Is anyone else aggravated about how there are no big time matchups for the entire first week of the CBB season? It just does nothing to generate excitement for the sport compared to the hype that the first week of CFB gets with all the great games. 
 

The season should start off with some huge event with marquee teams like the old great Alaskan shootout or NIT Tournament, not all these diabetes inducing cupcake matchups. Seriously is there a reason for such a wimpy start?

We now live in a world where coaches are constantly looking over their shoulders, afraid that any little screwup may cost them their job. Starting the season off with a loss is a disaster at a lot of places, and coaches are scared to death their teams won't be ready for a tough opponent and will look awful. Gotta beat up on a team or two early and calm everyone's nerves a bit. I don't like it, but it's the world of college athletics that big money and mega-contracts have brought us.

Election year.    Champions classic got moved to the second weekend this year.   Usually it starts out the college basketball year

Detroit up 1.   Boston college on the line with 1:47 to go.   Sloppy on both sides the last 5 min 

Boston college gets an offensive rebound and hits a 3 to go up 2 with 14 sec to go.   Detroit ball

I can't figure out what's more interesting -- that New Hampshire played an entirely new roster; or that the basketball has no more sh*t in it. 

Didn’t realize the rest of the tweet had that in there so I better delete the post
