New College Basketball Rule...

Designated FT shooter.

Could you imagine the recruiting for that spot? They wouldn't even have to be good at the game of basketball. Just FT shooting.

Sun belt/Mac challenge has been awesome 

ball st up 1 over old dominion with 23 sec left in first half 

S Alabama up 4 at Buffalo with 6 sec in first half 

It'll be interesting to see what Mike Lewis can do with 10 new guys on his roster this season.

They ended up winning by 5 but it was a struggle at times.  Old Dominion should be decent in the Sun Belt this year.   
 

Speaking of new guys on rosters.  I’m watching Utah St play Bradley and Utah st has 13 new players and a new coach.   O points from last years team.   That’s crazy 

 

Bradley is up 2 (Conner Hickman from Bloomington South is playin for Bradley)

[Uspshoosier 51,332]

Good finishes coming up.

Holy cross just drains a 3 to go up 1 and now have the ball With 40 Sec to go.   Wow

Even on a underwhelming slate college basketball is delivering

Bradley/Utah st OT 

holy cross up 1 with 4 sec to go.  Georgetown ball.   

[Uspshoosier 51,332]

Holy cross could have held onto the ball and got fouled but the kid shot it up from 3 after an offensive rebound. That’s how Georgetown got the ball with 4 sec down 1

Holy Cross wins it 

[Uspshoosier 51,332]

Bradley hits a 3 to go up 4 with under 8 sec to go.  Big time shot.   They are going to win it.

DePaul down 21 with 6 min to go in the first half at home to Long Beach St. LBS on a 17-0 run 

[RaceToTheTop 28,932]

Holy Cross beats Georgetown 67-66.  Gtown led by 11 with 8:30 left and gave up an 11-0 run.

This November feels like March with all the upsets/mid majors beating big name programs! Hopefully we avoid their fate

Pretty close game all around.  Georgetown hit a 3 to extend the lead to 3 and then Octave for Holy Cross took the game over.  Georgetown had no answer for him.   He finished with 33.   Best part of that game was when Holy Cross was up 1 with around 10 sec to go they had to shoot because of shot clock and they get offensive rebound and kicked it out to a guard who instead of dribbling it back out so Georgetown has to foul he try’s a kill shot 3 like FAROKHMANESH did against Kansas from N Iowa back in the day.  Lol.  He missed it and Georgetown got the rebound and had a chance to win the game.

Watching Maryland/UAB in Asheville. After starting UMd’s first two games, Jordan Geronimo begins this one on the bench.

JG is in and has looked pretty good, basically the guy we know: pick-6 steal and dunk, nice pass across the zone for an open 3 (missed), late/lost on some defensive rotations.

I find it notable he’s at the 4. Slightly small 4 is clearly his best spot, still.

By game three JG has gone from the starting 3 to the backup 4.

Not that they were bad last year, but there is no reason to expect Maryland to be any better this year than last year. Maybe a touch worse. Still no point guard, and while Harris-Smith may end up being good, he won’t be as good as Hakim Hart was for them.
