ESPN 99.5 FM Classic

[yraciv]

Big doubleheader in Bentonville tonight that they are calling the ESPN 99.5 Classic.

5:30 Columbia Hickman vs. Arkansas Baptist - Hickman has our commit Jimmy Whitt, while Arkansas Baptist is led by the 7'1, FR Connor Vanover, and his brother who I think is a JR and also around 7 foot.

7:00  Bentonville vs. St. Louis Chaminade - We all know Bentonville is led by Monk, top 5 2016, but Chaminade is led by Jayson Tatum, 6'7 wing, who is the #1 player in the 2016 class.  They've also got a 6'8, JR PF Tyler Clark who will be a Top 100 player next year as well.

Should be some high level basketball, and I'd like to be surprised and see the Arkansas teams keep one close.  I don't know about the video situation, so if anyone hears let me know.  Safe to assume you can probably listen to the games on 99.5.  I hear tickets are near impossible to get at this point.

86-77 win for the Tigers. Monk dropped 45 pts with 5 reb, 2 stl, & 1 blk and ended it with a thunderous tomahawk jam! The legend continues to grow.
