Before we get to Thanksgiving side dishes and other hard things to swallow, let’s dip a tentative toe into the quasi-am hoops ocean. UC was major-league Monday night.
Down 23-8 early, up 20 in the 2nd half. Hustling, diving, aggressive, excited. College basketball in November doesn’t get a lot of my attention or, I’m guessing, a lot of yours. Too much else going on and, ironically, the rampant success of the Madness has robbed the regular season of some significance.
Wake me when The Shootout arrives (Dec. 11, 8:30, XU).
