Not sure there are many teams that can match up size wise with Florida but Miami is certainly one of them. So much size and athleticism which have made scoring inside difficult for the Gators so far.
Florida at Miami. Battle for Supremacy in the Sunshine State. An opportunity for the Canes to grab a win over the #1 ranked team in the sport.
Let’s Do This.
The 24 Hour Marathon is never going to be what it was back in the day where you have on campus games going on all day. That said, have to give credit to the teams and the Field of 68 for putting on this version with so many good Mid Major matchups throughout the day.

Notre Dame won in Rome, grabbing the first big win of the season, as they move into the field in my latest daily Bracketology.
🤖 Made with AI
Notre Dame wins the Eternal City Tip Off by beating Villanova 74-72. Braeden Smith led the Irish with 16, Braeden Shrewsberry had 15. A terrific first win of the season for Micah Shrewsberry as he hopes to get the Irish into the Tournament.
In theory losing Burton and Haralson were supposed to make this team worse but this team has fully bought into early offense and valuing possessions.
Villanova leads Notre Dame 35-31 at the half. Kwame Evans has made such a great impact because of his switchability and shot blocking at the 5 to slow this Irish offense.
Luigi Suigo is going to be a fascinating watch this season. There’s going to be matchups he’s going to dominate, that said Villanova might be better without him in other games like they have been today.
Villanova-Notre Dame. The Eternal City Tip Off. Bill Raftery on the call.
Let’s tip off this College Basketball season.
The College Basketball season is officially here! It is time for my Official Preseason Bracketology. This will mark the first of my daily Bracketology.
SEC Predictions
1.Florida - Haugh, Condon and Chinyelu will continue to be a wagon up front, Fland and the other guards will determine whether they win a title.
2.Vanderbilt - Tyler Tanner is the best guard in the league, Byington is great, and they have great rotation pieces.
3.Arkansas - The best freshman class with Smith, Toure, Andrews, and Muurinen, look for this team to be great talent wise.
4.Texas - Vokie, Punch, and Spears will be an elite front line, the guards will determine its ceiling
5.Alabama - Holloway and Allen will be great guards, while Oats’ offense will continue to make Alabama quite good.
6.Kentucky - Momcilovic and Moreno are NBA level players already, if the backcourt sets them up they’ll be pretty good.
7.Tennessee - Harris, Hill, and Ames make for a great backcourt offensively but how does this team defend?
8.Texas A&M - Haggerty will be able to put up his stats, while the depth for Bucky will work out well.
9.Georgia - Blue Cain and Marcus Millender make a good backcourt that should get the Bulldogs back in the dance.
10.Missouri - Crowe Jr is an exciting freshman, while Mitchell and Tiller will raise their floor.
11.Oklahoma - Decent roster that better get into the Tournament now that it’s a 76 team tournament.
12.Auburn - Pettiford will be the go-to guard, while Steven Pearl has the talent to dance.
13.LSU - I have no idea who’s playing but could be good.
14.Ole Miss - Chris Beard doesn’t necessarily have great talent but I guess they could dance.
15.Mississippi State - Josh Hubbard will average 20 PPG once again
16.South Carolina - Women’s College Basketball School.
