Absolutely. It's fair to say that this is one of the greatest days in BG basketball history. Beating a ranked rival at home and getting an $8 million dollar gift for a new Convo center is about as good as it gets.

Wow!!! This team is coming togther Brian Moten is starting to emerge as a true star on this team. If you read the article in the Blade it sounds like his confidence is sky high and his game backed it up today. I find the the difference in coaching philosophy from last year amazing. Orr has been able to revive Moten a kid who was very highly thought of out of high schools; ACC schools even wanted the kid (Virginia). DD totally killed his confidence and therefore his game. But I am so excited that MENS BBall is back at I think if ORR sticks around in combination with incredible people like the Strohs this program could once again be head for special place.

I also want to challenge everyone out there to donate some money to the capital campaign if a man who was not even a graduate of the institution can give 8 mil each of us can give something even if its $25 dollars every dollar counts.

Once again great win and maybe just maybe a magical run is coming.... If not thats okay because the furture of BG basketball looks very very bright!!!

Go Falcons

When I read about the $8 million gift, I almost didn't believe it. That was mighty generous of the Storhs to provide that money. This victory today, you're right, it just doesn't get much better than this. Being there would've made it even sweeter.

The correct spelling, I believe, is S-t-r-o-h, right? This is I want to spell correctly. I'll add it to my spell checker dictionary, especially after a gift like that.
