College Hoops Around The Country [TN opponents, RPI, others]

Buckle up. We’re quite possibly in line for the wildest season in years.

I think its a product of the transfer portal and COVID. A lot of mid majors have a lot more talent than usual due to those 2 factors.

emoni bates went crazy on michigan in the first half, has 17 points. eastern michigan up on michigan at half .

This was the game of the night. Emoni looked great and EMU gave them a hell of a game.

Makes no sense for Colorado’s schedule to be the way it is. They traveled to play a Q4 road game less than 48 hours before they play, essentially, a second road game against a top 5 team. Whoever handles their scheduling should be fired on the spot.

I could be wrong, but I think the Tshiebwe injury is worse than they're letting on.

Tshiebwe seems like a solid dude and I don’t wish him anything bad, but it would be fun to see the kitties pay a huge NIL deal to keep a pro level guy in school another season then the guy not be available to play!

Tad Boyle was on with Tony Basilio, yesterday, and broke down the reasons behind it, its disadvantages, and how it was a game had to win if they had postseason aspirations. My guess, based on how he talked, was that he expected to beat Grambling and lose to Tennessee, but that a win last night could propel them to a possible upset, tomorrow. That seems unlikely unless that loss was an aberration and Tennessee comes out just flat as a pancake.

I have a hard time believing Colorado will play as bad as they did against Grambling. Maybe we end up running away with it from the tip, but I have a feeling it will be a dog fight in the first half and our depth and talent will put it away in the 2nd……or Colorado could just be THAT bad.

CBS having issues for anyone else? Just cutting out briefly every now and then.

Yes. Sound is cutting out periodically, too. I've not noticed it much since the 1st Q ended.

I honestly don’t understand why BHH went to Louisville when there was better schools interested in him. I mean they are now 0-2

Grambling is one of the worst teams in the country. Going to put pressure on us to handle business. A loss will be a black eye on our resume

Narrator: "It was a black eye on their resume."

KY v Michigan State Tuesday at 7 on ESPN.

Dick Vitale has been fighting cancer and he’ll be returning for this game.

They almost lost their first game, I think to Arkansas Pine Bluff.

There were multiple upsets tonight in college basketball. Been a wild start to the season.

This is why I'm not worried about this team.

You don’t know how good of a team you have until Tournament time.

Carmelo Anthony's son, Kiyan, gets Syracuse basketball offer

 

[cardvolfan]

I just know he left here on great terms and TBA is about 10 minutes from his house, I think both parties would have interest if he opted for another year as a transfer.

TBA is not 10 minutes from his house.

Louisville now 0-3 lol

Louisville now 0-3 lol

All three games 1-pt. losses...crazy

 

[berryvol]

Not to twist the knife, but Cason Wallace is so awesome. Massive recruiting miss for us. Dude brings the energy every single possession (something we desperately needed last game).

 

[YankeeVol]

Louisville and ‘Cuse losing to garbage teams….
