Basketball: Loyola coach a drama queen

  • As Gunn gets tackled by a Keydet while trying to gain control of his dribble and the ref calls a foul, the VMI coach crumples to the floor by the bench and unfurls a blood-curdling scream of "OH NO!!!" Then he stands up slowly and calls a timeout.
  • There's 11:34 left and the Tigers lead 14-8. Good start. I can't say enough about the offense so far this year. The Tigers could have scored more like 70 points last night if they had made their open threes, layups and free throws (they were 8-of-15 from the foul line--I liked how Coach Scott, after the game, while lamenting how the Tigers missed open shots, put missed free throws into that category. No shot is more open, after all)
  • Schroeder hits his first career three-pointer. He and Gunn were 0-of-5 from downtown last night, but they've started 3-of-4 tonight. Owings, meanwhile, is 3-of-3 from the floor to lead all scorers with 7 points.
