Media/fans: "Start of college bball sucks, no one plays anyone, these games are terrible."

Scott Drew: takes his team of transfers/freshman into a frenzied crowd on the road against a loaded and experienced Zags team and gets drilled by 40.

Media/fans: "Wow, Baylor isn't as good as I thought they were, they have holes to fill, this wasn't a good look"

I appreciate that they took the game, but you're going to hear about it if you get boat raced like that. The point being, they have a lot of talent and will be good later, but they are being ranked on potential way more than most of the teams around them.

#9 UNC tied with Elon with under 7 left….

Is there anything Elon can't do?

which is why 99% of coaches won't play those games - that's what can happen, especially a loaded team like gonzaga that can just explode on their home court.

this is why college bball non-conf season is pretty miserable.

Didn't even finish Day 1 of college hoops season and ESPN talking heads are already projecting Final 4 teams.

What's ESPN pushing Day 2, really, really early Joey Lunardi March Madness brackets!!

Neptune has destroyed Villanova in two years. Pretty impressive actually considering what he was left.

Believe I heard no one has done this with that FG pct. since Bill Waltom in 1973 Title game.

Also, the guy that replaced him at Hofstra is doing a better job there than he did.

A big game this Saturday, as we will play both this season:
Auburn @ Houston

Auburn at Houston. Should be interesting.

 

[BigJCy]

You think UNC has much of a shot for the victory tonight in Phog Allen?
