I was able to attend the HBU game here in Houston. Wonderful experience. The facility was standing room only, and new people kept showing up as the game progressed. Sat 4 rows behind our bench with Karima Christmas' relatives that live in Houston. Our team is huge. Very tall and very athletic. Almost every player looked good, especially Bridgette Mitchell, Keturah Jackson, Jasmine Thomas, Joy Cheek, and Krystal Thomas. I also think that Allison Vernerey and Kathleen Scheer are going to develop into solid players. No one was sloppy, and all were very, very focused during the entire game. They never broke their concentration, and played hard throughout. I was very impressed. If they just steadily improve a little each game, they will be a major force this year. The rest you can get from the usual sources.
The Duke fans sat in a section that took up about 20% of the gym, so it was a good turnout. We sat about 2 rows behind and about a half dozen people over from Tal Smith. Anyone who doesn't know who Tal Smith is can ask Jim Sumner, or one of the other pro's on the board.
