Guest Blogger: Tyler Hines

In preparation for the MEAC tournament, sophomore Tyler Hines will try to blog daily about the player's perspective and his schedule with practice, travel, classes, etc.

Enjoy!

It's that time of year again, what every college basketball player lives for... March Madness. It's considered crunch time and it's the part of the season when freshmen play like sophomores, sophomores play like juniors, juniors play like seniors and seniors play like pros.

Today is the last day of preparation for the Delaware State game tomorrow night. We had three good days of practice and one much needed day off to rest our legs and use the day to get caught up with academics. I know as a team we are amped up for tomorrow's game in Dover.

As a team, we have been mentally in tune and focused on getting ready for the big game tomorrow. This is probably one of the biggest games this year because Delaware State is not only our rival, but this is the last game to determine seeding for the MEAC Tournament. It would also mean another sweep in the MEAC, after we defeated them earlier this season at home.

If we receive a four or five seed, we will have a first round bye and continue to make history this season at UMES.

I know I can speak for both the team and myself when I say that we hope to see you all in Dover Thursday night. Be sure to bring your maroon and gray and HAWK PRIDE! Trust me, it's going to be another exciting game to watch.

-Tyler
