All I care about is good basketball games and right now Rhode Island/Texas St is a good one.   Tie game 4 min to go 

Jalen Carey turns it over and doesn’t get back on defense.  Bad look for the former Cuse player.   Texas St up 2 with 2:25 to go

Texas St up 3 with 15 sec to go. Rhode Island ball

I am skeptical Archie will be successful.  He showed me no signs he can build a winning culture.  He inherited one at Dayton

Texas st is going to win it

That’s two very bad losses for Rhode Island…yikes.

Yeah I have a feeling this UNC team is criminally overrated. They were flaming garbage for a majority of last season, got a little hot at the end of the year and got a dream NCAA tourney draw. I get why they got the preseason love, but they’re not impressive to me at all. 

I agree about playing St. Peter's in the Elite 8 but they did beat Baylor, UCLA, and Duke. Almost Kansas. I think they are good but it's extremely hard to make the National Championship game in back to back years. I know they did it in 16-17. They have a ton of pressure. I don't think they are a very deep team. That is where IU has a huge advantage on a lot of teams. I don't think our next opponent, Xavier, is that deep. Now, I am still scratching my head as to why Gonzaga is #2. Outside of Timmie I'm not impressed with them.

They’re really playing well. They got punched dead in the mouth, got down 14, and they’ve just out-competed SLU ever since.

St. Louis finally woke up.  Pulling away

Morehead state up 12 at half over Bellarmine.  Freeman(guard who torched IU until he got hurt) has 10

Yeah, SLU really upped their ball pressure and that was that. And Evansville just doesn’t have enough guys. But I think Ragland’s gonna do good work there. Didn’t realize he’d hired Marcus Wilson as an Asst. That’s a good hire. He knows everybody in St Louis and he’s been involved for years with bringing African players to the US.

Northeastern down 5 at Providence with 22 sec to go in the first half 

Masai Troutman plays for northeastern 

had an IU offer.   Getting a lot of playing time as a freshman 

[Uspshoosier]

Georgia Tech just took the lead at Georgia St with 5:10 to go.   Probably be an upset if Tech holds on.   Georgia St might be the best team in Georgia right now

Tennessee/Colorado

Towson/Penn

north Texas/St Marys 

Colorado lost to Grambing st early in the week so not sure that will be a good game 

I’m going to be talking about Towson a lot this year and if you get a chance to watch them do it because they are going to be a really good team.  One of the best mid major teams this year.   Of course since I say that and you watch them they will look like trash.  Penn is one of the favorites for the Ivy League so this should be a good game

Cincinnati up 5 early in the first half.   Rob just subbed into the game
