Only interesting game really is Minnesota LouisVille. Pitino Jr playing his dad.

Good call. I wonder what the family dynamic will be like if Jr. pulls off the upset.

By the way, I briefly went to Middle School with Rick Jr. before his dad got canned as the coach of the Knicks. He was kind of a dick.

This is beyond sad. Even ASU would have more fans that that 30 minutes before tip.

Harvard is tied with MIT

and good god....I hope someone is pulling a prank at that ok state game.

Santa Barbara. That is all.

Lehigh giving Nova fits.

Michigan State only up 3 over Navy in the 2nd half.

Utah/Ball St. Looks like Millers coaching tree is becoming very productive. Ball St looks vastly improved this year in Whits second year

Loved the fight in Navy. A few poor decisions from pulling off a huge upset.

All 17 ucla fans are excited now.

Okie State, wow just sad

Wazzu went to El Paso and got beat by 13. Miners too big.

Saw some of the Zag's game. They scored easily. Wesley might be their best all-around player. Sabonis looks good. Pangos healthy. Should be an interesting game.

So Usc lost their season opener at home to Portland state tonight.

I watched some of it during the commercial breaks of the ASU game. The announcers kept making a big deal about USC having the #12 recruiting class in the nation. Yeah, that sure helped them.

JMac looked great for usc. Everyone else, not sure much

Dunk City on hold for another year?

For some reason, the coach seems to lack charisma/personality. Think he'll do well if he recruits well, but wonder if he's over his head in the Pac-12.

Kentucky down to Buffalo at the half 38-33.

Announcers were oddly positive about a team losing to a Big Sky team.

Not sure who all caught UCLA's opening night crowd:

always an excuse for UCLA fans...

The Wooden generation must be dying off.

scumdevils86 wrote:always an excuse for UCLA fans...

Exactly.

scumdevils86 wrote:always an excuse for UCLA fans...

No kidding.

Tip is too early: Traffic!
Tip is too late: Jammie time!

Good friend is a uCla alum and it has been weird how uninterested in bball he's been since Howland's last year.

CalStateTempe wrote:The Wooden generation must be dying off.

Nope. Bug's trolling harder than ever.

Heh!

Wsu lost by like 20 to tcu. Wsu, usc and osu are going to be huge rpi anchors this year. I don't know if they win 45 games combined.

Bethune Cookman is giving ASU a tough time in the second half.

Seeing this post made me look up the score on espn.

49-39.

talk about a barn burner

49-39....final score...

Interested in the Gonzaga-SMU game, as soon as they cut this dank Stanford game off.

Looks like there's about 1500 people at the Oregon basketball game. Every Pac 12 game I've watched so far besides ours are more than half empty.

Gonzaga has more than it share of Eastern European big men.

Looks like they had Wiltjer playing some 5 their bigs in foul trouble.

Florida lost to Miami 69-67. Fire Billy Donovan! Their offense is in trouble!

Gonzaga looks legit. Better than I thought, actually.

seems like they got big man after big man lol

This 11pm tip for Colorado is a joke. Does ESPN really think people will stay up and watch them play Auburn?

On a more amusing note, some Colorado fan threw something on the court, and they were warned if it happens again it's a technical. Though I do have to give their fans credit for mostly filling up the place.

It's their 24 hour tipoff marathon they do every year. Saint Mary's and new Mexico state play at 1 am. There will be games tipping off at 3 am and 5 am and 7 am

They should at least do something like that on the weekend. Monday night really isn't the best time.

This beats the majority of the late night tripe on cable TV.

It is a pretty good game, definitely more competitive than Gonzaga - SMU and not nearly as ugly as ASSU and Buffoon Cookman.

Yeah, it has turned into a pretty interesting game. If Auburn would just have some better shot selection they'd have the lead.

It was a good game until Auburn stopped competing and kept missing shots.

Yeah, it looks like the time change has taken it's toll. They haven't made a shot in nearly 10 minutes.

This St. Mary's - NMSU game is a bit of a dud. NMSU hasn't hit a basket in forever.

Teams can play in domes and on aircraft carriers, but what do even college basketball players have in the tank between 1 and 5 a.m.?

At Oregon they have enough to run a train on some poor passed-out coed.
