    NCAA hoops: 2016-2017 edition

    Exhibition games are underway. If you can call them "games".

    Kentucky: 156
    Asbury: 63

    Not a typo.

    They may have had the equipment manager and towel boy playing as reserves. They had Smith retire due to an ACL injury (his third in 30 months), Comanche is out for academic reasons, and Trier is not suiting up for games for unknown reasons. I thought I read where they only had 7 scholarship players available for one exhibition game.

    Frank Jackson has been great for duke so far.

    I watched Oregon yesterday. They lost, but they are clearly good as expected. Athletic ballers all over the place. I think Dillon Brooks got a new tattoo on his chest.

    The Pac-12 so far:

    Arizona, 1 good win (MSU), no losses, Lousy Finn who should have been a Ute is tearing it up.
    CU, loss to Notre Dame
    Cal, loss to SDSU
    UW, loss to Yale
    ASU, losses to UNI and Davidson
    WSU, losses to Creighton, and Loyola (chicago)
    Oregon, losses to Baylor and Georgetown
    OSU, losses to Lamar and Nevada
    USC, a good win (@ Texas A&M)
    UCLA, nothing really
    Utah, nothing at all
    Stanford, wins vs Harvard and CSU (are those good wins?)

    So the conference has two good wins so far. Tennessee/Oregon and Texas/CU today.

    Oregon/Tennessee going to OT on ESPN2.

    Edit: Brooks with the game winning 3.

    Ogbe averaging 24 minutes, 14 points, 3 rebounds, shooting over 60% from field & from 3.

    at UVU.

    Giac resigns at Drake. I think he is probably a good assistant coach, but not a head coach.

    Wonder what Mark Few thinks of all of this.

    Xavier with back to back road losses. We are not going to Cincy at a good time.

    Are you kidding?! They're going to be absolutely demoralized. They're going to look across at Van Dyke, and Rawson, and Johnson and tell each other, there's no way we can hang with these guys. And we roll.

    What will Grayson Allen learn from his suspension? Here's some advice

    What do you all think?

    I didn't read it, but I think there is some potential for addition by subtraction for Duke. Allen has not been shooting well, and he's a bit out of control. This is a great chance for Frank Jackson.

    This is great.

    Jon Rothstein I think his name is is ok.

    Looks like Utah is slowly creeping into the top 25. Jon Wilner with the only vote for Utah at 25. Obviously beating Oregon should do it.
    Does Gonzaga move to #1?

    I hope not. There are too many Cougar fans that would use it as justification when Gonzaga pummels them by 20 about how great BYU is.

    #6 FSU goes down at Syracuse. #9 UNC getting blown out at Miami. #14 ND lost to GT. #15 Wiscy in OT at Rutgers.

    I think basketball is wide open this season.

    Does he do that? How well has it gone for other heroes who returned home to coach? It seems like that rarely ends well.

    Wouldn't UCLA cry tears of joy if Alford left? Haven't they been trying to move on from him and his contract for a couple of years now?
