Tycoons

jym · March 7, 2005

The Tycoons finished the regular season 17-9. They have been given the #4 seed in the playoffs and will take on Bellevue Thursday night (March 10) at 7:30PM, W.G. Thomas Coliseum in Haltom City. This is single elimination! If the Tycoons win on Thursday, they will play Maryland Saturday night (March 12), same place and same time.

Chris Davis is currently #5 in our division (#18 in the league) in scoring with 18 ppg. He is shooting 59% from the floor, 34% from the 3 and 83% from the free throw line.

If anyone would like to attend the game(s), please let me know. I expect these guys to win both games, which will put them in the Final Four to be played next week. Please come out and show your support if you can.

On another note, I was sad to see the UNT men and women lose in the tournament. The girl's game was very close and I wish we could have drawn a charge on #23 when she took the last drive in OT. I hate that none of our teams are playing today or tomorrow. The girls should continue to get better since everyone is coming back and they're adding some good recruits. The same should be true with the men.

By the way, I saw the banners and thought they looked really good. I didn't expect them to put anything up but I'm glad they did. Thanks to the people who made that happen. All of the new banners look nice and hopefully we'll add more in the years to come.

Jalie,

Did they get the banners up celebrating your number being retired? I didn't notice them but I will look next time I am at the Pit.

The banners were the first thing I noticed. They were very nice indeed. It is too bad it took so long but it was nice to see the banners hanging up there.

I also wish they would have been unveiled in a ceremony and not just kinda put up in between games with nobody being told about it. I meant to take a camera Sunday to take a picture of them, but I forgot. They also brought back the conference championship banners for the men and women that had been missing for a couple of years.

Did they ever get back to you on the appropriate ceremony you were promised and was cancelled earlier in the year?

Yes Stebo, Rosalyn and I both have banners with our picture, name, number, and the years we played on them. As far as a ceremony, I was just told it would be some time next year.

After what they have put you through with it, I will believe it when I see it. At least they are up, I was beginning to think that would never happen either.

If they ever get around to doing a ceremony, I will do my very best to be there.
