So this past weekend, I have been slacking with the posts. It is not because I am getting lazy, I am now a manager for the Albany Men's Basketball Team. I have been doing it for a couple weeks now, and I love it. Well the reason for me to posting anything this past weekend is because Albany hosted the 2K Regional tournament which also included University of Detroit, Alcorn State, and Robert Morris. It was a round-robbin tournament, so there was no winner, but Detroit finished 3-0. I guess if somebody finished second, it was us at 2-1. Obviously, we lost to Detroit, who owned the weekend. Detroit's center, by the name of Eli Holman, was MVP of the weekend. Now I have seen Albany go up against Syracuse and Morgan State, who both have exceptional big men, but I haven't seen anyone like Eli Holman. He has been off the college scene for a while now, playing his freshman year in 2007-2008 for the Indiana Hoosiers. If you have been following college basketball, you know the program at Indiana was a mess the past couple years, and is now rebuilding under Tom Crean. Detroit's coaching staff was lucky to land the 6'10 center at their program. Holman is left handed and very athletic, he finishes everything under the basket. Holman is only a sophomore at Detroit so with this season just beginning, three years to leave his mark. He is a name you have to look out for, and in my opinion, a potential NBA draft pick whenever he decides to leave.
