is it me or is Benetti getting more assignments that Tim Brando would have gotten before? I get Gus Johnson not being there- he'll be calling the Holiday Bowl for Big Fox.

We'll be mic'd up in New York:

Harley’s lobbying for a “T”. What are the odds that he’s still on the floor at the end of the game and not in the locker room?

I find myself rooting for Nova although it’s probably better for the league to have UConn near the top of the polls. Good game so far.

[DudeAnon]

First time really watching Nova this year and they seem tough, only problem is UConn is tougher and doesn't have any apparent weaknesses.

Good win Huskies. “Get us now…” b/c if Justin Moore is on the floor that might have been a different result. Hopefully we’ll get 2 squads at full strength the next meeting.

The formula for success for Villanova teams in recent years has been to make 3’s, hit their FTs, and not to turn the ball over. They have continued the Jay Wright formula under Neptune, leading the national in FT% and being top 50 in both made 3’s and fewest turnovers. So, I was shocked tonight to see them turn the ball over 18 times and miss 17 of 22 3’s. That was the game right there.

[Omaha1]

I enjoy mic’s up games. Sean Miller and Mike Anderson tonight have been a contrast in styles.

[Jasper67]

I found that Fox’s split screen with coaches in boxes off to the side made the game unwatchable. Did anyone else have the same problem?
