Over and over I keep getting reminders of what a small world it is that we live in. I was at Tiara Bolden's last regular season game at Fordham University in the Bronx on March 2 - one of a whopping 422 fans present. Her La Salle team had just gone through an awful season, but they had enough left at the end to beat a rebuilding Fordham team by ten on the road, on Fordham's Senior Day no less. Bolden was, without a doubt, one of the two best players on the floor for either team. 25 points, 8 rebounds, 4 of 8 from 3. Every time Fordham tried to mount a comeback, she or her teammate Melious would pop another 3 (Melious was an unconscious 8 for 10). Bolden is an exciting player to watch, and I'm very excited that she is now a Beav. I'm also very happy that the Fordham Rams (my favorite eastern underdog team) don't have to deal with her anymore. Things are really coming together. Go Beavs! Was that at the oldest on campus gym? I was thinking I once read that about Fordham’s home court Rose Hill Gymnasium. Older than Mac Court even. |

Yes, older than Mac Court. In fact, the RHG is the oldest operating DI basketball facility in the country, set to celebrate its 100th anniversary next year.
It's a way different experience than Gill, but a lot of fun just the same. Not a bad seat in the house. After buying a ticket online for a February game and then walking right in with nobody scanning my phone, I didn't bother buying a ticket for the March game and just walked right in again (try that in Gill!). I think they were happy just to have butts in the seats.
I attend games at Gill and the RHG every year and have a lot of fun at both, even though they are vastly different. And again - having watched Tiara Bolden up close in that tiny 3000 seat gym, I think you guys are really going to like this new Beav. She is talented and I believe she has a big upside.

Does anyone know anything about this Cloe Vecina? A lot of the comments on her announcement are in Spanish and that's all I got.

Muy Bueno. Mas cerveza. I got no idea. That's the limit of my spanish. Before you go around saying "mas cerveza" you need to learn "¿Dónde está el baño?". Or you could just cross your legs and hop up and down while looking in urgent need. But really ¿Dónde está el baño? is much more dignified. |

If anyone cares, Paurova picked Kentucky. The dispersal is now finished.

That's nice, but the post begs the question, if she loved Scott, the program and the university so much, why did she leave?

I wonder how people are ever supposed to understand her reason for choosing to leave when she's never shared it. Absent that, the only way I can see to take that post is as absolute bull s%#t, designed to assuage any guilt she might be feeling and to make her feel like she's done something good to make up for her part in dismantling our program.
