I've been one of groce's biggest backers but this is unacceptable. If the season continues like this then he needs to go.

Mizzou bball is 2-0! Best of all this not very highly touted class looks sooo good. Not even an NIT team but much much improved.

SIU 2-0! Hinson GOAT!

So everyone here agrees the Champions Classic sucks right

A roster reset couldn't have come at a better time. KBD starting to look like a five star.

Nah. Would be cool if they rotated different teams in and out though cuz I don't see MSU belonging in it.

Mizzou lost. Dream is dead. Team is still 1000x more watchable than last year, though, again it is the freshman +wes clark that are the stars.

I'd watch it if they played it in December. I'm still in football mode and not ready to watch basketball in November.

Why not? They are about to get even better than their consistent excellent performance with the influx of talent he has.

UCONN is going to finish the year in the top 10. They are very underrated right now.

Kansas is the one who needs to go since they can't win in it. But yeah please mix up the teams. Get UNC, Louisville someone.

Duke is the top program in the ACC

Kentucky is the top program in the SEC

MSU is the top program in the Big Ten

Kansas is the top program in the Big 12

 

Maybe you could argue rotating Arizona or UCONN in as top programs in the PAC-12 and American, but really you've got the four that are going to get you the biggest draw.

 

UNC or Louisville aren't going to get in because they aren't going to want to create intra-conference matchups.

They don't need to create intra-conference matchups. Just don't have those teams play.

Bingo.

Eh I wouldn't say that. Louisville and UNC could easily draw as well as 3 of those teams. Kentucky is of course on another level. MSU had BY FAR the least amount of fans at the stadium yesterday, which was weird since they are closest. They were really hard to find.

MSU fans are still in football mode, fans of the other three schools don't even know they have football teams.

North Carolina wouldn't sign up the first time because the coach didn't want to play Kansas. It should be Duke, Kansas, UNC and Kentucky.

Or another one could be Indiana, UCLA, Duke and Kentucky. But UCLA is too volatile; some years they plain suck. And Indiana has had years of crap since Kelvin. You are pretty sure, Duke, KU, MSU and Kentucky are at least going to be top 15 every year so it's a good field.

Yep. The bball fans arent going to show up for another month or so.

This Illinois team is ... not good.

Black and Thorne were in foul trouble like the whole first half. I'm surprised the deficit is only 2.

Who told the ncaa it'd be a good idea to give the refs more power and call more fouls? Just an awful awful idea making for garbage games everywhere that aren't fun to watch.

Yeah this is brutal.

 

 

Jalen Coleman-Lands is an absolute stud.

Thorne can't buy a bucket

Oh Finke!
