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.

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]

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

That reverse pivot to the left hand scoop? *chef's kiss*

Minnesota doing Minnesota things at home vs Green Bay (coming off their 4 win season). 

Down 4 at half.

At Minnesota will be a good litmus test for this staff. Will we take care of business against a bad team on the road, or will we be subjected to the usual excuse-making about how it's so hard to win on the road in the Big Ten, with heaping praise for Minnesota's roster full of nobodies, and how it was only a matter of time before everything came together for them? 

 

(Apologies for the rant. My IU basketball PTSD kicks in at weird moments.)

If the Pacers are going to have to suffer through this nightmare of a season being in a position to draft that kid would make it worth it.

What Curt Cignetti said applies here:

”They haven’t played this team.”

Gophers hit a shot from about 55 feet at the buzzer to defeat the fighting Doug Gottliebs.
