[Hitman Hart]

Wake Forest looks like dogshit right now. Manning needs to tell them to stop settling for jumpers. Absolutely horrible.

Really? Didn't they win against Rutgers last night?

 

[TDs3nOut]

Anyone have any thoughts on any of these seven teams this year: Murray State, Rhode Island, LSU, NC Central, Eastern Illinois, Grand Canyon, Nichols State? They are the teams remaining on Houston's OOC schedule, so I'm curious whether any of them are supposed be good.

 

[The Q]

Rhody would've been a good win, but they lost their best player (EC Matthews) for the year, so the quality of that win is unknown yet.

LSU appeared to be a good team, but it looks like they're more Ben Simmons and the anchors right now.

 

[Hitman Hart]

Really? Didn't they win against Rutgers last night?

They did, but that wasn't a reflection of their play. They were very mediocre last night. I'm going to assume/hope it had something to do with jet lag. Going from Hawaii to North Carolina to New Jersey in a four day span is not ideal.

 

[Texas Jefe]

Texas beats UTA in OT 80-73. UTA is a pretty good team, beat tOSU and Memphis this year. Texas is starting to find themselves in this new system, and the three FR are playing well. Look at this slam by Kerwin Roach!

And he's only 6'4". Wow.

[Hitman Hart]

I want UCLA to win, but Alford pushes off more than any other college player I've watched in recent memory. He does have a pretty nice offensive game though.

I haven't hated a college basketball player as much since Steve Wocjioscjoidshoshdhowski played for Duke. Bryce Alford is the devil
