I feel like lousy three-point shooting has been the recipe for a Duke loss for the last 20 years.

Decker

Wow this Kansas - Dayton game is fun to watch so far.

Red Dog

Dayton Onions!!!

Decker

Wow what a game Rock Chalk Baby!

Hats off to Dayton. They are great!

Red Dog

Dayton had their chances in the final minute....should have jacked up the 3 on the earlier possession to force the big fella out earlier. Then couldn't convert the terrible KU in-bound pass. Ugh.

Meanwhile, UVA beat Maine 46-26. God...just take the Under in their games blindfolded. You'll make money. 116 is the high so far.

Decker

Yeah I was shocked they couldn't convert after that turnover under Dayton basket. Dodged a bullet there. Azubuke is such a mismatch for most teams. He could be dangerous if he stays healthy, stays out of foul trouble and begins to hit his FTs.

Bacon

I'm all for defense but that sort of basketball is unwatchable

Decker

While watching a game at the gym, I just saw Dick Vitale do an in-game remote from his hotel balcony and it looked awful, clearly not what they had planned. Is he sick or something.

Bacon

wow Michigan is 7-0 after beating Gonzaga
Not a Michigan fan but I really thought the Juwan Howard hire would blow up in their face

Obi-Wanma

I am a Michigan fan, and so did I. I like Juwan, but with no head coaching experience, I figured he was a big step down from Beilein. It's early of course, but I'm pleasantly surprised so far.

Red Dog

Looks like the books are adjusting. UVA/PUR total tonight is 101.5.

sven

Louisville gave a nice humbling Tuesday night. Now the real coaching begins for Juwan. Time to bound back and hammer the Hawkeyes.

Bacon

Have any of the Big Ten/ACC games been close? Good god

Red Dog

Doesn't seem like it, but I only paid close attention to MICH/LOU and ND/MD. I still really have no idea how good Maryland is. But the next 3 games should help with that - 3 top-50 KenPom opponents with 2 on the road. Still haven't played a road game.

Can't believe the UVA/PUR game went Over with UVA scoring 40.

Ugh, I'm going to Waco to watch the Arizona/Baylor game on Saturday but Nico Mannion (back) and Josh Green (strep throat) haven't practiced all week and aren't sure to play, and Stone Gettings is out with a concussion and facial fracture. Throw in a morning tip time and the fact that Baylor is literally giving away all the tickets and it's going to be a weird atmosphere and probably a loss. I'm hoping Oklahoma gets out to an early lead in the Big 12 CG to take the energy out of the crowd.

Decker

Enjoy the game. So it's at the same time as the Big XII Championship? That is weird.

WallyOPD

Yep the kick and tip times are the same, which I'm sure thrilled the Baylor folks. I'll be really curious what the attendance is like.

WallyOPD

Way more Arizona than Baylor fans here, although pretty sparse attendance overall. Going to be a weird vibe.

Perkinsun Dzees

It's still rather early in the season, but Ohio State looks scary good so far. Unless OSU gets upset by Wisconsin (a definite possibility), they might win titles in Football and Basketball this season.

well even with Georgetown losing two players earlier this week, we managed to win two away games ---- jeesh-louise

kefrank

Agree, I'm surprised at how dominant they've been against good competition. I thought they would be decent, but they've well surpassed my expectations so far. It's a long season though.

Red Dog

Maryland was so lucky to escape with a win over Illinois yesterday. Every game they start out so slowly.

I'm sure Baylor fans would trade the BB win for a FB win yesterday.

Decker

Kansas beat #20 Colorado like a drum in Lawrence yesterday. Felt like the old Big 8 days. Their size is going to give a lot of teams trouble this year.

That's the dumbest map I have ever seen. SDSU gets 20 times the acreage as tOSU and Louisville why exactly? Because all the other unbeatens are East of the Mississippi?
