Opening night High Point at VPI

1) The Gobblers might be looking past my Panthers as they face Iowa a few days later.

2) VPI embarrassed us over in High Point last year, so revenge might be on the menu

3. I believe that the Final Four banner will be unveiled that evening, can they come off that excitement by tip off time?

Big Cats love roasted Turkey

Isn't SoCal v Ohio State a future Big Ten match up too?

I'm curious to see how the eight newcomers mix with the returning veterans for NC State vs. UCONN. Saniya Rivers said in pre-season she plans to serve in more of a leadership role this year and we'll need it early.

@awhom will we be able to obtain European ( or even French) TV viewership numbers?

@From France

Has this game been receiving any press or coverage in France?

Is it going to be broadcast live by tv in France?

Is it a mere novelty that is receiving little if any attention in France?

An hour into the season and I'm ready to make a declaration. Duke may be better than last year, definitely a top 25 team at least. Shout out to @triaddukefan . They hit their freshman class out of the park. I didn't remember they had Delaney Thomas. I remember hearing about her years ago when she hooped with Azzi Fudd

Almost 3/4 of the way through the ND/SCar game. I think both teams are where I expected them to be to start the season.

JuJu Watkins(the real deal) has 16 points at the half. Plus 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block in USC's 46-28 lead at the half. Game is on Tru TV

I had to turn off that Little Carolina game.. That was an arse kicking a monkey stomping. Hope there weren't anyone under the age of 18 in the audience.

December 3rd might not be much fun.

I'm curious to how much ND will move down in the rankings and how much SCar will move up. Is SCar really that much better than ND? I expected SCar to win by 10+, but didn't expect them to win by 30. ND has a lot of work to do.

I know its game one but South Carolina and USC look pretty scary. And, on the flip side Notre Dame and Ohio State are struggling to score which was kind of a concern coming into the season for both teams. Bight spot for ND is both Hannah Hidalgo and Nat Marshall. Marshall has been great in her minutes.
