Sports Open Line is abridged tonight due to KMOX’s broadcast of the Billikens basketball game. Matt Pauley is live from Chaifetz Arena where he previews SLU’s matchup vs Paul Quinn College and the Blues’ battle against Buffalo. Benjamin Hochman, sports columnist for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, then joins the show to explain why the Cardinals should be hesitant about pursuing shortstop free agent Dansby Swanson, the dangers of anti-Semitism in sports, and the Blues’ touching ceremony honoring those who lost their lives at the CVPA school shooting.
