Watch them 1 more time....

I know that a guy from VCU is in it, but I don't know if he's on Fred's team or not

McGee's 3 pt Contest participants:

Here are the 5 players announced so far:

Tyrus McGee-Iowa State
Jordan Hulls-Indiana
Scott Wood-NC St
Ian Clark-Belmont
Isaiah Canaan-Murray St

Not sure how they have only announced 5 players when the event is 3 days away.

Add Garlon Green TCU to your list.

That's a misprint. He is in the dunk contest.

A few questions on the all star game that I couldn't find answers too. Who is the other coach and does Fred get to pick his own assistants or are they assigned?

All Star game teams announced:

NABC ANNOUNCES ROSTERS AND COACHES FOR REESE'S DIVISION I COLLEGE AL-STAR GAME - NABC

So it looks like McGruder is on the other team, I was incorrect on that one. I expect Will and Pierre to be key guys in this game for their team.

So the all-star game is played on Friday and not aired until Sunday?

Yep. Sunday at 1 on CBS.

add troy daniels from VCU to the 3 pt contest list.

You gotta love how geographically correct the East and West teams are as far as the schools go. Why not just call them the Red and Blue teams or something?

I am entirely too excited to watch Tyrus and Will one last time.

Gotta like Mcgee's chances.

Question, do the teams in the all-star game have practices? I ask because Jackson will be playing Thursday night fly from NYC to ATL and turn around with possible jet lag and play in less than 24 hours later. He was my favorite to win MVP, but he may be tired and not familiar with the game plan (if there is one).

I guess I'm not sure if the coaches actually coach or just let them go out there.

All set to record.

I answered my own question as Fred just tweeted that they finished their first practice in Atlanta. Gotta think this hurts Pierre's playing time, not being on the same page as the rest of the team, and lack of rest.

I have a question: was this like a draft sort of thing, cause it seems like Fred's players fit his style, just looking at how many guards compared to big men there are

That's what I was thinking too since a lot of East and West players should be on the opposite side if they were going off geography.
