Louisiana Tech has no clue about ETSU and the little tustle back in 1969. I take great satisfaction in knowing Terry Bradshaw carries that game around for all these years....He's a conceded sort.

I'm glad we're in this, but I wonder how well attended this will be. I would love to go if I didn't have to stay home and try to pay the bills.

I did some checking on Expedia and as of Sunday, you could get a round trip flight and hotel room, Sunday-Thursday at Mandalay Bay for just under $1200 total, taxes included.

I was >< close to convincing my husband, but he has a work thing. I'm not keen on going alone and it's way too short notice for any of my friends that might have gone. The price of flights and rooms is a lot less than I expected.

This is from an article in February prior to the field being cut to 8. So not sure if it will change how it will be broadcast. Hoping it is streamed since I don't have cable TV anymore.

College basketball’s new post-season tournament titled the ‘Vegas 16’ has a new television home. CBS Sports will provide the coverage, according to BD Global Sports. The agreement allows CBS Sports to televise seven games, the quarterfinals, semifinals and championship game.

In the streaming arena, College Sports Live and Vegas16.com will provide a live stream of the eight first-round games.

The Vegas 16 features 16 men’s basketball teams in a five-day single-elimination tournament at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.


I looked on the College Sports Live schedule and it does show our game listed as a premium event. College Sports Live I can get on my Roku, but there is a $9.99 monthly fee. But you can just buy one month of premium service apparently.

I see we are a 1.5 point underdog to Tech. So I expect a close game all the way.

A lot of their fans over-cocky, hopefully that's the same attitude the team holds.

I really hope we don't come out flat in this game. Disappointment from not beating UTC in the finals, the time off from our last game, no NIT bid, Bello maybe having thoughts on the slam dunk contest, and being in Vegas, etc. could be distractions. Hoping for a tough fought win.

I don't think this team has any quit in it. I haven't seen it all year. They are underestimating us because they think they are a larger conference team and just because we aren't in the CUSA, we must not be that good. The RPI speaks for itself.

CUSA had a lower RPI than the Socon this year. They may think they are in a better conference but as far as basketball goes both conferences are pretty even.

Looks like they have a bunch of Big guards 6'4 to 6'6 and one big 6'8 forward who do all the scoring (mostly the 6'4 guard the 6'8 forward).
Our guards are at a disadvantage size wise. Hamilton the 6'4 scorer is also the creator with 6.2 assists per game. They don't seem to
shoot the 3 much (hit 7 a game) but defend it well, give up 6 a game at 31%.

It will be interesting to see if we can defend them without fouling them.

Not only did the organizers cancel half of the tourney, they've also cancelled the Welcome banquet for the teams. Such a great event...

He's distancing himself - in an effort to conceal his identity - since we all know who he is. He's vacillated from the extreme of defending every perceived criticism to being the critic himself. #Transparent

I do hope that the entry fee was reduced to reflect the changes made to the tournament. yeah it is a nice reward for the players but not sure it is still 50,000 nice.
I would hope Sander and Forbes (and the other coaches and ADs) were savvy enough to point that.
