24 Hour College Basketball Marathon

Christmas comes early for ye olde chef this year.

 

Fresh shipment of ether and scalpels?

 

If I wasn't working, I would stay up to watch Hawaii later this morning.

Let get this started, baby!

 

Seems a little weird that they're starting this with a game in the Central Time Zone. Wasn't there a west coast game they could schedule for a 9 p.m. local tip off?

 

isn't the Monmouth game at 6 am the first one, or was that last year?

 

No, this Memphis-Miami game is first. St. John's at Saint Mary's follows around 2 EST, then Central Michigan at Hawaii at 4. THEN the 6 a.m. Stony Brook-Monmouth game.
I guess they were trying to do rolling 11 p.m. local tip offs for the first three games. In a lot of ways it's unique enough to sell people on, I suppose.

 

may have to watch some of the first 2. Is St. Mary's one of those schools with the wooden bleachers, like hs gyms?

 

Caught most of the second half of Central Michigan-Hawaii; now watching Fred Flintstone U. (Stony Brook) @ Monmouth.

BTW- What the hell is Monmouth's mascot? Whatever it is, they have it at center court, and it is creeping me out.

 

Thank God I love college basketball, because only an insane person would watch this game.

5:36 left in the first half, and it's 15-14; Stony Brook is a blistering 2-9 from the free throw line.

 

I'm not sure what's more annoying from this Kent-Robert Morris game, the screaming woman in the stands, or LaPhonso Ellis.

 

24 hours of bad basketball

 

more like 18 hours of bad basketball;

VA Tech @ KState
South Carolina @ Michigan State
Ohio St. @ Florida

these 3 will be the best games of the slate.

Miami @ Memphis last night was pretty good as well.
