The usually don’t early. When your whole team is new it takes some time. They’ll be ready by March, they always are. Or maybe we’ll luck out and they’ll have another year where they lose to Robert Morris in the NiT.

Little bit surprised by this one. Cleveland State usually has an alright team. Would have thought they could have beat ECU, but I guess that is good for us.

That's Division II Toccoa Falls (Georgia). Last week they lost to Mercer 110-43 and App. State 135-34. There should be a mercy rule for The Junior Little Sisters of the Poor type games.

I wonder if we could beat them by 150. I'm really glad we don't play DII opponents in the regular season.

You see BGSU got taken to OT by Lake Erie College? If you haven;t heard of that school, don't worry, no one has. I only know about it because it's where all of the kids who aren't actually good enough to play college football on our team go every year

Any win for ECU is a good win.

Wichita State being tested again 41-36 lead on Marquette at half.

Michael Porter out for the season

You think Mizzou regrets giving his dad a million dollars to coach there?

Let's pull this thing out in the Cayman Islands, and hope that a couple top 10 teams lose this week so that we can get in.

S. Dakota St. 80, Iowa 72. Down go the Hawkeyes for 2 in a row. Hate to have left the farm to watch that.

IU and Northwestern looking rather puny so far too. And Wisconsin has lost two and plays UCLA next. The bottom of the B10 is not very stout so far. Easy to say, but UC has a chance to climb in the polls (and the court of public opinion) before New Year's Day.

Iowa was picked right in the middle of the pack, NW top 4, IU near the middle, Whisky top half somewhere. Using an average of multiple preseason predictions.

UCLA beat Wisconsin on a last second layup 72-70 tonight.

I was expecting Tulsa and Memphis to be top half teams in this league when the AAC came together, but they both have disappointed so far. If Haith and Tubby can turn those two programs around this league could be pretty strong.

Thanks for the heads up. Weird that when I checked about one hour ago the won loss records were updated but not the KenPom rankings apparently.

Weird thing to note, I heard somebody joke about what high school gymnasium we were playing at; I didn't realize it actually is one. Listening to the broadcast I heard the name "John Gray gym" and decided to look it up.
