College Basketball 2025-26 season thread

1) Boozer is as good a college player as Flagg.
2) Duke really needs to find another consistent scorer...could be Evans eventually. Hitting that big shot against UF should help.
3) Seeing their roster on the floor I'm a little surprised they didn't look to the portal for some veteran wing...Sion and Gillis gave them some much needed vet experience that I think this team is lacking. Depending on Khamenia and Sarr could be costly down the road.

Khamenia is shockingly bad

Clemson, UVA, and miami are all good teams. State and Wake have some talent as well.
Clemson and UVA are sandwiched around UNC in kenpom

Clemson and Wake have taken steps back imo. UVA, Miami, State are all improved

Cuse is the sleeper team if they can stay healthy. No depth and weak front court but a pretty tough 5

They did. Got a commitment from Cedric Coward. At the last minute he decided to go to the NBA. He's averaging 13 & 6 for the Grizz

 

[CRHeel94]

Oh I know about Coward. Trust me I know.

I'm talking more of a support guy like Gillis or Sion than a star guy.

 

[dukeman92]

I completely agree with your assessment of the team. And I'm sure they thought Sarr was going to be that guy, but he just hasn't looked ready to contribute at this level.

 

[CRHeel94]

I think that's probably it. Given the time he had spent at Barcelona they probably figured he'd be more of a steady hand.

Heard he's a real nice kid.

Cade’s performance thus far this year has been shocking to me.

In other news, Davidson beat The Citadel 79-63.

nico medved may be a wizard, he got kyan evans to shoot 44% from 3 too

Cade’s performance thus far this year has been shocking to me.

Maybe the Big 10 style of play is better suited for his game. I thought he had a hard time shooting at UNC because the competition was quicker than he was used to and he was having to try to get his shot off quicker than he was used to doing.

Gonzaga - Kentucky tonight @ Rupp

The hilarity of UK dropping another one would be too much

It would be funny!

For the Heels strength of schedule and quadrants, I’d rather UK wins.

My CR team lost by 2 to the citadel in a summer scrimmage (and we were without our starting front court).

 

[BillyL]

Zags are off to a bigly start . . 15-2 w/13:39 first half.

 

[Heelsandeers]

The lack of offense from anyone on Kentucky is shocking

Lowe/Dioubate won’t solve these problems

This is looking like a 12+ loss team very easily

 

[stankeylegjones]

That "this win is going to age well" win over UK might not age so well.

 

[SnoopRob]

Gonzaga beat UK 94-59.

That's bad enough I almost feed bad for UK.

I'm glad we played them at their place so that it almost certainly stays a Q1 win.
