Reigning champ Florida flew to Vegas for the Hall Of Fame kickoff with its entire Title core frontline and brand new shiny scoring/shooting guards and Arizona behind their senior PG and freshman PF held their own, and, in fact, dominated that frontline inside as the pair went for 57 points without a single 3FG attempt.
Koa, the freshman PG, made NCAA history with a debut, becoming the first known freshman to go for 30-5-5 with 4 stocks in a debut in the “modern” era since 1980, and, some reports say maybe ever thanks to older rules regarding freshman redshirts.
He finished with 30 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 1 block on excellent shooting, got to the line for 12 FTA, and in general controlled the lane with his down hill off the dribble attacks. By my tally he should have had 7 assists.
His game and frame remind me of Corliss Williamson, maybe mixed with a little loser Julius Randle, absent the 3-ball.
Interesting prospect.
BYU escaped late, UCLA escaped late, Auburn survived OT, so outside of Florida I think most ranked teams won.
