Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Christmas Day
DePaul at Creighton, 4:30pm, FOX - Jason Benetti and Jim Jackson
Line: Creighton -15.5/146

I wasn’t excited when they announced this, but now I’m actually looking forward to the game. Feel like the Jays should be able to move to 2-1 after this one if everything goes according to plan.

Merry Christmas to all.

Like seeing Benetti cover hoops- he's so good on baseball. He was a good pickup by Fox for sure.

Merry Christmas to all.

Hopefully the link above works. Some interesting details explaining how Fox offered the TV spot after the NFL, but no one other than Creighton or DePaul wanted to play on Christmas Day.

I wasn’t familiar with him but he’s great with Jimmy Jackson… I’m sorry Nick Bahe I love you but if you never announce another Creighton game I will be very happy.

Jays don’t seem right but have a 14 point lead. Three pointers are finally going in but we have so many turnovers it’s more than a little concerning.

Good, not great, game for CU. Never discount a Big East win, so we will take it and move on to the next one.

I’m interested to know if other schools’ fans would want to host a Christmas Day game. I don’t think many coaches would want to travel and play on the holiday, but think more than a few might want to host a game.

2.99 million on FOX. Most watch game ever on FOX.

I'll pass, I don't really think any sports should be played on Christmas. There should be at least 1 day per year that people can expect to be with their families.
