But first, a lovely week off. Sunday, 2/4, go Cats.

Loyola had student sections all the way down to the first row, in the two sections across from the benches and the one in between. Looked like a good idea.

Loyola has an enrollment of ~12,000, too. Surprisingly, their arena is 1,000 seats less capacious than Belk.

For whatever reason, the Cats are playing better, or at least winning more, on the road. Time to pick up a W.

Overheard at the start of the 1982-83 school season:

"How tall are you, McConkey?"
"Six nine."
"You'd be six eleven if you stood up straight."

#40 was always pretty funny.

Question for the Wildcat archivists, have we ever played an opponent who had an X Wildcat playing on their roster? I have to think that in Wildcat B Ball history the odds say this had to have happened, but I do not remember of any.

82-83 and 83-84 comes to mind.

No doubt.

The most recent one was last Saturday. Chloe Welch plays for St Joe's.

Did we play Clemson when they had Chris Dodds?

I guess Tom Leifsen doesn't count. Or did we play Penn? Maybe I'm thinking of when I was at Wake Law. Penn had Fran McCaffery (or "White Tragic," as a friend of mine called him)

Nope on Dodds.
We played and beat Penn and Tom in 79-80. Don’t you remember when the students chanted, “where is your mommy now Tom, where is your mommy now.”
