Road trip!!

That's awesome news!

Wonder if it may help us land another recruit or two for next season? Not many chances to get to Alaska!

Cool Great news!!!!!

Hmmm...maybe I shouldn't have booked my flight to Boston for the UMass football game. Would love to go to this. Always wanted to go to Alasaka.

yeah, fun trip for the team. pretty even comp with good to average mid major teams. the winner will prob leave with a quality neutral court win and neutral court tourney titles are always good for post season bids. the key is making it a bonding trip for the team. alaska is unique so that adds to it.

Time to start watching for the schedule for next year. It will be critical to schedule winnable games with a young team. Would love a road trip to play IPFW here in Fort Wayne

a trip to Alaska is on my bucket list but Anchorage in late November doesn't sound all that appealing

Here's a link to the news release on the UT site.

Loyola won the CBI Tournament.

The Ramblers had three seniors, one of whom started, on their roster. Should be a very solid team next year.

What to do in Anchorage

Rockets headed for Alaska, as I think we all know. Here are a few links:

A story on the UT site about the road trip that started in Chicago. Rockets would face Loyola again in Anchorage if the Rockets and Ramblers have the same result in their openers.

A link to the Great Alaska Shootout Bracket: the times given in the bracket are Alaska time. I think the UT game on Wednesday night starts at 11:30 Eastern

A link to a preview from an Alaska TV station. It's not a breakdown of the match-ups: it's more about how to get tickets and how the folks in Alaska are trying to get people to go the games.

And the last link has nothing to do with the Shootout, but here's a little Johnny Horton for you if you're interested (as I'm showing my age again). North to Alaska ...

There's a story on the UT site (if two sentences qualify as a story) about Toledo's first day in Alaska. There's also a link to some photos of the trip.

First game is against a San Jose State team that was miserable last season (2 wins?), but is at 1-2 for the early season. Good test for the Rockets coming off that tough loss to Loyola--and just like Loyola, this is another "measuring stick" game for UT. Let's bounce back convincingly!

Any TV for this one?

CBS Sports Network. I have my DVR programmed to record it in case I can't stay awake.

Same channel the WMU football game is on this Friday.

Yeah. Looks like I'll be missing part of that one too.
