Drake won 77-71. I stopped watching with about 9 minutes left as something came up and had to leave for awhile, and was surprised when I got back home to find that they came back to win. They had probs finishing at the rim and allowed NAU to knock down 3 consecutive 3's at one point in the 2nd half. Wowsers.

This AZ/FLA game is a big one, even on the first day of the season, but I'm still way more excited for tomorrow night and Iowa's opener.

Me too. Three games on BTN right now. Maryland in game #1, then Illini, and UCLA in game #3.

This Fla/Zona game is fun to watch even though Zona has short-armed a lot of chippies. Haugh for Fla has been out of his freaking mind.

I thought FM took the job at Penn, not Ohio St.

Ohio St scored 118 tonight, but gave up 101 (or 102) at home to IU-Indianapolis.

Yikes! Not even Franny's teams gave up 90+ to the likes of IUI!

Both teams are really sloppy with the ball.

Granted, its a bunch of top-tier athletes playing fast but so many turnovers and loose balls.

Brock Harding ended up with a not so happy opening day, 6 points on 2 of 11, 0 of 4 from 3, 6 assists and 5 steals in a 78-74 defeat at home against New Orleans. in 36 minutes Riley Mulvey ended up with 3 rebounds and zero points in a Siena win. Seydou Traore ended up scoring 23 points for Utah in a 84-76 win on 9 of 14 shooting and 5 of 8 from 3 28 min, with only 1 rebound, Pryce Sandford ended up with 3 points in 21 minutes for Nebraska's 86-53 win against Western Georgia, and finally Isaiah Johnson-Arigu with 6 minutes left in a game against St Mary's in 13 minutes he's 0 of 1 with St Thomas down 70-47.

I knew Traore was going to be one of, if not the biggest, losses from all the transfer outs this last April/May.

Ohio St. had over 50 ft attempts in their game against former IUPUI... yikes.

Other upsets:
Hawaii Pacific beat Bosie St.
New Orleans beat TCU (as noted)
Maryland Eastern Shore lost to GT in overtime but neither team scored 60.

Just watching highlights on BTN is a bit scary.
Mich is loaded.
Wis,MSU,UCLA,illini, and MD are packed with talent.
Ben Mac is in deep waters now...with killer sharks everywhere.

There's still enough food in the ocean that is the Big Ten for Iowa to feed on and make the NCAA tournament, HOPEFULLY! I'm going to trust Ben's coaching to win a few games that was almost impossible under our former coach, I guess we'll see how our mad scientist draws things up starting tonight, go Hawks.

Horrendous basketball by UT Martin to continue to foul 3 or 4 times within 10 seconds of each possession the were up by two possessions. Still won and beat UNLV.

Georgia would have been better off scrimmaging against themselves than playing the actual game they did.

94-29 vs UMES

UMES had halves of 17 & 12 pts scored.
