It's funny only Syracuse can possibly set the record so if they want a new record, they can pretty much decide this if the demand is there.

I've never been to the Carrier Dome but I'm guessing when there's 15k empty seats atleast and being in a football stadium, the environment probably feels somewhat sterile. At the same time, I'll bet Cuse fans like it.

they curtain a large portion off so it feels much smaller. it's obviously a dome and not cameron indoor but it isn't exactly being in the georgia dome either.

Not Jerry's World or Reliant Stadium when there were 2k people at that UCLA-Texas game last year. Is it being curtained off tomorrow?

I'd assume so, or else they'd just go all out and push for Carrier football capacity 49k crowd tomorrow. Curtain keeps the noise in and they'll want that, too.

This is how they lay out the court for basketball compare to the football layout. They are not doing anything different from the normal basketball layout today. Last fall they talked about moving the court to the middle and use all the seats but in the end they decided against that. Also, most of the seats are that bad for basketball because of the way they lay the court out, plus the Dome isn't that big to begin with - only seats about 50K

What to make of Georgetown. Had lost five straight and then deciding to show up and beat Sparty. Hoya RPI is still within range despite the poor record.

Perception of the B1G is starting to change. Wisky losers 5 of 6. tOSU losers 5 of 7. Teams losing to Nebraska and Northwestern. The team that had an average OOC record but clearly played the best schedule is undefeated in the conference in Michigan.
Plus Indiana is down.
Still a very strong conference.
Probably going to Dance:
Michigan State
Michigan
Iowa
Wisconsin
Ohio State
Minnesota
Iowa's got to watch that non-conference SOS and make sure to finish with a winning conference record, though.
Nebraska, Illinois and Indiana each have a shot to get on the right side of the Bubble with a strong run to close the year. Nebraska actually has the SOS to make them the best looking resume of the 3.

As much as I hate to say it, Chrissy Collins is clearly improving Northwestern. NW was god awful to start the year and is on a very nice run in conference play.
I'm watching Washington @ Washington State (27-25 at half) on PACN.
Duke-Syracuse is on and it's early on ESPN.
Utah State @ Wyoming about to start the 2nd half on ROOT.
#15 Iowa @ Illinois at 5:30 on BTN.
USC @ Oregon at 6 on PACN.
Boise State @ UNLV at 6 on CBSSN.
Zona @ Cal at 8:30 on PACN.
St Mary's @ BYU at 9 on ESPN2.
Not a bad slate at all for hoops junkies. Even Tennessee at Alabama could end up being a very entertaining game (7pm, ESPN2). Tenn is a very athletic bubble team and Bama can be much better than its 9-11 record, having played a brutal schedule and a lot of good teams down to the wire.
Yes they usually have the curtain up but I'm guessing they don't put it up for the bigger games to improve the sight lines

Yeah it looks that way from the Georgetown game I linked last year, maybe anytime they get above ~25k or they move it back atleast.
I must say it was a better environment than I was thinking it be. I hate the domes on TV even for the Final Four.
These 3's by Thornton are keeping Duke in it. Yes this is a good one!
Wow. OT

Sounds like Dickie V won't be doing the CU/UofA game, with that Dan Shulman comment that they'll be at the rematch since that's the same night. Dickie V doesn't do too many games in the western USA. I know he goes to Colorado fairly often, so I thought he might make an exception here.

Justice for Duke getting away with that year after year.
Lol I was wondering if someone was going to bring that up.
I have to agree that Christmas had a couple of obvious flops there
Just a great basketball game. Not much else to say, best game I've seen in some time.
Bad flops super cool name
