Opening Day Recap: UCLA, Florida, Memphis Surging; OU Loses Stunner

About this episode

College basketball is officially back, and we've already had plenty of action to break down! Evan is joined by Brian Rauf of Basket Under Review to discuss the biggest storylines from the opening games of the season, including UCLA's impressive upset of No. 5 Arizona, Florida's dominant win over Miami, Memphis taking down Iowa State, BYU's explosive offensive performance against Ohio State, and Oklahoma's shocking loss to East Texas A&M. They also discuss Gonzaga's early-season questions surrounding Davis Fogle, the teams and players who made the biggest impressions, and why this could be the year we see Cinderella and mid-major programs make a bigger impact on the college basketball landscape. Plus, Evan and Brian share their dumbest career injuries and look ahead to what's coming next in the college basketball season. Chapters (00:00) Intro (02:03) Brian Rauf joins the show!
