UAB was struggling with Louisiana for 35 minutes, but then absolutely raced the Cajuns in the last 5 minutes.

UTSA eeks out a dub

Tulsa in a rockfight right now at halftime

Charlotte is getting bludgeoned right now, being outscored 22-6 in the 2H by ETSU.

Thinking about the current (non-Mean Green) American torchbearers right now.  Random thoughts:

MEMPHIS is clearly the media darling.  I hate rooting for them, but this conference desperately needs more respect and the only way to get that is to win these OOC games.

WICHITA STATE is rockin'! Not many brand name wins, but the BB enthusiast will see some solid wins on their resume.  Minnesota is on deck soon, for those that like to look at common opponents.  Also ETSU, which is clobbering Charlotte right now.  They should wallop Alcorn State.

ECU and RICE.  Not sure what to think about these stellar records.  Me personally, I love the game but I don't love it to the point of being familiar with all 300+ programs.  I know very little about their opponents.

PS: I don't know if the American has had this many 1 or 0-loss teams (5) this far into November.  Seems like it would be a good thing, right?

Memphis is getting destroyed early on.

Tulane has an important game against Belmont tonight. Looking at their history, Belmont has only failed to reach 20 wins twice since the 2003-2004 season. As for this season, it would be Tulane's best win so far.

Surprised by their efforts on the defensive boards. Really liked Johni Broome when he was at Morehead State a couple years back. Looks like he's having a big impact.

Edit to add didn't realize Broome already had a double-double. He's a beast...

I just pulled up a handful of '25 mock drafts and Broome isn't mentioned at all. I know the NBA draft over-values 19-20 year olds and athleticism measurables, but someone is gonna walk away with a solid contributor. Broome is a baller

Auburn with 2 wins over then-T5 teams, plus #12 UNC.  Memphis isn’t ranked but they just beat #2 UCONN.  that’s a damn good resume.

It's all about the halftime adjustments.  Some coaches know what to say.

Unranked WVU beat #3 Gonzaga today, and unranked Louisville crushes #14 Indiana by 28. 

These neutral site tourney games, some in exotic beach locations, must have a lot of distractions for young players, lol.
