The Great Alaska Shootout closed out a great run last night. Sadly, it did not get the final round of respects it deserved, but that didn’t stop it from delivering one final thriller for those who enjoyed so many over the years in this long-running event. The 40th and final […]
The most telling game of the day had one team pulling out another where they seemed vulnerable and it was one that got away for their opponent. Plus tournament action heats up, with a few surprises as a day off looms for many of them.
In addition to always being a day for football, Thanksgiving has slowly become more and more of a day for college basketball in the decade. This year, Turkey Day brought a good number of quality matchups. It also was a day for resurgence for a number of schools who sent a message to not count them out, some showing that their seasons are not over after the loss of a key player, others displaying that they are not ready to fade from the national spotlight just yet, after many had assumed they have done just that.

Baylor and Butler continue to win even as they look to be a bit down, showing their staying power. Plus a few more tournaments continue, a couple end, and a Wildcat has to have an injury checked out further.
The Great Alaska Shootout is a longtime Thanksgiving weekend tradition in its 39th year, but whether it will reach a 40th year is in question.
