Can both teams lose?

Brick, very interesting that your boys are traveling to Fayetteville today for an "exhibition". What a great thing for both teams in front of a sold out arena.

Overtime Brick and it is a hell of a game!!!

We should have scheduled any easy team like Chicago State or Illinois.

Just got a Snapchat from a well-known (he's won a couple national championships) basketball coach.

Apparently, the rest of the Big Ten is freaking out after tonight's Illini game. How, they wonder, can we match the Illini's speed and defense? Will we, they ask, have an answer to Terrence Shannon, Jr.? Will it, they inquire, be possible for us to match this team's energy?

Gonna be interesting.

Not to sound like HY, but the hell are these exhibition games? Scrimmages?

Yes. Teams used to do a glorified practice with another P5 team in a gym with no fans and no cameras outside of the game film for the teams. Now, they seem to be televising them similar to a spring game for charity. They don't count for record.

The top 5 AP teams all lost their exhibition games.

Would be nice if the money really goes to charity. It's good exposure for a lot of teams, and probably a good way for teams to get things right against a decent opponent early on.

Illinois will need it. They have a Fozzie of a bear of a pre-season (that is, non-Big Ten) schedule this year.

I do know that the charity designated for the game were the tornado victims or storm victims from earlier this year in Arkansas.

Kansas and Kentucky was a fun watch last night. I hate both teams, but they are good. Seeing the big goof from Michigan in a Kansas uniform is really odd.

Fighting Bricks looking good

Watching the Purdue/Tennessee game. They had a wide shot of the benches. I counted 7 coaches on the Purdue bench and another 5 (I assume) grad assistants sitting right behind them. Tennessee had 6 and 5. WTF? How many coaches does a basketball team need? Good use of taxpayer money.
