NCAA Basketball 2017-18

[GoMuskies]

There were a couple of games that started earlier, but I guess the NCAA season is fully underway now that UC and Savannah State have tipped at NKU.

[usfldan]

Someone forgot to tell IU (down by 23 to Indiana State in Archie's debut) and UK (down by 9 to Brandon Randolph and Utah Valley).

[GIMMFD]

Indiana gets destroyed, Dayton loses. Not a bad opening day.

Kentucky/UVM was a great game yesterday. Just wish UVM could have had one more shot go down in regulation.

[paulxu]

What a great change from the A10 days. Dayton guys are bitching they can't get the A10 stream to work right, and we're going to watch tonight's game on a national network, FS1.

There was a Xavier-Wisconsin promo during the Cowboys-Falcons game yesterday, too.

[Masterofreality]

Why is Richmond playing a home game vs Jacksonville State on a Monday at noon?

By the way, I’m watching.....and Richmond really sucks. 45-27 Jax State late in the first half.

PS: The A10 really sucks too.

[X-band '01]

No wonder Georgetown wanted to play at Richmond instead of the PK80 Tournament.

[GoMuskies]

Richmond hung strong and only lost by about 30. Nice effort.

Chris Mooney should have run for the hills about, oh, six years ago. I bet he had some good offers then, too.

Annnd Duke takes down Sparty 88-81, without Bagley for majority of the game. They're going to be tough this year.

Duke and MSU looked really good, Kansas and Kentucky was pretty ugly. I could see Xavier beating either of KU and UK, but Duke and MSU look to be on another level, especially with size and athleticism.

And the St. Bonaventure home game tonight was cancelled due to a power outage at the on campus arena. Seems very A10 appropriate.

I didn't see the game but if it's the uniforms I'm thinking of, I think they're an ode to Native Americans. A couple other schools do this, I think Oklahoma State is one as well.

Is there anywhere you can customize a scoreboard so that it will show all of Xavier's opponents if they are playing that day?

Yes, you can use one of the apps like yahoo sports and just add all of Xavier's opponents to your favorites. It will show them all on your daily scoreboard. Doesn't have to be on an app. You can log in to a site and customize your favorites there too.

UD is getting run by Old Dominion on a neutral court. Breaks my heart.

Can’t implode my memory of the feeling after we beat Texas to get to our first Elite 8. Sat there with my old classmate and we both cried tears of joy after it was over.

Me neither. That was a magical night, with the Dome filled with Duke and X fans. Of course that was followed by the referee orchestrated screw-job in the Duke game denying us the Final Four. And MOR, I agree with you for once...Atlanta does suck it bigtime.

That year (Dick Campbell?) was a little bit before my time, but I did watch NKU beat XU, at home, in overtime at the buzzer in 1978 or so. Tay Baker's last year.

And I'm not sure if this is true, but supposedly the guy who made the winning shot (Hoffmeyer from Elder) chose NKU over XU.

Well you see the high school gym they're playing at is because they haven't built the actual high school yet, just the gym lol. So that explains why the locker rooms are trash as well as other things. As for the production crew that's on the tournament committee. I was thinking about attending the championship game tomorrow, I saw some sUCks fans out at the bar and gave them a "Lets Go X" and we got to talking, they said that UC was staying at the Marriott, so they're accommodations for stay are just fine, and they said the games were fine in person. They sell beer in that high school gym, but yeah wouldn't be paying $10 to watch this shit show of a stream.

[X-Men]

Was really hoping Wisconsin would've pulled that one out against UCLA for our SOS. They almost had it.

[sirthought]

I watched the stream (but didn't spend a dime) and while the blogger's complaints are legit, it didn't occur to me to find it annoying while watching, because in my mind most of these early season tournaments are just money grabs by the promoters, decent experiences for the teams, but never a well produced affair for the fans.

That Champions Classic is an obvious exception.

Went to a barn burner tonight. Georgia Tech at Wofford.
Wofford down 10 in second half, come back and it's tied at 60.
With 1.9 seconds, kid named Magee hit a 3 pointer from the same place as Crawford in the KState game.
Tech guy was 3 feet away, waiting for Magee to come closer. He just threw it up. Amazing.
He had 36 of Wofford's 63 points.

Have yet to find out what happened to Lionel Chalmers. Hired by Wofford on Sept 5th.
Big splash in local paper. Now...crickets. He's gone somewhere, but I can't get the story.

Giant upset

Let’s go Ramblers!!!! #Jesuit

My oldest daughter's Loyola Ramblers won their biggest game in probably 30 years last night beating Florida AT Florida. Definitely the biggest win since Porter Moser became the coach and since Loyola improved their situation by joining the Missouri Valley.

I'm really cheering for Loyola. It's been 32 years since they made an NCAA- longer than Xavier's drought between 1961 and 1983. DePaul won't play them anymore since Loyola beat them a few years ago. Too bad. That could be a huge rivalry game if they decided to build it again.

Oh, did I mention that Loyola Chicago has won a National Basketball Championship more recently than Clifton Community College? Just sayin' ............

PS: I hope Florida is totally pissed that they lost last night and they take it out on some helpless, hapless and clueless BoreCats and their troll, jaundiced Leprechaun coach.

Since there was not inbounds possession the restricted area was not an issue. But clearly the player was not set. The left foot may or may not have been on the out of bounds line (illegal screen). Also a screener should not be spread eags when setting a screen. Shoulder width feet is legal. Also I hate Steve Stricker.

I don't think we need teams to do well to build a good resume, the Big East will speak for it's self, as long as we keep trudging along and winning games, they can't discredit that. All that leads up to me saying, screw Wisconsin, they suck, and I hope they lose a lot of games.

We took our first shot at this before the season. Now, with the benefit of a full nonconference slate, it's time for a few adjustments. Translation: It's time to pay more respect to Texas A&M, Arizona State and North Carolina.

Sort of from left field but with how many 3's Marquette put up last night I was curious about how many they average a game as a team compared to the rest of D1. Stats say they've attempted (385) which is good for 13th most thus far. What I saw that blew my mind is leading the country in attempts from deep is Savannah St. who've taken (563) so far this season!! 2nd in attempts is South Carolina Upstate with (453). For reference, we are at (282) this year.

Useless knowledge I guess and Savannah St. is really bad and hitting under 30% of those. It just sort of blew my mind that a team exists that shoots the three that much or a coach that allows it.
