Bronny James scored 10 points in 18 minutes versus now 4-10 Cal and it is listed second on ESPN.com's Top Headlines https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...ores-10-vs-cal

I am glad he is healthy to play and I hope he does well (he scored 15 in the previous game), but still find coverage like this to be funny -- even if not unpredictable

Also, for what it is worth, USC is 7-7 so far. Isaiah Collier averaging 14.9 points, 4.4 assists, 2.6 rebounds, 1.3 steals. Fellow former UC recruit Arrinten Page is playing a modest 11.3 minutes per game with a 3.2 point and 2.3 rebound average.

Former Houston Cougar turned FSU Seminole turned Memphis Tiger apparently suffered a bad knee injury last night in the Tigers' narrow win versus Tulsa. Don't miss those Tulsa battles, but feel badly for Mills. Memphis is off to a great start, currently #15 in the AP Poll though lower/around UC in the NET and KenPom.

Houston is the last remaining unbeaten

#1 Purdue and #2 (and previously unbeaten) Houston both went down last night

#1 Purdue and #2 (and previously unbeaten) Houston both went down last night

Four to the top five have lost this week -- #1 Purdue, #2 Houston, #3 Kansas, #5 Tennessee.

The lone winner? #4 UConn ... at Xavier last night. X is now 7-8.

How about UCF surprising everyone!? Congrats to the Knights players and coaches. Ugh, now their fans will be even more unbearable

USC’s Isaiah Collier is expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks due to a hand injury sustained in the game against Washington State on Wednesday.

Mick took his Bruins to SLC tonight and they took an absolute butt-kicking at the hands of the Utes, 90-44. His team not only are losing badly, they're boring. That's a bad combination. That will lead to (if not already) local indifference.

The Bruins came into the game at #106 in KenPom, with an offensive efficiency of #216. They seem destined to finish at the bottom of what's left of the PAC-12.

Sheesh. Talk about rock bottom.

One of UCLA's starters (Stefanovic) averaged 10, 3, & 3 for Utah last season. Gotta imagine he is second-guessing his decision at this point.

Wow! That is a horrible butt kicking. Where's the offense??????????????

Dropped to 118 in KenPom (237 in offensive effiency)

NET? Dropped from 176 to 209. Among power conference teams, the only ones I see lower than 209:
- Louisville (233 -- just won at Miami earlier this week)
- DePaul (291 - led by former UC assistant Tony Stubblefield)

The B1G sure is picking up a gem with UCLA next year. I wonder when Mick will be added to the coaching carousel.

OK, this is on the womens side but I don't think I've ever seen a team cancel two games for lack of players outside of 2019-20. TCU does not have enough players to field a team at K-State or Iowa St over the next week. I was expecting COVID or illness or something but it's injuries. Open tryouts for walk ons will be held.
