UConn is probably still pretty bad and Oregon might be overrated but man seeing the Hawks dominate two games like that is awfully nice after how ugly last year was

Jim Delany is loving ON this.

31-4 first half against EMU is, something.

Can't imagine anyone being "ready" for Zion Williamson but Austin Wiley still looks very rusty after his year off. Just the fact that this is the most high-profile non-conference regular season matchup possibly in Auburn history is pretty fun but I'm not expecting much.

ISU up 9 on Arizona at the half despite shooting 15% from 3. Amazing what rebounding will do for ya.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Arizona is weird this year in that it is very much not the powerhouse of previous years but they seem to be executing the offense really well so far. But November basketball is sort of pointless and defenses are bad even by college standards.

Uh, no. Jalen Fischer was far and away their best player and the floundered without him when he went down with an injury.

I'm watching the ISU/SDSU game on WatchESPN and they use the above the board camera a lot, like 90% of the time. It's an interesting view, but it means the camera moves a lot to follow the ball. Starting to give me a headache.

Anyway, Clones up 23 and running away with this. Would have been nice for them to beat AZ so they could play some tougher teams. ISU looking like they should be really good this year once Wigginton is back.

There’s a GDT but now that the game is over that run at the end for us was nice. We get pasted if we play like that against Kansas though.

UVA scuffled some but ended up beating Dayton, which means that tomorrow the crime against basketball that is Virginia-Wisconsin will be perpetrated once more.

Meanwhile Texas just managed to keep ahead of UNC to the end, kept expecting them to lose it and they never did. Shaka Smart might actually have a decent team this time around. And Roy Williams' Thanksgiving got ruined, so we should all enjoy ours that little bit more.
