Watched some replays today.  Oklahoma should of never lost that game last night.   They were up double digits most the game.   Up 14 with 8 min to go and up 9 at the 3:40 mark.    Brutal last 4 min stretch where they missed a layup that would of extended the lead to 4.  That led to a runout and transition 3  for Sam houston to win the game.    
 

not your typical Florida St team this year.   Still should of found a way to beat a team like Stetson but not having 5 scholly players available played into it.    If Caleb Mills is on your team and is your lead guard then you got problems.   There was a reason Houston got better once he left.   Brown playing for a low major is probably going to benefit him tremendously moving forward.  Playing in a system that allows him to do his thing without worrying about getting yanked for jacking up some questionable shots will be fun to watch.    He pulled from deep on one possession missed and the ball found him again and he pulled from even deeper and nailed it.   Just hope people that follow him or are around him allow him to do his thing at this level and enjoy the process.  If he plays like he did the other night stuff will work itself out and he will get an opportunity at a higher level.    ASun has some good teams.   Stetson was picked 7th.   Liberty is always a threat and Dunk city beat USC 

End of the Loyola game in regulation was crazy.  They should of lost but they had full court pass with about 2 sec to go and a kid hit the turn around to tie it up.  They ended up winning in 2OT

I like Weber but his voice is BRUTAL. I can’t believe they put him on color work. 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

Purdue looking good. Braden Smith running the offense very well. Active on defense. Newnan hitting shots. Edey just bring huge.

They looked great early last season too, with a LOT more talent, and we know how that turned out

I think Painter is better without the stars. Ivey was a talent Painter had never had. I think this roster fits his coaching way more.

They look like a team that could have better chemistry and have enough talent to be a problem in conference. I flat out hate Purdue but respect Painter and think he is a class act. As good as Ivey was, I think he was a net negative for the team.

Yes a lot of standing around watching Ivey last year which is not typical for Purdue. After 45 years I’ve learned to not count them out.

Tuned in to the PUs for a second.

Honestly, the very first thing I saw was Edey getting the ball down low -- taking a couple extra steps, then making a bucket. 

Ah -- some things just never change.

Providence up 1 on rider with 31 sec to go.   Providence has shot 43 Fts

Providence survives by 1.  Rider player tripped with the ball driving to the basket.

Felt sorta bad for the dude. Nobody touched him -- he just fell down.

They are an interesting team. Loyer and Smith both very confident players. Lacking in size but not a lot else. Great ball movement per usual. They shouldn’t be a threat but this is a Painter team I’m curious to see how it works out. Smith, Morton, Loyer starting when you have Kaufman and Furst is interesting.
