Preseason NCAA Basketball Poll is released

The UCONN game looks damn tight still

EDIT: Oh well...

On another note, Way to go Mich State and Florida...

...and WVU. Nice job guys:D

damnit damnit damnit

What the hell?

[ousooner]

The Sooners were 9-21 behind the arc tonight and scored a whopping 82 points. If this keeps up the Big 12 better watch out. I know it was only Baylor, but it's a start.

[ousooner]

What's with the home losses tonight? West Virginia and NC State.

[HolyCow]

Texas this saturday! The LNC will be crazy!

I think me and my brother are heading that way Saturday. We don't have tickets, but I'm assuming they'll be selling standing room only tickets as they normally do.

Edit: Do you know of any nonstudent tickets available?

By all appearances, it will be as sold out as possible.

You coming to Gameday?

Hey, if they can step up and hit outside shots against anybody it's an improvement.

[seekupig]

if there was any doubt left over who the best conference is, there shouldn't be any more. the Big East is heads and tails above every other conference out there. i've been one of their doubters for awhile and just wanted to give credit where it's due.

[seekupig]

just looked at the schedule, OU travels to Lawrence next weekend. 1:00 EST on Super Bowl Sunday, that'll be a great way to get the pre-party rolling, should be a good one. :thumbsup

[SteelerMan]

I agree... the Big East is definitely the best conference this year. I also think the ACC, while perhaps more competitive than ever (besides Duke), is WEAK this year.

Syracuse University has set an NCAA single-game attendance record two of the last three seasons. It appears the Carrier Dome will set yet another mark this season.

With more than 30,000 already sold for the regular-season finale against Villanova on March 5, the record is well within reach. And with momentum building for lone senior Gerry McNamara's final appearance in the Dome and for a matchup against Final Four-contender Villanova, it seems only a Central New York snowstorm could keep a record-setting crowd away.

[Minarets19]

damn, we look bad. UNC is definitely struggling. i am still unsure if we are playing at our potential now and played over our heads early on, or just the opposite. what i have seen the last 3 games is what i expected to see...what everyone expected out of this team, however what they did early on raised those expectations...

still cant wait for next year with our freshamn class. they will be young and damn good

Yeah, I can't wait. That's my favorite game of the year. Most OU fans have OSU and Texas as their top games, but I've always loved the Kansas game. Kansas is the measuring stick. I can't remember the last time we won in Lawrence. Do Kansas fans think anything of OU or ever consider it a big game?

Edit: Favorite OU game of the year. Nothing beats Duke-UNC.

[seekupig]

Do Kansas fans think anything of OU or ever consider it a big game?

other than Mizzou, it's probably the biggest game on the schedule.

ever since the '88 National Title game, there has been no love loss between those two teams. makes for some great basktetball. this year the game may actually mean something other than seeding for the Big XII tourney. it may be the "quality win" KU needs for their tournament resume.

[twosteppn36]

That's surprising to hear. I always considered Kansas a rival in hoops, but wasn't sure if KU fans did. If we win we probably won't get any quality win points since KU is down unless they make a good run to end the season, but to me it would be a huge win, especially being on the road. One of my favorites was the 2002 game. The year we both went to the Final Four. I think both teams were ranked in the top 5 at Lawrence we were down 20 and came back to cut it to six and Ebe Era missed good looking 3 pointer that would have cut it to 3 with like six minutes to go and then we could never get any closer. That's when I really started to believe that we had something that year.

[gbs3769]

That's surprising to hear. I always considered Kansas a rival in hoops, but wasn't sure if KU fans did.
Kind of like how Colorado always tried to consider Nebraska a rival in football and we always knew that the big game was Oklahoma.

I read something about a year ago on an OU board, but blew it off thinking it was just a bunch of garbage. But someone was saying that after the '88 game there was a big blow up between some of the OU players on the team bus after the game with some accusing others of throwing the game. They said there was a lot of finger pointing at Ricky Grace who was the point guard on that team. I'm sure it was made up, but I still can't see how we lost that game. OU fans to this day still can't get over that loss. I know it makes me sick every time I think about it.

Last nights game between St John’s and UConn was just like one of those old Big East dogfights, a very tough game from start to finish. Heaven help anyone who got the ball under the basket.
Red Storm coach Norm Roberts has these guys playing very well, any team that has yet to play these guys better be ready for a battle.

Danny Manning beat OU by himelf. that's just one of those games, if you get enough looks at a team from your own conference, you're bound to figure out a way to get it done. 'Nova in 85 over Georgetown, KU in 88 over Oklahoma, etc..

sucked for Oklahoma because they were clearly the better team that year. they just ran into a great player on a great night playing in his own backyard. shit happens.

Yep, I think some OU fans still can't come to grips with it and are still looking for ways to justify it.

Edit: I think what makes it so much tougher is that we have never won a national title in basketball. Sure it sucks to lose any championship game, but in football at least we can still fall back on the seven we've won. Hoops we got nothin'.

It doesn’t get any easier for you guys does it?
I think Coach Boeheim has a legitimate gripe about your schedule. There are not too many easy games this year in the Big East, but looking at the rest of your games you don’t get to catch much of a breath between some pretty tough teams.
Just remember, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger :rolleyes
Good luck !

[gbs3769]

It doesn’t get any easier for you guys does it?
Scheduling this year has been a bitch. And while I hate how we haven't caught a break in our scheduling, it's inexcusable to be unable to pick up wins against top 10 teams, particularly when we want to be considered an elite program.

Come on Shelden and JJ... I hope they come out and play some f**kin D tonight.

Alright heres the gameplan... Shelden... if you take your shoe and GRIND away at VT's centers calf... we will win. If that doesnt work just wave a gun at the squad.

i'm hoping that KU can sneak in as an 8 or 9 seed and draw Duke in the second round. then i'll drive down the interstate two hours to Greensboro and watch the game at Cameron Indoor Stadium Vol. 2. Duke would be favored big, but that would be a tough draw in the second round.

[chiznaz]

Tough game against KU last night. It should of been a hell of a lot closer. You can't let the other team go on a 16-0 run to start the second half. KU went to the line I think 44 times and probably made close to 30-35 of them. A&M was horrible at the line and let the game get away first 5 min of the second half. They also couldn't do jack against the zone defense KU started using midway into the 2nd half.

Anyways, KU has some big time athletes. That group of young guys is going to be something to watch. People may be down on Self right now, but just wait and see. They are going to be real, real good.

[UNLTrpt]

it's capacity for basketball games is 9,314. when the idea to build was first proposed, 4,000 was the number they had in mind. that number jumped, then Cameron underwent a renovation in the '80's that allowed for more seating.

http://basketball.ballparks.com/NCAA/ACC/index.htm?Duke/index.htm

that being said, it's still small as hell. that's what makes it so hard to play there. UNC lost a lot of their home court luster when they moved into the Dean Dome.

After Terrell banked the three, it was absolute craziness.
We were first in line for standing room only tickets. We bought two and went in and I looked closer at the tickets and I noticed they were tickets for actual seats. I guess they had a few available. They were in S4 row L which is on the end, but there's really no bad seats. We were just a few rows up from where the Gameday crew was and they were facing our direction, so we could see Reece, Dukie V, Jay, and Dicker plain as day as they were on the air. Since we got seats we were able to get the free tshirts, which was a bonus. Got to love free stuff. Showing up an hour before tickets went on sale paid off.

[HolyCow]

We were first in line for standing room only tickets. We bought two and went in and I looked closer at the tickets and I noticed they were tickets for actual seats. I guess they had a few available. They were in S4 row L which is on the end, but there's really no bad seats. We were just a few rows up from where the Gameday crew was and they were facing our direction, so we could see Reece, Dukie V, Jay, and Dicker plain as day as they were on the air. Since we got seats we were able to get the free tshirts, which was a bonus. Got to love free stuff. Showing up an hour before tickets went on sale paid off.

So do we even make 20 wins this season? The games that we have remaining:

2/01 Rutgers
2/08 @ Connecticut
2/12 @ St. John's
2/15 Cincinnati
2/18 Louisville
2/20 West Virginia
2/25 @ Georgetown
3/02 @ DePaul
3/05 Villanova

We are not going to beat UConn, West Virginia or Villanova. That means we have to win all of our other games, and Rutgers, St. John's, and Georgetown are going to be pretty tough on their own.

- Primo

[gbs3769]

Syracuse's current four-game losing streak is just the third in Boeheim's 30-year tenure. The Orange also lost four in a row in both the 1991-92 and 2001-02 seasons.

In 2001-2002 we went to the NIT.
In 1991-1992 we were a #6 seed in the NCAA and lost in the second round.

Right now we need to find our offense or we are going to end up just like the 2001-2002 team.

Kansas is playing A LOT better right now than they were a few weeks ago. there problem all year had been scoring points. that problem seems to have disappeared. i wouldn't write them off just yet. a team that's loaded with freshmen and sophomores takes time to come around.

i love the big east the way it is....competitive basketball at its best. and about the tourney and cinderella stories...theres still 12 teams in the big east tourney which is good because you have to earn your way to the tourney during conference play. i think anywhere from a 10-12 seed in the big east would still be cinderella...and no, its not good for SU this year, but every team has an off year

[smeritt]

It doesnt help they got hit with one of the hardest runs in college basketball. They had what 3 straight games against ranked opponents in the top 10 that were televised. That's all anyone cares about these days televising and making money not worried about the game. But thats not to say that SU played like shit. They wouldve lost against anyone going down 10 or 12 to nothing against any opponent

I honestly havent seen a squad minus MAYBE WVU... that hustles anywhere close to how Duke hustles. Its like they have the same amount of fuggin energy if not more... throughout the entire game.

They NEVER stop going 120%... I look at teams like UConn and Florida and they look lazy compared to the Devils.

not to make this a racial issue, but it's called the "cracker factor".

Royce, let me clarify that last post for you. i wasn't :lol at your claim that OU plays hard. it was simply in response to what i thought was going to happen, actually happening. every fan see's there team as playing hard. i knew it was a matter of time before the hardcore fans jumped on here and start saying "watch {insert your team here} play". i know that OU plays hard, so please don't think i was laughing at their effort. the last thing i need is for you OU fans ganging up on me before sundays game. :thumbsup

Oh, I know. I would never see OU's hustle unless I was a fan.

All I know is that Kansas never hustles. I think they just stand around and hope one of their McDonald All-Americans scores....;)

I just got home from class. How did we look tonight?

Edit: Only an 8 point win at home. That doesn't do much for my confidence level going into this weekend.

Meh. Meh is the best I can describe it.

We would look great for 5 possessions and then look awful for 5. We got up by 14, then let them get to within 3.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT, c'mon Melchi!

[ExistenceNow]

BC just got a huge fucking steal (or rather Duke just made a HUGE turnover)... down 3 with the ball and 21 secons left. If you're not watching... turn it on NOW.

Hey, you know how I feel about that team. I'll let you know when it's ok to talk about that group ;) . That's been OU's basketball slogan for several years now.

WOW.... you all WATCHING THIS GAME!???

Duke has made quite a few mistakes... but DAMN this is a battle. Knew it all along this shit would be close in the end.
