YoloinOhio Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Welcome, College b-ball season! Starts tonight. I know there are a lot of Cuse fans here. I follow OSU and Dayton. I also follow UB a bit. I do watch every Buckeye regular season game even though they haven’t been good in years (new coach this year came over from Butler, but still “rebuilding”). Many people don’t bother with the regular season and only tune in March. Anyone else excited? Edited November 10, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I tune in for the November tournies and pay some attention during the regular season and a lot during March Madness. And anything that has Bill Walton on the air, I think he's calling the UCLA game from China this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very young team. A lot of talented but very raw guards/small forwards. Not much size. They will struggle mightily in ACC play. Next year will be much better.

Every year we list all of the games up for sale. The games we want to go to we list at crazy prices. Yesterday 3 games sold!. Cornell, Virginia, and BC?! Glad they sold now because I have a feeling it's going to get ugly this year. Apparently the start of the season hype has some people eager. Should be an easy win tonight though for Cuse (hopefully).

Mark Vader Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I'm Michigan in football and Michigan in basketball. Not sure what to expect from them this year, although it'll be fun to see how Moritz Wagner continues to play. Could be another scrappy team that could get hot at the right time, just like last year. Although there are a lot of young players on the roster. Schedule is not easy with a possible game against Notre Dame in Maui, road trip to face North Carolina in the ACC/Big 10 Challenge, a home game against UCLA, and travelling to East Lansing for their only game against Michigan State. We'll see what John Beilein can get out of these guys. GO BLUE!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked better than I had anticipated. I really like Sidibe in the middle. Great recruiting job by GMac to reel him in. He's gonna be a good center for years to come. Battle is gonna be Battle. He's our best player by far, and it looks like he put on 20 pounds of muscle. I'm concerned about scoring, but I think we way be able to put something together between Howard, Brissett and Thorpe. Brissett seems to have tons of potential, and Thorpe can really take it to the hoop. The zone looked pretty darn good. Moved well for this stage in the season with a lot of new players. Not a bad start against a very mediocre Ivy League team. How bout Cal getting stomped and Pitt going down to Navy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorpe hopefully can shake his injuries. Howard is looking much better and Washington is very nice off the bench. Scoring does seem to be an issue, but looks like the defense will be really tough this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my, he looks like a 15 year old kid out there, but I think he is going to be very, very good for us. He just seems to be in the right place all the time. High basketball IQ kid. I think he will push Moyer for minutes off the bench in a hurry. I understand that he is a pretty solid shooter as well, but is reluctant to shoot much while he gets his feet wet. Give him a year in the strength and conditioning program and watch out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 So, my team was a 26.5 favorite, which I thought was a lot. We almost doubled that, which is why I’m glad I don’t gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two years ago they knocked us out with a fall away 3 from the corner at the buzzer in the second round. Last March I was in Orlando for the first 2 rounds (X was there) and met a couple dozen Wisconsin fans the first night. It’s was 2-3 generations of guys who picked a warm weather spot every year. They went for the Tourney, not just following Wisconsin. These guys were CRAZY! I bought a few of them a pitcher my first night there, then we became blood brothers! It was pure crazy! Then next weekend we happened to be in Denver/Vail for the win over Arizona. One of the best months of my life. I do LOVE my college hoops!
