Yeah, apparently 7'3" RS Haarms can really play and will eventually be a surprise good player.

I'll be honest, I really like the way Carsen Edwards plays. One of the better guards in the big ten.

From d1vision.com:
Bruce Pearl Refusing to Cooperate with Internal Investigation
Bruce Pearl, the Head Basketball coach at the University of Auburn, is refusing to cooperate in the school’s internal investigation into his program, this according to ESPN. Pearl’s Auburn program employed former assistant Chuck Person’s, who was one of four coaches arrested during the FBI probe into college basketball corruption.

Person’s was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury in New York City. Emanuel “Book” Richardson of Arizona, Tony Bland of USC, and Lamont Evans of Oklahoma State were also indicted Tuesday.

Prosecutors said the four were accused of using bribes to influence star athletes’ choice of schools, shoe sponsors and agents. They face fraud and other charges that carry potential penalties equaling decades of imprisonment.

Pearl came to Auburn after being fired at Tennessee and receiving a three-year show-cause penalty. Once again Pearl is on the hot seat as his program absorbs an internal investigation, one currently not receiving Pearl’s cooperation.

University officials have advised Pearl that his job is in “jeopardy” if he doesn’t have a change of heart. Auburn officials haven’t given Pearl a deadline to cooperate, but sources told ESPN that a decision on his future will be made in the next week or two.

Pearl struggled in his first three seasons with the Tigers, accumulating an overall record of 44-54. Pearl’s best season occurred during the 2016-17 year when the Tigers went 18-14 overall and 7-11 in the SEC.

Love this. Auburn doesn’t deserve a lick of “cooperation”. They willfully hired a known cheater, and he cheated. What’s there to investigate? Bruce Pearl did exactly what they hired him to do.

From Zagoria:  

Alabama freshman point guard Collin Sexton will serve a one-game suspension and miss the team’s season-opener Friday against Memphis but will make his debut on Tuesday.“Collin Sexton will sit out of Friday’s season opener against Memphis to serve a one-game suspension for a violation of NCAA rules,” Alabama AD Greg Byrne said in a statement. “He will be eligible for competition in the team’s home opener on Tuesday versus Lipscomb.”Without Sexton and three injured players —  Riley Norris, Braxton Key and Armond Davis — Alabama beat D-II opponent Alabama-Huntsville, 74-65, on Monday night.

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
