    I’m here!

  2. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 7:01 pm 

    Calvin Baker, Sammy Zeglinski, Assane Sene, Will Sherill, Sylven Landesberg – the UVa. starting five.

  3. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 7:02 pm 

    UAB is coached by former Indiana coach Mike Davis.

  4. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 7:02 pm 

    Nice intimate gathering here for tonight’s game.

  5. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 7:06 pm 

    UVa. 7-6, 17:01

  6. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 7:09 pm 

    Not a lot of activity here on press row. Is everybody at the bowl game? Sorry. I haven’t had a chance to be negative about my main man Al Groh for a while.

    UAB 18-12, 9:57, UVA. timeout

  13. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 7:23 pm 

    Very tentative UVa. offense. Horrible UVa. defense. UAB is 10-17 from the field, and nine of the ten are layups or dunks.

    UAB 20-12, 8:55

    UAB 24-21, 6:14 media timeout

  16. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 7:28 pm 

    Nice sequence earlier. Zeglinski missed a short jumper, stole the UAB outlet pass, got the ball back on a nice dish from Baker, nailed a three to cut the lead to three.

  17. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 7:33 pm 

    UAB 31-23, 3:15

    Cool! Get me an autograph!

  24. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 8:01 pm 

    UAB 37-32, 17:29

  25. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 8:01 pm 

    UAB seems to have five guys named Battier. They are masters of the flop.

  26. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 8:02 pm 

    That Millsap kid is a beast. He will tear up the D League one day.

  27. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 8:03 pm 

    UAB 42-36, 15:57

  28. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 8:07 pm 

    I’m down a driver. Scott had to go back out to his car. He left his cell out in the car, and he was afraid it would freeze as cold as it is here. He left at the final buzzer of the first half, and I haven’t seen him since. I hope he hasn’t been eaten by a giant squid.

  29. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 8:08 pm 

    UAB 42-40, 14:47

  30. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 8:12 pm 

    Farrakhan 3, 46-43 UAB, 13:36

  31. Crystal Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 8:12 pm 

    Ugh. I hope Scott is OK … is Jim Gordon there? Anyone else you recognize? If not, let me know, and I can drive over.

  32. Crystal Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 8:13 pm 

    I’m sure he’ll show up!

  33. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 8:14 pm 

    We’re getting hosed here. Second-half fouls: UVa. 7, UAB 2.

  34. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 8:15 pm 

    Evans 3, 50-48 UAB

  35. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 8:16 pm 

    The hosing continues. I say this often, but the foul call on that post play is the worst of all time.

  36. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 8:16 pm 

    Scott has returned. He wasn’t in fact eaten by a giant squid.

  37. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 8:17 pm 

    Second-half stats:
    UVa. 8-14 FG
    UAB 5-10 FG

  38. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 8:20 pm 

    Evans layup, 50-all

  39. Crystal Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 8:20 pm 

    I’m glad that he is alive and well.

    UVa. 53-52, 8:23

  42. Chris Graham on Wed, 30th Dec 2009 8:24 pm 

    The officials calling this game should be embarrassed. There is less physicality in your average MMA fight. These bums shouldn’t be working YMCA games.
