Sunday at Morehead.

Odd, since the days and times won't be announced until after all the games are played today.

Evan Dudley reporting game is in Birmingham.

He is not reporting. He is assuming. Could be right but it's not done yet. Details still being worked out.

Semantics. He is a reporter. Any public statement made within his "beat" as fact is by definition reporting in today's blogger led media world. He may be assuming; he may be incorrect; he may have not gotten confirmation...but his statement was not conditional. That would just make his report wrong, not non-existent. Standards are a lot lower in the 21st century.

The google says "At Morehead State," but no further details. I will be most unhappy if this is true.

Don't disagree.

I have heard a rumor you cannot host an NIT game in the same city as an NCAA game on the same day. Anyone know?

Never heard that. Even our AD told me in the Gg room that if Morehead upset Clemson we would host and it was up to tv to decide if it was Saturday or Sunday.

It says Sunday UAB at Morehead State - Arena: Littlejohn Coliseum (which is at Clemson)

Some peon at Google may have just put Morehead State in where they had Clemson. We'll see, but if it is in fact away on Sunday, Ingram will have to explain why he didn't exercise our option to host. And it better be a damned good explanation.

Google also has (2) North Texas at (3) Sam Houston State on Sunday. I wouldn't much stock in their current postings.

Morehead State webpage states game at UAB on Sunday at 3pm.

I actually don’t think they are a good team. The have a NET over 200 and played in a conference where every other team was over 200. They appeared to hit a stride in conference, but then lost their first game in the tournament. I will be extremely disappointed if we lose this game. It is absolutely something I would expect this team to do though.

ESPN+ again

Really hoping Vandy wins and we take care of business on Sunday. I'd love to see us play in Nashville.

KenPom has been updated to a home game for UAB.

KenPom has it UAB 81 - Morehead State 65.

BTW, UAB was favored by 10 when the game was posted as an away game.

It appears Clemson lost this game in the last five minutes, after leading the entire time until then. In fact Clemson started the game on a 10-0 run. Morehead State fought back to within 2 at halftime. Even though Morehead State trailed during the second half until 5 minutes to go, they hung close. Clemson couldn’t put any distance between them. Morehead State won the last 5 minutes 16-10.

Yes, we'll have to at least match Tuesday's effort. OVC > lowly Sun Belt.

Something I noticed that I like for us is they only played 7 guys. An 8th touched the court for a handful of minutes but all he did was get a foul and exit

Common opponent - West Virginia

WVU 75 - Morehead State 57
WVU led 37-28 at halftime.

WVU 81 - UAB 70
WVU led 40-31 at halftime. UAB started the second half on a 16-3 run, to take a brief lead at 47-45. It was over after that.

Do they still have the skinny “big man” that worked us pretty bad last year? That’s all I remember about their team.

Johni Broome. Transferred to Auburn, apparently had a good year there.

Johni Broome scored 20 points against us and had 12 rebounds, but he is 6’10” 235#. He was a star at Auburn this season.

So we won’t get to hear any hereeessss JOHNI jokes darn

Where is the email? I'm ready to buy tickets for Sunday's game.
