College Bball Thread

ESPN used to open the season with a 24-hour basketball marathon. You could get a game at 3 a.m., at 9 a.m., at 1 p.m. -- whenever you wanted. I'm disappointed they canceled this after last season. I thought it was kinda fun.

I’ll be at the game tomorrow night. Hope it’s a good one!

Seems like USI is a good 10-15 points better than Chicago State.

This game does absolutely nothing for IU. We couldn’t have gotten a decent mid major instead? An Evansville or Ball State?

It is the first game relax. We have a plenty hard enough schedule as it is.

Let the Carnage begin!!!
 
Some huge games to keep track of tomorrow. Duke/Kentucky and MSU/Kansas the biggest. We get to cheer for John Konchar and the Mastadons to beat UCLA. Wofford trying to play spoiler again against UNC. In all 20/25 ESPN ranked teams play tomorrow.  I can only imagine the excitement at the USPS household. Tension you can cut with a knife!!
 
 

I will probably record these games and watch later. I am a political junkie and will watch the returns after the Hoosier game.

As much as I love college basketball tomorrow is about the election for me. Wednesday morning will be for basketball. 

I'll watch the Hoosier game, but then it's the election

I’ll watch the Hoosiers, but only so I can hopefully catch a few indiana senate candidate commercials at the breaks. Can’t get enough of those!

Another sign of Fred Glass and McRobbie trying to destroy any chance of us becoming a top tier athletic program. Shame.

Duke plays Hartford and Stetson.
North Carolina plays Wofford, Elon and St Francis (Pa).
Kentucky plays VMI and SIU
Villanova plays Morgan State and Quinnipiac.
MSU plays Northern Illinois, Oakland and Louisiana Monroe
Michigan plays Binghamton and Norfolk State.

Their ADs and Presidents must want to destroy their top tier programs.
IU doesnt play near the bottom feeders they used. IMO, this pre conference schedule is good.

On behalf of Walking Boot, I believe I can very safely say his post was tongue in cheek.

Gradman, on the other hand, was quite serious.

Mario Kegler suspended for the first six games due to violation of team rules, Baylor coach Scott Drew told @watchstadium.

Violated rules at Baylor must be bad. Honestly lost track of this kid after Miss. St.

Definitely an exciting time at the USPS household. Mrs USPS was excited helping me carry one of the TVs downstairs for the setup. Lol. Seriously though I’m fortunate enough and thankful to have a wife that enables and accepts my college basketball obsession.
I will post some pictures tomorrow. A couple more games to watch tomorrow.
Florida/Florida St
Western Kentucky/Washington
BYU/Nevada
UMBC/Marquette. I just want to see how UMBC handles being in spotlight now instead of people just saying what is UMBC
Indiana St/Ball St. Go trees
Work won’t get over fast enough tomorrow.
Stuhoo can u do me a favor and post that Gif of the LLV(Postal truck) doing a doughnut and burnout. Last year when you posted that I couldn’t stop laughing

My 12 year old has the entire evening planned out for our watching pleasure. Gonna be hard to keep the IU Chicago State game up on the screen with so many big time match-ups in the mix.
 

Time for you to invest in the multiple TV setup. It’s a game changer

I'm sure you are correct. I just used it as a springboard to my post.

At least it's a team that's nearby. Crean would pay teams like this to come from 2,000 miles away.

Montana State fits this description....later this week

[OliviaPope40]

Oh what to watch tomorrow night.
