The alumni wasn't the revolution that needed to be immediately quelled. However you do know better than me about the pulse of the alumni so point understood.
I wish we could be discussing something better than this. Oh well.

How about this: I was out in Brooklyn running errands this afternoon, and on a whim dropped by the Barclays Center box office to check out ticket availabilities. Scored a pretty decent seat for tonight's games for two thirds of original face value.
I'd like to see Temple beat UNLV in the first game. No real rooting interest in Duke-Stanford other than to hope for a competitive game.

Yeah, that story about how close Dunph is with the Weasel took all the fun out of rooting against Duke.

I was disappointed that Temple and Stanford both lost. All four teams played somewhat sloppily; there were lots of mental mistakes all over the place. And as a long-time Ivy watcher, seeing teams not used to playing back to back on Friday and Saturday nights try to grind through second halves where tired legs led to steadily declining shooting percentages was interesting.
