It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.


So essentially the NCAA is never going to hand out severe punishments ever then. Unless you do something momentously stupid, you're never getting caught until years later anyway,

Last year I thought Iowa State would suck, and then they turned out to be pretty good. I'm backing to thinking they will suck, but will be happy to be proven wrong. We lost our two best players in Brockington and Hunter. Otzelberger has shown to get out a lot out of his players though, so I'm hoping this team is better than expected.

ISU really fell off towards the end of last year, and I'm not sure if that was because guys just got gassed after the wear and tear of the season, or if teams actually figured out ISU's game plan. I'm thinking it was the former, if it's the latter, then we're probably hosed.

Gradey Dick looked like a one and done in his first game last night.

He's a lottery pick to me based on the sheer amount of Dick jokes already made and coming. Like 80% of everything written about him sounds like a dick joke, including my last sentence. I don't know when it will get old but it hasn't yet.

there's a whole shitload of games tomorrow, very much looking forward to the month or two of the college basketball season where i can focus on tiny schools i've never heard of playing and once in a great while beating much bigger ones, before conference play arrives and it's just UNC-Duke round the clock

Memphis beat Vandy and I am not real sure if Memphis played good defense or Vandy was bad? Memphis didn't exactly look like world beaters and are a terrible 3 point shooting team (as many predicted)

UAB put up 111 vs. Alabama State today. We looked more cohesive than last year, but we were playing weak competition tonight. We play Dayton Friday afternoon. I have a feeling we're gonna do great things this year. I'm just happy we play Fastest 40 style again. It's just fun to watch your team full-court press with 100 points

VT has better guard play this year than last, and our overall front court is much deeper. Aluma was a better overall player than Basile, but the dropoff on O is only at the rim, Basile looking great on the drive and from deep.

Having a 6'9 265 lb backup 5 is very very fun, and we have a legit 2 deep at both the four and five this year instead of one of each with a below average stretch four helping.

Lincoln University (MO) became the first* non D1 school this year to beat a D1, taking out Missouri Kansas City. D2 LIncoln's name makes a lot of sense given that it was founded in 1866 to educate black US Army vets.

* Actually it might have been D2 Illinois Springfield beating Northern Illinois though they aren't as interesting now that they aren't called Sangamon State. or maybe D2 Notre Dame of Ohio beating Cleveland State. Nothing all that noteworthy anyway)

Also at one point today there were like 170 games going at one time, easily the peak of this season's schedule.

Purdue won easily over a Milwaukee team who was on night two of a back to back. Milwaukee has Vin Baker Jr and a cousin of Manute Bol, so that's cool.

Does Michigan State have a guy this year like

Year 1: Redshirted at Whatever U
Y2: Transferred to MSU mid-season
Y3: Played in 22 games
Y4: ???
Y5: Missed season due to leg injury
Y6: Missionary work
Y7: Played in 36 games, averaged 8.3ppg
Y8: Missed season to undergo double arm transplant.
This year: He’s 26 and somehow still technically a junior, leads the team in points, rebounds and steals, everyone hates him

Just came back from Annapolis, Houston didn't look too convincing but still beat a bad St. Joe's team pretty solidly. For some reason, Navy kept the arena's AC off until late in the second half, so the game had a ton of interruptions to towel off the floor

Was hoping the Gonzaga and UNC scores held so we could have a shot at #1, oh well

Michigan almost lost to Eastern Michigan (with Emoni Bates), but pulled it out. Good thing Hunter Dickinson came back (and his 31 points) because Michigan went 25/40 from the line and 5/21 from 3 and couldn't defend worth a drat. Fun game though!

Purdue missed their first 16 3s tonight and went 2-19 overall. Luckily A) They were playing Austin Peay, B) their defense is improved from last year, and C) Zach Edey is 7'4" and cannot be guarded 1 on 1. He went 12-13 from the floor.

VT's rotational players combined for 15/25 from 3 tonight, finished 16/32 after getting backups and walk-ons in. Mike Young's offense is very fun, excited to see em play in person against OK State in Brooklyn next month. Hopefully they get better on defense as the season goes on :v:

Can't talk much about ISU, they blew out their first two cupcakes, so that's a good sign I guess. They get Villanova on Thanksgiving, then St. Johns and Iowa. Those are their only real non-con games they could lose. If they go into Big 12 play with just 1 or 2 losses, I'll feel pretty good about the season.
