    If it happens once, why can't it happen again? I'm an optimist

    It is an occupational hazard for me.

    The MBB out-of-conference schedule

    It's important to know your team. Seton Hall played in an event with USC, Iowa and Oklahoma. That event could have been played on SHU's campus and the Pirates still would have taken two losses. They were clearly the weakest team in that event.

    Omigosh, completely forgot about them and I sat courtside & watched them take 2 Ls. They play this morning at 10:30.

    It is magical when Walton is on the call for a game.

    The MBB out-of-conference schedule

    The teams for the 2024 ESPN Events Invitational (Disney World) are not set yet. I don't think they have had a team from the B1G since Maryland won the tournament in 2019. I don't think conference TV deals matter, they have teams from conferences who don't have TV deals with ESPN.

    I forgot about those years. I'm a forward thinker 😂

    Generational talent? You think it will be at least 15 years before Rutgers recruits talent like that again?

    Yup, and Dayton will play in Maui for the second time since 2019 and fifth time since 2000. Is Dayton expected to be a top-10 team next season?

    The MBB out-of-conference schedule

    If Rutgers is a potential top ten team next season it needs to play in the Maui Invitational, Battle 4 Atlantis or, at least, the ESPN Invitational. If RU gets an invitation to any of those three next season the athletic director should make them accept.

    Northwestern/Mississippi State

    Purdue and Wisconsin picked up good wins. Louisville is awful. They got a one-point struggle win over a UMBC team that lost to Marist.

    Northwestern/Mississippi State

    The B1G is looking mediocre rn. That could change during Feast Week games 🤷🏾‍♂️ A B1G "watcher" that I talk with thinks that the B1G will be "lucky" to get 5 teams in the tournament this year. I think that's a harsh assessment but time will tell.

    Shaheen Halloway post game handshake 😳

    Copeland had his team pressing SHU's bench warmers (maybe even some walk-ons, even with 37 seconds left. Stay with your man but let them dribble the shot clock down to zero. That's probably what Copeland was apologizing for. Unfortunately for Seton Hall instead of people talking about the win...
