Where Are They Now?

I can understand if he got an offer from UNC or something, but this? Did PH tell him to screw off and then JA realized he had no legit offers?

Probably

 

[smccart5]

sounds like a classic sign of someone with too many people in his ears.

Paul Westhead, whose contract will not be renewed as the Oregon women's coach, lost 107-100 to Washington State in the first round of the Pac-12 tourney - see http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=500&ATCLID=209428393.

I'm sure that I'm the only one on this board who watched Westhead in his first head coaching position at Cheltenham High School in suburban Philadelphia. Of course, this was before "Paul Ball".

High Point lost by 2 in the conf. semi's.

High Point lost by 2 in the conf. semi's.

That sucks but the silver lining is they are going to the NIT. As much as they wanted to play in the NCAAT, that's still a very nice accomplishment for Scott Cherry and the entire High Point program.

High Point lost by 2 in the conf. semi's.

Winthrop made a last-second 3-pointer for the victory in the quarterfinals. However, the NIT will be the most prestigious postseason tourney ever for High Point -see http://www.highpointpanthers.com/news/2014/3/7/M-Basketball_0307145310.aspx.

What a crappy way to lose. High Point scored to take the lead and then Winthrop answered with the 3 at the buzzer.

Vertrail Vaughns, who is pursuing his master's degree in digital marketing at North Texas, was named to the Conference USA All-Academic Team - see http://www.meangreensports.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/030614aab.html.

In contrast to High Point's last second loss, Rashad Whack with the game-winning three for Mt. St. Mary's in the NEC quarters:

Mount St. Mary's advances to the Northeast Conf. Final which is televised on ESPN2 on Tuesday night. They will get the winner of Robert Morris/St Francis (PA).

 

[DeepValue]

Very happy for Rashad and Vertrail.

What's the take...leave Mason and find better individual success?

Definitely for Whack. He got the Gray treatment from Coach L, so he was smart to transfer for a better opportunity -- even with Hewitt coming in. I'm not convinced Vertrail (or Paris) chose to leave, but I'm happy to see him doing well academically and getting more PT.

North Texas plays Rice in the 1st round of the Conference USA tourney on Tuesday at 5:30 EDT.

Vertrail averaged 7.9 PPG through the regular season as well as 18.3 minutes per game (started 8 games):

Whack and Mt. St. Mary's up 18 with 8:30 to go in the NEC championship. Whack just called for a T after hanging on the rim after break away dunk.

Commentators talking about how MSM has gotten better as the season has gone on. Fire Hewitt - hire the MSM coach. Javion Christian I think his name is. Young looking dude - I want to say he's off the vcu tree. Do it now TOC - I implore you!

Update - the refs reversed the T call.

Rashad Whack was last seeing playing like a man and heading to the dance. Never forget when Larranaga told the Junkies he was getting Whack and Lurch said, "you got THAT guy?!"

Lurch had seen Whack go off in a Catholic league game.

Whack was playing great....wish we could have seen him at Mason all 4 years.

I still remember that conversation too.

Five Mount St. Mary's players scored in double figures, led by guard Rashad Whack with 20 points, to give the Mountaineers their first NCAA tournament berth since 2008 and fourth in school history.

 

[JimP]

I think MSM had fewer than 10 turnovers too. When is the last time that happened in a Mason game?
