Orlando Invitational Tournament Thread

I thought I saw somewhere that all the games this weekend will be televised on various ESPN channels.  Has anyone seen that confirmed?

You....Da man!

Thanks.

Normally always the case on ESPN owned events. Worst case in some, it is online only. Not in Orlando.


Thursday:
Early games from Orlando (Temple/Maryland and A&M/Harvard) are Dave Feldman/Dan Dakich. Late games (USC/Fairfield and Davidson/Marquette) are Ted Emrich, Andy Kennedy.

Oh great....Dan Dickich.
Hope we avoid him as long as we can.

My son wears them for his sixth grade basketball games.

OK everyone, here's the deal...  Thanksgiving dinner is at 5:30pm sharp tomorrow.   In order to fully watch and appreciate the game, I'm going to DVR it and watch it later.  Problem is, I can't help but to check scoop about 783 times an hour.

So here's the deal, I need everyone to stop posting once the game starts unless it is not basketball related (that should be easy for some of you).  I'll log in after I've watched the game to let you know that you can discuss it. 

I appreciate your help on this.  Thanks everyone!

I appreciate your sense of humor.

I, for one, don't go anywhere near Scoop once the game starts.

Sometimes I like to read the game threads later, especially in situations like the Purdue game, when we're down early and come back to win. All the usual suspects either proclaiming, by name, every player who sucks and will never be any good or seemingly celebrating an expected Wojo loss (or both). Then most of them mysteriously disappear after the win. It's pretty top-notch entertainment.

Obviously, the solution is to grow some stones and insist that dinner be either at 3:30 or 8:30.

We are having another couple over and they happen to be big Cowboys fans. Here in the Eastern time zone, that game starts at 4:30 and the MU game is at 6:30. I told them we are eating at 3:30 and they are welcome to stay as late as they want, but at 6:30 football is off and we're watching the Warriors. They will be leaving at halftime so they can go home to watch their 'Boys play the second half.

You wanted that in blue,right?

Regarding the bolded, in reality I do the same!  Too much negativity for me.  Even reading later can be depressing. 

I'm curious now what most people are doing tomorrow.  I unfortunately have no choice, but are others changing their plans to watch the game?   Will you have to argue with family regarding football vs. MUBB?


Wellsstreet, I don't do blue or teal.  Anyone who doesn't understand my jokes for what they are sort of become the joke to me.

So is it Espn 2 or EspnU tomorrow?
I assume if USC will be Espn/2
If Fairfield the U?

It's not decided yet (presumably) because ESPN wants to see who is in the losers bracket of the battle 4 atlantis at the competing time slot. I'd guess if Michigan or UNC are in that game, it'll be on 2 and we'll get the U.  (Michigan currently winning their first game)

But on the plus side, the B4A bracket shows that game on ESPNU, so likely expect our game to be on 2... But not guaranteed.

Other tournaments in the mix for a time.

Ahh..gotcha. Thank you both.

That's a great top-end lineup with some quality mid-majors. Tough ask for Xavier, but they do return most of this year's team.

MU opens at -3

Game being recorded.  My eternal question is whether to start watching live when I can or to start at the beginning.

[We R Final Four]

I'm only watching from the beginning.

Officially on ESPNU

Seton Hall is the real deal. So far we are not in the same league. Reality will slowly set in or maybe a miracle will happen. It will take a miracle and if it does I will be the first to give Wojo a big fat raise.

Myles Powell is. Not convinced the rest of the team is.
