I was going to ask maybe start a thread see if anyone's going to the watch party (closest to me is the Yarmouth) but I there's not much activity here on the board let alone people from Cape.

I have a 2 y/o whose mom is working all weekend, otherwise I'd be in Buffalo.

Anyway... Are those official ...

Bowling Green vs Minnesota Duluth is going extra.

ESPNU says you can watch on ESPN App in the meantime. Anybody that is trying to watch have luck?

If that's it, then all teams faced on other side of bracket. On paper Harvard looks good, Clarkson seems to have had their number.

Would it be slim pickings for trying to buy cans to-go on Saturdays? Or do they usually have some left (i.e. not just tap room pours)

Will winning help, sure. But at a deeper, secular level, many of the BIG 5 universities are having a hard time engaging current undergrads in attending, and [...] if a game is not seen as: 1. "Cool, must attend" [...], they will 'blow it off'.

This is one thing that frustrates me because it's ...

Getting back to the game, I liked Whips comment to the question if anyone was seriously hurt after the Colorado game: "It's hard to get hurt if you don't hit anybody"!
LOL! Not a message you want to hear, but well deserved after last week.

Agree with you Ridge, if I may modify it to say "Not a ...

Harvard is 103. No mention of Howard or Central Arkansas yet :lol: .

More talk ...

I'll be there with dad and a BU alumna who'll be rooting for UMass!

aggreed about the facility. It's nice, and with a decent capacity considering its location

awesome to the hoops play well on ESPNU last night also.

Happy Friday all

What a win by LSU over #16 WVU in West Virginia!! Makes our loss a little better now. Great game all around.

couldn't believe ...

And this is coming from a Republican

Same here! Also a Republican, completely agree.

I like the idea of attracing some gay super-talents to Amherst.

That could be a strong selling point. Not only because of DG but the surrounding communities.

Marty - the main knock against the RPI is that it contains no margin-of-victory. The main knock against Kenpom is that it contains no strength of schedule AND the margin of victory, while it has a ceiling, in conjunction with no regard for opponent's strength, rewards teams inordinately for beating ...

Why would anyone say Iowa is better than UMass right now? Iowa has lost six of their last seven. In the last two months Tennessee has managed to beat Auburn. That's it for 'good' teams. All of the picks for Tennessee and Iowa are based on margin-of-victory metrics or their membership in BCS ...
