That was a bad question

Nothing like Billy Gillespie to get a boring Tuesday night moving.

Gillespie, whose Wildcats lead Ole Miss 39-37 at the half, just ate Jeannine Edwards' for lunch as he walked off the floor at the end of the first half. Edwards wanted to know what adjustments Gillespie was going to make at halftime to get Jodie Meeks, the nation's third leading scorer, going after a first half in which he scored just 6 points.

Gillespie reminded Edwards that this was the University of Kentucky and not the Jodie Meeks show and his team had a two-point lead. Then he closed with, that was a bad question.

Made me chuckle.

About theMountFanBlog

The Mount FanBlog is hosted by Ryan Raffensperger, a sports fan of all types and a Mount Basketball fan forever.

Raffensperger has loved the Mount as long as he can remember, which basically means 1981 - and remembers the true #GloryDays of Memorial Gym. He remembers the players from those days to the athletes who play at Knott Arena today. And if it's a #MountMayhem day, it's going to be a good day.

He holds a Syracuse University degree in broadcast journalism. He has broadcast high school, college & minor league levels of all sports in his past and regularly covered high school football for his hometown paper. So the blog does make a little sense.

Raffensperger worked professionally as a CPA for many years, but the chronic inflammatory immune disease Sarcoidosis made it impossible to continue that in a manner he found acceptable. Since then, he has spent more time around the Mount St. Mary's basketball program and values Coach Dan Englestad, his staff, and the players' impact on him. The blog was much more active, but the advent of Twitter (follow @themountfanblog) has made writing a little less important. But he hopes that the balance swings back in favor of more traditional content soon.
