Very glad basketball season is here.

Rutgers lost to Kennesaw State. Good win for Antoine Pettway. We also play Rutgers in Las Vegas.

Did anyone see Memphis beat UConn????

I kept watching the updates on the ESPN App. I did not see it go final, but kept waiting for UConn to go on a run.

I watched the end of it Memphis has a couple of really good big men and Hunter is very talented. Don't care for both teams.

I loathe Penny, but he's done a much better job than I anticipated. Really thought he would be Avery 2.0, but he's proven to be much better.

Unfortunately auburn just came back from a 49-33 deficit and leads by four over Iowa State.

Auburn’s legit this year, even better than last year I’m afraid.

Better than us unfortunately

Better than us unfortunately

Maybe right now but by SEC play that could change..

 

[TerryP]

UCONN...interesting.

Could change. Pearl's teams are always very prepared and look elite in November + December. Complete opposite of Oats' teams who usually hit their stride in late January-March.

Not going to lie though, this auburn squad looks much different and very tough.

UConn just lost to Colorado holy shit

 

[Bammerboy321]

Aggies are up 58-57 against Oregon in the Players Tournament.

Auburn is the quintessential poster child for fast starts in early season. They usually start hot and then stay hot through November. As soon as league play starts up though, they start to wilt and by the end of the season they're usually playing their worst ball.

That indicates to me that Pearl struggles to adjust once people figure out his system. Unless he has a massive star talent he usually can't get over the hump. I'd look for them to be in the tournament no matter what but I wouldn't be surprised to see them struggling going into January

Looks like Kansas just beat Duke. Rylan Griffen had some impressive shots down the stretch.

About to watch Rutgers-Notre Dame. It's only 2:30 PM where I am, so luckily get to soak in some more basketball.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Switching it up to hate watch UNC-auburn

 

[Bammerboy321]

Broome hitting 3s is scary. This auburn squad is terrifying.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

CBM for auburn is such an attention whore.

 

[Bammerboy321]

And now auburn is going to run away with this. Switching it back to Rutgers-ND. No point in watching a blowout. UNC plays awful D and looks like they have no fluidity on offense.
