Seton Hall blows a 19 point lead and loses to Oregon. Powell missed two consecutive shots late (not including rye half court shot at the end) and Oregon got lucky.

They looked great initially and then awful, they can be beat. DePaul looked good. Big East looking like a parity conference

Wheels really falling off for Providence. They lose to LBSU as 20 point favs. That's two sub-100 losses and now a sub-250 loss for them. Rough.

Gtown doing themselves no favors. UNCG is good but that's a game Gtown has to win at home if they wanna be in tournament discussion. They have to win 2 out of their next 3 that are all at least mildly tough games.

Providence's season is pretty much already over despite them entering the season with tournament aspirations as well.

Meanwhile DePaul is 8-0 with 3 decent to good road wins already. Big test for them Wednesday at home against Texas Tech who might be down one of their best players.

Akinjo and LeBlanc transferring from Georgetown. What was supposed to be a big season for Gtown is turning into a train wreck.

That’s probably a loss Georgetown can’t recover from, but if they do, and they end up having a good season, Ewing may earn some cred as a coach.

Right now, he’s effectively matched Chris Mullin.

Crushing for them. It's still early in the season but they didn't look nearly as cohesive as they did last year and a lot of that starts with Akinjo. Would love to know what went down behind the scenes.

Yep, apparently Ewing had no choice but to dismiss them so we'll see if anything comes out about what they did.

Akinjo is not one of the 3. He transferred for other reasons it seems. Read the link in this tweet: https://twitter.com/MattNorlander/status/1201703198307897350?s=19

I wanted Josh LeBlanc too. Him and Galen Alexander were both teammates of Greg Williams.

Pretty wild at Georgetown. I really thought they were a top 3 team in conference this year.

DePaul just hits a 3 to force OT with Texas Tech. Really close game the whole way. Entertaining. DePaul looks like a tourney candidate this year.

Great overtime win for DePaul coming back again. What a game. Signature win for that program and Leitao.

Ain’t no Tariq Owens on this Texas Tech team. DePaul acted like they just made the final four.

Texas Tech is about as good as Umass right now.

Doesn't sound like you watched the game? If you did you would've seen one of the most competitive, back and forth games of the entire early college hoops season. Of course DePaul is celebrating. This is their best start since Reagan was in office. DePaul is a borderline Top 25 team right now with some big early season wins.

Texas Tech would wipe the floor with UMass. The clutch shot making (mostly from 3) late from both teams last night was big-time.

Tech's defense and coaching still very good.

Tech’s best player was questionable. Wasn’t expected to play. Have no idea if he did

One of their best players, Ramsey, was out. Shannon, their other best player, was on fire last night playing in front of his hometown crowd. Both frosh too.
