For the Broncos, quarter finals are done but the "tests" are just beginning with WCC play starting December 27th.
But wait, before that is the 48th Cable Car Classic.... This is a "bonus" year, where we can see 3 games vs 2, one of which is a home game we don't play in.... True enough. Today's Mercury News has the details.
I like it... The game this Wednesday is interesting. A pre-test measuring stick before league. Northeastern, (RPI 61) is a good team and Cal Poly just beat USF at USF... I applaud SCU for keeping the Cable Car going. Another tradition that would be great to reestablish....
So, back to league. Instead of Ho-Ho-Ho, the schedule looks like Whoa-Whoa-Whoa.
In a span of 14 days we play 6 games, 4 on the road against St. Mary's, Portland, Pacific, and Gonzaga! THEN, BYU and San Diego come to Leavey.... It's like taking your final exam at the start of the quarter...
We need to "cram".
That's why the Orlando Classic was, and the Cable Car is important. Playing tougher opponents.
Measuring, grading....
I hope by January 11th, we have a GPA over 3.0... In terms of basketball performance, that would make my "Dean's" list....
On a final note, you may have heard Yannick Atanga underwent surgery today to repair his knee. We hope all goes well and we get to see his energy and passion return in 2015-16...
