Here we go!

Had a small taste on Sunday, but what volume that was last night!

Some of the notables:

East Texas A&M 68
Oklahoma 64
(ETA&M really leading this one most of the game, too)

Memphis 80
(18) Iowa State 76

Over in the A10, wth Bonnie? Way to go, Davidson!

Navy's opening bout against G-Dubs puts them in the running for this season's lowest points scored for a D1 team with 39. Looking to you, Southland and NEC, to counter!

East Texas A&M? I'm not sure I've ever heard of them? Oh well, Congratulations to them.

Used to be called East Texas State University. Just moved up to Div. 1 in 2022. This is a really embarrassing loss for Oklahoma.

From Las Vegas: No. 22 UCLA knocks off No. 5 Arizona, 84-75 and No. 15 Gonzaga defeats Purdue, 78-72.

UCLA looked really good

Most recently Texas A&M - Commerce

I don’t think we had any NonD1 over D1 yesterday

Ugh. Two pointless months of CBB.

We had one on the women's side. Virginia State beat Norfolk State 63-62.

This was a fun finish:

Finally, something to make me feel good about Penn State football.

Loyola basketball is back to being irrelevant/non-existent in Chicago:

Maybe in the past, but now most every school has a new team(and staff ?) to get ready for conference play.

Not for me. I live for this time of year.

Been saying for years the A-10 will regret adding them. They are usually bad with extremely high highs. They were coming off a high era when adding to the A-10.

It is little brother of Texas A&M. They belong to the same system.

I always laugh seeing some of the non-D1s on the schedules.

Most lower D1’s definitely go for the absolute lowest teams they can find. They aren’t going to risk playing a local D2 or NAIA school and losing- and a lot would indeed end up losing those games. Instead, they seem to focus almost entirely on schools with less than 200 students.

Sad, but that’s what it take for some schools to avoid embarrassing losses.

Fresno State regularly schedules their local Mennonite D2 neighbor, Fresno Pacific University, but doesn’t always come out as the winner.

On opening night this season, the Bulldogs did avoid the loss, but struggled and only won by about 10.

Bad first impression by Cal Baptist. Ouch.

I didn't know Cal Baptist was prominent enough to make North Florida a buy game.
