Good lord, this game is gonna go past my bedtime!
I'm not greedy, I'd be happy with a 23 point win!!boognish_bear said:
The last time we played Arkansas was 2009 and BU won 70-47. More of that please!
Now it's "only" 6.5....boognish_bear said:
Is my watch broken? Do we really still have 8 hours until tipoff??
