Father Cardinal

There was only one true quality matchup the first weekend of the season: the Father-Son coaching clash of Louisville(Rick Pitino Sr.) and Minnesota(Richard Pitino Jr.) in the ARMED FORCES CLASSIC at Coast Guard Air Station BORINQUEN in Aguadilla, PUERTO RICO. fMontrezl Harrell delivered this year's first star turn with 30p7r, adding some outside jumpers to his physical play in the post as the Cardinals handled the Golden Gophers, 81-68.

    
Harvard got more than it could handle its city-rivalry matchup with Holy Cross, falling 57-58 as part of the COACHES VS CANCER [BOSTON] CLASSIC triple-header at the Garden. Worse than that, Memphis found a way to drop a home exhibition game, @70-74(OT) to {Christian Brothers} -- Yikes.

    
Iowa State's fGeorges Niang posted 30p9r5a in a @93-82 win over Oakland (despite 25p8r6a from fCorey Petros) in a WarmUp game in the CBE HALL OF FAME CLASSIC. (None of this year's crop of SuperFrosh had a monster debut in his first collegiate game.)

    
Boise State was an Unwelcome Guest champ of the LION CLASSIC, winning 77-@69 over host Loyola Marymount in the final. Meanwhile, host Army made the ALL-MILITARY CLASSIC a home showcase with a @92-86 final win over VMI.

Michigan State appears to be the Poor Relation at this year's CHAMPIONS CLASSIC double-header in Indianapolis -- the Spartans didn't add any can't-miss newcomers to a roster that lost three starters from last year's Elite 8/tourney champs; Kentucky is so loaded (7-0 cKarl-Anthony Towns et al.) that coach John Calipari has started the season using a platoon system (a "Blue Team" starting five swapped out entirely for a "White Team" second five); both Duke (7-0 cJahlil Okafor) and Kansas (6-8 fCliff Alexander) need their newcomers to lead the way immediately.

    
The BATTLE 4 ATLANTIS features five ranked teams (Wisconsin, North Carolina, Florida, Oklahoma, UCLA) in its 8-team field; not far behind are DIAMOND HEAD (Wichita State, Colorado, Nebraska, plus George Washington) and MAUI (Arizona, BYU, plus San Diego State, Kansas State). Elsewhere, its only the expected finals that offer much high-profile matchups: COACHES VS CANCER (Duke-Stanford), 2KS (Texas-Syracuse), NIT SEASON TIP-OFF (Gonzaga-Minnesota), LEGENDS (Villanova-VCU semifinal), LAS VEGAS[THANKSGIVING] (Memphis-Illinois).
