We are 21 minutes from tip-off, glad to have you here. I will be paying attention to the game, stats, and everything else. Mark will be blogging live throughout the contest. In case you are watching on your television at home (Channel 27-1 for all you not-so-digitally savvy people), we are on the far right near the baseline across from the Black Hawk bench. Mark is in a red shirt, supporting Monroe and Black Hawk today, and I am in a blinging purple shirt with an even cooler tie.

Enjoy the game, and feel free to leave comments as they come to your head!
