College Bball Thread

Detroit Mercy now up 62-60, Demezi with 11 (4-8 FGs, 3-7 treys), 4 boards and a steal, good to see him playing well (but fouled out)

Btw he's listed at 230 lbs....

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.

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? 

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

Jesus, charges are stupid.

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

Add barstoolsports tv to the list of ways I’ve watched college basketball.   UAB/Toledo is playing in the barstool sports invitational.   Miss st/Akron to follow

Their first real live sport broadcast and they have a scorebug infinity times better than FOX/BTN.

They seem entertaining and listening to them sweat out their first half bets live on air was kind of funny and different but moving forward that game will be going on a muted tv.   UAB up 7 at half

Biggest mascot dedication has to be the St Joseph owl right?   They flap their arms up and down all game.  Amazing stuff.  Not helping though Houston up 15 with 9 min to go in the first half

Zags playing like they are a #2, but in the bathroom polls.

Sparty up 7 at half

Michigan State looking pretty good. 

 

Honestly I think it's great that the Big Ten is going to ride under the radar this year. 

[reconmkd]

I don’t think the Zags are as good as they have been in the non-conference in the past. Remember Tenn apparently dominated them in one of the secret squirrel exhibition matches a week or so ago.

Belmont/Furman tied at half

I feel dirty cheering for Michigan State but...I always want Gonzaga to lose so they don't go undefeated and I want MSU to be ranked high when we spank em

[Uspshoosier]

Temple up 5 on Nova at half.   Temple was up double digits at one point 

 

North Carolina is in a dog fight right now.   Down 7 to Charleston at half and having giving up 50
