Maryland/Marquette tied at half 

[Home Jersey 17,556]

Marquette losing by 6 to Maryland with 3 mins and change left in the game. Maryland is without Payne. Don't think Marquette is really any good this year.

Payne dominated the first half and went down with a nasty ankle turn in the second

Yeah, they are down. They’ve got like 2.5 players.  Wonder if Shaka is already wishing he portaled.

Bizjack almost had the game winning shot.

Except Payne was playing. Shaka went with his players, by midseason they’ll be fine

Maryland pulled away after Payne was out. Not that it really matters. Even Marquette fans think this year's team has an uphill battle to make the tournament. We shall see.

They will have plenty of opportunities to win some marquee non conference games.   Still have to play Purdue and Wisky.  College basketball is hard to predict sometimes.   It’s what makes it the greatest sport.   Interested if they get better as the season goes on

UConn looks pretty good in the first half against BYU at TD Garden. 

Nebraska losing by 7 to Oklahoma at halftime

BYU was on the verge of letting a blowout form in the first half but tightened things up a bit. Fortunate to only be down 11. Rough game for Dybantsa.

As annoying as UConn Dan is, I'm happy to report there's no way Purdoo can hang with the likes of the Huskies as far as top-ranked teams are concerned.

I'm willing to bet Hurley gets 3 titles in 4 years lol... they are my early season title favorite for sure.

Barf. But not a tenth of the amount of barf if Purdoo ever wins one in my lifetime.

DDV, Tucker, and this years IUBB team got a lot of love during the UConn BYU game in a short segment on coaches at new schools this year.

I don't know how or when I missed the Nijel Pack experience moving to Oklahoma. It was probably when I checked out on basketball during my residual post-Woodson era depression in the off season.

[HinnyHoosier 6,694]

Well BYU didn't roll all the way over and die. Clawed back to within 7 with 5:00 to go.

UConn not responding well to the defensive pressure from BYU.
