Welcome to the Palestra, where as always it’s cold outside but short-sleeves warm inside. We’re just underway in the first game of the Philly Classic between Loyola, Md., and Howard. I’m not planning on liveblogging every game in full, but throughout today and tomorrow I’ll bring you highlights, anecdotes and some analysis from each game.
So check back throughout the weekend for new posts.
To answer Fred's question, you bet I'll be keeping an eye on the stands to keep track of the attendance. The crowd right here isn't all that big right now -- under 1,000, I'd say -- but there's a nice traveling contingent of Loyola fans and a good few people who seem to be here just to watch a basketball game.
I'm sure there will be many more here for the Drexel game.
By the way, I’ll be keeping one eye on Delaware State-Delaware when that kicks off, too.
