setup a VPN, then you are wherever you need to be to make it work. I use PIA *Private Internet Access* to watch free soccer streams as if I were in England, the same should work for you.

I strongly suspect that CUSA teams were even more strongly "encouraged" by the conference powers that be to accept any post-season tournament offer that came along, perhaps as a way to increase the conference's profile...

The Blazers, will face a highly intelligent team with Brown the Althetecism will not be the same, but they will be smaller and shorter and smarter, its kind of like playing Harvard or Cornell, they will run and play the Clock, Its, two tails of Basketball should be a interesting basketball game. Watch out for swoop and move and two step to the rim. That's what they do. One arm over they other and two steps to Basket. That's how they play in the Northeast.

My tip-off time, I’ll have way too many frozen drinks to understand that...I think I’ll just catch this one on replay when I get home Friday

But still appreciate the advice

Not a tournament we really want to be in but I'm glad to have another UAB game to watch. I'm a basketball fan so I'll watch a lot of games over the next couple of weeks but I really won't care much about 'em. Maybe to see a few teams lose.

After that it will be a long drought for me until football season starts. Not much of a baseball or Iron fan so it will be the Legion until August. I enjoy pro soccer but it's kind of a stand in for Blazer sports.

Thanks for letting them play and letting us watch another game, UAB.
Maybe Tamell Pearson goes beast mode tonight! Love to see it.

Maybe, but UTSA did turn down the invitation.

Down 7-0 early.
Make that 9-0

No radio

We are getting drilled. It seems the guys are not prepared or even ready to play.

Season preview for next year:

If winning the CBI is a possible predictor of future NCAA tournament success, what is losing in the first round to a team without their best player a predictor of?

Be one of the 2500 people to show up to Bartow Arena next year to find out.

Won't argue with the attendance prediction but a long way to go in this game. Ain't over til it's over.

I was highly critical of Davis for a lot of valid reasons but theres no doubt he could coach circles around Ehsan.
