Republic of Open Threads: December 23rd Basketball
Illini Brag, Daytime Buckeyes and Bruins
BoilerUp89: Last day of B1G basketball before Christmas. Whether you celebrate or not, thanks for joining us so far this season. Looking forward to bringing you much coverage when we pick things back up on the 28th. Merry Christmas, Happy holidays.
Yesterday
Illinois Fighting Illini 91, Missouri Tigers 48
MaximumSam: The McBride Homes Braggin' Rights Game was a laugher, as the Illini clubbed Missouri by 43. Freshman Keaton Wagler continued his pace and led all scorers with 22.
Indiana Hoosiers 81, Siena Saints 60
Wisconsin Badgers 88, Central Michigan Chippewas 61
Washington Huskies 86, San Diego Toreros 56
Today
#219 Grambling Tigers at #35 Ohio State Buckeyes
2 pm, BTN
MaximumSam: The Buckeyes took on Grambling in football, and I think the Buckeyes should try to copy the football team. Could be a fun matchup at point guard where Bruce Thornton takes on Rod Coffee III. I don't know if Rod Coffee III is any good but he could lease his name to a movie.
#249 UC Riverside Highlanders at #28 UCLA Bruins
4 pm, BTN
MaximumSam: You could do worse than having some daytime basketball on while baking cookies. At least that's my plan. Snickerdoodles for sure. One of my kids is obsessed with red velvet everything, so some sort of red velvet cookie is coming too. Even Mick Cronin might crack a smile if he had a plate of cookies.
