We're back for day two from the Value City Arena.
Princeton (and hardly anyone else) watches the second half of Alabama A&M vs. South Dakota State.

Good afternoon. We have arrived in Columbus for the season-opener.
The rest of the crowd appears to be taking their time.
In the first of today's four games the Fighting Palindromes of IUPUI (pictured) defeated Alabama A&M 86-47 in a game that featured a remarkable twenty-seven turnovers for the losing team. That's roughly one turnover for each person in the stands.
The second quarterfinal was even less competitive and watched by even fewer people, but it was just as turnover-friendly. Kent State overmatched South Dakota State 105-50, with the visitors from the Mount Rushmore state giving the ball away twenty-four times. Kent State shot 63% from the field on the way to victory.

Chris Young is keeping a daily blog about his trip to the Pacific Rim for the Japan All-Star Series. You can follow his adventures here. Young will most likely start for the Major League Baseball All-Stars on either 11/7 in Osaka or 11/8 in Fukuoka. Both games start at 4:00 am ET.
The second half of 2006 has been a period of strong Japan/Princeton basketball synergy, with Mason Rocca's visit for the FIBA World Basketball Championships, Coach Thompson's trip as part of "Operation Hardwood III," Chris Young's journey and my parents' vacation all happening in the last three months.
