My ongoing College Basketball thread

[Dolgevillefootballfan]

Hey, it's me, Dolgevillefootballfan. You may remember me from such classic threads as "College Football previews 2014", and the Notre Dame vs. Florida State game thread that turned out to not be a game thread at all.

Starting today, I will present special information about the upcoming college basketball season. Now we all know that it's been nearly impossible to predict CBB teams in preseason ever since Carmelo Anthony went Syracuse for only 1 year... and won an national title in that short time. So I'm not even going to try to do so.

No, instead my contributions to this thread will be the things you REALLY want to know: Game times, tournament schedules, and most importantly the regular-season games that actually MEAN SOMETHING.
All of which will be coming up... soon.

Why the UofL/Minn game? Is it a father and son thing? Cause I see the Gophers being run out of the gym.

Me personally think the morehead @ UNLV to be more interested. Getting morehead in vegas....just sounds right to me.

I actually think Minnesota wins that one J. Gopehers return a lot and Louisville is supremely talented but almost an entirely new product. If this game was in January I probably take Loiuisville but this early?? I not only think Minnesota wins but I think they do so quite comfortably. UM by 8+

I was really confident about this game but the ISU scrimmage has me hesitant(yes its just a scrimmage). The cyclones worked the gophs on Sunday. However both teams didn't play full rosters and at least Morris looked awesome for the gophs to add to the back court. Little dre tried to do too much.

Gophs def have the returning experience and will be amped for the game. They could beat UL. They are also known for playing well early in the year against good teams...February not so much.

Can I randomly post in here about how Kelvin Sampson is going to restore UH hoops to the prominence of which it's worthy?

 

[TDs3nOut]

^ rhetorical question, of course!

Thanks in advance!

Going to be an interesting season for sure, looking forward to seeing what teams do well early.
