Preseason NCAA Basketball Poll is released

[Third Floor]

free throw shooting doesnt win you POY.
anyways. im at the joel til after the game. so enjoy.

[bustdstuff]

free throw shooting doesnt win you POY.
anyways. im at the joel til after the game. so enjoy.

But when you put it all together:

PPG 20.4 FG% .427 FT% .945 3PT% .391

[clayj41]

McCants isn't as scoring as much, but his shooting numbers are impressive.

PPG: 16.5 FG%: 51 3PT%: 46 FT%: 74

Jawad Williams has really stepped up though.

PPG: 16.9 FG%: 64 3PT%: 42 FT%: 81 RPG: 6.5

[bustdstuff]

I think there is a really good shot that POY comes out of the ACC.

[clayj41]

I think there is a really good shot that POY comes out of the ACC.

:thumbsup

[seekupig]

Wayne Simien........PPG 16.9, RPG 11.6

averaging a solid double double. now if he can stay healthy and keep up those numbers he'll have a shot.

as far as UNC goes, Raymond Felton should be their POY candidate. they can't seem to win without him................;)

[RMinor205]

Gotta give it up for Syracuse. They are the best team in the nation every year in my opinion, and Boehein will go down next to Dean Smith and Jimmy V when it's said and done.

Every year eh?

I know everyone has an opinion and all but, your opinion is actually, well, wrong.

You know that we talk serious basketball here right?:rolleyes

WTF! How can Syracuse be the best team every year. They won one championship for God's sake.

[bustdstuff]

I thought all fans know that Sportsnation is running a couple of things about Duke today. Yes it applies to all because you can rank not only your favorite Blue Devils, but your least favorite. I find it amusing that the Cameron Crazies are the #2 least favorite Devils. :lol

[haildmb]

here we go, Go Deacs!

[RJ2kWJ]

here we go, Go Deacs!
I hope so.

[bustdstuff]

Good game so far. Don't forget CBS has Syarcuse(best team in the country:freak)/Providence.

Edit: Miami just beat FSU 64-63

[haildmb]

VT just beat clemson, 59-57

[bustdstuff]

Wake up by 8!?!?!

[Gregb486]

ough, gw went on a 17-0 run, forced OT, lost with .4 left in ot

[haildmb]

holy shit, anyone see what just happened in the Indiana/Purdue game?! that was wild

[300xxx]

for a team that only shoots 65% ft's they made everyone, feltons hurt thats bad news

[haildmb]

yeah Deacs!

I want felton playing though, I don't want all the carowhina fans claiming the only reason they lost is cause he's hurt. Although apparently the Santa Clara game showed he's the most important player on the team :lol

If they lose this game, they'll have lost every road game they've played. So I haven't been dreaming in thinking I haven't seen unc play away from home

[bustdstuff]

holy shit, anyone see what just happened in the Indiana/Purdue game?! that was wild

No what happened? Other than they're in the 2nd overtime.

[haildmb]

No what happened? Other than they're in the 2nd overtime.


IU up by 2, Purdue throws the inbound full court with about 2-3 secs left, guy right under the basket somehow catches it, dribbles once and puts it up, makes it and gets fouled

Obviously he missed the shot since you saw the 2nd OT, but it was wild

[bustdstuff]

Providence is down by 4. How crazy would it be if they beat Syracuse?

[haildmb]

Providence is down by 4. How crazy would it be if they beat Syracuse?


Well since Syracuse is the best team in basketball, every year, it'd be pretty crazy :lol

[bustdstuff]

McCants just got jis fourth with about 18:30 to go. And this Providence game is gonna be a great finish. 2:23 to go

[haildmb]

wow, wow, wow Wake looks good

[twosteppn36]

Gotta give it up for Syracuse. They are the best team in the nation every year in my opinion, and Boehein will go down next to Dean Smith and Jimmy V when it's said and done.


put the crackpipe away. we've still got a long way to go if they wanna contend with top teams

[bustdstuff]

:thumbsup :lol :thumbsup

[bustdstuff]

North Carolina's down by 10 and felton just missed one from the line

[twosteppn36]

:thumbsup :lol :thumbsup


dont get me wrong, this team is gonna go far into the tourney...you can count on that especially with edelin getting more minutes lately..but seeing how they couldnt handle full court pressure today, they might wanna practice that :lol


oh, and teach warrick how to make a god damn free throw

[bustdstuff]

Oh I'm not downing your team. I particularly liked the "get off the crackpipe" part.

[RJ2kWJ]

This Wake game is off the HOOK! Is this the same team that played Illinois?

Nope, this is the team that I predicted pre-season to win the National Championship ;)

Look who decided to join us today.

[clayj41]

Its not looking good.

Ya think? UNC still won't drop out of the top 10.

[haildmb]

No, not with the win against Ga. Tech under their belts.

Sorry I was glued to the TV. :D

This will be a tough game for the B-devils on the 2nd in Winston Salem.

True, at least we'll have Randolph back. I'm gonna have to go over to goduke to see about johnson's shoulder.

[haildmb]

yeah Deacs, great game

[clayj41]

Well I give Wake props. They were the better team...today. Chris Paul was unbelievable. My only beef is that they only play each other once this year.

it's fans like you in syracuse that make me sick.. you're the type of fan that walks out the door with 5 minutes to go when we're down by 15.. get out of here with that crap :twak

[bustdstuff]

Well I give Wake props. They were the better team...today. Chris Paul was unbelievable. My only beef is that they only play each other once this year.

Wake looked really good today. UNC got themselves in foul trouble pretty early in the game. And I am definetly on the ACC expansion sucks bandwagon.

[bustdstuff]

Dude on that comment you need to just take whatever crap you brought with you and get out of our thread. You don't even remember Duke losing to UNLV in '90 or Duke ruining UNLV's perfect season in '91.

[bustdstuff]

RMinor in case you haven't been reading this thread we don't jump on people for anything. Especially when you don't know what you're talking about. We civily talk about college basketball wether it's our team or not we are always respectful. It doesn't seem like you can do that.

[bustdstuff]

and you were how old then?

12 and 13. And had just started playing basketball.

Hey all i said was I "personally" think syracuse is the best team, but thats my own opinion cause they're my favorite. when twosteppin told me to put my crackpipe away, thats when i took offense

[RMinor205]

so talk to me about respect later on buddy

[bustdstuff]

Hey all i said was I "personally" think syracuse is the best team, but thats my own opinion cause they're my favorite. when twosteppin told me to put my crackpipe away, thats when i took offense


That was a prime example of sarcasm

[RMinor205]

Oh and by the way, since all you guys are talkin about Harrison and McNabb. Syracuse had the first black Heisman trophy winner: Ernie Davis, the original #44

[haildmb]

yo john, what tickets would u rather have, ure from duke/nc st or mine tomorrow, 50 yd line, 200 level, 2nd row.......


haha, yours tomorrow, I've seen Duke play nc state plenty of times :)

because you're an idiot

[300xxx]

its amazing how different a team can look........i saw wake when they were up here against temple, and did not look impressive at all.......temple has that thing though, cause they did the same against duke and today at maryland......cheyney is a hell of coach considering how small the program is and the talent that he never had........32 out of 32 foul shoots is very impressive though, in a big game when ure team normally shoots 65%

[bustdstuff]

because you're an idiot

he'd have to actually read the thread to see that we have a sense of humor

Sometimes teams like WF play down to their competition (not quite overlook, just not play as hard as they could), and also play up to their competition.

And he's gonna have to put the crackpipe down if he wants to talk intelligently about basketball.

Oops. I said it.

[haildmb]

Let's see, just today, you've said that Syracuse is the best basketball team, every year.

And, that the miami hurricanes could whoop USC, in football. I rest my case.

so did duke play down to temple......

[bustdstuff]

So back to our regularly scheduled basketball topic. Anyone else watching KU/Colorado?

:thumbsup

[bustdstuff]

so did duke play down to temple......

Ehhh. Maybe a little. To stick up for both teams 1) Temple plays a defense that Duke has trouble with 2) Temple plays scrappy at the offensive end of the floor 3) Duke was down players (not an excuse, crap happens)

[300xxx]

nah, done with basketball until the NC State/GT game tomorrow. It's football time :)


bj still out tomorrow right? hope thats not on during the birds game

[bustdstuff]

The game doesn't start for another 10-15 minutes.

[haildmb]

bj still out tomorrow right? hope thats not on during the birds game


Only way it would be is if the Eagles go way into overtime, in which case, I'll be skipping the basketball game :)

But yeah I think BJ is still gonna be out.

it's all good.. we can say whatever we want to eachother, but the fact is coach k and jim boeheim have by far ran two of the most successful college basketball programs ever.

[300xxx]

12 and 13. And had just started playing basketball.

ok ill give u my age hint too, i was 14 when i was at duke/kentucky at the spectrum......as much as i hate the guy, one of the best shots ever.....bring back better memories than the unlv one

[haildmb]

it's all good.. we can say whatever we want to eachother, but the fact is coach k and jim boeheim have by far ran two of the most successful college basketball programs ever.


I like Boeheim, but the Syracuse program he's headed is at least a notch or two below Duke's program.

[Third Floor]

Rah! Rah! Wake Forest, Rah!
Old Alma Mater's sons are we
We'll herald the story
and die for her glory
Old Gold and Black is ever waving high.




GO DEACS.

i guess it was worth not really sleeping and being at the joel for the last day and a half.

[RMinor205]

I like Boeheim, but the Syracuse program he's headed is at least a notch or two below Duke's program.
That's because nobody wants to live in Syracuse, so the recruting isn't quite as good.. North Carolina is a different story.

[300xxx]

it's all good.. we can say whatever we want to eachother, but the fact is coach k and jim boeheim have by far ran two of the most successful college basketball programs ever.


2 of what 5........no..........2 of 10 maybe

[clayj41]

Coach K's program at Duke as more longevity. Boeheim's good, but he only has one national championship.

Look Boeheim's good, but he's got a little ways to go before he's in the HOF. I don't even put Krzyzewski into Wooden or Smith's category. Close but no cigar yet.

Hell yeah, Dean Smith. Coach K will get there eventually though. I think he'll go down as the best coach in the history of college basketball.

[twosteppn36]

it's fans like you in syracuse that make me sick.. you're the type of fan that walks out the door with 5 minutes to go when we're down by 15.. get out of here with that crap :twak


are you kidding me?

first of all, come to a home game and ask boeheims wife if we ever leave before a game is over. we'll be sittin behind her in section 123, so feel free to come ask. second of all, dont come to a discussion about college basketball and say that syracuse is the best team in the country every year. we all think that they're great, but if they were the greatest every year, shouldnt that trophy case have more than 1 national championship trophy (it'll have 2 after this year). third, have you watched a game this year or even today? did you see how they couldnt handle full court pressure from providence, of all teams? every fan criticizes their team. boeheims wife critcizes them every game, boeheim even does it in postgame interviews. the next game they play, they'll be able to handle full court pressure. thats one of the things that makes boeheim one of the top coaches in the nation. and last, you're from syracuse, but like miami football? i wish i could burn you at the stake. who cares how bad the teams have been, miami is miami.

get off your stoop down there in the sun and come back to reality

[RJ2kWJ]

Hell yeah, Dean Smith. Coach K will get there eventually though. I think he'll go down as the best coach in the history of college basketball.
I can find the video where Dean admitted that Coach K. surpassed his abilities. Ill TRY.

[twosteppn36]

Look Boeheim's good, but he's got a little ways to go before he's in the HOF.


you're wrong, boeheim could retire now and he'll be in the hall of fame

[clayj41]

Boeheim is a hall of famer, but he's no Coach K.

[bustdstuff]

you're wrong, boeheim could retire now and he'll be in the hall of fame

I didn't say it's not going to happen. If he makes a couple more runs at a trophy he's a shoe in. Right now he'd probably get in, but maybe not with an overwhelming number of votes.

[twosteppn36]

Boeheim is a hall of famer, but he's no Coach K.

First, I don't care where you sit. I sat behind the Orangemen bench for 12 years, so eat me. Second, I never said they were the best in the nation. I said they were the best in the nation in "MY OPINION". Why do people on here always rearrange what i say? Third, no. I live in Florida. Unfortunately, i dont have that lugury of watching them every game, sorry. Finally, I saw Miami play Syracuse last year in the Orange Bowl, wearing my #5 Orange football jersey, the only one there screaming my head off rooting for Syracuse.

And to you burning me at the stake: fuck a chicken, lick a chicken, suck a chicken, beat a chicken, eat a chicken like it's a big fat....

Nothing wrong with that, I'm a Duke fan and NC State fan, pull for State against anyone in the world except Duke :)

[RMinor205]

I love Syracuse with all my heart, but their football team isn't fun to watch. Miami is. When you watch syracuse, it's like watching a group of old men play. I went to the bowl game in Orlando and they looked slower then a pop-warner team. Who wants to root for a team that uses the run to set up the pass. This isn't the 70's when Penn State would run all over teams using that kind of offense

[bustdstuff]

Nothing wrong with that, I'm a Duke fan and NC State fan, pull for State against anyone in the world except Duke :)

I'm not bashing anyone, but I don't get that. Personally here's how my teams go:

College Football: FSU - since birth (family thing, and didn't have basketball for the longest time)
College Basketball: Duke - 14 years
Baseball: Seattle Mariners- 20 years (father got stationed out there, saw my first game at the Kingdome)
Hockey: Tampa Bay Lightning- 3 years (someone took it upon themselves to teach a FL girl hockey)
NFL: Tampa Bay Buccaneers - 12 years (moved down here saw my first game at The Old Sombrero)
NBA: Hate it

301 big east wins (only coach to do this)
27 (23 NCAA 4 NIT) postseason berths in 28 seasons
3 national championship game appearances
1 national championship
third in winning percentage among active coaches

hes in, end of story :)

Hey I hear you. I'd just like to see him make a few more runs in the tourney. I don't think a coach like him should be a close call that's all.

Well, I've been a Duke fan 16 years, so that's that :) Then I came here cause I couldn't afford Duke, but I wasn't going to just lose allegiance to my lifetime favorite team.

I'm an Atlanta Braves and Atlanta Falcons fan because of my Dad, but I'm a bigger Eagles fan--just a random team I latched onto when I was very, very young, maybe I liked the colors :) Then I started following the Flyers when I got into hockey, simply because of how much I liked the Eagles.

I guess I'm kind of lucky. Except for FSU football my family isn't into sports to much. So, I got to pick my own teams, but the big thing to me is what team I get to see play in their home arena first.

I went to a super bowl party for the packers/broncos. The host pulls my friend aside (the guy that invited me) and blasts him for bringing a girl to a foot ball party. Needless to say he figures out that I actually like and know football. Around halftime he looks at me and says"Thank God you're cool. I thought I was gonna have to listen to how ugly the new broncos uniforms are all day." To which I had to respond. How do you let that go?

[RMinor205]

301 big east wins (only coach to do this)
27 (23 NCAA 4 NIT) postseason berths in 28 seasons

1 national championship
third in winning percentage among active coaches

A few more stats:

-Only Dean Smith and Jerry Tarkanian have had more 20-win seasons (26)
-Boeheim ranks third among active Division I coaches in winning percentage and eighth in victories
-7th in Division I NCAA Tourney Wins

Also gotta give love to Mr. Bernie Fine, whom has been there since day 1 :thumbsup

Kansas has a thing for losing games i don't see coming, that's why i picked it.

Miami has beat the worst teams in the ACC, and barely beat them for the most part. Duke should beat the hell out of them.

Should beat the hell out of them, but you have to respect that Duke will be on the road short a couple of guys. I'm pretty damn sure that UM fans will be up for Duke on their floor for the first time. Could be more of a game than most think it will be. Also Miami gets to be on ESPN.

i had the complete misfortune of watching them play NC State on tv last week (local game was showed over the Kansas/Kentucky game last Sunday, so you could imagine my displeasure) It looked like an old musty high school gym that was being used to shoot a rap video. Have fun playing in that dump.

Actually I haven't bothered to watch them play this season (or any other), just looked at how they've been doing. Now that I think about it there could be more Duke fans. Even if they pack the place Duke does love to basically tell a crowd "shut the hell up this is our gym right now". Especially the little guys that think they're ready to play with the big boys.

my big question, how is UConn still ranked 2 spots higher than Oklahoma?? UNC is still overrated (damn that Santa Clara loss sure looks ugly in those RPI's) BC underrated, theyve played just as difficult of a schedule as Duke has played up to this point....could make the Big East a real pain for Syracuse. last unbeaten team this year, I'd have to agree with seekuppig, with Duke. I had originally looked at KU's frist loss coming at Villanova next Sat. too, but after the way I saw the D play again on Saturday.... I dont know, its really tough to get a decent look against this team... it maybe a good while before they see one in the "L" column.

This is why I didn't care about that game. No matter who won ESPN will treat both teams the same way, and continue to talk them up. It isn't like they have a conflict of interest because they show lots of ACC games.

Is there another conference that has the number of teams that could get in every year? I'm trying to talk up the ACC or down any other conference.

BC/SU haven't really been tested. The big east is much weaker than the ACC. although SU comes to play at tourney time, got to give them that. it's a shame ND is sucking I got tickets for the ND/SU game in February, hopefully it'll be like the one in south bend

Kentcuky should be below UNC, they lost to them and Kansas. if you put them in front of them it makes no sense. And if you want to argue road loses, I can do the same. i think UNC wins at home vs wake, too bad I don't have a chance to back it up

granted the worst loss, but what's duke doing vs ranked/unranked teams. are they blowing out unranked teams by 30 and scoring 100+? did they beat maryland and GT by 20+? All they did was beat Mich St by 7

We'll see how duke does after 2/2 when they play GT/Wake/UNC two times each.

There's really no point in arguing this because the polls are completely worthless. I just think it's ridiculous that it's ok to lose ACC games because the voters will just say "it's another ACC team" and drop you a spot.

[watchtower41]

UConn is struggling with Seton Hall.... what a joke. Should be a good BigXII tilt with the 'Pokes and Horns in a bit.

[UNC41]

Ok, I dont know why I thought I heard academics.....regardless, it was something he did for personal gain, hurting his team in the process....sounds like I guy I'd like to lead my team.

Well, you officially have no idea what you are talking about. The summer league he played in had been allowed by the NCAA for past however many years, but this is the first year they decided not to allow it but didn't get the word out there very well. Felton had no idea the league was unsanctioned, I am pretty sure he played in it last year also. What a selfish guy he is to try and better his game to help his team by playing a summer game he thought was sanctioned.

[UNC41]

If they lose this game, they'll have lost every road game they've played. So I haven't been dreaming in thinking I haven't seen unc play away from home

So wins in Bloomington against Indiana and Blacksburg against Va Tech aren't road wins? Playing in Maui really isn't playing away from home either is it.

"I'm glad Fred said that because I've been in the league for 16 years and I know they do that," Williams said of giving the Duke-UNC games preferred treatment. "The year after we won the national title, Duke-Carolina was still the ultimate game. It's always the last ACC game. It makes every other team in the league look secondary. That's what I object to. Whoever is good should get the publicity.

too bad that'll never be the case, it's the greatest rivalry in all of college basketball :)

i'd have to agree there. less mistakes and no key foul trouble
no key foul trouble?
jgray was out within like 3 minutes in the first half with 2 fouls. thats key foul trouble. its just that wake is such a deep team that taron could step up and take his spot.

Well, you officially have no idea what you are talking about. The summer league he played in had been allowed by the NCAA for past however many years, but this is the first year they decided not to allow it but didn't get the word out there very well. Felton had no idea the league was unsanctioned, I am pretty sure he played in it last year also. What a selfish guy he is to try and better his game to help his team by playing a summer game he thought was sanctioned.


Then its Roy's fault....they should know the rules. All I'm saying is voters shouldnt give a mulligan just because Felton didnt play.

Def the Rams.... you can kind of make out the script on the front of the jersey in the background off to the right.

Actually you were calling Felton out and calling him a bad leader, which is untrue.
