Join us for Bluejay Banter as we get you ready for the big game tomorrow. And what better way to do that than bringing on a guy who helped the Jays win the last time a highly ranked team came to Omaha. None other than Mitch Ballock will join us in studio to look back at that game plus talk about the prep for tomorrow. We will also breakdown the women’s team falling to UConn today and recap the amazing offensive display by the baseball team. Join us 6pm on our YouTube channel!!!

Would be nice to get a W against a good team in a place that has given us fits over the years.

Feels like a broken record but the Jays have another tough one. Providence is coming off an absolutely brutal performance against Villanova where they shot 29% from the field and 21% from 3. Hoping that shooting slump continues and the Jays can get off to a good start at a tough place to play.

Practice report coming soon. Plus later Q n A with our buddy at GtN Rivals site Ron Bailey

Another opportunity on BigFox. Wouldn’t say this is a must win but we do need it badly. A loss here and we are very much in The conversation to play Wednesday in NYC

Big one on Friday night, really not sure what to make of Butler but with two tough road games next week, must protect home court.

Is this spread correct or do my eyes deceive me? 23 points?

First game tonight

Jays 8’ pt favorites. O/U 150

IMO. Insanely low under over. Both teams love pace so possessions should be high. Get that we played triple ot and legs could be wobbly. But the extra possessions and the fact X pretty efficient on offense should still make this one a high scoring game.

Only Xs 5th true road game of the year. Amazing.(for context we’ve played 5 road games just in conference ). X is 1-4. Only win a blowout at Providence who’s struggling a bit without Hopkins.

We are playing the #1 team with the #1 douchiest coach in the nation tomorrow. How is there not already a game thread!? Hurley sucks, Storrs sucks, I really hope the Jays bring their A-game. Gonna need it!

What are the odds St Johns is able to arrive today?

Jays -15. O/U 142. Yeah that’s about all I got to say on this one

Huge game tonight. Too 20 match up. SRO. Should be awesome

Jays 12’ and 147. Love the Jays in this one. Would trend under as that’s how most Cooley games go with us.

Had a Q and A with Ron from Hoyas Rivals. I didn’t have much for him but was curious how fan base is accepting Ed and how attendance is. He said majority of fans thought he would snap his fingers and it would immediately be better. Ed thinks two years. Ron thinks it’s more like 3 now

Although not as bad as last year crowds are not good. And getting worse as the losses pile up. Looks like a midweek should be a very small crowd. Nice night for a get right game

Let’s keep the faith. Schedule really flips here as we have Gtn n DePaul in two of the next 3. Need those and against PC Saturday and we will be right back in the race.

Back at it again in DC. Jays favored by double digits. Starts a stretch at Georgetown, hosting PC, at DePaul, hosting SJU. A chance here to get on a little streak.

Wanna thank everyone fore the terrrific support this year. It’s been a year of transition on the site in a lot of ways and looks like next year will continue I. That vain. But I hope we give everyone a place to share thoughts and vent(a lot of that lately unfortunately).

Everyone enjoy time with family n friends. Enjoy time off if you have it and remember there are a lot of important things in life that are bigger than the Jays.

I know we are all passionate I know a lot of people on the site don’t know one another and it’s easy to type things you normally wouldn’t say. In the new year let’s try and be respectful of one another. Just remember you probably have no idea what’s going on in peoples lives. Recently a prominent poster lost his father and probably not many knew about it. Many I’m sure have day to day things the being stress to their lives. To everyone peace and goodwill and my hope is a joyous 2024.

And now I will take my advice and on this Xmas eve, remembering what is really important, and get in front of the TV and scream and yell and throw things for 3 hours!!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all

Huge start to BE season with Doug’s jersey retirement should be another great atmosphere.

In other news Trey n Kalk did not practice today. Kalk of course cuz of his ankle. Trey because of the hit he took in the Bama game. The team didn’t do much today. Big prep tomorrow so I would expect both to be practicing tomorrow. Let’s hope

Reminder — you can find some great Jays merchandise for your holiday shopping needs. (Or just buy some a stuff for yourself.) Find the shop by going to the main menu and then clicking more. You will see the Jays shop. Just glancing thru looks like they have a lot of half off deals going on today. Check it out!!

Creighton opens -5. Somebody believes in us.

I’ll have quotes from the presser plus a practice report later

Jays 14 Total 148'

This is a really bad Central Michigan team
