Coach Gates is so brave for playing this game. We give him more credit than even @GoodmanHoops gives him. The decision to play this game has to place him as the front runner for National Coach of the Year early on in this new season! #bravery
Dennis Gates after the loss to Saint Louis: “99% of programs would avoid this game. So I’m proud that I put my team in this situation to figure out who we are… It’s a great game. I’d love to keep it on the schedule.”

Shoutout to @BinghamtonMBB’s Jeremiah Quigley (@jquigley_3) tonight as he scored 28 points by way of sinking EIGHTEEN free throws in a tight road win over Saint Peter’s in the America East/MAAC Challenge.
Quigley is a fun watch! 6’0 senior guard from Accokeek, MD.
The game of the night in college basketball is in Nashville as Vanderbilt hosts Wake Forest.
This is the only game today where two power conference teams will go head-to-head.
Both teams are 1-0.
This is ONLY November.
The only one we disagree with is #20 --- Bryce Drew had to rebuild and had a top 5 recruiting class before 'she' pulled the carpet out from him to make the Stackhouse hire.
All the Rest are spot on.
Shoutout to Nasir Mann (@nasmannn2) and Jordan Watford (@jordanbeen4pf) of @queensMBB as they combined for 48 points last night in a big road win over LMU.
Watford sank the go-ahead game winning FT with 2 seconds left in the game!
@QUCoachGrant’s team continues to impress!
1) Queens of Charlotte, NC heads west and knocks off LMU. Grant Leonard will be a hot name in the spring.
2) Northern Kentucky off to an impressive start so far.
3) St Mary's after a coaching change last spring, has 2 quality wins.
Shoutout to @GoJacksSDSU R-Frosh Davis Kern for going into Kansas State last night and dropping 24 points and grabbing 8 boards with ZERO turnovers in his collegiate debut. All while helping leading the Jackrabbits to a road win to open their season!
EARLY HOT TAKE:
Rick Barnes has missed in the Portal this past off season for the first time.
Going to be a tough year on Rocky Top. Blown out by Xavier and Duke in exhibitions, Wofford leads early in game 1.
