Buffalo vs. Michigan.

Ugh, Caleb Houstan is good. Buffalo is the class of the MAC and they're scoring at will.

The Michigan freshmen definitely pass the eye test through the first 20 minutes. I was hoping Diabate would be skinnier… He moves like a NBA big. At least he won’t be there long.

Michigan couldn’t have played much better than they did in the 1st half, but Buffalo doesn’t look ready to quit.

I like this Buffalo team. I would not like to play them in an early tournament game.

Former Illini target David Jones had 23 points, 17 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals and 2 assists last night for DePaul against Coppin St. Stubbs has to be happy he didn’t lose Jones to portal as he did several players this past off season. They looked bad last night in first half before pulling away in 2nd. In their defense, they were missing two guards who are still waiting to be cleared eligibility-wise — Bynum and Jalen Terry (transfer from Oregon) — and lost starter during game. They look pretty good upfront — out rebounded Coppin 50-20 with 20 offensive rebounds — but don’t have much in the way of shooters.

Is Charlie Moore still on their roster or did he finally graduate/transfer again?

He transferred to FSU or Miami I think, but could have the school wrong.

Sixth year senior at Miami....one more year and he ties JCL, his former DePaul teammate.

They’re both Bill Self Kansas guys.

Mark Smith can't be too far behind, either. They should all start a clinic with their masters/doctorates.

Speaking of Bill Self and guys who are still around...Kansas is playing Tarleton tomorrow, Friday, 11/12...It will be a matchup of Self against his former Illinois assistant (and later Kentucky Head Coach), Billy Gillispie.

Hate to say it but team looks good with depth. Hoping no replacement for Smith at the point but Jones looks even better. They look better to me than either Duke or Kentucky.
