Season set to start November 25 with Duke vs Michigan State and Kansas vs Kentucky.

Orlando is planning to host 8 pre-season bubble tournaments.

Not sure how the rest of the season will work, but lots of talk of bubbles.


Big10 is loaded this year with lots of players returning after flirting with the NBA.

Chet Holmgren.


Actually you won't see him this year or next as he's only a junior in high school, but go check him out on youtube. #1 rated junior in the country, he's a 7'0 170 pound white boy from Minneapolis. I watched his highlight reel and he handles like a guard and shoots like Kevin Durant. Blocks a lot of shots and looks like he had a bit of a mean streak in him.

Everyone talks about Emoni Bates who is only a sophmore, but this Chet guy is gonna be very interesting as well.



I'll hit you up later with some college names cause right now I don't know....I'm not quite in that mode yet. I do know the #1 freshman is going to Oklahoma State and they might not even be post season eligible. SO that's a waste...similar to Ant Edwards going to Georgia this year for no good reason.

_________________

He won't be a 1 and done but Jaden Ivey from Purdue is going to be a pretty good NBA player.

you are correct. That's weird, did it change or have I managed to dyslexic my way through the 5 or 6 times I've read the schedule for that double header?

No, that's been the scheduled game for a while. Cut down on those gummies, my friend.

Got Illinois plus 5

I'm hoping this will be like 15 years ago when the Illini were on the come and destroyed top-ranked Wake Forest on national television. I remember that game vividly as I was in the bar section of Joe's Prime and the atmosphere was electric.

_________________

Indiana appears to again be a team that is going to be super inconsistent. Look really good vs Providence and Stanford, look horrible vs. Texas

Are residents of Illinois not allowed to bet on the game? Don’t see it listed on the DraftKings app.

I am on Arkansas and Illinois tonight, praying hard I don't make it a 312 night.

That horseshit backdoor cover on 6.5 Seattle- Philly cost me a nice payday. I had Texas Southern money line and over Goedert receiving yards. If numbnuts Carrol kicks a FG on 4th and goal from the 3..i win 788$


That was a tough matchup for Illinois, Baylor might be the best team in the country.

Gonzaga?

_________________

I would say Gonzaga is as of right now, but it is too early to know much. Baylor is good tho.

The problem Illinois is going to have is the big 10 is loaded. They are just going to beat each other up. Hopefully that pays off come tourney time.

I don't like them but Wisconsin is really good.

Id say Michigan State and Illinois are gonna battle it out for the conference title. Its3the best conference in the country with 9 teams maybe 10 going to the tourney.

_________________

It's one of those two. No one else seems close based on the first couple games. Zags play Baylor Saturday at noon, but we'll see if super frosh Jalen Suggs is 100% by then. Looked liek he tore his achilles in the first half and then made it back on teh court in the 2nd half, but pretty much just stood in the corner from that point on.

Baylor has a ridiculous backcourt. Zags are going to need Suggs for that game.

_________________

MSU is the best team in the Big Ten.

Wisconsin and Illinois not too far behind.

Iowa is way overrated but still probably fourth.

OSU, Rutgers, and Purdue are the next tier.

Indiana would be there too if they figure out how to score.

Minnesota, Michigan, Maryland and PSU have some talent to move up but right now they don't seem anything but average.

Nebraska and Northwestern are not going to be good

They put up a little wall last night. Illini couldn't penetrate.

hopefully nothing gets cancelled tonight cause it's loaded with great games including a fantastic triple header on ESPN.

Get to your tv or DVR early as Kansas (5) vs Creighton (8) is at 4pm.

Followed by...

UNC (16) vs Iowa (3)
Duke (10)vs Illinois (6)

Blows my mind Creighton is an annual top 20 team
