Illinois took a huge jump surprisingly, they haven't been anyone who's any good... Kentucky, NC State & UCLA all drop far, deservedly. @Uptown_Connex I told you they won't move Indiana out the top spot unless they lose.

Glad to see my Illini get some respecf....

 

[MeekMonizzLLLLLLe14]

i turned to espn to get ready for the uconn game coming on for game 2 and god damn at how empty msg is....same thing with a few other college games played there earlier this year they need to lower the prices for the showcase games at msg and get some better competition.

 

[SunflowaSeeds]

Won first bet of the day with Georgetown/UMASS Money Line Parlay.

Prolly gonna lose on Charleston +10

But also have Northwestern +10.5 & Uconn +5

Hopefully those both hit.

 

[Matt-]

damn kevin ollie just got a 1 year contract? well it guess thats 355 days more than his usual contracts

 

[SunflowaSeeds]

NC State looked a lot better at the end of that half :-/

Hopefully they fall asleep for a little while again.

 

[Co_Town_Michael]

My squad is playing hack-a-shaq with that tall white boy who is a 27% FT shooter.

Brought it back to a respectable game but these niggas need to capitalize now.

 

[Co_Town_Michael]

ANNNNNND Gary Franklin misses the lay-up that would've made it a 1 possession game with :45 to go.

I need a fucking drink.

These niggas man... I swear.

 

[KeepOnPushing]

that CJ Mccollum is the most impressive cat i seen as far as Draft prospect wise , that dude gonna be nice.

 

[one_manshow]

Illnois St messed up my parlay ticket got all my other 4 picks right...smh

Tim Hardway JR polished his game this season he still lacks a lot in his game but so far he has been playing great.

 

[S.jR.]

Thank you Gators for digging in the Seminoles ass. My brother gonna be shutting the fuck up for some time.

awesome idea. could get a little crazy, but CBB doesn't really have anything to kick off the season except for those lil tournaments. this would work if they brought in alot of top tier teams to play instead of just 1 good team against 1 bad team

only issue i see is them having to deal with the whistles.

What does college basketball have to start the season?

Nothing.

I like to think the season begins with the Maui tournament Thanksgiving week (roughly a week or 10 days after the first games are played), but this year’s tournament was full of blowouts and bad teams.

Bottom line: College basketball has a “soft” opening to the season, and it hurts the sport.

Which is why I’m fully on board for this gimmick of an idea the Michigan State AD has:

Next year on Veterans Day weekend, there will be four — count ‘em, four — games taking place simultaneously at Cowboys Stadium, site of the 2014 Final Four. The games will begin 15 minutes apart and be held side by side (by side by side) in the giant facility. The purpose is to simulate the madness that takes place during the first week of the NCAA tournament. Only instead of the games taking place in four different cities, they’ll be played in one town, under one roof

Bedlam? You bet. Too AAU? Certainly. Interesting as hell? Of course.

Get the games televised on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU & ESPN News simultaneously, and we’ll all wear out our remote.

 

[DetroitBoi313]

Good W for Michigan today. Trey Burke looking like the best PG in the country. Loving this team. Super deep and athletic.

 

[SunflowaSeeds]

Nothing too shocking today. Kansas & Duke with pretty impressive blowouts against pretty good teams though.

If Illinois wins this game vs. Gonzaga I would be very surprised though.

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Finally my Illini are getting some respect...Ranked 10 in the latest standings with 2 cupcake games this week

 

[G.Avant]

I think it's gonna be a while before the gators even lose a game. Potential NC this year.
