kenpom has them 111 (obviously a lot of that is still weighted projection), but it's certainly a team that could end up as an RPI top 100 team. Honestly, whoever comes out of that side of the bracket will be a fairly solid team. No amazing games but these aren't bottom feeder cupcakes either in this tournament.

I make the point only to illustrate that UC will get good tests in this tournament. Most of the teams in that tournament are going to be in the RPI 50-150 range (impossible to say where this early). The kenpom 111 team could well be the kenpom 65 team in 2 months...it's a lot of projection at this point. Iowa looked like the next best team going in (behind UC) but there is plenty of uncertainty.

Yeah...ULL is an exciting team at the very least, and aren't going to see a ton of competition in the Sun Belt outside of GA Southern. They run like crazy and don't play a lick of defense, so at least they're entertaining to watch.

Camera person needs to chill with the zoom...You're 20 feet away dude, we don't need close ups of the guy dribbling the ball.

Ok, go home Iowa, you're drunk....We come out hungry, we should roll.

ULL 80 - 71

I know UC could have used a game against Iowa for the "name value" but I can't really shed a tear when a B10 team goes down hard to a school with a hyphenated name.

Ditto. Was actually kind of rooting for the red team. They earned it.

I think that was the only free one for the day. It showed as 'Free' on the College Sports Live site and the rest of the games have a "Sign Up" link next to them.

There are some other Free games on the site but UC's first game isn't one of them.

CBS is by far the worst of the major networks. I already pay for their ****** programming on my satellite bill, then they want me to pay to watch their games online when ESPN, Fox, and NBC all let me watch their games online included with my subscription? **** CBS and **** this small-time tournament.

Just took a quick look at one of the Iowa discussion boards after their loss. A number of comments about being bummed about not playing Cincy and getting a real test against a top 10-15 team. Lots of respect there for our 'Cats.

There are some decent teams in this tournament but there really would be no excuse for not bringing home this trophy.

I like the mentality, we'll see if they mean it in a couple hours.

Winless Richmond up 13 early on UAB.

I gotta find me the Kenpom drinking game rules.

It looks like nobody is shooting from beyond the arc well today, as far as the Cayman Island Classic is concerned.

Didn't I just see pictures of the team lying on the beach this morning?

Watching UAB play, I've seen multiple shots rattle in and out. I'm wondering if it isn't partly the quality of the gym/rims.
Course, could just be kids distracted by their surroundings, I just find it unusual that every single game has bad three point shooting thus far.
Hope we take it strong to the hole.

Is there any way to watch this damn tournament without signing up for this pay service?

Not sure about our game but... http://firstrows.xyz/basketball/xft-rich...1195617148

Some amateurish production value, but better than nothing.
