St. Joseph's-Richmond pregame (Soft Pretzel Logic)

St. Joseph's-Richmond pregame

Well, the St. Joe's fans finally did show up, just in time for the 5-seed Hawks' tipoff against 4-seed Richmond. As the game's on Comcast SportsNet, I'm not going to liveblog it as closely as I did yesterday's game, but I'll check in a few times.

Looks like a student section of 20 or so spread out behind the band and the stage end basket, and there's a healthy contingent of Hawks fans in four sections behind my side of the court. There's about a section and a half of Richmond fans, plus their band.

The starting lineups:

St. Joe's

F Sr 12 Pat Calathes
F Sr 52 Rob Ferguson
C Jr 34 Ahmad Nivins
G Jr 0 Tasheed carr
G So 13 Darrin Govens

Richmond

F Fr 12 Kevin Smith
F Sr 15 Gaston Moliva
C So 41 Dan Geriot
G So 5 David Gonzalves
G So 14 Kevin Anderson

Feel free to post your thoughts on the game in the comments.

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.
