Wow, I wasn't aware of that. In that case, there can't possibly be a loser in this game!
Enjoy yours as well Sandra.
Anybody watching the game on ESPN? North Carolina started out good,but Michigan State seem to be outrunning them right now.
They have to play schools now that are in lower divisions instead of the traveling teams now. NCAA changed the rules a few years ago.
I think its pretty cool that there is another college in Lexington named Transylvania University
They are actually withing walking distance of the UK Rupp Arena and I joked with my wife when we went to the game that it would be funny to see them walking down the street and it happend. The team was walking down the street with police officers.

I was referring to the 24 hour ESPN-a-thon (which is what you referred to in your post above mine)
also just so ya know 7:30PM High Point-Purdue is the only one on BTN. The rest are on Bigtennetwork.com
They will be replayed on BTN in the next day or so

Did not realize that. Thanks for the update!
So that said...do any of you guys stay up for the overnight games? I just can't do it...it takes a lot of beauty sleep to stay this beautiful!!!

yep. I'll get up about 2:45 CST or so and plop down to watch the Hawaii game...then go back to bed. I watch very little cbb but do like the Hawaii games. I guess the good thing is this year they are using a local pxp guy (Kanoa Leahey from Fox 2) instead of the ESPN "P" team who is just happy for the free trip to Hawaii and is use to calling small college games.
IMO, the "coolest" game in the annual hoopfest is the 6:00am game.
It must be neat to grab a coffee at 5:00am and attend this game in a raucous gym.
LOL last year that game was at Monmouth University Bill, right here in our backyard. Just couldn't do it!!!

I've been hoping that Northeastern, Harvard, BC, BU, URI or Providence gets to host this game (or even the 8am game), just to experience it.
Oh boy,can't wait for the Morehead State @ College of Charleston. I guess that's why the game is on at 8am tomorrow.

that would be interesting to say the least
I'm hoping college hockey does a 24 hour marathon. There's plenty of college venues in the Northern US that would support this. Black Friday would be awesome!!
Hey Morehead won a tournament game last year for their first time ever. Cut them a break.

Watching this game now. Must say I'm a little disappointed at the crowd in Charleston. The 6:00am game at Rider was a much better environment. ESPN showed fans at 4:00am out and about campus waiting for the game to start.
