11:16 AM: Tulsa 10, UALR 7

Siena holds off Northeastern, and we move on to Game #8 ... Arkansas-Little Rock at Tulsa!

It's possible they forgot to sell tickets for this one. Or maybe they just never unlocked the gym. I guess what I'm saying is this: plenty of good seats still available in Tulsa. If you're just driving around, come on out. Which is too bad, since the crowds everywhere else have been one of the best parts of the day. I guess the novelty of a 1 PM start on a Tuesday in Oklahoma can't match up with the novelty of a 6 AM start in New Jersey. C'mon, undergrad population of Tulsa ... what else are you going to do, go to class?

On the other hand, the "Star Watch" graphic for Tulsa featured a guy who decided not to play basketball his senior year of high school. So maybe this isn't a real exciting team.

Just as I type that, Tulsa jumps out to the early lead, and the announcers start talking about how Tulsa may be the team to finally unseat Memphis in Conference USA. Spoke too soon, I guess. Maybe you don't really have to play high school basketball to be a star in college. Shows what I know.

  1. How does that 7 foot center Jerome? Jordan look on Tulsa? He's supposed to be a possible 1st rounder.
