Hoopsfest Kicks off Today!!

Hey Warrior fans, well we are out here in Sioux Falls all ready for the hoopsfest to begin today. So far the event has been wonderful, we got into town last night around 4:30 and headed right down for a dinner with the other 7 schools in a big ballroom. The dinner was excellent for a buffet style meal which was surprising as it can be hard to make a real good meal for so many people but they pulled it off. After that we had some down time so our guys relaxed in the rooms and got a good nights rest. This morning we were up early for shoot around at 8 am, the focus was great and I think we are ready to go. Unfortunately we will not be playing today with CJ Erickson. CJ sprained his ankle at the end of practice yesterday and it ballooned up pretty good on him so he is a no go today and probably tomorrow. So we will have to have other guys step up and fill in for him while he is out. Today's game will be a good challenge for us as UM Crookston is much improved over last year. They have a couple of great scorers that we must contain and we will need to be patient on the offensive end working for that great shot. If we do the little things right, rebounding, taking care of the ball, making the extra pass to the open man we should be good but if we do not it will be another long night. It will be a great day of basketball out here and we are looking forward to our match up at 2 pm. Then we will be able to watch many of the other talented teams play tonight, it is a full day of basketball. Until after the game...........GO WARRIORS!!!
