I am the most followed puppet on Twitter that covers college basketball!! I'm a College Hoops Expert for and am often amazed at my own brilliance!!

@THE1DAW @MattGrossenbach There’s no NEED to play any particular team in an exhibition.. They did it because they both wanted a neutral site game that would interest fans more than anyone else either team could have scheduled instead. There was no need for it, but there was no harm in it either.

NEWS: Saint Louis’ Robbie Avila has been granted a temporary restraining order allowing him to play college basketball, per multiple reports.

The ruling allows SLU to roster Avila, with a preliminary injunction hearing set for Nov. 4.

@kylamb8 At Rocky’s age, in order for another movie about him winning the heavyweight title to be believable, Tim Miles would need to be his manager!!! @csherwood_1973 @RoccoMiller8 @HurleyMania

Kevin Willard unplugged on Villanova exiting the Big 5 series 😳

"Unfortunately, it really wasn't a Villanova decision. Either you wrote a really poor article, or people can't read your article. But we wanted it. We thought we had a deal. I think you need to talk to the Temple AD and get your stories right. Because this was not a Villanova thing... Either people are illiterate, which I don't think they are, or you're just a bad writer."

"We wanted to be in it, we did everything to do it. Talk to Temple. Talk to those guys. It wasn't Villanova."

@HurleyMania I heard the statement yesterday that college athletics flaunts being about tradition, but not once in 150 years has tradition or loyalty not been trumped by money. Perhaps the Harvard-Yale Regatta. But that's it.

All kidding aside, what bothers me so much is that it's true

[David Griggs @DavidGPuppet]

[David Griggs @DavidGPuppet]

@TonyPatelis NO!!!! Well...maybe. What time is it???

[Sports TV News & Updates @TVSportsUpdates]

A stat that may explain Villanova’s decision:

The last season before Covid, there were 50 true road games played by power-conference MBB teams against opponents from outside the power conferences.

This season, there are 11 such games.

[David Griggs @DavidGPuppet]

I know that this is a very low bar, but the Auburn v Alabama exhibition game might be the best exhibition game I’ve ever seen. @HoopsHD

@TonyPatelis You just need to relax. Try some edibles if you have them
