I thought the Champions Classic was always on the first couple of days of the season 

Moved it to the 2nd weekend a couple years ago.  It was suppose to be temporary but evidently not

I shouldn’t love this as much as I do.

Jeff Goodman -

Gonzaga’s Steele Venters, a key offseason addition via the portal from Eastern Washington, is out for the season with a knee injury, source told @TheMessenger. The 6-7 wing averaged 15.3 points and shot 37 percent from 3 last season and was the Big Sky Player of the Year. Began his career at EWU as a walk-on. Gonzaga isn’t deep to begin with. This will definitely hurt the Zags.

[Uspshoosier]

Game of the night should be St Mary’s/New Mexico

WAC/Conference USA challenge starts today as well 

kent st/James Madison 

wichta St/W Kentucky 

that’s about the only good ones.   Tomorrow will be a really good slate of games

Ya know the old line about being born on 3rd base and being treated like you hit a triple?

I still didn't watch much of their Kansas State game because he wasn't playing. Hopefully he gets to play soon though.

You should have watched it all because Collier was a beast.  Probably best Freshman in the county

I guess I get the hype with him being Lebron's son, but he's a high 4 star recruit.  Without the bloodline, he'd be a nice addition to USC but not a guy you would expect to be a game changer right away.

James Madison picking up where they left off.   Up 11 at Kent St in the first half.   if they win this one they might not lose for awhile

They are up 5 at half 

 

I turned off the UC Davis/Pepperdine game and that was a mistake 

Pepperdine was up the whole game and then lost at the buzzer.  Even when I turn off a game college basketball still delivers.

KenPom has only one top 100 team in James Madison's schedule (Michigan State).  Kent State is at 119 and that makes them the second highest rated opponent they have.  It's one of those schedules where they could go 25-3 in the regular season and lose in the conference tourney and be a bubble team at best.

Howard is up 12 now and looks like the more athletic and better team.  

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

Purdue Fort Wayne beat some poor team by 96. Still not sure why games against non D1 teams are played in the regular season.
