Teams are doing more tournament hopping at Christmas than ever before. Why? It seems that a team will move to a Christmas tourney because they play one or none of the teams to get more new games on their schedule. Other teams get out and it creeps to two or four. Time to move on [...]

Apologies for a late start to the new year! Hopefully everyone is still rolling along on their New Year’s Resolution….or better yet if you didn’t resolute anything….is resolute even a word?

Well the three days are over. It can seem long at times, but overall the tournament passes by quickly. I was able to afford much more rest during this year’s tournament.

After this is the Big T-eleven conference games and I am pessimistic about their future. 27th Annual Busch Braggin’ Rights • St. Louis, Mo. • Scottrade Center (22,153) Game #11: Illinois (6-4) vs. Missouri [...]

Inexcusable. Good grief. How bad will the Illini be? Think about next year if you dare. They could be worse. No one is afraid to play at the Assembly Hall. It is a tomb there. Illinois scored the final seven points in regulation to force overtime, but couldn’t muster enough offense down the stretch, making [...]
