I don’t think you want Franklin trying basketball.

Seton Hall coming out of the Big East gates strong

Crazy. Not sure if it's familiarity or what.

Also eff UConn

Big w for the friars last night

All the Big East home teams held serve except the one who may have the best homecourt atmosphere in the conference. Creighton yaks a 14-pt lead and Villanova gets them in OT.

Meanwhile, 3 undefeateds left - Houston, Ole Miss, James Madison. Madison should be favored in the rest of their games as the Sun Belt isn’t that strong. So it may be a while before the 76 Hoosiers can pop this year’s cork.

Providence had a golden Ticket in today’s game.

Love that guy. Well executed play, then they blew ‘em out in the OT. Missed it live, due to in laws Christmas party:(

Ticket saves Christmas!

Best game of the year so far - FAU 96, Arizona 95 in double OT. Game made it feel like late March/early April.

Cuse playing man defense just ain't right

@RonnieFranchise That Hopkins injury doesn’t sound all that great.

Game #2 of the trip. Notre Dame yaks a big lead and gives up a layup with under a second left to lose it to NC State. Any guesses for the Thursday game?

Based on your eastward travel so far, I'm guessing it's one of the following:

PSU @ MSU
Cleveland St @ Wright State
Minny @ Michigan

I’m hoping the answer involves the the gym that hosted the hickory huskers in the Indiana state championship

The first one.

That one’s Friday.

I tip my cap. I feel like a trip to hinkle is a must for a refined sports fan.

Out for season. English is fond of saying "So what, now what?" But this is a pretty big So What, especially defensively.

Game #3 -- Bad night for the Nittany Kitties

Postby **RonnieFranchise** » Fri Jan 05, 2024 8:23 pm

OP You get out there and you beat UConn right freaking now!~

Zips cruising to a w in the national spotlight on cbs sports tonight. #maction

Great second half from the Zippers. Enrique Freeman should be a household name

Postby **Orlando Penguin** » Fri Jan 05, 2024 11:35 pm

Game #4 -- Hinkle rarely disappoints. Surprisingly good game tonight. One more to go...should be an easy guess as to which one.

Postby **willeyeam** » Fri Jan 05, 2024 11:37 pm

Would love to see a game there. That and the Palestra are near the top of my list
