Memphis is on FIRE.

Oh my word Memphis is making friggin’ everything.

Memphis is seriously en fuego 

Yep.  Could be wrong about them hanging on.  Can't see them blowing this lead.

Yeah really thought Nebraska might be alright until they lost to someone terrible opening night (not looking it up, feeling lazy)

Off the top of my head, I think it was Western Illinois.  Could of beat Eastern Illinois, but believe it was one of the directionals.

I didn't realize Penny's son played for him.  Looked at his stats over his career and see that while he gets some minutes, he doesn't really 'play'.

So Duren goes in for a breakaway dunk, gets fouled and crumples to the floor. They're checking to see if it's a common or flagrant foul. 

Meanwhile, we get one replay. One.

What is with ESPN? They'd usually show that a half-dozen times.

We’re due for a long Memphis drought here. They’re up 9 with 15:14 left. Alabama wins if it hits a near-average number of threes down the stretch.

Well Bama is 5/21 on threes, AND Memphis has hit 63% of its twos and grabbed almost half its misses. So it’s probably over.

Basketball is a funny game:

D2 Stanislaus St is 2-6 and coming off a 13 point loss to Humbolt St.

Saint Mary’s is 9-2, beat ND, hung with Wisky, and routinely gives Gonzaga trouble.

Stanislaus St is ahead by one in the second half.

Drexel hangs on to beat 1-14 Coppin State by a score of 76-69.  Good thing, because losing to a team wearing your practice jerseys would be really embarassing.

Didn't realize that St. Thomas (Minnesota) is now a D1 basketball team.  Nickname:  the Tommies.

Sorry, but the St. Thomas Tommies sounds like a made up team.

Crazy thing is if they lose this game it won’t effect their NET ranking.  NET only takes in account D1 opponents. Unless that changed with the new changes for this year

Per CBS:

• It took Purdue 380 weeks in the AP poll to finally get to No. 1. Here are the five programs with the most poll appearances without getting to the top: Maryland (433), Utah (239), Minnesota (236), LSU (216), Vanderbilt (204). All have been No. 2.

I lived in Minnesota for a while. They also have the St. John's Jonnies and St. Olaf Oles.

Used to be a really good D-III conference across the board -- the MIAC (Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference). But apparently St. Thomas started getting a lot bigger than the other schools in terms of enrollment, started spending a ton of money on athletics (compared to the other schools) and were winning everything -- so they get kicked out of the league. 

Looks like they're DI in basketball and maybe FCS in football now. I didn't realize all that happened.

Is Olaf the coach for St. Olaf? Anna the president of the school? (Hoping people with children understand)

They all have great Christmas Programs I've watched on PBS also. Just watched one from St Thomas this weekend
