Hey Misfit, I was just joking with you about the wrong date and day but now that you have corrected it I see you invented a new day called Thursay !!! Again I am just joking with you about it.

Tigers -12.5 Let's double that!

Crazy that this game is on espn

One of the benefits of being ranked in the top 10.

I guess when given the option of USF-Memphis or Wichita St-FAU, they decided to go with one of, if not the, hottest team in the country -- in one of the coldest places in the country.

Hope their vehicles don't get broken into.

Don't overlook the Bulls. They won 7 of their last 8 games and are playing very well. Most of their loses were in the first part of the season when they were breaking in a new coach and roster. They are playing with a lot of confidence right now. This could be a trap game if we don't get on top of them from the start.

Saw this morning that a tractor trailer jack-knifed on E. Holmes Rd right by the Amazon distribution center last night at 2330. The whole road is a cluster**** and not one cop has shown up still. During the time it's sat there thieves have already tried to break into the trailer. LOL

MAF... Memphis as, well you know the rest.

I guess the AAC contract with ESPN is better than I thought? Better to play the Thursday/Sunday format?

There are only three ranked teams playing tonight:
#10 Memphis v South Florida (ESPN)
#23 FAU v Wichita St (ESPN2)
#14 Illinois v Michigan (FS1)

Illinois is in the Big10, and they have a contract with Fox, CBS and NBC.

Yep... wave our hands at them from two feet away as they sink a three.

I hope for no 3's for the first 8 minutes. Pound the ball down their throats.

The line is -10. I’d take USF. Going to be a dead atmosphere and their strengths are our weaknesses

Opened at 12.5 so money is coming in on USF. I'd disagree about their strengths though...they don't shoot (33% from 3) or rebound particularly well. Slight advantage on Turnovers per game.

Don’t forget to bet the farm

The university just tweeted encouraging fans to stay home. Anyone who attends gets to sit in the lower bowl. Limited concession options tonight

General Admission, huh? I'm starting to think it might be worth me heading downtown tonight. I really hate not using my tickets.

I put $2 on every game. I’m 16-1 for the season

Agreed, glad you were able to beat me to it. Memphis TT is at 84, and I think it'll be tough to get there in a dead atmosphere. Seems like a game for Memphis just to escape with a win, and move on to the next game.
