Anyone watching the Austin Peay-Butler game? One armed AP dude with a poster dunk on Butler.

Saw the highlight on Sportscenter. Pretty damn inspiring.

Donovan Dent is a really good player and will be the biggest reason New Mexico is a threat all year if they build off last nights UCLA win. But wild state line

Was very Kam Jones like 8/13 from the field with 8 assists. But had NINE turnovers.

I think both teams in that game had over 20.

Huge game for Douchy and his boys vs the mighty Bluefield College

Reminiscent of the Hauser's when Markus was on a heater. #3 knows ball.

Louisville is not back quite yet..

Kelsey has promise as a coach and thta roster is much improved. But the immediate hype stalled at home against a program that is well established with a HOF coach.

Tennessee absolutely abusing them

Remember the rumors of a physical altercation in the locker, post JaMurray State?  How about Al, back in the day?

So Auburn's players got a letter from the Hausers on how to handle a chucker?

[tower912]

Nah, enjoy Auburn's problems.

Won't someone think of Bruce Pearl and the adversity he has overcome

Baylor vs Arkansas was  a solid game featuring two talented teams with big flaws especially for week 1.

Auburn vs Houston right now is an elite basketball game. I could not imagine playing either team right now

I don't think anyone here could imagine playing for either team, well maybe Ners

Eureka at Loyola Chicago, 1PM, ESPN+

I don't understand this new trend of D1 schools bringing in D3 schools for buy games these days. Eureka is poor, not only as a basketball program, but as a college. I guess they're cashing a check though.

I'd think plenty of schools in lower leagues would love to play Loyola.  I think Loyola is terrified losing to a St. Thomas is something they can't overcome in March and they're probably right.

And they want to be on the buying side of buy games and Eureka will come cheap. I get it.

Eureka did this twice last year v Eastern and Western Illinois.

Badgers rolling App State. That's a loss coming up
