Thursday Open Thread

For the 2nd time in two weeks Kris' Capitals face off against my Sharks. There's other sports as well tonight including the fascinating Bulls-Spurs game on TNT. Since it's raining sideways and the wind is howling where I live, I'll definitely be inside tonight. So enjoy whatever game you're watching, leave comments, and don't be a troll.

    I still have not figured out how a Penn State basketball game made its way onto ESPN tonight....

    TNT dug up Dick Stockton to call the Bulls-Spurs game. I think I'll watch a movie.

    Is it sad I am watching DePaul-Providence?

    DePaul is up double digits over Providence. This would be DePaul's 1st win in the Big East this year.

    He must have been drinking with Beninati today. It's been cold and wet here and nothing else to do.

    Even though the Dunkin Donuts Center has been a bit of a hex for Villanova as of late, I do feel bad for Providence. Marshon Brooks is graduating, they have no big recruits coming in, and they just lost to DePaul, who prior to tonight had a 24 game losing streak in the Big East. And for some reason, ESPN2 decided to broadcast this humiliation.

    btw, the Maryland women destroyed Duke tonight.

    @Justin ESPN loves it some Big East basketball, for some reason.

  27. Justin F.February 17, 2011 at 8:30 PM

    The thing with the Big East is it is probably the deepest conference in college basketball, but it's not top heavy like the Big 12 is. ESPN naturally likes it because of the huge northeast markets they get with the Big East and it is really deep.

  30. kt1000February 17, 2011 at 8:43 PM

    @Justin it is more about the markets than the quality of the basketball. The Big East is still going to be on ESPN every night of the week even in down years.

    This game seems to me to be a lot like the one in DC last Tuesday. One in which the Sharks are going to eventually run away with it.

    @Keith so, the press box used to be much lower in the arena?

    for Justin:

    @Kris: The press box was much lower, but moved a couple of seasons ago to add more seats. Needless to say Randy and Drew were not pleased.
