Its gameday. I started the last game thread. We won.  I'm superstitious. Here ya go. Let's make it a winning streak.

Lots of sports world royalty might see this game or be aware. Superbowl in town. National awareness. Just saying a good impression/bad impression to be had.

[tower912]

play smart, play hard, frustrate the Johnnies and walk out with a W. 

[Litehouse]

Big stage today with the double-header and Super Bowl in town, hopefully they step and make a good impression.  Does DWade make a celebrity appearance?

[jsglow]

Already?

Wow.... I simply can't believe Derrick put on his left sock before his right.  What D1 Point Guard does that?   

[Eldon]

Anyone in NYC for the game? what are tickets going for?

[willie warrior]

Kick their butt.

[Archies Bat]

Kick their butt.

I hope you are right!

They are ranging from $45 (top of the Garden) to well over a $100 the closer to the floor you get.

Bump

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Here's why I love this matchup with the Johnnies,

1) They play with talent instead of a gameplan. Buzz should be able to outcoach Lavin
2) Their defense is porous (besides getting blocks)
3) They only have two real three point threats (Greene IV and Harrison). Most of their lineup scores by drivng to the bucket. We saw what happened against Providence when teams can't hit their threes against us.

RING OUT AHOYA!!!

Snow is not a balanced breakfast, may I recommend bacon next time.

Great the Globetrotters are going to OT.  Hope we don't get bumped to FS2!

Sam Worthen coaches the Washington Generals.  Got a T in OT and lost it for them.

edit:   Didn't realize that he didn't coach them anymore, figured it was still him on the bench.  Will take Chick's word for it.

Sam Worthen was the coach of the Washington Generals for many years.  He may hold the distinction of being the losingest cost in the history of professional basketball.

A friend of mine's nephew played on the Washington Generals for a year.  He loved it.  Traveled all over the world, earned some cash, and had a ball.

Chatroom is onnnn

I'm leaving the house mid-game... hopefully watching the end of my phone. Glad I won't have to listen to gus johnsIn. Yuck.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Is this our first game with Bill and Gus?
