There’s still plenty of #MLKDay #NBA action available. $9 Monday clients at @WagerTalk are getting this winner as #RipCity invades #MagicTogether with Orlando’s Anfernee Simons leading the charge.

That’s one heck of an effort from the Howard Bison. Had a shot at buzzer to force overtime against Notre Dame.
Again, credit Mike Brey for playing this one at Howard on MLK Day. – 4:44 PM

Kudos for Mike Brey for traveling to play Howard on MLK Day. This game was supposed to happen a year ago, but was canceled due to COVID.
The Bison only down one point to Notre Dame at the break. – 3:25 PM

Recall this Neil quote?
“For anyone (prospective coaches) to advance in the process they’re going to have to prove they can do that (improve defensively) without a ton of roster changes.”
POR was the 29th defense last year. That’s such a low bar. But they’re 30th now. It hurts. – 2:55 PM
