A new year of basketball: Dec. 30-Jan. 6

For the second year in a row the Broncos will go down in Laramie. BSU has been a bit of a disappointment to me.
 
Ha it sounds so professional when the "color analyst" is clapping through the mic.

Wyoming wins 73-68 and moves to 3-0 in MW. Boise State played a miserable 4th quarter and Wyoming hit key shots down the stretch. McGwire led BSU with 18 points and 9 rebounds but couldn't hit anything late.

Boise State, Middle Tennessee and Rice have fallen way short of the hype this year (although MTSU did get a win over TCU last weekend).

I cut MTSU a little slack because three of the players I thought would be major contributors (Eternati Willock, Rellah Boothe, and Ra’Shika White) haven’t played this season due to transfer or injury, but agree.

Rice has been really disappointing given what they returned and how they performed last year, and a solid Boise State returned a lot and added McGwire, so I thought they’d be better too.
 
Not sure if it counts as an exhibition... but My Tornadoes of Brevard College are battling with the Terriers of Wofford. Wofford leads 57-27 in the 3rd. Interesting that the Southern conference hasnt started full fledged conference games yet. Furman takes on Division II Newberry today. UNC-G battles DII Concord College Saturday after playing DII Lenior Rhyne Yesterday.

McGwire looks a lot thinner than I remember from her Oregon days.

Yes. She lost the weight during her redshirt season last year in Boise. Very happy for her. She obviously made a major commitment to her conditioning after leaving Oregon.
 
After underwhelming in multiple games since their upset of Oregon, Louisville is demolishing Clemson on the road, up 50-22 at the half.

Miami is up 32-20 at Georgia Tech. This would be the Hurricanes' best win of the season so far.
 
Georgia Tech has stormed back to take the lead on Miami in 4Q, on an 18-3 run to take a 4-point lead.
 
What's going on with Quinnipiac? They just lost to a terrible Iona -- I'm mildly surprised by this. It seems the MAAC goes through Poughkeepsie this year.
 
Miami about to fall to Georgia Tech in the mighty ACC down by 5 with 17 seconds left.

Marist is definitely top dog in the MAAC this year.

Quinnipiac was decimated by graduation, lost their top 4 scorers from last year's team -- which itself was a step down from the team they'd been the two years prior.

Georgia Tech scored only 31 points through 3 quarters, and then exploded for a 30-12 fourth quarter for the win.

Miami is still without anything resembling a quality win -- and somehow are still ranked in the AP poll.
 
Incarnate Word gets their first win over a D1 team this year, when this 3-pointer by Nicholls circles the rim, hovers for a moment, and then falls out:

 
Vanderbilt taking Auburn to the woodshed, up 47-18 at the half.

LSU up 34-32 at halftime over Alabama.

Georgia slogs through a closer-than-expected win over Ole Miss, 58-51. Not a game I'm sad to have missed.

I'm really enjoying tonight's studio commentary work by Alana Beard on the ACC Network.
 
LSU defeats Alabama. LSU's trio were the stars again (Pointer, Mitchell, Aifuwa)

Solid opening start to conference play
 
Gonzaga gets a bit of revenge after losing to BYU 3 times last year--55-43 in Provo. BYU's offense is busted. They scored 34 against Oregon St. a couple weeks ago.

BYU cut the lead to 1 in mid-3Q but then were outscored 21-10 over the last 5 minutes.

I didn't watch it, I saw that GU was up 14 at half. BYU went on a big run, then GU answered w/ a big run of their own.

Villanova currently leads Seton Hall 51-46 midway through 4Q. Nova looking improved over their November and December form.

Streaming on YouTube:
 
One interesting thing about Villanova is that they're led in scoring by redshirt freshman Madison Siegrist, who's averaging more than 20 ppg. Only Dyaisha Fair of Buffalo is scoring more as a freshman.

Siegrist has won 5 out of the 8 Big East Freshman of the Week awards so far. (St. John's Leilani Correa has won the other 3.)
 
Villanova wins 61-55. Villanova had just enough 3 pt shooting (10-30) and enough discipline on offense to hold off Seton Hall which could not replicate the strong 3pt shooting they exhibited against us (5-27) and tried to rely on their speed and physicality.
 
DePaul at Providence on FS2, the visitors up at the half, 37-31.
 
DePaul up 15, 51-36, at 3rd quarter media TO. Lots of Friar turnovers and only a couple of shots in the 3rd so far.
 
End of 3rd quarter, Blue Demons up 59-45. Turned into a foul fest.
