694...Carleton Spanks Towson State

Bad.

95 to 83 but it could have been worse.

Mind you, the refereeing, and I am a serious fan of Carleton, was egregious. I don't think the refs were biased but on this night they were less than competent. At times it seemed as though the game was five on eight not five on five.

The big breakthrough that is good news for the defending national champion Ravens is that first year player Tyson Hinz, out of Ottawa St. Matt's, shone with 18 points.

The game was won on the boards with Carleton out rebounding the Tigers by a huge 39 to 22 margin.

At the U of K.

8 bells.

Be there for the first game of the 2009/2010 Ravens season as the defending national champion basketball team takes on the Towson Tigers of the NCAA.

Look for me in my black sombrero. Sharpie in hand.

686...Carleton Alumni Wreck Towson Tigers

Well, not wreck, but win by 10.

69 to 59.

I was there and will be there tomorrow night, Tuesday, at Carleton, when the defending national champion Ravens will be playing the Towson State Tigers.

Game time is 8 pm. Look for me in my black sombrero. I will have my Sharpie with me for your autograph pleasure.

See, I could be a Senator.

685...Carleton Basketball Tonight At Eight

Go Ravens!

They are playing Towson State, the Tigers, from Maryland and the Colonial Conference in exhibition basketball on the campus of the mighty U of K, Carleton.

Monday night the Tigers are playing the Raven's alumni team; Tuesday it is the defending Canadian champions versus the Tigers. Towson State is coming off a rough season last year, going 12 and 22 including 5 and 13 in the Colonial Conference, a conference that spit out a Final Four team a couple of years ago in George Mason and a first round draft choice this year, Eric Naynor from Virginia Commonwealth University.

I will be there, of course, and in honor of alma mater will be wearing my red and black sombrero.
