Leatherneck Nation

A couple months back, I had tentative plans to do this Denver and Tulsa trip. But back (Frisco last week) to back to back (Orlando next week) trips seemed to be a bit too much for an old guy. I will be tuning in tonight on the College Sports Live and WRMS for pre-game (hope that buzz from last night does not rear its ugly head again).

Game time: 8pm Central

If we have a good balanced scoring night and hit the boards, we should be off to Tulsa with a W. Ken Massey thinks likewise:

Todays trivia question:

What female five-time world champion and Olympic star is a graduate of DU?

BTW, it appears that Denver is still mascotless at this time:

Only a hockey school could have this problem.

Thursday night's North Dakota State at South Dakota Women's BB game will be available via ESPN3 and First Row Sports.

... assuming they don't have the same Dakota Dome technical difficulties from last night. I don't think they ever got that working.

Hot shooting teams on the court. Guaranteed more combined points than fans in attendance tonight.

Five-time world champion and US Olympic figure Skating star Michelle Kwan graduated from DU in 2009.

Kudos to Tere. No buzz on WRMS but it keeps dropping off for me. When the Mormon missionaries were here a couple hours ago, we should have prayed for an uninterrupted audio broadcast. College Sports Live video is clean though.

Very nice game for the Leathernecks. Convincing 93-66 win.

Western wins 93-66.

Ashley Luke led the Western scoring with 20 points. She also had 16 rebounds.

In tonight's other games:
Oral Roberts beat IUPUI 84-72.
South Dakota beat North Dakota State 84-69.
South Dakota State beat Nebraska-Omaha 101-66.

Another monster game by Luke. Good well rounded effort by the ladies. Looks like South Dakota St is still the team to beat within the conference. Congrats to Michelle Maher on her record breaking 3 pointer tonight!!

Attendance for the game at Denver was 268.
