College basketball season is upon us and non-conference schedules are in full swing.

50 Minutes of Boredom
Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, from 11:00 to 11:50 AM, I sit in Room 220 of Quinnipiac University’s College of Liberal Arts, Building 1 and endure the most painfully boring 50 minutes of my day.
