As we begin a new year of college basketball one of my favorite things to do on this site is follow the games in this thread. I look forward to many discussions during the games with the regulars and hopefully some newer members. Happy opening day eve everyone. While there is no marathon tomorrow there still is some good games to keep an eye on. Texas A&M / West Virginia, Memphis/Alabama, Pitt/Navy, Iowa State/Missouri, Yale/Creighton, Georgia Tech/UCLA. And of course IU/ISU.

Caught up on some recorded games. Iowa st is going to struggle this year. Missouri looked pretty solid against them. Texas A&M has a slow start but turned it around against West Virginia. They played without Williams as well so they should be a team to watch in the Sec. Wake lost to Georgia southern

Clemson basketball player David Skara suspended by NCAA

Hours before the Tigers' season opener against Western Carolina on Friday, the NCAA announced that Clemson men’s basketball redshirt-junior David Skara will be suspended for the first nine games of the 2017-18 season.

The suspension was handed down due to a violation that occurred while Skara was a student-athlete at Valparaiso University in April 2016 prior to transferring to Clemson and serving a year in residence, according to a press release.

“We’re disappointed in the NCAA for withholding David from competition, but we are certainly proud of the way he is handling it,” said Clemson coach Brad Brownell. “We’ll anticipate his return for our game against Florida on Dec. 16.”

Skara earned the Tiger Strength award during his first season with the team and Brownell called him Clemson's best defender during the team's media day in October.

Stacey Osburn, Director of Public and Media Relations for the NCAA said collegiate sports' governing body made the decision to suspend Skara last month
