How is GJ Vilarino working out? I havent saw or heard anything from him, i just remember him being a UK commit while Gillispie was there.

He transfered...

Wasn't going to get any minutes at all.

We have to many point guards right now.

Was West Virginia supposed to lose this game?

[Bomberooski]

Matt, I need a quick rundown on Memphis. Thanks

WVU plays 11 guys.. 7 are freshman. Kent St returns 4 starters from a team that has won the MAC regular season two years in a row, they are very experienced. Not an absolute shocker. But now the good games get going. Memphis/Belmont, Texas, Villanova, Syracuse all play. And then of course the three bigger games tonight.

Boy I love college basketball.

Hawaii looked great. I think they will be a tournament team for sure. They have the NYC player of the year at PG, a good point forward, and a great senior PG who kills it from 3-point range.

Yeah, I was watching that game this morning. Zane Johnson is a beautiful player to watch, as his game is just so smooth. I'm looking forward to tonights games.

RMU/St. Peter's @ 7 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> any other game tonight.

So much for Belmont. Looked like poop against Memphis, so to quote NAHSTE, pump them brakes on the mid major darling talk for now.

Texas is real real good. But this interview with Kevin Durant seems real uncomfortable...

Yeah the interview was pretty awkward lol. KD is a really quiet guy tho, he aint gonna give you much.

Stream of RMU/St. Peter's for all you Colonial Crazies out there. Be warned though, this stream is so ghetto that it doesn't even have a score overlay. Instead, during timeouts, the operator moves the camera to the scoreboard.

I don't know why I do this to myself.

RMU 69, St. Peter's 52

Four starters in double digits (Velton Jones - 19, Coron Williams - 13, Russell Johnson - 11, Lijah Thompson - 10) give the Colonials their second win of this young season. It was a two-point game at half before RMU blew it up open with a fury of three-pointers by Jones and Williams.

Williams has been on an unreal run since taking over for an injured and now suspended Karon Abraham and might actually be a better pure shooter than the former NEC Freshman of the Year. I'd still give Abraham the edge on defense however.

This team is shaping up to be a damn good one. Andy Toole will take his Colonials to face his alma mater Penn on Saturday.

Just from what I saw yesterday, I was real impressed with Coll of Charleston and Kent State.
