It appears that college basketball has started, with #9 Tennessee badly hurting #4 Michigan State in East Lansing early on.

But my real comment here is that it's amazingly appropriate that the commentator working beside Bill Raftery is named Connor Onion.

The Iowa Hawkeye Women were playing the local college team today so I got tickets! It was one of those weird games where the fans were rooting for both teams, the home team and the one with a shot at a title. Sold out including standing room only. Clark had a “quiet game” with 24 points 10 rebounds and 11 assists. She stayed behind for 15 minutes signing autographs

Just one in an ever-growing list of examples that spans well over a decade of announcing that illustrate why Bill Walton should never be employed to call a basketball game ever again.

I watched about 3 hours of the games Walton called last night. I yelled "I hate you" at him about six times. (The above was not even one of them. I remember the play, I think I spaced it out.)

My Wildcats are looking the best I've seen since Aaron Gordon's year now in Y3 of the CTL era. The Big 12 is gonna be a killer hoops conference next year but it's killing me that the Pac is going down with so many top ranked schools in football and a hoops program that looks like a serious threat for a 1 seed.

Did they also allow Bill Walton to design the court for this game?

Apparently I missed a hell of an event in Tucson today. Gotta find a replay.

You will enjoy the refereeing.

You will enjoy the refereeing.

That's a first.

did they show the football team on the broadcast? I know this is fb related but this is the funniest thing I've ever seen from UA's big money guy. I really do hope NIL is shortlived and the revenue sports just come up with more appropriate ways to pay the athletes:

It all starts with Lenoir, afraid to tackle in space on the 1st or 2nd play of the drive

what college basketball game are you watching?

Caitlyn so good that Gus Johnson actually let a moment breathe for once. (Also them having Gus Johnson calling women’s games is a huge step for college basketball in general)

Can I just say I'm glad Duke is out on the mens side. I loathe Duke.
