2021-22 College Basketball Thread

[GeorgiaModerate]

Earlier this evening at the ESPN events invitational, Iona shocked #10 Alabama 72-68.

It won’t be long before Rick Pitino is back at a high-major school.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Kansas and Dayton are in a barnburner on ESPN.  Dayton leads 63-61 with 8+ minutes left.

....and Kansas (ranked #4) loses at home on a miracle bounce of a last-second shot to a team that was 2-3 coming in, with losses to Lipscomb, Austin Peay, and UMass-Lowell.  I love college basketball.

[NewYorkExpress]

Great game going between Gonzaga and Duke.

With just under two minutes to go, Duke leads 75-73.

Terrific game by Duke.  I expect them to be ranked #1 this week, followed by Purdue.

WEEKS 2 & 3 RESULTS

Pessimistic Antineutrino and I tied for first at 17-9, two games ahead of Illiniwek.  Full results:

17 GeorgiaModerate, Pessimistic Antineutrino
15 Illiniwek
14 NY Express
12 JGibson

With so few players, most games are either unanimous or have one dissenter, so I'm not going to list those unless we start getting more players.

Year to date (43 games):

31 GeorgiaModerate   
29 Pessimistic Antineutrino   
26 Illiniwek   
25 NY Express

Is the Pac 12 that bad in non-conference games? Will Oregon lose to Montana and/or UC Riverside?

[GeorgiaModerate]

Is the Pac 12 that bad in non-conference games? Will Oregon lose to Montana and/or UC Riverside?

The lower half (or two-thirds) of the conference has been pretty dire in OOC games this year.  That said, Oregon should beat both of those teams, especially Montana.

Nope.  West Coast night games are too late for me to watch.  I need my sleep.

I could if necessary, but generally if there's a non-TV game that I want to watch that's on SECN+ it's also on ESPN+, and I'll watch it on the latter just because I'm used to it.
