Blue and white teams (Soft Pretzel Logic)

Blue and white teams

Here are the two teams for the day:

Blue

9 - G Derrick Low
10 - G Eric Maynor
13 - F Josh Carter
20 - F James Gist
35 - C Roy Hibbert
37 - F Maarty Leunen
42 - F Kyle Weaver

White

6 - G Drew Neitzel
15 - G Wayne Ellington
28 - F Joey Dorsey
29 - G Scottie Reynolds
33 - F Shan Foster
39 - F D.J. White
41 - F Bryce Taylor

Jay is doing some very specific situational instruction right now on the defensive side. "It's also good to know your player," he said. "If you're guarding Roy Hibbert on the perimeter, he's not going to think to drive first."

"All these international guys are very good at driving the ball, putting their shoulder down, and then jumping in to you to draw a foul."

The instruction, then is easy: don't foul them.

"International referees protect the shooter," Wright said. "If this guy starts to go on you, you want to get your hands up and back and get your chest on him."

Jonathan Tannenwald is a producer with Philly.com.

I fell in love with the Big 5 at first sight upon moving to Philadelphia in 2002. At various points in my journalistic career, I've covered all six of the region's Division I teams. During that time, I've eaten many soft pretzels from the Palestra's concession stands, which is how this blog got its name.

In addition to the blog, I host and produce the Inquirer's College HoopsCast. It's a weekly podcast that features all the latest news and analysis from around local and national college basketball. Regular guests include Inquirer writers Mike Jensen, Joe Juliano and Mel Greenberg.

I also occasionally contribute to the Inquirer's women's basketball weblog, Women's Hoops Guru. If you've come here from there, this blog deals mostly with the men's side of things, though I do write about women's basketball and other sports when they fit in.

When not focusing on college hoops, I host and produce the Inquirer's PhilliesCast with Phillies beat writer Todd Zolecki, and can occasionally be found behind the camera shooting videos of the Eagles, other professional sports teams and the tiger cubs at the zoo.

One of the great things about City Series basketball, and college basketball as a whole, is its sense of community. So I want to hear from you. Post a comment or send me an email by clicking on my name above. But don't be profane, and don't post hate speech. I'm sure you'd like to take a shot at that commenter on the opposite side of a rivalry from you, or say something nasty about a team you don't like. But this blog isn't the place for it. Thanks.
