Saturday’s second-round action

Well… we all made it through a nasty winter storm here in Danville, KY. At one point last night, it was sleeting so hard here, you looked like it was pouring sleet. 6″ plus fell around here and this morning not much was happening and many places were closed. However, this afternoon turned into a beautiful, sun filled on here in central Kentucky – though, north of here is anything but!

Second bit of good news… we are good to broadcast tonight. I won’t get into the whole thing, but blame the Chinese… yes, the country and hackers from there.

Anyway, we will be on the air and the broadcast will be simulcast to the Hall of Fame Cafe and I believe the on-campus TV channel so those Centre fans that can’t make the game, will be able to see, and tonight, hear the game!

We are about 40 minutes from tip-off of what should be a very good game between two very different teams. Centre is guard based and doesn’t rely on the inside game. OWU, the opposite, the inside game is what beat Heidelberg last night. I am looking forward to a great game… and I am looking forward to broadcasting it!

Final note, just met “Old Student Athlete” who came up and introduced himself. Nice to put faces to names on the post-up boards!
