They go for record-breaking win #89 in a row Tuesday against Florida State — a team currently ranked #15, but sure to drop in the polls tomorrow after, perhaps looking ahead to UConn, they lost to 2-7 Yale yesterday — in Hartford….

Big, big home win for the Pioneers tonight, who improved to 3-9 with their most complete performance of the season, beating a decent Northern Colorado team 71-68. I’ll have more to say about it tomorrow (hopefully).

Imagine there’s no Twitter
It’s easy if you try. At least, it’s easy here on The Living Room Times, ever since the Great Blog Outage of December 3 (about which your children will someday ask, “Where we you?”) forced me to temporarily shut down Twitter-to-blog imports, in order to get the site back up and running.
