That was a solid win at the old Alexander Mem. Coliseum yesterday.  I heard they changed the name of that place - I'll never call it by it's new name, that is for sure.  Anyway, if we take care of bidness against Lipscomb, we will host UNC as a ranked team - how bout that???

Did they just change the name, or build a whole new arena?  Because it doesn't look like the same place on TV.  At the very least, it got a MAJOR renovation.

It got a major renovation.  You can still kinda see the old place in their if you look hard.  I saw a ton of great games for free in there when I was a grad student at tech....Lethal weapon 3!  Anybody remember that?  I also got to see the Olympic boxing gold medal fights in there - great experience.

Pons has the ability but is very green....Not sure he will get a lot of minutes for a while. Because of his ankle issue I'm sure he's behind.
