Great game to watch today! Lees-McRae visits Newberry this afternoon in D2.

Newberry is a top 20 team and has a nasty defense, Jaiden Terry and Brian Lake are excellent down low. Lees-McRae has Cayden Onagi, who came over from Limestone and had 73 points last year.

Four under the radar players I'm excited to watch today:

Peter Detwiler - Marquette SSDM with pro athleticism

Collin Patrick - 61 pts as a sophomore at Marist

Ezra Moore - 5 assists for Bellarmine vs Duke

Cole Cunningham - Outstanding LSM at Air Force, 4 CTs last week.

By my count, between last weekend and this weekend, there were 52 D1 games on the schedule. Not counting scrimmages. Of those, 34 were altered (cancelled, postponed, rescheduled, no fans, moved indoors, or some combo of those) by weather. That's about 65% of the games so far

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Cool story from opening weekend. Joel Mullen looked awesome for Utah. He was an All American and SSDM of the Year in D2 for Limestone. When the school closed, he went out west and joined the Utes. He had an assist, two GBs, and a caused turnover in the opener against Delaware.
