I really dont think Jay gets enough credit. Love to hear from everyone.

This year he was masterful he used the regular season to master several different defensive schemes. How many on here questioned the Zone when we werent playing it well.. We now throw out 4 sometimes 5 different defensive schemes in a game and we play them all extremely well.

Listening to Calhoun today he was raving about Jay and the way we throw different defenses at teams and how he thinks we can go all the way.

I know people will continue with the way too soon discussion about playing UNC, but I thought I would share my very confident thoughts on the game we know is in front of us.

I feel incredibly confident in this game, and think we actually match up with them really, REALLY well. Kansas was able to play a really difficult to crack man defense that jammed up our shooters, took away all our passing lanes, and forced us into one on one scoring. I don't think OK has the personnel to do that to us, particularly with the way Ochefu and Jenkins have progressed. We should really get a lot of good shots. OK also has no depth, so that will come into play as well.

On defense, I think we will NOT put all our focus on doing Buddy, but instead make sure Cousins and Woodard are not able to get great looks. Our match up zone should get plenty of use again to keep them out of the lane, and Bridges will no doubt again be a factor.

We learned from our first OK game two big things...limit our own offensive rebounding to ensure solid transition defense, and get good shots...Not first shots.

Everyone is already picking OK, but I think we end up winning BIG.

I have to post this

Once again I wore my lucky Ohio St t-shirt last night. For people who don't know we adopted our son in Ohio and that's why my wife bought me it for Xmas. Yesterday afternoon we met with a young woman who we may be adopting her unborn child. We did our previous adoption through a tremendous agency, but financially we could never afford to adopt through them again. Last year a friend of my wife connected us with a woman who for 20+ years stands outside of abortion clinics and tries to convince women to give their baby up for adoption.

I mentioned before my wife was away from home for work all last week, she came home Fri night and goes away for work again tomorrow morning for another week. Every night last week my wife called and cried because she hates being away from our son. Well Thursday night during the Miami game she called and was hardly able to speak. A birth mother picked us and she is due May 31st, so we had to meet her yesterday. I'm trying to watch the Miami game, my son was really missing his mommy since it had been 4 days since he had seen het, and my wife delivers this unexpected news on me. You could say it was a stressful night, thankfully the game was a romp.

So yesterday we met at this place close by with the birth mother, her 7 year old son, and two women who run this non profit for adoptions. They both go to abortion clinics and try and convince women not to have abortions actually. So the one woman watched our son Jackson and the birth mothers 7 year old play, while my wife and I talked with the birth mother and the other woman who knows more of the legal stuff and things we must do for the courts. The meeting went very well and we found out last night the birth mother has picked us. Of course she can change her mind at any time and once the baby is born she still can up to a few days. And even if we take the baby home the entire thing is not a done deal for a few months. Right now I'm taking things as they come, trying to keep my excitement in check. This entire thing has happened so quickly I think it hasn't settled in.

So as I'm watching the game last night in my lucky Ohio St shirt and finding out 3 hours earlier we may be adopting again, everything seemed to be some kind of omen or karma that our Cats would win. I will keep the board updated with what happens in the next few months. I wanted to wait to post since last night I was having a hard time controlling my thoughts and emotions.
