You probably missed this item last week and might not have cared anyway: Ohio and Morehead State played for a spot in this week’s College Basketball Invitational championship series.
Yes, series. After defeating the Bobcats 77-72, MSU opens a best-of-three at home against Nevada at 8:30 on Monday night at Ellis T. Johnson Arena. Games 2 and 3, if necessary, take place Wednesday and Friday in Reno.
Got the fever yet?
I realize the Eagles downed Marshall when the teams met in November. I witnessed that 85-61 debacle, easily the Thundering Herd’s worst game of the season and part of the 0-6 start.
