Well there you have it. The first real regulation college basketball at the CenturyLink Center is in the books. In what was supposedly a rout with 13 minutes remaining in the second half turned into a gut wrenching nail-biter as the Kangaroos forced turnover after turnover by the Jays to cut the lead to single digits.

If there’s a silver lining anywhere in this game it’s that the Bluejays led by 28 points. In fact, they led by double digit points from the 16 minute mark in the first half to the two minute mark in the second half.
