Tonight's Versus game features Rio Grande Valley, who sport the second-best record in the league, and the Los Angeles D-Fenders, who sport the second-worst. Hmmm...well, I suppose there's a chance it could be a good game anyway. I'll be around and watching the game, so why not try and make this an open thread for anyone who wants to join me and comment.
- Rio Grande Valley's strength is its backcourt, with Will Conroy, Antonio Anderson and backup Jonathan Wallace. Conroy and Anderson both have gotten 10-day contracts, and both deserve call-ups before the season runs out.
- Los Angeles has...well, Forehan-Kelly, who has picked up his game in March to bring his season stats right in line with his career numbers. He's also shooting 48.5 percent from outside this year.
- There's also Michael Fey, who is talented (at least on the offensive end) but also maddeningly inconsistent.
- Dar Tucker has started to get consistent playing time, though his performance hasn't always followed. He had just eight points last night, so maybe he'll play really well tonight!
- That's right, once again Versus (or is it the D-League's doing?) gives us two teams playing on the second night of a back to back. Fun!
- RGV just signed Travis Holmes, who was drafted by the Utah Flash this year but then disappeared, as far as I know. Holmes played for VMI last season, finishing as the school's career steals leader. Could he follow Reggie Williams from VMI to the D-League to the NBA? Maybe! (But I doubt it, this year anyway.)
- If you're looking for even more reasons to watch the game, Matthew Brennan has you covered.

Didn't even realize this last week
but DirecTV finally re-added Versus. So I’ll have this going, most likely.

I probably won't be here
Because UFC is on.
I would like to add that I like Travis Holmes, though. And Dar picked up a DNP last night – his eight point outburst was from March 23rd.
I blog at Ridiculous Upside. I know you'll love it.

Oh right
there’s that other website you run, Ridiculous UFCide.
Someone needs to tell the league to stop hyping Dar Tucker if he can’t even get consistent minutes.

I really wish Conroy had better big men to work with.

some idiot NBA exec told him to pass more
I hope I’m kidding. He’s had a few “just shoot!” moments in this game, but really, he’s an NBA player. Right now.

Conroy might pass too much
I shouldn’t say this, but if his teammates are just going to miss/bobble it out of bounds, he should take it himself.

Musselman's right
None of the D-Fenders appear to care about getting back on defense.
