9pm tip (which probably means closer to 10pm since there are games before that will no doubt run long). I don't know how long I can make it thanks to this pesky job. At least Lomers will be up.

UT Martin? I've heard of UT Chattanooga before and of course UT Knoxville. Is there actually a town called Martin?

Official attendance at the first game between Oregon St and UTSA was 712. That's not a typo.

Doesn't surprise me. Who's going to this thing that has to travel more than an hour?

Might be 2OT or might be the luckiest finish we'll see all year...

That's a USU winner!

Glancing at their roster, they must look pretty impressive in the airport. 4 guys right at or over 7 feet tall. 6-5 guards. Very tall team.

Gonzaga pouring it on UNC. I guess cheating caught up with UNC but not KU.

Really hard asking folks to watch a hoops game at 10:30 p.m. when they have to get up at 5:30 a.m. to go to work.

Ridiculous actually.

Even late for us in the CST. When I see this it makes me wonder how OU, OSU and UT fans would have felt had they left for the PAC 12 and faced these kinda things all the time with games on the West Coast.

They were never really going to be in the "Pac 12" They were to be relegated to a new division with Colorado, the Arizona schools and the Big 12 defects including TT. UT thought they would be playing USC and UCLA and Stanford and Cal every year. LOL. That was never going to happen.
