OT: 10 yr follow up on JMU's last trip to NCAAs

[psyclone]

Catches up on players' lives since being a #16 seed. A few of those players are playing internationally so the article gives a glimpse into what it's like trying to still make a career of basketball.

I think he may actually have a year remaining if his redshirt goes through.

He still hasn't used his COVID year.

Did Semenov ever play at the same time as Peterson?

They were on 7 of the same all conference teams

In my own defense, the thread is labeled OT. I would think enough of us have been around long enough to remember JMU's situation with Brady saving his job by making the NCAAs when his contact was expiring.

Also it does provide some perspective on the journeys of players post-college, including those playing overseas and some vague information on the money they make. Elsewhere on the boards there is a thread devoted to Ex-Pats--players playing overseas-- including interviews with many (most?) players without connections to Mason.

I'm good. Guess I overreacted. My bad.

So glad to have your approval, pikapp.

Thread was properly labeled as OT. The topic is germane to discussion here. Anyone not interested can ignore it.

Gotta ask, what does OT mean?

Off-Topic.

I hope that we get a 16-seed play-in winner as the next 16 seed to beat a 1 seed. That is the next territory to conquer.

FDU IS a 16 play-in winner---beat Texas Southern to get to Purdue. Getting them to advance so they could knock off ANOTHER #1 would be new territory for sure!
