Opening weekend takeaways: Zags rally vs. Sparty; Emoni Bates goes off; 3 ranked teams upset: Vols, Nova, Oregon (College Basketball 11/13)

The first weekend of the college basketball season is done. So, what did we learn? Well, Gonzaga can win on an aircraft carrier, for one. (Michigan State is now 0-2 on huge ships.) Parrish and Norlander open on Friday night's big game, then turn their attention to Emoni Bates' huge game and near-win against Michigan. Three ranked teams were unseated over the weekend, too. Which was the most concerning: Nova falling to Temple, Oregon losing to UC Irvine or Tennessee getting run by Colorado? Norlander also has a whiparound of notable results, including some love for the SWAC. The guys close with a preview of Tuesday's slate, led by the Champions Classic.
