Early Morning Shootaround

Usually for a 6 p.m. game the guys would have shootaround around noon or so, but with the format of the MEAC Tournament, all of the other teams have to get their shootarounds in before games start at noon.

Today's shootaround went from 8:30 until 9. Here are a few pics...

The Howard women's team was using the court for their shootaround when we arrived at about 8:15, so the guys had to utilize the hallways for stretching and getting loose.

It's nice to celebrate a win... but tomorrow'll come fast, so now it's on to the next one! And I know the coaches are working their butts off getting ready for South Carolina State.
