Just noticed that the Oklahoma State game is on ESPN Plus. ESPN Plus doesn't have a free trial period. Isn't the biggest deal but more of an annoyance... $5/month though That's the annoyance...

You wouldn’t get out of a sports bar to watch the game for anything near $5

I’m usually just thankful that I get to watch the Hoyas play virtually every game. I remember when I couldn’t and the lengths I would go to try. I remember listening to games on really freaking slow modems in the mid-90s.

Having to pay extra to watch games is some AAC ESPN ish...

Really a gauntlet coming up. Current KenPom ranks (which obviously can and will change a ton) in parentheses.
Penn St (top 50) Georgia St (top 200) Texas (top 25) Duke (top 25) (or Cal top 150) UNCG (top 100) OK St (top 50) SMU (top 100) Cuse (top 100) UMBC (top 200)
Could very easily play reasonably well and go 5-4 or even 4-5. 6-3 would be pretty darned good. 7-2 would probably make us a KenPom top 25 team.

KenPom expects us to go 5-3 excluding the Duke/Cal game losing to Texas, OSU, and SMU. KenPom’s expected outcome with a Texas loss and a Cal win would be 6-3.

I have no idea if sports bars have incorporated streaming networks like ESPN plus yet.

Wow. Playtime is over. Better get locked in.

Having Duke on our schedule now is fantastic. This will be a very strong OOC. The Texas win helps to offset the Penn State loss. Even if we lose to Duke tonight, we have more opportunities for good wins this OOC. We are well positioned for the tournament if we can win some conference games.

And hopefully the NET/RPI/Whatever it is now likes Penn State as much as they did last year

I don't think I would have been happy with 10-3 entering conference play but now things have changed.........don't look past anyone and handle the Zone and we should be 10-3 entering the Provy game
