The lights are about to come on for the 21-year old Andrews, a two-time NCAA champion middle distance runner who left the University of Virginia track program last fall to pursue a professional track career. He¡¯ll see his stiffest competition to date Saturday at the Adidas Grand Prix in New York, where he¡¯ll face a talented international field in a final tuneup before the U.S. Olympics team trials later this month.
McDermott, a 6-8 junior forward, doesn¡¯t look like an athlete, with out-turned feet and no discernible muscle tone. But he anticipates the ball exceptionally well, is active on the boards and can drive for baskets or hit from long range. And he did all that against the Bearcats, who shot horribly and often but stayed in the game by forcing 16 turnovers and tough shots.
In this context we can begin to appreciate our lives as a gift of God¡¯s mercy.? He has not given us what we deserve, but instead has given us another chance to do better today than yesterday.? The Father has been merciful.? You be merciful!?
Best stat: This, remember, from a guy who went for two and three 48 hours ago.
