No conference conflicts in that one. It would make a great yearly road trip. These mini tournaments would make to much sense and to much money for the schools to actually do. I can’t for the life of me understand why they don’t. Packed arenas restaurants and hotels must be a bad thing in their minds. Things like this are what bring casual fans out of the woodwork. Maybe Covid putting programs in a financial strain will get some of these things going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking an L against a lesser local program diminishes your brand and improves theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Only news here are the likely game dates, of Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. In a second tweet Kilcoyne listed LSU and Northern Iowa as two of the opponents, but we already knew that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new fans and excitement in the local market would be good far all of the participants long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How soon do you guys think CNN, MSNBC and Fox News get a live panel together to discuss the Billikens opener this morning? (Just an attempt at levity considering what today is. Not trying to get political. Hope everybody stays safe today). drkelsey55, BilliKat, majerus mojo and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven forbid should Mizzery or Illiness lose a recruit to SLU because SLU beat them. Ooooh the inhumanity of it all. 1 hour ago, wgstl said: Am I coming in late on something?

billiken_roy Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 why are we still talking about gordon? he tried to tear team blue apart. there is no business in caring one iota about his success as a basketball player imo. he was a wasted scholarship in hindsight. i understand the leap at the chance, but it ended badly. let it go folks. dennis_w and bauman like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkansas State is no threat to Arkansas and Louisville is one of the winningest programs of all time, not a mid-major program on the rise. But when there is a threat from a mid-major, you see the fear dynamic playing out: See KU's avoidance of Wichita State, Tennessee's avoidance of Belmont, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost a couple seniors averaging single digits, but they get Taylor Funk back after he missed all last year. They'll miss Lorenzo Edwards I think, but Funk more than replaces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
