Bradley/Utah st OT 

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

[Uspshoosier]

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]

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

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.

But, but, but, the Terps have Kevin Willard as their head coach...

Yep. I was willing to be impressed by them but so far, nope.

So among the B1G contenders below the first tier, I’ve adjusted upwards my expectations of UW & UM — both of whom I’m skeptical of, still — and adjusted downwards my expectations of NW, UMd, and OSU (only slightly in OSU’s case).

The no point guard situation, is going to be their downfall. 

Man, it's nice to know our pg position is in good hands for the future!

Ummm…

Northwestern.

They may be better than last year and they finished 12-8 in conference last year.
