Central Methodist beat UHSP 116-60. I’m sure we won’t play our regulars as much as normal but I still can’t see this game being within 20 points, like many of the predictions are on that thread. You are spending waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much time analyzing this game.

A wise man once said pride comes before the fall. Let's hope they take this game seriously and just get through it without something horrible happening.

I can think of an excellent reason to schedule a team like this every year. It's a nice thing to do once a year to bring attention to small schools and to give their athletes the thrill of competing in a large arena. So, big deal if it doesn't count in the NET rankings. Big deal if "fans" with tickets smugly skip the game to warm their all-important couch cushions. Call it what you want, this game means a lot to our players. They want to play well. That's why they practice. It should be a fun game. When it is over, the Aces will have won 40% of last season's win total before November 10.

But they won two exhibitions last year that didn't count --- Okie City and Huntington -- before the Miami game.

Huntington is where we got Ben Humrichous, so maybe UHSP has a hidden gem for us to nab.

I won a few dollars on a slot machine not long ago, but that's not where I usually get my income. AL-THOUGH, I watched a little of the Oakland City team and, strangely, SMoTW game the other night. There are some pretty good players on the NAIA teams -- not enough and most of them are probably just NAIA players with a fairly good high school resume. The Oakland City roster has a kid who led the state in scoring 2 years ago at S. Decatur. I don't want him. He's a wide open shot but that's all ... all the same, some "hidden gems" really do exist. In the future, we may see the NAIA the way the P4 teams now see the mid-majors -- their farm system.

Not saying we are Kentucky, but I am betting that UHSP is hoping that we are thinking of them like Kentucky was thinking of us.

These next 2 restless hours are going by a minute at a time. I need something from X to engage me. What's the Over-under? Under/over? Over/over? Roger/roger?
Surely you know. Don't call me Shirley.
