Called up my buddy, who was the Florida Gulf Coast AD up to two weeks ago, to congratulate him on the win. Wanted to get over there for a game this year, but when I looked at their Home schedule didn't see anything attractive there, just their conference games. Must have missed the FAU game altogether. Think FGC was 3 & 8 or so going into the game. He told me his top 2 players are injured. They played 5 majors (Indiana, Pitt, Cinn, Minn) teams on the road and had FAU and NC Wilmington home. St Bonnies was suppose to come in but they pulled out. Anyway asked him about the attendance for the game and it was a sellout. Last sellout was against Southern Cal in 20021 for the anniversary of their March Madness run (beat Georgetown) when the USC coach was the FGC coach. Mentioned they got Princeton's center through the portal last year so that led me to ask about NIL. Said small, to stay competitive with other MIDS. Changes in the Administration in the last year made things "untenable". Will have to see where he lands next.
Utah sneaks by Washington 95-90. Got outscored in first half 46-35, but 2nd half was on top 60-44.
Utah now 11-2

Hopkins, a 6-foot-7 junior, has been No. 23 Providence's best player since transferring to the Friars from Kentucky in the spring of 2022. He averaged 15.8 points and 8.5 rebounds per game last season, earning first-team All-Big East accolades and leading Providence to the NCAA tournament.
Providence's Bryce Hopkins tears ACL, out for season
No. 23 Providence loses star Hopkins to torn ACL
Providence forward Bryce Hopkins will miss the rest of the season after suffering a torn ACL in his left knee during the Friars' loss to Seton Hall.

Came here to say that but also that it sucks for Hopkins.

This really opens the door for us, but it’s not the way you want to see it happen.
Agreed but it now puts my starting point for conference expectations at #5 with a chance at #4 with a win this weekend.

The truth is that it is very easy to believe because every game is an entity unto itself and “any given night” is the absolute essence and beauty of sports; that simple and absolute FACT is so lost nowadays.
