Thanks in advance, Tommy O
Rick scheduled the game with the Pace Setters , not so much from a BB standpoint but , wanted to see future CPA’s in action .
Never know when you might need some Tax Advice .
Pace is a very good School to attend if you want to go into Accounting . The School was founded as the Pace Institute of Accountancy Practice back in the day .

No, I posted a lot on twitter. I'm interviewing a legend for the podcast tomorrow evening, so that will be out before the week is up.

From Zach:
Big East Media Day is over. Some thoughts and news.
- Rick Pitino felt St. John's executed at a four or a five in the Rutgers exhibition. Wasn't happy with the second half performance, but felt effort was there, which he said is the most important thing right now.
- RJ Luis (left hand) is getting X-Rays tomorrow and the hope is two weeks out from returning to practice. On schedule to return for Charleston Classic. Cruz Davis (left hand) is a week ahead of Luis and is on track to be available for the opener.
- Ed Cooley called Pitino the greatest coach in college basketball history. High praise.
Jordan Dingle is still out. He made the watch list for the Jerry West Award given to nation's top shooting guard. Pitino said Dingle is unlikely to play in exhibition against Pace, partly because he wants to see the younger guys play.
- Val Ackerman told me Gavitt Games will not happen next year. There was an agreement in principle, but that's out. Big East has had talks with Gonzaga about joining league, but it seems like the Zags are headed in another direction. Would only add a real difference-maker to the league like Gonzaga.
Daniss Jenkins was thrilled to be part of media day. Something he has never really been a part of before. Said he has always been an "underdog.”
- Joel Soriano said he wants to go out a winner, not just for himself, but the fans who spend their hard-earned money to attend games and have not gotten much in return in recent years. Soriano was happy with first team selection, but is goal is to have that honor at the end of the year.

Wait until Pitino schedules him in Carnesecca and he'll revert back to his old ways.
He scared
Believe it or not the Providence family is very tight....
Well he could have just said “Hey, I love Providence but I got a boat load of $$$$”. Change? Legacy? Nothing wrong with that. But this is about the money and making generations of Cooley’s comfortable. Don’t blame him.
I think he still dislikes our school, but cannot deny Rick his due.
