Week 1 Matchups I'm Looking Forward To

[Kace-1]

College Basketball season has finally arrived and not a moment too soon. I recall the season usually starting on a Friday, but I'll take a Tuesday start. Villanova is ready to defend their National Championship while Michigan, Kansas, and Loyola-Chi look to keep some momentum going into the season after their Final 4 appearances to close out the 2018 campaign.

These are the games I'm most interested in for each day from Tuesday to Monday. Other tastes may vary so feel free to post your list as well.

Tuesday
Morgan State at Villanova; 7pm ET; FS1

Wednesday
Ohio State at Cincinnati; 6pm ET; ESPN2

Thursday
Chicago State at Notre Dame; 7pm ET; ACCN/ESPN3

Friday
Furman at Loyola-Chi; 8pm ET; ESPN3

Saturday
Quinnipiac at Villanova; 8pm ET; FS2

Sunday
Army at Duke; 1pm ET; ESPN

Monday
Vermont at Kansas; 9pm ET; ESPN2

[uncfan in ky]

Tuesday: UNC at Wofford
Wednesday: Ohio St at Cincinnati
Thursday: Nicholis at Louisville
Friday: UNC at Elon ( UNC plays true road games the 1st 2 games of the year)
Saturday: Holy Cross at Michigan
Sunday: Florida St at Tulane

I'm pleasantly surprised Chicago State can still afford to have a program. I recall them being in some kind of financial straits a year or so back.

Believe there is a game or two in Indianapolis on Tuesday that should be pretty fun to watch. Not sure those 2 games reach the level of other games mentioned here but might be worth watching.

I'll likely wind up checking out Duke/Kentucky, but I'm always interested in how the defending National Champions start up their followup act, complete with banner raising and whatnot.

Congrats on playing two juggernauts from the Southern Conference. I'm sure you guys are just hoping to split the pair of road games.

UNC plays its 2nd true road game on November 9th.
Dook plays its 2nd true road game on January 12th.

Nobody made you comment on my post. Don’t get mad because K schedules like a bitch.

Seriously? This is your list? What's wrong with you?

I'm going to hold you to this. On Tuesday while we're all watching Kentucky vs Kansas. UNC vs Wofford, FL vs FLSt, Duke vs MSU, BYU vs Nevada and WKU vs Washington I expect you to post minute by minute game updates from Nova vs Morgan State.

Same thing on Friday with Furman vs Loyola Chicago while the rest of us are watching Buffalo vs WVA, LSU vs UNCG, Washington vs Auburn, Texas vs Arkansas, Southern Il vs Kentucky.

You seem very proud about your schedule. I'm happy for you, bro.

I wouldn’t even watch Furman vs Loyola-Chicago if they both somehow met in the Final Four.

It was very stupid on your part to try & make fun of another teams schedule. Dook fans should stay away from that.

You seem rustled.

Extremely. I'm losing sleep over it, actually.

Not sure why you even responded in the 1st place. Good luck tomorrow night.

Towson vs Virginia- Can back-to back mid major schools in Maryland take down Virginia

 

[Kace-1]

I expect you to post minute by minute game updates from Nova vs Morgan State.

I plan on doing game threads if able, tomorrow night especially.

I'm wondering how much of a bad taste the Cavaliers still have after that debacle in the Dance.
