#22 Kentucky loses to Gardner Webb last night 84-68. I think with the early start this year teams with new coaches and or teams that have to work in a lot of new players are going to be more upset prone early on.

UConn gets by MEAC bottom feeder Morgan State by 4 points

As the players milled around next to the cheerleaders and the band, coach Rick Scruggs was trying to talk over the cheers despite his hoarse voice.
"The enormity of it, it's still hitting me now," Scruggs said. "You always think about playing in Rupp, at North Carolina and those people."

K-State beats D II Pittsburgh St. 76-66. Bill Walker played his first game of the season and had 11 points. Mike Beasley had another double double with 30 and 12.

Cincy lost Bowling Green 69-67 at home. Looks like it might a long year for Mick Cronin.

Roberts is the best player in the A10 and Wright and Marcus Johnson are two of the best athletes in college hoops. Hope Gregory lets them run and gun some this season.

This years freshman class is beyond sick. Rose, Beasley, Love, Gordon are all off to great starts.
