Maryland and Penn St. Always a risk.
Oregon holds off the basketball juggernaut known as ...Rice... by four points. This is after needing a bucket in the final seconds to stave off an upset from Hawaii. Oregon looking like potentially a major down year.
PG (Shelstad) is out for a while, and they don't have much depth this year either which I think is compounding that problem
EDIT: I am completely WRONG, he is already back for them and played last night
We got there faster than

Alabama up 74-66 against St. John’s at the Garden. How long until Bryce Hopkins blows out his knee for the Johnnies? (Not that I want that to happen in any way, but history is not kind on that front).

Watching St John vs Alabama. Great game. Both teams seriously good.
Starting to think the BIG is the pansy league for foul calls. Other leagues seem to allow a lot more contact. Am I right or do we just use hands rather than body up. Houston reminds me of the old John Thompson Georgetown teams in that regard.

Regarding the shoe throw, if he was successful would that have been a legal play? I assume not, but I also can't see it being explicitly mentioned in the rule book.
IMO it is how the B10 (inconsistently) calls fouls. Too much emphasis on keeping games close and giving home team (especially if it is not the superior team) way too much advantage; so that influences how fouls are called game to game, minute to minute. Instead of just calling them straight up and consistently managing a style of play, for some reason the league would rather maximize tournament invites rather than prepare their best teams for success in the tournament. As a result, they have a league with fantastic teams that haven't won a championship in 25 years. JMO but I believe that to my core.
Rienk Mast already has a triple double for Nebraska.

The inconsistency is always the major issue with officiating. You can always adjust to a loosely or tightly called game as long as it’s consistent. When you get to the point where you have no idea what a foul is - like we often see in the Big Ten - that’s when the frustration sets in.
That would be surprising. I'm not seeing that but it's early and I don't put a lot stock into November games at all.
Is Houston that good? Six point game in second half against Towson.

I hope they keep struggling at least through 11/17 when they play Oregon State.
I had tickets to the game. Something important came up, so I ended up selling them the day before. I'm SO glad that I didn't make the 8 hour round trip for this one
