OTHER NOTABLE GAMES

-Youngstown State @ Pittsburgh – Youngstown State is expected to be one of the better teams in the Horizon League this year, and while they may be overmatched in this one, Pitt better not just overlook them

-Oakland @ Michigan – Oakland will make some noise in the Horizon League this year, and while they are probably way overmatched tonight, it’s still at least a somewhat interesting regional matchup

The Basket Under Review Staff's "My Guys & Teams" for 2025-2026--Basket Under Review

Jordan Majewski

My Guys of 2025-26:

  • I'm going to end with Amar Augillard at Milwaukee. Augillard's season at Fresno State didn't end on a pleasant note, but man, he was a comet for those 10.5 games he was there. Bart Lundy has lacked shooting the past two seasons, and he certainly addressed that with Augillard and frosh Stevie Elam. Augillard might outpace former Panther BJ Freeman in terms of shot rate in this system with that itchy shooting hand.

Teams Of The Week Primer: Preseason Edition with Offseason Awards--Basket Under Review

OFFSEASON TEAM AWARDS

Since I had the daily task of calling schools all over the country to this past spring and summer for scheduling exercises, I also started forming opinions as to who "won" the offseason compared to my initial expectations. So, in true Teams of the Week fashion, here is who wins the awards:

Oakland - Preseason Horizon POTY Tuburu Naivalurua is ready to give the legendary Greg Kampe yet another magic carpet ride. The Golden Grizzlies also convinced Nassim Mashour to come back for another year. All of this is refreshing to see after Oakland was gutted one offseason ago, following its near-Sweet 16 run. One of the several amazing Kampe attributes is his ability to adapt to change. He proved that this offseason in keeping these two core pieces and finding older portal players, even via D2 and NAIA, to mold in with Tuburu and Nassim. Oakland has the chops to dance again following a true rebuilding year.

C Games

#221 Robert Morris at #46 Iowa (-18), 8:30 PM ET, BTN. This is the debut for Ben McCollum, Bennett Stirtz, and the gang at Iowa. Bobby Mo is an intriguing matchup for them as Andy Toole's made it pretty clear he wants to push the pace, which is easier said than done against McCollum.
