For those who bemoan and say that college basketball is now pro basketball , I say where have you been for the past 50 years ?

Still tough to count on either of these teams to play well and win . But any money put down on this game would have to go on The Explorers side.

should have beat them even though they played without Greer and Essandoko and played only 7 players . It's time for their luck to run out .
