GREENVILLE, N.C. — It’s about 6 minutes to tip-off. Looks like Doneal Mack will get the start in place of CDR. CDR is here, dressed in blue jeans and a black Memphis shirt.

I like this arena. It’s a nice set-up for a college arena of this season. Has some modern amenities (like wireless Internet) that some other places in this league don’t. It’s pretty loud in here, though it’s not going to be a packed house. It’s about 55% full at the moment.
