If you can detach yourself from being an unhappy basketball fan right now, there are some great match-ups tonight.

My predictions are KU wins easily and Michigan State wins in a nail-biter over Duke.

I feel dead to college basketball right now and probably will most of the season. Watching good, competent basketball will only frustrate me and watching us play will only frustrate me. No win situation.

Same, but oddly enough sometimes I enjoy watching a good game with no rooting interest. My blood pressure gets a break for once.

I'm usually all for basketball season, but being our football team is somewhat interesting and competitive I find myself paying way more attention to that right now.

I will probably tune in tonight, though. Especially because the Top 25 is released between games.

Me too. While I miss UConn, Pitt, etc in the old Big East, I love watching their new conference on FS1 because I get a little sick of the ESPN blowhards.
For match ups like tonight, I'll watch ESPN though.

Good game so far. The amount of athleticism in this game is unreal.

Bilas also going full slob on Duke’s/Allen’s knob.

Miles Bridges is my favorite non-ISU player in college basketball.

I am so drawn to well played basketball right now. I watch 10 minutes of Villanova blowing out a no name just because of the ball movement...

Ugh, it makes mad when a monster like Nick Ward can’t touch a rail-thin freshman on the block without getting a foul.

Anyone have any insight on the Billy Preston situation at Kansas. He was involved in a single car accident Saturday, and is out tonight while the university investigates the accident for “financial” reasons.

The vehicle he was driving was not one you’d expect a freshman in college to be driving. Well, that’s what the ESPN chyron said.

Every time Jaren Jackson from Michigan State shoots, I hear “Jackson for 3” from the commentators. I then remember the last 2 ISU games, and part of me dies inside.
