Iowa loses as a 32 point favorite to Eastern Illinois.

No dominant teams this year

Sure seems that way. Could be like 2014 where a random 7 seed gets hot at the right time and ends up with the title.

Also, Old Friend Alert. This was…..quick. I wonder what happened?

That’s interesting to say the least

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Arkansas having some significant roster injury issues early this season.

 

[therickbol]

Alabama up 1 at halftime to a 1-10 Jackson State team.

Jackson State is just fired up about losing Deion. Riding that emotion!

 

[TheMookieMonster]

SIU Edwardsville beat Saint Louis tonight. And just like that the much hyped SLU is now 8-5. Bet Yuri Collins wish he didn’t get cold feet and came to Tennessee.

 

[CornbreadVol]

TeamRankings has us projected as a 1 seed with an overall record of 25-6

He finally realized Mike White was coaching at UGA.

Certainly would be nice. But, that’s expecting a lot from this team. We still need to get some more consistency on offense. Last night was a good start. We have a favorable opening to the SEC schedule so hopefully we can build some momentum.

Yeah it sucks, of all years to have injury issues. Rumor is Smith is dealing with a nagging MCL issue so could be back by mid to late January but they obviously want to be cautious with him. Luckily the roster is very deep but can't replace guys like he and Brazile.

Yeah, our guy JJJ has been sidelined with a knee injury all year, too. Nasty stuff knee injuries. I hope both Smith and JJJ can make it back but I’m not holding my breathe for JJJ.

I almost wonder if this doesn't end up being a situation similar to that of Darius Garland or Michael Porter Jr?

Fear or further injury risk, and they just shut him down and he rests it or has surgery in order to prepare for the draft. It would suck for Arkansas, obviously, but we've seen this route taken by others before Smith who were projected to be top-10 picks.

Announcers made fun of Burns for a good 2-3 minutes. Lol

Missouri up 52-27 over Illinois half

Damn, that's a spanking

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Missouri wins 93-71. Wow. Did not see that happening. Hard to get a read on Mizzou but they are now 11-1 with a quality win on their resume and only loss is to Kansas. Pretty nice job by Gates in his first season.

They’re a high-scoring team, but Illinois has been up and down a bit. Sometimes a team that is built to score will get very hot and can beat a decent team because they outscore them. I still believe they’ll get gutted in the SEC, while pulling off a few upsets along the way.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Missouri beats Kentucky. LSU beats Arkansas. Just night #1. The SEC is going to be WILD this year.
