Non-Big East Conversation

Oh yeah, I forgot that Travis Steele landed at Miami-OH. Nice start for the Aces.

That was a road game for the Aces as well.

 

No idea what the line was but Cal lost to UC-Davis by 10.

 

The Pom line was Cal by 6. Not sure what Vegas had.

Rare for a road game against a Power 6 team to be a must-win, but that’s essentially what the game at Berkeley will be.

 

Man, watching Bellarmine play is so fun. The ball hardly touches the floor in their half court offense.

Khristian Lander (former IU 5 star recruit) doesn’t even start for WKY. How did the wheels fall off so fast for him?

He plays ZERO defense and can't shoot...

 

Except for that...

 

Queue up the Luke Brown transfer convo.

Khalif Battle had a night against ‘Nova.

 

Just came here to post this.

And also add, he’s starting his 4th season, and is listed as a sophomore.

He's a talented kid, but hard to know if he would hold up physically in the BE over a 20 game grind.

 

The biggest surprise, while he was at Butler, was his inability to get anywhere with the dribble. I saw a little bit of the game last night, but not enough to see if that has changed. He will still take some erratic shots from deep.

He was talented then and he is more so now.

 

Louisville loses 2nd in row. This time to Wright State on a buzzer beater.

After season-opening losses to Bellarmine and Wright State, Louisville is still ranked ahead of Butler by Kenpom and projected to have a better conference record in the ACC than Butler's in the Big East.

 

I don't like these early season projections for a lot of reasons, but predicting Louisville to win more ACC games than Butler wins Big East games is reasonable. The ACC is very top heavy this year. There are some mediocre to awful teams after Carolina, Virginia & Duke. The Big East is much stronger as a whole, even if there's only one elite team this season.

 

But then Louisville is downright awful.

 

A chance to get a first look at TN today at 2:00 Est on ESPN.

Tenn’s 7’1” starting center is down with an ankle injury. Hate to see it but maybe he’ll take 2 weeks off (fingers crossed)
