Or Michigan State will come back, I dunno.

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.

Canyon Barry shoots free throws like his dad

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.

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.

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.

We escaped the team formerly known as Dunk City by one point with a clock operator controversy to boot. Looks like free throw shooting is gonna be an Achilles Heel just like in 2014-15.

I hear people say this a lot but I don't think I've ever listened to him speak enough to understand the dislike of him.

Watch any game he calls with Duke in it or even tangentially related and you'll understand.

Also literally every time he calls a Michigan State game he makes the same joke. "Izzo and Dantonio, I bet they eat a lotta linguine up in East Lansing baby!"

Alvin Ellis is the most nondescript player in Spartan history and he singlehandedly kept that came close enough for a comeback to be possible.

Also I saw someone sincerely argue that Mark Dantonio should be fired this year so there are probably people that genuinely believe that about Izzo.

It was Crispin. He's got the same voice and tendency to ramble. Doesn't have the same hot takes though.

Anyone know what the worst regular season record a team had while still making it into the tournament because they went on a tear and won their poo poo conference tourney?

Off the top of my head Holy Cross had like 14 wins going in last year and I remember Miami Ohio doing that too like a decade ago.
