Early season tournaments
Did you miss some of the college hoops action this week? Yeah, me too. That’s what happens when you visit family for Thanksgiving.
Thankfully, Ballin’ Is a Habit has you and me covered. It’s all there, from the standout players to tournament recaps and the big storylines.
You know, stuff like UCLA’s struggles, Gonzaga’s star turn in Maui, Willie Warren’s benching, Duke’s surprisingly one-sided win over UConn and a mention of perhaps the Big Ten’s best player Manny Harris.
And for those curious about the plethora of upsets thus far, the guys over at the Mid-Majority have an entertaining back-and-forth regarding the Red Line (what they refer to as an upset because of how the money falls in college hoops).
According to their numbers, there have been 57 upsets of the six power conferences, the A-10 and C-USA thus far. They didn't hit that number until Dec. 6 last season.
So read up, because the ACC-Big Ten Challenge is just a few hours away. And that means a lot more hoops to watch.
Sometimes I have more to say on Twitter (@BeyndArcMMiller), which is strange because it only allows you to write 140 characters at a time. So check it out.
