Kansas State 83, #21 Dayton 75Dayton falls for the second straight game, in a slightly disappointing end to a preseason tournament that started so nicely with that win over Georgia Tech. This was a fairly even game the entire way, and in the end the difference was Kansas State'...
Oklahoma, Siena Stumble

VCU 82, #17 Oklahoma 69It's amazing to me how VCU keeps hiring young coaches, keeps losing those young coaches to bigger schools, keeps hiring new young coaches, and yet continues to roll. They have another new coach this year, and he handed a rude "welcome back" to one...

Big Win For Vanderbilt That Nobody Knows About

Vanderbilt 72, Saint Mary's 70Vanderbilt entered this season under the radar. They are possibly a Top 25 team, yet they are overshadowed in their own conference by the John Calipari traveling circus at Kentucky, Tennessee's 60 point victories over cupcakes, and even the Renardo...

#24 Syracuse 87, #4 North Carolina 71Roy Williams has been telling anybody who will listen that his team isn't ready for that #4 ranking, that they're too young and inexperienced, and boy did he look right tonight. While the team showed flashes of top talent, at times they...
Syracuse, North Carolina Ready To Match Up

#24 Syracuse 95, #12 California 73A very nice early win for a Syracuse team that has looked very athletic and tough inside. This night wasn't likely to go well for Cal, with Theo Robertson out, and because they just match up horribly with big teams. Cal has absolutely no size,...
Dayton Proves They Belong

#21 Dayton 63, #19 Georgia Tech 59Most people thought Dayton would be good this season. They were picked to win the Atlantic 10 by most, including myself, and they were put into the Top 25. But you never know until a team gets on the court, and so far in this young season it does seem...

#1 Kansas 57, Memphis 55Elliot Williams has already proved how important it was that Memphis was able to get him, and to get him playing this season. He's already the best player on the team, and took them on his shoulders and nearly carried them to victory over the #1 team in...
UCLA Is Struggling

Cal State Fullerton 68, UCLA 65, 2OTI watched a lot of this game and, honestly, it didn't feel like much of an upset. A couple of weeks ago I talked about how this UCLA team might be a bubble team, and you could see in this game how much the lack of experienced players, and the...
Kentucky Escapes Miami (Ohio)

#5 Kentucky 72, Miami (Ohio) 70Too much ink will probably be spilled talking about how much Kentucky struggled to beat a lowly MAC team, but I wouldn't try to draw too many conclusions from this. Teams often get out to slow starts under new coaches as they try to learn a new system...
More Problems For Oregon State, Iowa

Texas Tech 64, Oregon State 60Oregon State loses yet again. Texas Tech isn't as bad of a loss as Texas A&M CC, but it's not a good loss either. Texas Tech is a serious contender to finish in last place in the Big 12, and in my opinion is unlikely to make a run at any kind...

Here we go, the first in-season BP65. And yes, we're only 17 weeks from Selection Sunday. There haven't been a whole lot of results yet, but we were still able to get a decent glance at a whole lot of teams competing for at-large bids:1. KANSAS (BIG 12)1. KENTUCKY (SEC)1. PURDUE...

#22 Dayton 90, Creighton 80Dayton has been a bit hyped to start this season, as the #22 ranking suggests. But this impressive win over a quality Creighton team on day one suggests that they might just live up to the hype. They are just an impressively deep team as far as Atlantic Ten...

#13 Washington 74, Wright State 69I know that some people will look at this score and view it as a disappointment for the Huskies, but I watched about half of this game and was encouraged, and still feel good about picking them to win the Pac-10 this year. First of all, Wright State...

Just a little summary of what will be posted the rest of the evening. I have one more posts to do recapping games from yesterday. I'll have at least one other post tonight recapping today's games. Then, the first in-season BP65 (the W-17 BP65) will be out, at some point after...
Mississippi State The First Ranked Team To Lose

Rider 88, #19 Mississippi State 74The first upset of a ranked team isn't a huge upset, although the large margin of victory might be something of a surprise. For one thing, Mississippi State was only considered a Top 25 team because of star recruit Renardo Sidney, yet he is still...

Today was a big day for recruit signing. The biggest prize was Harrison Barnes, the 6'8" player with guard talent, rated by many to be the top recruit in the nation. The biggest winner of the day was North Carolina. No surprise then that Barnes was one of the UNC signings...

The injury bug has now hit Duke, with Mason Plumlee breaking his wrist. This will probably not have a big impact on their full season because I'd expect him back before ACC games begin. But that said, this highlights a big problem for this year's Duke team: they're very...

Arkansas is having behavior problems, and John Pelphrey has responded by suspending five players, including stars Courtney Fortson and Stefan Welsh. I don't really care to get into the reasons for the suspensions, because this is not a gossip site, and you can get the uncensored...

Really bad news for Northwestern as Kevin Coble went down with a vague "left foot" injury yesterday. They're saying that the best case scenario is he's out for a couple of weeks. Worst case scenario is that he's gone for the season.Northwestern has never made...

#4 North Carolina 88, Florida International 72The final score suggests that this game was closer than it really was. There was never any doubt that North Carolina was the far superior team. But that said, I see some real problems with this North Carolina team that have to be fixed...

Other than that one NC State game and the Coaches vs Cancer tournament, the regular season for everybody else begins on Friday the 13th of November. Six of the top ten teams in the nation will be in action, although none of them should be very tested. In all there will be 126 games...

After a few good games on Monday, November 9th, there actually isn't very much for the next few days. There are no games at all on Tuesday the 10th, and the 11th won't have much. North Carolina, Syracuse and Cal will all play another game, but against lesser opponents than...
