That's right, Phil. Fever went to two corners a little early. Let's see if Jones can right the ship. Don't want to jinx it but there's an obvious move to preserve a tie and send this one into overtime. Anything else would be a really bad move. #howbadcanitget? #worsttictactoegameever?

I'll get it started for you. ___|___|___ ___|___|___ X | |

Norm, the word is @basketballjones may have sprained his prax but details are sketchy at the moment. We'll pass along any updates as they come in. Back to you guys in the booth!

Not to pat ourselves on the back too hard, but I'd say we've got the makings of a solid play-by-play/color commentator pairing in this sport. I'm assuming tic tac toe tourneys get streamed on ESPN3, right? I'm in if you are.

I've never had a Northwood, only morning wood.

I am finally seeing the sort of baseline to baseline action I was promised by Dr Kenneth Sadler

I still remember the out of control layup he took that caused Doc to bench him for his career

This thread is officially my favorite corner of the internet.

Obviously it was rigged before it ever started. I think we should have a special prosecutor appointed immediately. And I nominate our designated bellwether.

Fever might get the yips. It ain't over 'til it's over.

Great move by Jones there. Now he’s making Fever play defense. #smartplay

GOT IT!!!

The gamble paid off, Fever let him off the hook. Looks like we're heading for good ol' fashioned tie. #I'monpinsandneedles

Exhibition score tonight: Southern Indiana 95, E Illinois 92 Just a hunch, but we may see a wee bit of offense on both sides Saturday night. SIU made 16 of 25 3-pt FGs. After being red hot vs Illinois, EIU cooled to 7 of 19 on 3s tonight. http://www.eiupanthers.com/boxscore.aspx?id=6398&path=mbball Illinois meltdown in full swing... To be fair, SIU is a pretty good Division II school, 25-5 a year ago. And they're the Screaming Eagles, so can't go wrong there.

Glad to know that Bakari & Tarin seem to be doing well in their new surroundings.

What stood out to me was that the girls seemed to be playing with an intensity and speed that was completely absent last year. Of course, Rachel's presence alone would ratchet up the intensity. Without Jessica there seemed to be more teamwork on offense than last year. The defensive intensity and effort was significantly more evident this year (and this was just an exhibition game). I don't know what the win/loss totals will be this year but this team is going to be much more fun to watch.

Row6Seat10 WAS there in spirit today. His good friends Richard and Denise Soukup (left) made a banner in his honor and long time Husker fan Kay (sp?) and I joined them for a photo after the game.

We're 91. We're 91!

Ah, back in the day....
