Hey pdub, checkout those start times, assuming we're winning.

It could be worse.

The only game of this I may end up watching ( if we are winning ) will be the final.

You know tip will be closer to 10:45 than 10:30 Tuesday.

Gonna be fun seeing them get tested by Kentucky and two top 10 teams in the span of a week.

Not to mention the Illinois exhibition. They'll end up being a top 15 team as well. This team is going to get battle tested, which they need due to the amount of new faces in our main rotation.

Any word on if KJ is coming to Hawaii?

My guess is he hasn't made a decision - and Self won't pressure him either way.

I hadn't heard about this.

How brutal. My heart goes out to him.

My mother just turned 96, and is on hospice. Even at my age, losing my mother is going to be hard.

During two years of watching her die, I'd guess he's been grieving her loss for some time already. If he asked me, I'd tell him to go, unless he just doesn't want to. He's been living in a miasma of her death for so long, this would be an opportunity to act, and make a break from it. They can always have the funeral when he gets back.

Not that my opinion matters.

Potentially, two of our games happen during sunset. That’s no good.

This is an excellent article.

Sorry about your mother!
I agree with your sentiments about KJ but whatever he (and his family and his team) decide, I will respect the decision.

Thanks Gutter.

Of course, I just wouldn't want him to hold himself to some imagined standard that it would be unseemly if he did to.

I don't know if any of you have seen this but there are some pretty cool items.

For those of you wondering why someone would bid $3000 on the Oregon Package, the shoes (like them or not) are worth a shitload. Obviously whatever someone is willing to pay and sell them for but they are valued at at least $3000. Of course they are in my size. Unfortunately I can't justify paying $3000+ for them. Even if the money is going to charity and I can get/use a "write off".

Damn, "my size" too.

My heart breaks for the young man; I can't imagine losing a parent at such a young age.

I want Marquette and then Purdue. Let's play the big dogs early and truly see where we are at.

Even though this team has veterans, only 3 have been in battles together. We need HD and Elmarko to have some high intensity battles in tournament settings with DH KM and Kj.

What a night of basketball. Purdue versus Tennessee just tipped.
