Early Season Overreactions

The Good

1- Ben Simmons of LSU looks like the best freshman since Anthony Davis. The Nets could get the 1st pick but alas, the Celtics own that pick. That's Celtics fans cheering for each Nets loss.

2- George Washington downed Virginia and will be favorites in the rest of their games until they enter A-10 league play. Might be the A-10 favorite 

3- Indiana and Butler are representing the Hoosier state nicely to start the year. Indiana might have the most dynamic offense in the land and Butler looks like Villanova's top competition in the Big East

The Bad

1- Rhode Island saw their A-10 title hopes take a massive blow before the season really began with the loss of EC Matthews. The Rams were poised for a breakthrough but will be hard pressed to make that move now.

2- UCLA losing to Monmouth at home, Georgetown losing to Radford at home, FSU losing to Hofstra. Lots of bad losses early.

3- The state of Wisconsin's top two programs are off to poor starts. Wisconsin lost at home to Western Illinois and continue a recent trend of playing mediocre defense. Marquette needed overtime for their one win over IUPUI. They've been terrible on defense and offense so they've been consistent.
