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.

Pulled over from N/V which I stupidly edited into

quote:

meanwhile NC State is struggling against Montana but I can't watch it so not sure if it's the normal stupidity or some special new kind. They are very short handed inside; Rowan is concussed or something and he could at least grab rebounds, and new god Kapita was left stateside because they weren't sure the US would let him back in. Even if they beat Montana, Creighton will gently caress them up tomorrow.

State pulled away in the second after they stopped turning it over every time down. Smith still has a bit of the yips but improving. Dorn looks like an absolute steal. Still losing to Creighton.

Short-handed NC State does enough to beat St. Joe's. Meanwhile, Ole Miss is showing that any inside game whatsoever would have been enough to keep State in it against Creighton. Five more games till Yurtseven.

Yeah, I'm not saying it's some kind of resume-line achievement, more just a numerical curiosity of the type you don't really see between two nominally D1 teams. Like a basketball Scorigami.

Elentar, why isn't Dennis Smith Jr. better than Cat Barber? I want him to be better than Cat Barber.

He's pretty drat good already though and he hasn't had the practice and polish. He seems to get the yips a bit early in games but once it clears up he's generally the best on the court, that might still be true come ACC time. Illinois game will be a good marker.

Edit: never thought this would be the case but State really needs Rowan back in the mix. Dunno what the hell Abu is doing today.

NC State beat Tennessee State by 12 but needed OT to do it. Yurtseven is finally eligible now so they've got four games against lovely opposition to figure things out before starting ACC play at Miami. They're boned.
