ISU struggling against their defense, or it's just the first game of the season and they can't get in a rhythm.

Edit: Strong finish going into the half at least.

First game of Shaka's tenure tonight! I'm so loving excited to watch some up tempo basketball for the first time in forever. The players won't be scared of getting benched immediately and punished every time they make a tiny mistake. Rick Barnes had a real knack for demoralizing his team and Shaka is basically the exact opposite.

Washington is in a complete rebuild year, right?

Also, Bill Walton is calling the game tonight.

Auburn's game against UAB wasn't going to be televised but ESPN let them just run the feed from the arena's video board on WatchESPN with audio from the radio broadcast. So you're seeing all the stupid little games and player trivia they show in the arena during breaks, it's pretty fun.
