Jair Bolden is starting for Butler on FS1, immediately clanks a long two.

The game was at Xavier’s place, but they were playing against Toledo.  Still a great shot.  Nolan finished with 10 points, 5 boards, 1 dime, in 25 minutes.

Arnoldo Toro falls to 2-3 against MAAC teams after St John’s loses to St Peters.

Bradley's Terry Nolan Jr. for the win

Looks like St. John's won. Or am I seeing that wrong?

TNJr in what was I believe his 2nd ever game as a true Freshman carved up a massive athletic Florida St team, with aerial dunks and rim attacks, he just scratched his surface here of his true ceiling.

I believe he was picked pre-season newcomer of the league.  Very talented player, going to do big things in the next few years.

As for Jair, wish him well, obviously has a lot of talent, but he also has zero defensive effort and clanking long 2s brings back painful memories.  If you thought yesterday's defensive effort was subpar, and I agree the play to play intensity on D was lacking collectively, recall that was Jair on every play of every possession at GW (and what I've seen of him elsewhere)  Shame because he's got huge potential himself, size, handle and nice touch.

George Mason trailing D2 Queens College 65-64 with 49 seconds left.

FQ,  Nolan hit a 3 that gave Bradley a 1-point lead a couple seconds earlier, it looked like he was going to hit game-winning shots on consecutive days. Xavier made some highly questionable decisions late in that game(including fouling Nolan), but they were able to pull it out. Queens College is supposedly a D2 powerhouse so George Mason struggling to beat them MAY not be that bad. Mason should have invited a weaker D2 team!!

The A10 lost all 4 OOC games yesterday, but I was encouraged by the play of St.Joe's, they lost in OT against Auburn but poor execution in the final seconds when St.Joe's had the lead cost them. FQ mentioned George Mason barely beating Queens College, Mason may have benefitted from the refs not calling a foul on the final possession, it looked like a Mason committed a foul on the game's final possession.

#6 Kansas vs St.Joe's     2:00    FS1  - this could be a bad spot for St.Joe's as Kansas was somewhat embarrassed by Gonzaga yesterday and may take their frustrations out on St.Joe's
George Mason vs Belmont   2  ESPN3  -  Belmont blew out Makur Maker and Howard yesterday. Makur was okay in his debut, he had 11pts/8rebs/1blk and 5 turnovers
Navy at Maryland           3  Big 10 Network - we get to see real quick how legit Navy is and whether or not we should all be discouraged about how GW lost to them!!  Navy also plays Georgetown in a couple days
VCU vs. Memphis           9   ESPN2

Farleigh Dickinson at #24 Rutgers    7   Big 10 Network - When is the last time Rutgers started a season ranked?? It's looks like Pikiell, Hobbs and TJ Thompson has actually resurrected Rutgers basketball
Howard vs Queens College               5  ESPN3 - this is for those of you who want to see 5-star freshman Makur or even Queens College. This is part of a round-robin tournament at the D.C. Convention Center, Howard will play George Mason tomorrow. 


 

The Dude,  the Auburn-Gonzaga game actually started at 11AM, and it looks like Gonzaga is going to run them out of the gym, they lead 26-16 at the moment!! Everyone was right about how good Gonzaga is, and Few was finally able to sign a 5-star, top 10 player(who usually signs with Kentucky, Kansas or Duke) in Jalen Suggs, and you see how dominant the team is!! Gonzaga doesn't appear to have any weakness...great point guard play, athletic wing players and a dominant big man!!

Harper Jr does have the size and athleticism for the NBA, but may not have been consistent. It's good that he came back, going to an NBA when you are not guaranteed to be a lottery pick is not a good move in my opinion.
