Scheduling is always a difficult thing for a college basketball team to do.
And putting together home-and-home series between two power conference teams is something that never happens enough.
Which leads me to this: A story, in four parts:

Sounds good. Fire up the fax machine. I’ll have my guys draft it up and send it your way for signatures. https://t.co/icGD2n06Z7

Clearly, they did not put all of this together in the span of seven minutes.
But this was a new and unique way to announce a home-and-home series.
And I’ll give them the attention they earned for it.
We need more games like this. Who’s next up?
