Paladins have started 4-0 for the third straight year

2018 we beat Nova to go to 5-0
2019 we lost a close game to Bama for 4-1
2020 at Cincy???

Wonder why the odd middle of the week start time? I guess this indicates they don’t allow fans?

I wonder that not having a lot of fans at these games sort of minimizes the home court advantage for the home team and maybe levels the playing field a little???

For sure
That's another reason why the bigger schools are more afraid than ever to play the good mid-major teams this year

It looks like no fans for the game, so the time really doesn't matter. I did notice that a courtside season ticket cost $6250.00, which includes a $5,000 UCATS per seat payment. Makes me appreciate our pricing even more.

Teamrankings this morning has FU as the #48 team in the country and gives them a 54% chance of winning at Cincinnati .
