Nov. 11-13, 2016
Another short post to begin the season, as it seems with this dynasty, all seasons will start on a Friday. Makes sense to me. As always, this first post will only cover the teams that played a game, since there were only 9 games.
ECU (Al Hutt) -- 1-1, 0-0 American.
11/11/16- Military Classic First Round vs. (3) UNC Wilmington (L 65-51).
11/12/16- Military Classic 3rd Place Game vs. (4) Tennessee Tech (W 52-50).
A 3rd place finish in a 4 team tournament for the Pirates doesn't seem like much, but it's a start.
Davidson (Randolph Childress) -- 1-0, 0-0 Atlantic 10.
11/11/16- Hall of Fame Classic First Round vs. (8) Green Bay (W 78-73).
Good opening win for the Wildcats, but Duke awaits next week.
#1 Michigan State (Al Mighty) -- 1-0, 0-0 Big Ten.
11/11/16- Hall of Fame Classic First Round vs. (15) Lafayette (W 82-46).
No problem for the Spartans in their first game.
Monmouth (Thomas Carrano) -- 1-1, 0-0 MAAC.
11/11/16- Los Angeles Classic First Round vs. (2) Florida Gulf Coast (W 58-53).
11/12/16- Los Angeles Classic Championship vs. (1) Portland (L 59-47).
The Hawks fought, but were never really in the LA Classic Championship. They'll take 2nd place though.
#2 UCLA (Tim Shepard) -- 2-0, 0-0 Pac 12.
11/11/16- Coaches vs. Cancer Classic First Round vs. (15) Delaware (W 87-47).
11/13/16- Coaches vs. Cancer Classic Quarterfinals vs. (10) New Mexico State (W 99-76).
Easy week for the Bruins, who rolled through inferior competition.
#4 Kentucky (Patrick Hutt) -- 1-0, 0-0 SEC.
11/13/16 vs. FIU (W 66-42).
No problem for the Wildcats as they breeze in their lone game of the week.
Even with a lack of games, let's take a look at the national top 25 for the week:
