Field Taking Shape for Quail Hollow

You think that it’s time for the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions to stop playing on Thanksgiving Day (especially Detroit! They’re awful!).

And college football doesn’t float your boat? Please! It doesn’t even have a playoff system (at least Division I doesn’t).

The NBA and NHL? Talk to me after their all-star breaks.

There’s is hope for all of us with plenty of college basketball on television to fall asleep to after that big dinner.

There are three tournaments on Thanksgiving Day featuring top 25 teams.

The Old Spice Classic runs tomorrow through Nov. 30 in Orlando near Disneyworld.

It features No. 12 Tennessee vs. Sienna, Wichita State vs. No. 21 Georgetown, Maryland vs. No. 5 Michigan State, and Oklahoma State vs. No. 9 Gonzaga.

The 76 Classic also begins tomomrrow through the Nov. 30 in Anaheim and is (you guessed it) right next to Disneyland.

Saint Mary’s takes on UTEP, No. 19 Wake Forest plays host Cal State Fullerton, No. 14 Arizona State plays Charlotte, and Providence faces Baylor.

The Great Alaska Shootout at the University of Alaska continues tomorrow through the 29th with San Diego State playing Western Kentucky, and Seattle taking on Louisana Tech.

Check your local listings for start times.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Day Hoops

Many of you will remember Davidson as the little engine that could in last season’s NCAA tournament. The tiny Charlotte, North Carolina school had a run that caused basketball brackets to be torn and shredded at jobs all over the nation.

The Wildcats came within a three-point shot of reaching the Final Four in a 59-57 loss to eventual champion Kansas.

But if anyone thinks that McKillop is actually going to stay at Davidson through 2015-16 is sadly mistaken. Well, you’re nuts!

McKillop, who has a career record of 340-225 at Davidson in 19 years is now a hot commodity. If he has another great season and another great run at the Big Dance, rest assured he will not be around for a 20th season.

He will get offers from some of the big schools. Schools that will be looking for a new start, a fresh face and someone with a solid track record of winning.

McKillop fits that profile.

McKillop said in a press conference last week that he is at peace where he is, loves the school, great fit for he and his family, blah, blah, blah.

But let someone out of the Pacific 10, ACC, SEC, Big 10, Big 12 or Big East come calling with an offer and see how much McKillop still thinks he’s in the best place at Davidson.

This is not a jab at McKillop or the fine folks at Davidson. I just find it hard to believe that someone of McKillop’s talent would not take advantage of some of the coaching opportunities that will no doubt come his way.
