Nov. 15-17, 2019
Opening weekend of this season is a little better, as there are 10 games. No feature games though. As always, I'll only report on the teams that played for this first weekend.
Duke (Dean Hoo) -- 2-0, 0-0 ACC.
11/15/19- Coaches vs. Cancer Classic First Round vs. (14) Rider (W 82-69).
11/17/19- Coaches vs. Cancer Classic Quarterfinals vs. (11) Oakland (W 75-64).
Good start for the Blue Devils, who got a bit of a break by not having to play the 6th seed in the Quarterfinals.
TCU (Bee Mighty) -- 1-0, 0-0 Big 12.
11/15/19- Hall of Fame Classic First Round vs. (4) BYU (W 82-76).
A shocker here, as the Horned Frogs get their season off to a nice start with an upset win in their preseason tournament.
Northwestern (Ess Vee) -- 1-0, 0-0 Big Ten.
11/17/19 at VMI (W 60-50).
Not the most impressive debut for the Wildcats, but a win is a win at this point.
Charlotte (Timmy Tribble) -- 0-2, 0-0 Conference USA.
11/15/19- Los Angeles Classic First Round vs. (3) Winthrop (L 79-75).
11/16/19- Los Angeles Classic Consolation Game vs. (4) Appalachian State (L 73-62).
Well, the ratings changes haven't done the 49ers any good. Hopefully this was just a blip in the radar, but as always, they have a tough non-conference schedule ahead of them. A bit ironic though, as Charlotte has won a 4 team tournament and taken 2nd in 2 of them since this dynasty started, and that was with a coach rating of 7. Now it's 11. Funny how the game works.
Colorado (Rob Nielsen) -- 0-1, 0-0 Pac 12.
11/17/19 at #16 Miami (L 77-65).
Good effort for the Buffaloes, but they aren't quite there yet.
UCLA (Tim Shepard) -- 1-0, 0-0 Pac 12.
11/17/19 vs. Houston (W 79-67).
The Bruins pick up where they left off last season with a good opening win.
Alabama (Roy Rogers) -- 1-0, 0-0 SEC.
11/15/19- Hall of Fame Classic First Round vs. (12) Mercer (W 90-65).
The Crimson Tide have no trouble in their first game, setting up a feature game with TCU next.
#23 Florida (Noah Oppenheimer) -- 1-0, 0-0 SEC.
11/17/19 at Stetson (W 71-48).
An easy road win to open the season for the Gators.
