Didn’t see one started for this year so I thought I’d start one.
It’s early, but uk looks as good as those teams when cal first got there. They don’t even have their 7 footers playing yet.

Gonzaga played a team so bad tonight that Mark Few's kid scored three points.
Wow. UK's Reeves made Olivari look like an reserved, situational shooter tonight. He hits just a few of those launches and they win, but instead he shot them out of it.
DJ Wagner's 1 for 12 from the field probably didn't help either.
Who was the genius who scheduled the empire classic in direct competition with nfl Sunday? You got UConn, Indiana, Texas all playing, and schedule it for 1pm on a Sunday. Smart.
College basketball just doesn’t seem to be able to get out of its own way.
Maybe they added Louisville just so they could get a discount on renting out the Garden that weekend.
BYU was up on SE Louisiana 30-4 at one point last night. Final was 105-48. This prompted me to confirm that SE Lou is still DI. Turns out they are actually picked to win the Southland Conference. In other words, there is a 110% chance the southland winner will be in a 16 seed playin game this year.
More likely than not McNeese will win that league. Too bad Will Wade is in the middle of a strong-ass suspension.
Phil Martelli is Michigan's interim head coach. Realizing that made me look up his coaching record today via Wikipedia just out of curiosity. I'm sure all of us who are old enough remember that remarkable team from 20 years ago that went to the Elite Eight after being throttled by Xavier in the A-10 quarterfinals. Making it to the Elite Eight, St. Joe's obviously played 4 NCAA Tournament games that season. Martelli went on to coach 15 more years on Hawk Hill. In those 15 seasons, St. Joe's played exactly 4 more NCAA Tournament games. They were 1-3 in those four games (should have beaten eventual national champions UConn in the first round in 2014).
Was that the same year that we made it to the E8 as well, losing to Duke, thanks to some questionable foul calls against Anthony Miles?Quote:

Phil Martelli’s son Phil Martelli Jr. was named the head coach at Bryant this week. I always liked Martelli because he would usually say nice things about X. St. Joe’s has had sone bad teams since Martelli’s departure.Quote:

His best line about X was something along the lines of wanting to come to Senior Day to make sure Stanley Burrell was really leaving.Quote:

Michigan goes down to Long Beach St. Not sure I care all that much but thought I would try to add to this thread.
Also, Valpo up in Illinois early 2nd half. Only reason I mention this is I just realized that Valpo's mascot is now the "Beacons". Now admittedly, I had to look up what the previous mascot was (Crusaders - and I guess that is on the PC cancel list). They actually have 2 mascots - Beacon and Blaze -both apparently Golden Retrievers. I mean, what the hell is going on here? I'm posting about 2 golden retrievers who have become mascots of a mid major who apparently felt that Crusader was PCI. Oy. What time is X and UW tipping?
Good news any time the pompous BIG loses.Quote:

Houston ‘s d is elite. Their o is meh.
If x brings the intensity and the Cintas is rocking, x can pull off the upset
True. But they are a good offensive rebounding team, which concerns me after tonight.
I think Washington could be better than a lot of us are giving them credit for.
I know it was an overtime game, but they nearly did the unthinkable by nearly dropping 100 against San Diego State.
Purdue/Gonzaga this afternoon in the Maui Invitational (from Oahu) should be interesting.
I would also enjoy it if Marquette stomps a mud hole in UCLA in the same event late tonight (Eastern time).
Ugh I wanted Ike so bad this offseason. He’d be such a great piece for the team this year.
Kind of a joke that Purdue is #2 in the country. I can buy top 10-15 maybe
4-6 vs 18-21.
F Purdue
Kenny Payne has figured it out at Louisville?
Looks like they will win more than 4. How much more who knows. This may be their ceiling which means they will still lose a lot of gamesQuote:

I still don’t think they are #2, but we will see as the year goes on. The big ten is kind of meh thoughQuote:

Lots of parity across the board, especially this early in the season. The transfer portal is a big reason IMO. Lots of new players still learning how to play as a team.Quote:

Oh definitely agree. Kinda my point with the up and downs with our squad. UK game at Kentucky while St Joe just lost to Texas AM - Commerce the other day. Wild times.Quote:
