Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

We've been waiting a long time and tonight we finally get to see our teams on the court during a historic year for the Big East. Like you, I am excited for the season to begin and I thank everyone for participating and making this board a reality.

Good luck to you and your team!

Can't wait. Go Big East! (Even Xavier)

Hey X people, is that game on FS-Ohio?

Yes it is on FS-Ohio. Good luck to you too!

I'm so excited I've been jittery all day. It's like that feeling you get the first time you overload on caffeine. Good luck everybody!

+1

Or the first time you know you might get lucky!

As an Xavier fan, I am humbled and grateful by how welcoming the fan bases of the C-7 have been. It seems like you guys are almost excited as the fan bases of the 3 new schools.

I can't speak for all schools and fans, but I couldn't be happier to have you, or happier with our current conference. I think we have a great group of schools in terms of both athletics and academics. I've been following Xavier and Butler for years, and since discovering Creighton around a year ago I've been on their bandwagon as well. It's so exciting that the season is finally kicking off! 6 games tonight, and I plan to be switching around to all of them cheering everybody on. Here's wishing everybody huge wins tonight!

just looked and the Season has tipped off. Eastern Michigan is up on Albion 10-2 early 1st half.

oh and for those that think the new rules aren't going impact things...

Albion has already 3 guys with 2 fouls each in the 1st 5 minutes of the game. Eastern Michigan is in the bonus already- and they too have 1 guy with 2 fouls and out of the game already.

Good luck everyone!
