2017-2018 College Basketball Discussion (Official Thread)

Send Langford out to Columbus, and we'll call it good.

Kris Wilkes scores 14 in his first half of college basketball for UCLA. I know people probably get tired of me hyping the kids from Indiana, but I/this state love basketball and the talent here is special. Hoping Holtmann finds his way back over here to grab some good ones.

If he needs a scout/recruiter, I'll work pro bono to get them out of here.

He already got Jallow out of Indiana. Has recruited several other Indiana kids that went elsewhere (Phinisee to IU, Eric Hunter Jr to Purdue) but is starting to recruit some of their 2019 players, like Trayce Jackson-Davis.

Haha, I'm late on that one.



Be interesting with him and Garland both including Vandy...

Appalachian State 135
Toccoa Falls 34

Yes, there is a school called Toccoa Falls. Yes, they should stop trying to play basketball.

What. I looked this team up and their schedule is a mixture of D1, D2, and NAIA games

Perhaps they should play Savannah State. That would be a classic

Kentucky beating Vermont 69-63 with 4 minutes left. Coupled with the 10-point win against Utah Valley, and I'm going to to go out on a limb and say this year's crop isn't quite up to usual standards.

Such a young team it’s hard to say what they’ll be in March. And Vermont is a very good mid-major team with experience.

Not writing their obituary just yet.

So Pitt lost to Navy to open their season. What a fall from the Jamie Dixon days. Just a steep dive under Kevin Stallings. 16-17 last year and this year looks worse.

Add a loss to the Montana Griz. Panthers are so so bad.

Iowa State gets thumped 74-56 by UW-Milwaukee. Looks like they are taking a step back after a string of good years.

 

[ORD_Buckeye]

The juggalos look good. Like Sweet 16 good.

Fair warning.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Yeah a couple good ones tonight.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

ESPN need to lose this stupid camera angle. Terrible.

 

[buckeyemania11]

Bagley eating Sparty alive on the offensive glass. 5 O-Rebounds in the first 12+

Then gets poked in the eye good and has to leave the game.
