Other hoops games -- week one

[Buffnik]

North Carolina looking like a legit #1, destroying Temple in its opener.

Tennessee and UNC-Ashville tied at 72 with less than 2 minutes left. Would be a huge early RPI hit for the SEC. Especially with Georgia only up 3 at home late in the half vs Colgate.

Gonzaga and Pitt in a great game on ESPN. Pitt up 2 at the half. Josh Perkins 1/4 for 2 points in his return.

In Pac-12 action:

ASU has dominated the 2nd half after being down 6 at the break to Sacramento State. Up 8 with 11 minutes left.

USC is destroying San Diego.

Wazzu is killing N Arizona early.

Looking forward to Washington vs Texas later. I expect the Huskies to get killed, but you never know.

ASU blew it. Suck it Devils.

Washington wins

I'm not even a little sad asu lost. Conference rpi be damned!

 

[Jello Bear]

NC State got mudholed at home by W&M. My Wolfpack friends are freaking pissed.

I can't believe Wisconsin lost to Western Illinois. I mean, I expected a big step back and wouldn't have ranked them to start the season... but come on, man!

 

[Buffnik]

Auburn held on by 1pt at home against UAB.

Buffs can and should win that road game.

 

[Buffnik]

Wow. Also just noticed that Illinois got worked by North Florida. Is that even a D1 team?

The Goats win @ Northern Iowa.
Gotta give it up for Eustachy, he is a hell of a coach.

Sounds about right for a Steve Alford major conference venture. I hope the fanbase gets distracted by something else and lets him hang around a few more years.

Missed that one. Beautiful! Alford is Neuheisel-level tool...

 

[Goose]

Not an Alford fan at all, but two S16's at UCLA say he's doing something right at least.

24 hour tipoff starts tonight. Georgetown @ Maryland, SD State at Utah, Baylor at Oregon are all tonight. Tomorrow we get Duke - Kentucky and Kansas - Michigan State to finish things up. I'm not going to lie, hoping for a serious blizzard tonight so I can just stay home tomorrow.
