The Morning After: Kentucky

  • Eamonn Brennan 12/09/2007 12:23 pm  
 

Big win, huh? After hearing early in the day that Armon Bassett would miss the game alongside Eric Gordon, I was worried. Of course, I am neurotic about wins and losses; I always think IU will lose even if it ...

The Morning After: Tennessee State

  • Eamonn Brennan 12/04/2007 8:34 am  
 

There’s not a whole lot to say about this one. Tennesssee State, not unlike Chicago State last year, comprised a bunch of skittish guards and guys who put the small in small forward. (Zing!) Undersized and underskilled, they were never ...

The Morning After: Southern Illinois

  • Eamonn Brennan 12/03/2007 11:02 am  
 

First, apologies for the day-lateness. Thanks to an overeager waitress at Duffy’s in Chicago on Saturday night, I never wanted for a fresh Fat Tire, which, as you can imagine, is not the best way to avoid drunkenness if you’re ...

The Morning After: Longwood

  • Eamonn Brennan 11/19/2007 7:14 am  
 

The point of The Morning After is to glean and analyze, thus building a store of knowledge from which to draw when it’s time to figure how well we can expect this team to perform late in the season. Early ...

The Morning After: Chattanooga

  • Eamonn Brennan 11/13/2007 11:15 am  
 

Thanks to the scurrilous Big Ten Network situation and the inability for RCN cable in Chicago to set up my cable within two hours of my calling to install service — the nerve!* — I was pushed out into the ...
