Popcorn Report from the Cincinnati Bearcats home arena. (On my way to Knoxville from Toledo and stopped in Cincinnasty for the UC/FGCU game.)
Bucket style presentation, $6. Crispy, not stale at all. Butter good, maybe a tad salty. Didn't seem to pop at the time at the concession stand, so I'll give this a solid B.

Does popcorn at EBA really cost $10? That’s more expensive than Yankee Stadium.

No. $10 is the down payment. Then you have a two year financing contract at 4% interest.

The 4% is for people with a credit score of 800 or higher

Tennessee popcorn comes with Benton’s bacon.

Trying to avoid early-season spiral, No. 17 Tennessee hosts George Mason

Trying to avoid early-season spiral, No. 17 Tennessee hosts George Mason

Losses to No. 2 Purdue, No. 1 Kansas and No. 17 North Carolina … some “spiral” LMFAO

Key to this game is twofold imo-

1: Hall bounce back + lack of foul trouble from Amari (and we know the whistles won't be in our favor)
2: How healthy is Dalton Knecht for UT?- If he's clearly labored by something, Tennessee has struggled to score without him on the court... the closer we can turn this into a rockfight game, the better chance we will have.

The article shows a bit of discord among a player and coach Barnes.

No matter what they tell the press, the Vols are no doubt expecting this to be a “get right” game for them.

If the Vols struggle at all in the first half, that may trigger a frustrating chain of events that will benefit Mason. Great opportunity to steal a win.

In what is truly a shock to even me- Mason start off at #62 in the inaugural NET ratings by the NCAA (selection committee uses these heavily to decide seeding and bids). Helped bigly by Cornell starting at 55 and being a Q2 win at home (with Toledo on the road also being a Q2 win)

That is a great rank! 2nd highest rating in the A10 after Dayton.

Also the A10 as a whole is ranked 8th overall.

And Providence is 61. How the heck did JMU get to 35??

Another key is going to be to attach their center, 6'11 241lb Jonas Aidoo - he has fouled out 2 of the last 3 games, so he is prone to foul trouble (though that was against two of the best bigs in the Country). He is the only forward who plays more than 10 minutes.

Given how we struggled against Charlotte's bigs, getting him on the bench would be huge.

Beating Michigan State helped

They are having a good year with football and basketball so far. I think their basketball team is ranked and the football team was ranked and is going to a bowl game. Good for them.

Awaka coming back is a big deal for their front court depth. He's a bruiser.

well go for the ankles on him. They can be rolled

If Knecht ends up being out and with Awaka back in... rock fight
