Nothing personal, sjoyce, but I really hope you're not as good at picking basketball as football. Wink

Yikes, Illinois.  I’m hoping this is a blessing-in-disguise wake up call before heading out west.  Effort like that at Grand Canyon (I’ve read that place is a very intense gym), and we lose!

What a debut performance by Cole Anthony!

On the other end of the spectrum, the UVA-Syracuse game is painful to watch so far. 

EDIT: Under 10 minutes to go in the first half, UVA leads 10-2.  Yes, Syracuse has two points in ten minutes.  Time to turn it off.

The pressure will be very much on, Thomas.

If anyone still wants to make picks, just a reminder that the first game (Auburn-Davidson) starts in an hour.

Auburn beat Davidson 76-66.  Memphis up by 40 (not a typo) early second half.  LSU trailing Bowling Green mid first half.

Northwestern lost by 10 at home to Merrimack College, which is in its first D1 season and lost by 20 to Maine in their previous game.

Switching my Sunday picks to Florida, Wake and Arizona after some very basic re evaluation. Shameful selections!

Most exciting thing about this time of the season is that you learn about schools that you never knew existed.

Also, did you see Utah beat Mississippi Valley State 143-49?  that's just cold.

Miss. Valley State also lost today to Central Michigan 134-78.  I think we can safely say they're a bad team. Wink

You’ll see!

Nevermind ... lol.  I actually still feel good about Illinois.  I think Arizona could be a top ten team by the time their freshman studs continue to develop.  On to the next one!
