Around SBN: Chan Sung Jung Wins Thriller Over Dustin Poirier

Your ESPN College Basketball Marathon Open Thread

ESPN loves them some made for TV events, but it's hard to argue with how great this one is. Starting in about 30 minutes with Washington State and Gonzaga, ESPN and its assorted associated networks will be broadcasting more than 24 consecutive hours of college basketball games!

There's bound to be more than a few interesting points of discussion throughout the day (particularly during the WVU game), so we're more than happy to provide a place to talk about them. Here's the full schedule, where all times Central, and all games are on ESPN unless noted.

  • 11pm - Washington State @ Gonzaga
  • 1am - Northern Iowa @ St. Mary's
  • 3am - Cal State Northridge @ Hawaii
  • 5am - Drexel @ Rider
  • 7am - Morehead State @ College of Charleston
  • 9am - Kent State @ West Virginia
  • 11am - Belmont @ Memphis
  • 1pm - San Diego State @ Baylor
  • 3pm - Rhode Island @ Texas
  • 3pm - Women's Basketball on ESPNU: Louisville @ Texas A&M
  • 5pm - Women's Basketball on ESPN2: Miami @ Tennessee
  • 5pm - Florida International @ Virginia Tech, ESPNU
  • 6pm - Duke vs Michigan State in Madison Square Garden
  • 7pm - Florida @ Ohio State, ESPN2
  • 8pm - Kentucky vs Kansas in Madison Square Garden

Turned on ESPN for the start of the marathon

Mrs. Brewtown got very excited about a Gonzaga basket and then said, “Oh, this is bad. We have to turn this off or we’ll be here all night.”

We’re still watching after the under 16 time out.

She’s been awake for over 25 hours now.

WVU - Kent State should be good.

Really interested to see how Huggy handles his team this year.

RAF IS CALLING THE GAME.

Along with Sean McDonough, but who cares.

Also, there’s flipping NO ONE at this game.

This had better not be a preview of the Louisville attendance for MU.

And just like that:

offensive explosion.

Yay!

Huggy’s pitching a fit!

Kent State up 43-41 with 14:50 remaining.

I worry about Huggy's hypertension every year

Ever since he had a heart attack at the airport on the way to Milwaukee way back when.

Right.

But this seems like the type of team that might cause THE BIG ONE.

I'm trying to decide how scary WVU is for Marquette.

On one hand, they’re down at home to a Kent State team playing its first game for a new coach.

On the other, Kilicli & Jones have 28 rebounds with 11 on the offensive end.

In other words:

they look a lot like WVU’s team from last year?

That was a horrible shot by Kent State

You cant shoot the ball with 23 on the clock.

We need to identify their best player

and nickname him “The Whip.”

I wonder how long...

the ESPN marketing department had to meet with Disney Parks to get them to agree to be the sponsor for the Tip Off Marathon.

Had four points total with 15 minutes left in the half,

have only hit 2 threes so far, and they’ve somehow managed 36 points in the first half.

Make it 39.

But they’re down 7.

What the hell happened to WVU

Poor shooting? Bad D? Too many turnovers? All of the above?

17 turnovers.

Six from Truck.

Nine points total from the bench.

Shot 37% for the game, even though they grabbed 18 offensive rebounds. Shot 57% from the line.

Bad, bad, bad.

HAH!

I was just ripping Truck because it’s fun and because I remember DJ shaming him.

Is this Baylor's Midnight Madness event?

They don’t appear to have practiced together before.

It's their third game.

Huh.

Well, now I’m lead to believe that their practices consist of light stretching and half-court shooting contests. And fruit snack breaks.

Good one cooking up in Austin
