When you're Grambling you have to search far & wide for cupcakes, but Ecclesia College filled the bill. The founder of EC resigned last year and pled guilty of fraud.

Grambling 147
Ecclesia College 52

Imagine having Ecclesia +94.5 and losing the bet.

Now take that, but it’s actually two D-1 schools. That’s what Utah did tonight.

Here's a "I don't want to do the research myself" trivia question for you: prior to #1 MSU starting 0-1 this season, name the last preseason #1 ranked college basketball team to open the season with a loss.

99-00 uconn was ranked #1 in the ap preseason poll and lost to iowa in the first game.

None of this speaks well for Florida State, coming off consecutive sweet 16 appearances (and one regional final).

But it is a bit early.

Of course Florida is playing like garbage, can’t get a FG in over 10 minutes of game time. Noles up by 9 in 2nd half.

welcome to November basketball

their first half looked just like the first half of our cincy game.

obviously extremely early, but the only team i've seen so far that looks like a title-worthy team is kentucky.

UK happens to be the only team I bet to win the NC. Maybe another team emerges as a surprise a la Auburn last season, but the stifling UK defense & having 7 really good players are two factors I think are going to carry them to the F4 this season.

exciting game between arizona and illinois. nico mannion playing much better than ayo.

edit: and just like that, ayo gets 6 points in about 40 seconds.

outside of kofi, they're just too soft. they're in desperate need of a quality defensive 4... like young or liddell.

edit: and the illini guards are just way too careless with the ball.
