fame on Tuesday. I haven't seen Snow in probably 10 years.

I can never forget the game vs Michigan St in Alaska and the defense he played in Chris Hill in that game. I was sitting front row and they ran the same play nearly every trip down. High pick to run Snow into some monster. Snow was on him the whole game.

I talked to Izzo in the lobby the next day and he said it was the best individual defensive effort ever against his team. He said they stuck with it because they just knew Snow would get worn down running into guys 75lbs more than him all game.

I heard from his HS Coach Mike Glick that he is doing well, has a family now....all that good stuff.

Very happy for him.

...today...no Josh in either the first or second round...

I watch very little NBA....but I remember that Steve Kerr had a nice career....how does Arch's game compare to his?.....I mainly remember him at Arizona (I think)....and I think he lost his Father maybe in Desert Storm?....or am I way off?

The NCAA modified it's allegations against UNC and this restarts the clock to review, reply, rebut and re-delay any action.

• It added a new charge about "failure to monitor", adding specifics
• It removed a charge of school athletes receiving improper benefits through access to the Afro American Studies departmentThere is some discussion in the article about the courses were to help keep at risk athletes eligible "particularly in football, men's and women's basketball pretty much negating Roy William's claim that no mention of basketball was made.

Read the story and see if you can make better sense than I did of it, but it appears that any ruling is being pushed back a year or so.

any truth to this? Heard it's done.

In ESPN's last mock draft. 29th to the Spurs.

Still no Carolina players. Part of the reason I thought it was laughable people thought UNC had so much more talent than we did.

Wasn't Jay supposed to have an in home tonight

How about LaSalle going with not 1, not 2, but 3 Graduate transfers for next year! You know your recruiting stinks when you have to go that route in those kind of numbers.

For all I know, this could be old news, but thought I share. As per a very short conversation at the banquet, it sounded like he would be getting back into pro ball this summer. It sounded like he'd be playing for Boston in either the summer league or D league. I wish him all the best. He was sure a positive influence on Daniel

Figured I'd reach out to the VU Sports network - I am looking for a little career advice and would love to talk with anyone who works in PE or does any type of distressed investing. Apologies for the random thread.*

Bryan Antoine and Scottie Lewis. I remember Scottie from Youtube videos that I saw on ESPN, both of them are absolute athletic freaks. See for yourself...
