[Rubie sez: Warrior Brad's traveling today and was having computer issues, so ignore my name on the byline. This is his baby, so as per usual, all compliments should be directed to him.]
An abbreviated watch today as I will be on assignment for my real job in Florida. Needless to say, the MU loss was devastating for our tournament chances. Complicating matters, there are some distinct possibilities for bid stealers. Root hard for ODU tonight.
