2019-2020 College Basketball Discussion (Official Thread)

UVA upset at home by South Carolina. Based on talent, the Cavaliers should miss the NCAA tournament this season. The only question is do they lose enough games to get what they deserve.

New Mexico St beat Mississippi St.

Probably not. Outside of Duke, Louisville and FSU the ACC is a collection of meh to bad. UVA probably has enough in the tank to beat most of that group more often than not.

Clemson goes down to Yale today as well

I was surprised to see Kenpom has the Big 12 as the #2 conference (behind the B1G), although as of now he is ranking the conferences based on quality of a team projected to go .500 in league play. I was just thinking the Big 12 doesn't have a lot of firepower this season - I guess what they have is a lot of decent teams, but lack a clear top team like they have had in the past.

Seth Towns might be done with college basketball. Probably could be a grad transfer next year if he wanted to, though.


apparently, due to the ivy league rules, towns has no choice but to transfer if he is to continue his college career. they get 4 years for 4 seasons of eligibility but may be granted a 5th only for medical or extenuating circumstances. in other words, a coach can't redshirt a player due to ability. since next year would have been towns' 5th year at harvard but only his 3rd playing season, he must become a grad transfer. no doubt plenty of good high-majors will be after him as long as the prognosis is to return somewhat close to 100%. pretty much a zero-risk player otherwise.
