Double OT on the Mesa After everything else today?

Miles Byrd! On a night full of home favorites nearly self-destructing but still finding a way, that's as dramatic as anything His three-point heave beats the buzzer and somehow San Diego State has earned OT after trailing Troy almost all game

San Francisco having a priest in the huddle when they played the Demons is objectively hilarious

Washington has tied Southern once more in order to force a 2nd overtime. 86-all this time

Cam 'Clutch' Amboree

Jaguars lead 53-44 now, with just over 11 minutes left to play Southern has been hitting the glass hard, and despite Franck Kepnang's presence inside, the Jags own a 28-14 advantage on points in the paint!

So, the Southern Jaguars are up 8 at halftime on the road against a B1G team 👀 It's a 37-29 midpoint advantage for the team from the SWAC at Washington After a bunch of thiiiiiis-close misses for mid-majors against the big guys tonight, can the Jags hang on? 🤞

The Rhode Island Rams have STUNNED the Yale Bulldogs on the road 86-77! Jonah Hinton dropped 24 points with 3 assists and 1 rebounds while shooting 5-11 from beyond the arc to lead the Rams. Rhode Island moves to 4-1 on the season while handing Yale their first loss!

I tuned into Arkansas-Winthrop just in time for a flagrant 2, this rules

Games of the day (11/17): - Drake vs Charleston ~ 6pm CST - VCU vs NC State ~ 6pm CST - SIUE vs No. 24 Wisconsin ~ 7pm CST - Southern Illinois vs North Dakota St ~ 7pm CST - Tulsa vs Kansas State ~ 7pm CST - Loyola Marymount vs UC Santa Barbara ~ 8pm CST

Nice to see some different logos appearing towards best territory. Gonna be interested in tracking their progress & whether teams like George Washington & Santa Clara can maintain. If UCSB starts guarding people... Would have loved to see Akron's📌 before they faced Purdue Graph credit CBBAnalytics

Alright guys, clearly Purdue is really good. The Bama thing was great & all, but now the Boilermakers are stomping on Akron. It's 74-53 Purdue with 10 minutes left to play But seriously impressive stuff, Trey Kauffman-Renn in particular. 15 & 13 despite playing hurt. Akron sure can shoot, though

UNLV came into today 1-2, and the two losses were against UT-Martin (#315 according to @barttorvik.bsky.social) and Montana (#173) Then, UNLV went to FedEx Forum and spanked Memphis, 92-78. Now the Tigers are 1-2 themselves...and next up is Purdue Bad times right now for all things Penny

Come on, Mount St. Mary's...they've been leading Cincinnati most of the game but Bearcats are making a comeback 48-47 Mountaineers at the under 8 break

Don't look now: Colorado State has started 4-0 under Ali Farokhmanesh. Each win has been convincing. Today CSU beat Loyola Chicago, 80-67 Carey Booth & Kyle Jorgensen a versatile pair of forwards with a bunch of potential. Brandon Rechsteiner looks comfortable letting fly #CSURams Ramblers...yikes

Marcedes Alexis Lewis XX, First of his Name, Pro Bowler and Elder Statesman of Tight Ends

Are we there already? Not sure, but... That people are talking about his status says so much about how horrid Loyola Chicago's start has been. Staring down the barrel of 1-4 and the only W was on a buzzer-beater... Ramblers, will you not show us all something in this second half?

Kent State moves to 4-1 with a 76-72 OT win over Wright State It was another performance which confirms that Delrecco Gillespie has become a star. Flashes big man is averaging 21.0/13.6 to start the season after his 26 & 17 double-double today. Rob Senderoff has homegrown another good one #MACtion

This would have been amazing... Phoenix came to play, good on them.

Amari McCottry has taken his breakout act into the Billikens' starting lineup, and the results continue to be excellent Saint Louis took down GCU today, 78-64. Sophomore McCottry posted 20/5/4, his second straight 20+ game. Robbie Avila's got a new sidekick, and the Bills are playing good ball

The St. Bonaventure Bonnies have taken down Youngstown State 84-80 in an incredible battle! Amar'e Marshall came up huge off the bench with 17 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists while shooting 6-7 from the floor. The Bonnies shot 58% overall and 46% from 3pt to move to 4-0!

Folks ought to understand that Rienk Mast is a bad, bad man Big fella is in a system that's going to best showcase his skills and he's balling. Nebraska isn't going to be any sort of also-ran this year. With Mast plus the improving shooters Fred Hoiberg has put around him, looks like a good crop 🌽

So this exchange has been put into some interesting context with today's results. Bucks better pick it up for the folks in MKE Feel for Payne, best wishes on a full recovery. Terp fans are gonna like Isaiah Watts. He always seemed to be involved when good things happened for WSU Hoyas, we see you

When Saint Mary's really goes to work on an opponent, it's truly something to behold Gaels lead North Texas 30-12 with 7:04 to play in the 1st half, and they're just dismantling UNT on the glass. SMC already has a 22-4 advantage on the glass

Barrington Hargress is just slick Colorado's freshmen are playing well, too. Some potential in Boulder. Tad Boyle always seems to figure something out Buffs lead Providence, 59-53 with 13 minutes to play. Jason Edwards has 17 for the Friars, should be a good finish ahead

Ine of the coaches involved in this game is only in his 2nd Division I season The other has been at the highest level for almost 15 years This game says a whole lot about who Ben McCollum and Richard Pitino are as coaches.

Most people know you can (sort of) filter out preseason bias at my site. But here's a power-user feature, EXCLUSIVE to my Blue Sky followers: you can can specify a partial amount of preseason juice by using the "prephase=X" URL parameter.

The best win of the first two weeks of the season will belong to Purdue. Boilermakers take a third straight win in as many years against Alabama with a 87-80 W in Bama's joint. Preseason NPOY Braden Smith: 29 points, seven rebounds, four assists.

Things are continuing to...ah...well, they're continuing for Doug Gottlieb's Green Bay Phoenix...

This is living up to expectations so far

It's possible that Ross Hodge has got a squad in his first year in Morgantown West Virginia smacks Pittsburgh, 71-49. Once the Mountaineers' marksmen get rolling, they could make some moves in the Big 12. You know they're gonna defend like crazy

Folks, Loyola Chicago is struggling something fierce Sitting at 1-2 (the one win being a buzzer-beater), the Ramblers are currently down 38-25 to Wichita State and have only made six field goals through the first 15 minutes of this one Big yikes, 'Blers

Monmouth leads Seton Hall at the half in Newark, 34-27 Can't wait for this 2nd half

A Taskmaster/College Sports crossover post? What in the Mike Wozniak's absolute casserole is going on here?!

Harlan Obioha's ascent - from 7-foot 🏈 prospect to project at Niagara to rising talent at UNC Wilmington to, potentially, a legit force for West Virginia - is what college sports is all about. Young fella has put in the work and he's making a reputation He's got 19 points on 8/8 FGs so far tonight

HONOR HUFF CONCUSS ME WITH A BAG OF HAMMERS

Major mid major behavior

THAT was how you lose a road game Or like, any game. Goodness

As if there weren't enough accolades piling up, just realized something. The last group of freshmen Darian DeVries recruited while at Drake have all become stars elsewhere. Leo Beath is shooting the lights out for UCSD. Elijah Price is a double-double guy for Nevada. Colby Garland was great last...

UT Martin follows up a 5% KenPom win at UNLV with an 8% one at Bradley. Skyhawks were picked 8th in the OVC, but I think the league might want a redo.

Games of the day (11/12): - Elon vs Marshall ~ 6pm CST - James Madison vs Longwood ~ 6pm CST - Saint Joseph’s vs Virginia Tech ~ 6pm CST - American vs George Washington ~ 6pm CST - Middle Tennessee vs Evansville ~ 7pm CST - UT Martin vs Bradley ~ 7:30pm CST - Weber St vs Utah St ~ 8pm CST

CENTRAL CONNECTICUT STATE, NEW ENGLAND’S PREMIER COLLEGIATE BASKETBALL PROGRAM

Today I learned that when somebody on Akron scores a touchdown, they throw a whole-ass car tire around his neck to celebrate once he hits the sideline. The turnover chain's legacy is profound, and Rubber City is living up to the nickname

Oh come on Blue Hens you beauties!
