That is a lot of Warriors.

Why doesn’t Xavier get a team together? That crappy team up north who didn’t make the big dance last year has one.

[Muskie]

I feel like there was some talk two years ago. But it didn’t happen. I’m excited to watch.

Wasn't Mo Watson accused of rape his last year at Creighton? Guess that never was founded? Don't remember hearing anything about it.

Mark Lyons on Heartfire
Thanks. I missed that one.

So Big X isn’t a Xavier affiliated team?

[Lloyd Braun]

If you could construct a Xavier team for this year who would be on your roster?

Do guys who are actively on teams overseas actually play in this thing?

Yes, just can’t be actively playing in the NBA I believe.

Yup, basically that.

I really enjoyed watching it last year. It's somewhere between College Basketball and Pro in terms of play style. I also like the Elam Ending. (though I'm not sure it should be adopted anywhere else).

I enjoyed the first season of it but haven’t really enjoyed it since then. I love the actually idea of it but hearing about all of the behind the scenes stuff has really turned away from watching it.

Crap. A person from Eberlein tested positive. Had to pull team from tournament.

[Muskie]

Damn. I wondered what happened to them. Mark Lyons' squad blew an eight point lead and lost by two last night.

[Muskie]

It looks like Dez Wells is no longer on Team CP3.

Sideline Cancer (Abell) plays Team Challenge ALS on July 7 at 2p. (Preview (https://thetournament.com/tbt-2020-schedule?&WHurl=%2Fcompetition%2F27235%2Fmatch%2F1709946%2Fp review%3F))

Watched the Marquette team play CP3 last night. Elam ending is pretty cool, every game ends on a bucket.

[smileyy]

Everyone should use the Elam ending imo

[pimpinthebox]

Really bummed that Eberlein Drive was removed from the tourney. Like many of us, I'm thirsting for sports of any kind so I was going to make their games appointment TV. Great tweet by JP after the announcement was made...

[Lloyd Braun]

What a game!!! Abell’s team in the finals now.

[Muskie]

It was a great game with Remy soaring through the lane a couple times for big lay-ups for Sideline Cancer. Interesting side note, Sideline Cancer is sponsored in part by Kathy Griffin's Nonprofit that fight's prostate cancer. Her brother: long time X fan and sometimes poster, Gary.

IF you are one of the 61 people who registered as a "Team Supporter" for Sideline Cancer, you would be in line for a payout of $820 if they win the whole thing. Kind of a neat way to get fans interested in the game.

Are you one?

[Lloyd Braun]

Great game so far. Let’s go!!

[atljar]

That corner 3 is a dagger. First wisconsin, then the golden eagles. Remy is cursed :/

[GoMuskies]

I hate all Dieners.
