Kind of weird scheduling by the HL. Travel partners WSU and NKU go to Michigan on Friday to play OU and UDM respectively. WSU stays in Detroit and plays UDM on Sunday, but NKU goes home and waits to play OU at home on Monday?

I mentioned this scenario in another thread. There's not enough weekends in the season to use travel partners for the whole schedule, so some teams have to travel to the sane partner twice.

although sometimes they are NOT sane....  like our one-off game against the Mighty CSU Vikings in the Vast Cavernous almost always packed with lots of seats Quicken Loans Center on Tuesday the 16th.

Watching Oakland vs. Wright St.  How did we lose to WSU   :'(  Oakland trying something new, Kampe shaved wearing a suit jacket and team playing defense. 
CRUSADERS!!!

NKU just swept the Michigan trip.  I thought Valpo sweeping Oakland and Detroit was good but NKU just completed the same accomplishment.

But was it by a billion points like us!?

Bravo to NKU. I don't think anybody expected that to start the year.

Quote from: talksalot on January 28, 2016, 08:38:33 AMYoungstown State @ UIC - Penguins are 4 point favorites. 

Wow! I don't care who you are (ahem, take notice Lunardi) that was an impressive prediction. Final: YSU 82, UIC 78. Is that right? If your money was on YSU you lose because they didn't cover the spread the Penguins just matched it?

How about this video. Talk about distracting a player during free throws! Phelps should go back to smoking pot.
