If you fly United and check a bag its almost impossible to make your flight. You can only check your bag 4 hours before your flight, but can't actually get through the TSA line in 4 hours at IAH.

This is the normal TSA line or precheck?*

...but with Clear + TSA Pre, it was maybe 5 minutes.

I'm guessing it's similar elsewhere... I know ATL is long no matter what, and depending on which terminal you're in, IAH can suck, but if you have security status, it should be quicker.

Are you going to bark all day, little doggie? Or are you going to bite?

I may he over-rating these because dunks were so rare in the late Henson and Kruger eras.

VCU is gonna get theirs on the fast break and that's just gonna happen but we crushed their soul in half court sets.

Almost every single three-point attempt by VCU was either a shot that you're fine giving up or especially in this game a player who you're cool with giving that look to.

There were long stretches where they wanted no part in getting their shit rejected at the rim so great work there too. Because that took away both the opportunity for easy looks and cut down significantly on free throws. VCU is top 25 in FTA at around 25 per game and ended the night with six, the first taken with six minutes left in the game. Just completely eliminated free throws and good looks from three. Hill went 3/9 from deep and a couple of those were just tip the cap ok good job hitting from a few feet back.
