RTC Live: Detroit @ #13 California

rtmsf — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:00:44 +0000

Tonight at 11pm ET we’ll be visiting California for our second RTC Live of the young season. On Monday, we had a nice turnout for Cal-Murray State considering it was a late-night game for people in the East and there didn’t seem to be a lot of excitement for that particular game.

ROLL THE VIDEO!

Oh hell, why not…ROLL THE 2nd VIDEO…

Alright, just had to get that out of the way. Chances are you’ve already seen one or both of those clips but these two little treasures illustrate how bothersome Horizon League teams can be for their power conference foes…this season or any other.

That said, the HL’s strong showing these past couple weeks has fans hoping for a two-bid March, and not the typical “upset-the-best-team-in-the-league-championship-game” two-bid scenario that the HL has experienced recently. It’s [...]

I’m going to keep it simple this time around…using a symbol so recognizable, that sometimes teams use this gesture as a way to call their plays on the floor. It’s either “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” as we spotlight the latest and greatest happenings in the Horizon League.

THREE THUMBS UP (If we had that many): UIC – (4-2, 0-0)
