It's a 4 point game.

Also losing most of our tough non-conference schedule is what we do. It's all prep for March.

I thought we were getting a third generation of Barrys but nope, Rick just kept pumping 'em out. Also Canyon is a loving horrendous name.

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.
I feel like this is the first year in a long time I've tuned into an Arizona game and not known who multiple people were.

This is how I am at the start of every college basketball season. The only reason I know who most of the MSU guys are is because this class was so hyped.

UConn's gonna lose at home to Wagner.

I'd laugh but NC State just about lost to a very pesky Georgia State team.

I try to keep up but it seems like I'll here guys are supposed to be here or there and then they don't end up there once the season actually starts.

I still find myself getting frustrated in the same way as Arizona last year, though. Arizona does some defense but just doesn't turn that defense into scores often enough. Although Bridges is destroying them.

Yeah, I was just saying poo poo to get the thread started. Not surprising this game is close, though I am actually surprised Michigan State is losing, since Arizona usually bonks it.

ISU perimeter defense should actually be good with Naz and Thomas out there - Morris is of course more than adequate. Just need to keep offenses outside of 15 feet or they will get crushed on rebounds.

A good offensive strategy against us may be to just jack up 3s and go rebound.

This game was kinda a combination of freshmen doing dumb stuff and Graham doing dumb stuff. KU's still in it, but I think Indiana has the win, but it's a respectable loss, if it happens.

Not liking that perimeter defense at all going forward, seeing how that destroys Kansas so often in the tournament. But Josh Jackson looks good as hell for a frosh, and Frank Mason is the truth. And IU is my secondary rooting interest, so it's fine.

Still, day after my birthday, and I get this. :smith:

No non-D1 wins on the first day, although it took Southern Miss 2 OTs to put away NAIA Tougaloo College. Beyond the Wagner upset at UConn: the Frank Haithization of Tulsa continued with an opening day home loss to Jacksonville State; Boston College has already lost to a sub-300 Kenpom team, Nicholls St; Hawaii somehow lost to SIU Edwardsville; and Penn State dropped one to Albany.

I would argue that Albany has had a better program than Penn State for a while.

If you're not willing to lick the boot, then really why are you in politics lol? Everything is a cycle of just getting stomped on so why do you want to lose to it over and over, just submit like me, I'm very intelligent.
Why is Uconn allowing so many shots on the perimeter?

Why are they turning it over so much on transition?

Why are the men such dogshit?
