The Holy Land of Hoops

2 BE games on Monday, Dec 8th.

7pm, Kennesaw State at (23) Butler.
9pm, Brown at Providence.

Let's go 2-0.
After Friday night's loss, i just want a simple W vs Brown...! This may be one of the shortest road trips for anyone in the country... about a mile from Brown to the Dunk... actually PC may have a longer commute than Brown to get to the game.

Butler should be in great shape.

Butler 23.5 points favored
Providence 16 points favored

Looking like another easy sweep.

Butler looking pretty dominant. 35-18 with 8:26 left. How crazy is it that these guys were in the Horizon League just a couple years ago?

Yikes. Kennesaw State is bad.

#50 on Kennesaw has spent 18 seconds in the lane each time down.

Butler, Xavier, Marquette, and Notre Dame all called the Horizon League (formerly MCC) home for a period of time. It used to be a decent home for Midwestern private schools. It included some other decent teams, too, but Oral Roberts is the only one that's been able to string together more than two consecutive NCAA tournament appearances.

Brown beat PC two years ago and PC won by 4 points last year.

Sorry guys... PC and Brown are tied 30-30 at the half.
Friars look like they had a pre-game binge on Sominex.
They actually outscored Brown 13-5 to end the half.
Those Ivy teams are tough to play because the kids are so smart... that's my excuse so far... kinda like Yale vs UConn.

I just want the win at this point, any way possible... maybe the zebras can help us out...

Providence sleepwalking through this game so far, it's okay, just win. Some Ivy teams can be scrappy pesky little teams.

providence is being exposed a little here. the backcourt inexperience, inconsistent outside shooting, bigs not able to finish around the rim. unless henton scores 20 pts they will struggle on offense.
