18:56 Game 7-031: Saint Joseph's at Boston University. Welcome to TMM THROWBACK NIGHT. We're going to party like it's 2008.
18:56 Season 5 kinda sucked, but at least the shoes were comfortable.
18:57 RT @hoopville: Pleasant surprise - we have @midmajority in the building at Agganis Arena! Now two writers who see about 200 games a year are on press row!
18:57 Agganis Arena. http://img.ly/2FqF
18:58 We are going to try. RT @TheOFFSeasonCF: @midmajority KW are you gonna be in Amherst for UCF tomorrow?
18:59 The Hawk is in the house!! http://img.ly/2FqH
19:00 Appreciated, humbly. RT @polarscribe: The S5 Epilogue is still one of your finest hours, IMO.
19:05 I did too. Smiley. RT @KraigW: @midmajority I really enjoyed the part in season 5 when you came to Logan #selfserving #Duelinthedesert
19:06 RT @polarscribe: I still remember feeling "this is the end of TMM" when I clicked the link and started reading. Painful, touching, uplifting. @midmajority
19:06 Tip. http://img.ly/2FqL
19:07 Boston (America East) is 4-7, and Saint Joe's (A-14) is 3-7. Both were a lot better back in #S5. #TMMthrowbacknight #youareinformed
19:08 RT @richphilly20: @midmajority I have a feeling Matty Griffin goes off tonight against his dad's old team.
19:08 DONE. RT @NovaYankee: @midmajority Could you please refer to Agganis Arena as "The Greek", just for tonight? It's my Christmas Wish.
19:09 BU starts 2 froshhh, Saint Joe's 3. John Holland, a senior, with Terriers' first basket of the night. We're underway at the Greek!
19:10 I know this to be true! RT @CoachBarney: @midmajority The Hawk Will Never Die!
19:11 Langston Galloway, a talented SJU froshhh, hits a #superhoop and the Hawks go up 8-3, three minutes in.
19:11 RT @pretzel_logic: @midmajority I have a bunch of followers down here who would disagree with that, but I generally stay out of the argument.
19:12 I look at it this way: the Hawk might totally suck every so often, but the Hawk will never, ever, ever die. @pretzel_logic
19:14 [RLU ALERT] Maine 74, Penn State 64 | http://tmm7.me/705 @RedLineUpsets
19:14 A fantastic omen for the America East tonight... a 10-point RLU for Maine over Penn State!
19:17 My favorite is when the Hawk goes all one-armed and sips the sports drink with the other. It's SJU 12-8 after 5, Galloway and Jones 5 each.
19:18 RT @AmericaEast: MBB: @BlackBearNation knocks off Penn State, 74-64, for 4th straight win!
19:18 #smac RT @Smoore1117: @midmajority Yes, but did the Hawk ever play beer pong during a hockey game like Rhett? Doubt it. http://bit.ly/igXb2l
19:19 RT @BYU_Blue: On my way to Ogden for #BYU v #WeberSt - Too bad Damian Lillard is out for the season. Could have been a great #RLU matchup. @midmajority
19:20 We'll probably have to talk about this at some point... BU has a banner up for the CBI. Just as big as the NCAA one. #wehaveissueswiththis
19:22 Carl Jones, 5-11 soph for SJU, has five early. He's averaging 18.6 and is top 50 nationally in usage. Weird, lopsided team.
19:22 RT @AmericaEast: Maine's win is #AmericaEast's 2nd over a Big Ten team in as many years and 8th over a "Big Six" school since 2008.
19:24 Yeah, I think we've called them out in the past. RT @sienasoup: @midmajority Ever see the banners Rider University has up? #embarassing
19:24 RT @defiantlydutch: @midmajority: It's not old school until you refer to BU and Saint Joe's as being from the NAC and ECC, respectively. NAC ATTACK!
19:26 Two teams lobbing #superhoop tries at each other. Both shoot low 30s, so hey, whatever. 19-19 as we approach the end of the first quarter.
19:28 SJU is on a 5-game losing streak: Drexel, Nova, Princeton, Minnesota and Creighton. Years past, they go 3-2 or 4-1 against that group.
19:28 Loved it! Especially the band. RT @JMU2012: @midmajority hey what did you think of your trip to the JMU Convo earlier in the year?
19:29 RT @Smoore1117: @midmajority Haven't been to Agganis since that went up. Wish we had others to replace it with. That is embarrassing. #blameDennisWolff
19:31 SJU froshh Galloway, from way down in the bayou: interesting prospect. Super-sweet controlled shot, but bad night/good night. 21 vs. MINN.
19:32 Cosigned. Good post. #SJU RT @pretzel_logic: @midmajority This bunch: http://is.gd/jbz1q
19:33 Big uniform contests for kidz don't work without the big shoes. This is irrefutable science. SJU 24, BU 23 at 1H/MTO3. On we go.
19:35 RT @brianisawesome: @pretzel_logic @midmajority I'm pretty sure the Hawk can die, and I'm specifically thinking of 2003 when he was attacked by a drunk Nova kid
19:36 I remember that. When I lived in Philly for 8 years, came to realize the Hawk is mortal but unkillable. Like a superhero. @brianisawesome
19:38 #SUPRSMAC RT @CoachBarney: @midmajority I also recall a certain wildcat going missing that same year. 40-9. http://twitpic.com/3i7wy3
19:39 It's been 3 years! I owe you a visit! RT @JoelHines: When is @midmajority coming to the @ConstantCenter in Norfolk to see #ODU play?!?
19:40 SJU 31, BU 25 at 5:45 1H. This is great stuff tonight, BTW. Boston vs. Philly. Celts-Sixers writ super-small. Super, super small.
19:41 The Fightin' Martellis on a 7-0 run, now lead 33-25. Galloway is the man tonight so far with 10. #froshhhfever
19:41 RT @jtanHC: @midmajority By damned, I do love some #phillysmac.
19:42 Oh, we've been. Very aware. RT @JeffACherry @midmajority if you loved JMU/band then you need to be at a VCU game. Completely different level
19:47 On the BU side, Darryl Partin (6-6 jr.) is smashin' it off the bench. Had a 32-point night vs. Cornell earlier, has 14 now. 39-30 SJU.
19:48 RT @bkervick: @Midmajority is at Agganis tonight and I didn't know? #alumnifail #hockeyschool
19:51 RT @jtanHC: @midmajority Which Philly team makes the most concerted effort (and gets) the top Philly talent?
19:52 So much Philly talent goes elsewhere now. SJU hits Jersey hard. Gotta say that La Salle is picking off some great preps lately. @jtanHC
19:54 Boston putting on a half-closing run here, eight straight points makes the deficit 39-38. The BU band plays, the Hawk keeps flappin'.
19:58 We did ODU@VCU in Season 3 (07). Big Maynor game. In. Sane. RT @JeffACherry: @midmajority vcu /odu both sold out, crazy and must see games
20:00 Halftime kidz. http://img.ly/2Frm
20:07 Just fist-bumped Lunardi in the banquet room. Yeah, I read that column, thanks for the endless "heydidyouseethis" Form sends.
20:08 Said it before, but we're not in the same business. I watch the debate, I don't participate in it.
20:09 We are almost fully 100% prepared for a second half of Philly/Boston, Bird/Dr. J, Pats/Eagles action. At HO scale.
20:11 RT @howardmegdal: @midmajority One of the best professional days of my life was the first time @ESPNLunardi linked a column of mine. Congratulations!
20:12 As they say in the Horizon League, "raise your sights." @howardmegdal
20:16 Four minutes into the second half, Saint Joe's has popped nine quick points. 47-41.
20:16 RT @defiantlydutch: @midmajority: Hey did you see Lunardi linked to you today? #AlwaysTheLastToKnow #NoReallyThatWasAGreatSongFrom1992
20:16 And this tweet represents my lack of a public response to that.
20:19 It's a frossh party here at the Greek! Oh yeah! C.J. Aiken with the #omgdunx for Saint Joe's... extra feta on that! With a side of olives!!
20:19 RT @Nyghtewynd: @midmajority Good response. His reasoning would make baby Jesus cry.
20:20 We've been big fans of the BU band for a while. And they just dropped the best "Bad Romance" we've heard. Sped up, super backbeat. #pepgaga
20:22 And Galloway just cleaned up some mess for an #omgdunx of his own! The froth is 6-2! And he can throw down! 15 points for him, 51-49 SJU.
20:23 Just as I typed that, Galloway dropped a #superhoop to put the SJU lead back to 5 at 54-49. Once he can do this every night, look out.
20:26 Should probably call this the Golden Greek, as per Agganis' full nickname. Lots of Golden things in the O25: Grizzlies, Knights, Griffins...
20:30 Script: Hawks grab a three-basket lead, Terriers pull 'em back. Game flow will look like corduroy pants. 65-53 SJU, end of third quarter.
20:36 Darryl Partin is going #superhoop crazy for BU (26 pts), and once again, the Terriers are right back in it with 10 straight points! #pants
20:39 BTW, "what's a mid-major?" is not quite as dull as "could Maya Moore play in the (men's) America East?" Seriously, how bored are people?
20:42 There are six minutes and thirty-seven seconds remaining in regulation. I have enough room left in this tweet to tell you the score: SJU 67
20:42 and BU 63.
20:44 And it's tied up at 67! BU has come back from at least nine down three times in this game.
20:46 RT @adamamin: @midmajority Badlands Reunion: the Grizz shoot 21-24 from the FT line in the 1st. Up 52-45 on Valpo, just started the 2nd.
20:50 Screens, weaves, picks and needle-threading on both ends as SJU and BU attempt to crack each others' m2m's. 71-70 Hawks, 3:27 left.
20:53 Jake O'Brien (6-8 soph) just hit a #superhoop for BU, and the Terriers take the lead for the first time in forever. 73-71, 2:45 2H.
20:56 SJU's Daryus Quarles (6-6 fr.) with the froshh mistake, getting picked, #superhoop on the other end. 78-71 Terriers. 17-pt swing in 10 mins.
20:57 Tommy and Gina 4ever! RT @dvdub: @midmajority - how can u rep all these #CAA pep bands and not recognize #GeorgeMason ???
20:58 [stay tuned for a @RedLineUpset alert]
20:59 RT @chanford24: @midmajority In this season of giving, Wake Forest hands out another #RLU - this time to Presbyterian! 66-64
21:00 Saint Joe's running out of time here. 35 seconds left, down 80-76 to a team it had on the canvas three times, fouling to stay in it.
21:01 RT @midmajority360: Presbyterian 66 Wake Forest 64 | PRES: A. Coleman 20 - WAKE: G. Clark 14 | http://tmm7.me/70e
21:01 [RLU ALERT] Presbyterian 66, Wake Forest 64 | http://tmm7.me/70e @RedLineUpsets
21:03 Game, set, #superhoop. SJU misses three times, then fouls only out of habit when Terriers recover. 14 seconds left, 85-76 Boston University.
21:07 Sad to see SJU in this state. It's like Rocky 12, when fat Rocky kept 8-counting the dude & then he kept getting up & Rocky lost. Remember?
21:07 The battle of losing streaks is over. Boston's four is over, SJU's reaches six. Final from the Golden Greek: Terriers 85, Hawks 79.
21:09 Hott. 23 points on 6-for-14, 8 rebs. RT @GladSports: @midmajority how did the Holland kid play
21:09 RT @aptaube: @midmajority America East balling out this evening. Starting to worry SBU could finish as low as fourth w/o Brenton and Martin.
21:10 RT @CoachBarney: @midmajority this group will figure out how to win. We will be back sooner than people think. The Hawk Will NEVER Die!
21:13 Superfun as always, folks. Thanks for following along & adding to the fun. Time to get on the ol' MBTA train again! Good Night Hoops Nation.
21:54 RT @adamamin: Valpo survives in a classic @midmajority G!O!T!N! 103-102 over Oakland in the Badlands Reunion. WOW.
21:54 RT @billpotter_hl: Just another @midmajority Game!Of!The!Night! - Valpo 103, Oakland 102. In regulation.
