BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- For those of you keeping score at home, there are 100 days remaining in the college basketball season until “Selection Sunday” arrives. For the Flyers, that means 24 more games, the biggest of which on the UD non-con sked being this Sunday vs. Saint Mary’s. What transpires at 4:00pm EST in Phoenix will go a long way to determine what seed the Red and Blue will see next to their name in 100 days.
That is my only wish: that when all of us wake up on Sunday morning 14 weeks and 2 days from now -- that the Flyers no longer have to worry
if their name will be called, but rather
when.
