It's lightweight. I can't find a tag so unfortunately can't tell you the material.

Awesome!

Christian Anderson - their leading scorer with JT Toppin out - was the guy who slipped on the glass court in the Big 12 tourney and hurt his groin. Would be a shame if Shammah or Tavari hit him with a crossover hesi and he tweaked it again.

12:40 Friday on TruTv is what I'm hearing.

We want Hofstra!

Yes, they wear OSU gear, but they're mainly OSU football fans. 99% of them don't follow OSU basketball. I wouldn't be surprised if many are UNC or Duke bandwagon fans for hoops.

Okonkwo was at the game last night and the watch party.

3 things. 1) The MAC does the conference no favors by having the conference schedule be on Tuesdays with big games flexed to Friday nights. Both days are boys high school basketball game nights in Ohio. Seeds 1-6 this year were all the Ohio schools, meaning a good chunk of their prospective attendance is being eliminated during the regular season. 2) We need to find the money for a JAR renovation. I know Kaulig is mainly on the football side, but he could really plant his flag at the University and help both basketball and football by getting naming rights on both the JAR and Info. 3) Home opponents need to be better.

I like it, UA can win this!! Best matchup we've had IMO.

The Zips had the easiest path to a championship that I can remember and made it as difficult as possible. Three stressful games that shouldn't have been stressful at all. But in the end, the best team in the conference rose to the top.
