We back. Not sure what type of season to expect. Probably finish anywhere from 5-9 but I like Mike Anderson and Mustapha Heron and LJ Figueroa are the best 1-2 punch in the Big East.


UConn also comes back next year so that should add more excitement.

I’m excited to see Mike Anderson at SJU. A lot of people were hating (mainly Jeff Goodman) but his style is made for New York.

My two teams won’t be shyt this year ( GA Tech & Alabama State)

want to see if MSU lives up to expectations
Want to see what penny does at Memphis this year

very interested to see how Ant Edwards does at UGA, & if he will be the start of 4 & 5 star players staying in state to play for UGA, Tech or GA State.


Ain’t nothing like college basketball. In college football only 8 teams out of 130+ can realistically win every year. March Madness gives everyone a chance no matter how big or small your school is

People who haven’t seen James Wiseman will be surprised when they see a player hyped as the 1st pick who really isn’t that good.
I like Wiseman. I don’t think he’s a franchise changer but I think he has the tools to be solid. No worse than Bagley imo

My Gators need to put it together this year and start the REAL Mike White era off right. He now has his own roster and a big man to help down low. No excuses this season.
I’m excited to see this squad make the leap to an actual contender. A lot of talent on that roster, especially with Scottie Lewis coming in. Glad Nembhard decided to come back too

cosign. i hope i remember to catch them tonight vs UNF. This is easily a Sweet 16 at WORST if all the pieces come together and they stay healthy.

I expect kentucky to lose because they usually aren't great early in the year but I know Michigan st is banged up so they could eek out a win depending. I think Tillman is going to ball out though especially if kentucky's big is out with the ankle sprain
