Jordan Caroline and Eddie Keith II became quick friends when playing against each other on the high school circuit in Florida, so prior to Caroline’s Nevada Wolf Pack playing Keith’s Towson Tigers in the Las Vegas Holiday Hoops Classic on Wednesday at 2:30 p.m., Caroline planned to send his old buddy a text.
“Be ready,” Caroline said the text would read.
The Wolf Pack (9-2) would be wise to follow Caroline’s warning, too. Towson (7-4) has proven to be one of the nation’s toughest teams this year, its mix off versatile athletes putting pressure on the opposition for 40 minutes.
