Photo Blog Sweet Sixteen

By Colin Wilson on March 23rd, 2007

Hey guys this is Jason Rentner the photo editor. I will be describing what is going on here in Greensboro, N.C. through pictures and some blogging.

Day One consisted driving from BG at 12 a.m. and arriving in NC around 10:30 a.m. with no sleep. When we arrived it was warm, sunny, and you could tell basketball was in the air.  We immediatley shot over to the arena for the press conference. Curt Miller was the first to talk. He talked about how he was gonna play man-to-man defense and set a lot of screens. He described how his team plays very similar to Louisville, who ASU played earlier in the tourney, and how the Falcons plan on learning from their mistakes.

We then headed into the locker room. The locker room was very relaxed. The players were just sitting there hanging out. Some were even playing sharades. They did not seem nervous at all. In fact, they seemed eager and excited for tommorrow’s game which I guess is a good thing.

After that they began practice. During practice they shot around and ran some drills. It was a pretty light practice. They were not running any plays because they did not want to run scout plays in front of cameras. Instead they will be practicing tonight in an area away from the arena.

The stadium is big. Way bigger than MSU’s. Falcon fans I encourage you to make the trip and help fill these seats. The women need good support against this tough opponent. It is now time for me to go lay out in the sun. Keep checking back for more photos of the team during their magical run.
