Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. A one day reprieve from college basketball makes me excited for today's slate that starts very early.
11 AM:
Gonzaga/Auburn didn't sound like a cakewalk entering the season, but with Cooper still ruled ineligible, this should be an easy win for Gonzaga. Having missed yesterday's game, I'm excited to get a glimpse of Jalen Suggs play and having Andrew Nembhard join earlier last week has been a coup. Virginia/San Francisco is another solid matchup although Virginia should dominate. Like Gonzaga, Virginia got a surprise waiver last week when Rice's Trey Murphy was added to the squad scoring 21 points with six threes. Huge get for Virginia with their offensive woes last year.
12 PM:
Xavier/Toledo. Steele is putting together a solid collection of mid-majors to play against and it continues today against Toledo with Marreon Jackson one of the most exciting guards in the MAC.
1:30 PM: Western Kentucky/West Virginia is one of the best games, if not the best game of the day. After a slow start, Charles Bassey had an insane game yesterday. At 1, Ohio/Illinois could be fun as Ohio's Jason Preston is one of the more talented do-everything guards in the nation.
3 PM: Boise State/Houston is my other candidate as the best game of the day. If you haven't watched Derrick Alston yet he's a blast: a bean pole point-forward. Boise State could be the best team in the MWC. UCLA/Pepperdine is another good one: Pepperdine's Colbey Ross is a gamer and Pepperdine has the talent to be the 2nd best team in the WCC. UCLA has already lost to San Diego State.
4 PM: Very excited for Seton Hall/Louisville. I like Chris Mack, but I really enjoy hating Louisville basketball and looking forward to and hoping for Bryce Aiken to develop as Seton Hall's lead guard. Utah State/Northern Iowa is another interesting game, however Utah State has had a rough 0-2 start to the season.
7 PM: A very underrated mid-major game between UNC-Greensboro and Little Rock. Both teams could finish the season as the best teams in their respective conferences. UT-Arlington/Louisiana Tech and UC Irvine/San Diego State are other very good mid-major tilts. South Dakota State/Saint Mary's another decent game on at 6:30.
8 PM: UConn/Hartford. While CCSU is a guard-heavy team, I'm curious to see how UConn adjusts to playing to a team with two of their better players 6'9-6'10: 6'9 stretch forward Hunter Marks and 6'10 post forward Miroslav Stafl.
Good opportunity to experiment with lineups that would be tested against the likes of Marquette (Garcia/John) and Providence (Watson/Horchler/etc): two Big East teams with similar profiles amongst their forwards.
Kansas State/Colorado another solid game and it starts at 8:30. VCU/Memphis at 9: VCU one of the easier teams to root for in the NCAA.
Enjoy!
