New BBall Life

By Chris

O.K. So you heard I was bumbed out about ODU basketball ending. And, their loss in their conference tournament on day one. Well a series of unexpected events, culminating with a completely unexpected win by Manhatten University at University of Maryland today, means that ODU will play Manhatten in town on Monday night at 9 p.m. in the National Invitation Tournament (not the main tourney, but we'll take it). So, after thinnking me and my boys had taken in our last game, we get one more. My basketball crew was on the phone real quick after the surprising development. Tickets are already in hand.

While we're on basketball, some interesting comments heard during this week of non-stop, round-the-clock basketball games on t.v. Those who uttered the statements will remain anonymous:

Game score: 65 - 65. comment: "This is a close one, huh?" Uh, yeah. I'm surprised you don't do these games on t.v.

Comment: "If they would make more shots, they could win." Yeah. And it will either rain tomorrow, or it won't.
