Preseason NCAA Basketball Poll is released

[gbs3769]

and boy was this a good time :)

I'm trying to make out the game. Notre Dame, 2003?

If so, you'll see me in the last picture you posted. I'm up next to the air vent that is to the left of the basket.

uconn last year.....32,944 :)

[gbs3769]

Gotcha. That time I was visiting my girlfriend in CT.

[twosteppn36]

boooooooooo cuse comes before girlfriends!!! :lol

[gbs3769]

Nah. The girl comes first. Unless we are in a National Championship game.

The added bonus is that the game was on television there, and she is a die-hard Syracuse fan while her dad is a die-hard UConn fan. It was rather fun to watch the game with them.

[tyler1389]

i am really pissed

[seekupig]

Yeah, I've been to Allen Fieldhouse. I grew up in Nebraska and we saw a game back when I was in grade school. We had some friends who lived in Overland Park who went down to the game with us. It's a nice arena, but I really believe that the RAC is more difficult. You can chalk (rock chalk it if you really want to) it up to me either being young at the time, or having a Big East bias.
- Matt

i did a little research on the RAC and it looks like it is a pretty well respected arena as far as noise goes. but when i think of tough places to play, places that are tough to win at not tough to hear at are what comes to mind. while Rutgers has a decent home record over the past 10 years or so, it's not even close to the Jayhawks record at Allen Fieldhouse (Duke is the only team that's close)....

RUTGERS
94-95 (8-6)
95-96 (7-7)
96-97 (9-6)
97-98 (10-5)
98-99 (12-5)
99-00 (8-5)
00-01 (8-7)
01-02 (15-2)
02-03 (10-6)
03-04 (16-2)
04-05 (5-4) (includes last night's stellar let down against the 'Cuse)

home record over this time.........108 wins, 55 losses.


KANSAS
94-95 (14-0)
95-96 (13-0)
96-97 (15-0)
97-98 (16-0)
98-99 (10-3)
99-00 (13-1)
00-01 (13-1)
01-02 (13-0)
02-03 (15-1)
03-04 (13-1)
04-05 (10-0)

home record over this time........145 wins, 7 losses.


is the RAC a tough place to play? sure. toughest in the nation? no way.

[mray10]

You just can't compare RAC with Cameron or Allen. Of course Duke and Kansas have a far greater winning percentage at home than Rutgers -- Duke and Kansas are much better than Rutgers.

That doesn't mean that Rutgers doesn't get a greater advantage playing at home than Duke or Kansas do. But I doubt if there's any real way to measure that.

[seekupig]

You just can't compare RAC with Cameron or Allen.

:thumbsup i agree. but i'm not the one who made the claim that you could.

[seekupig]

Illinois @ Wisconsin tonite, who's everyone picking? I've gone back and forth, but i'm feeling the upset now. Everyone has to lose sometime (i think) and this is the best shot for Illinois to go down. it'll be a good game...........

:ugh

[watchtower41]

Illinois is favored by 2...... I'm taking the Badgers. 38 straight wins (5 straight against the Illini) at the Kohl Center is not a mistake. KU is favored by 14 @ Baylor.... gonna stay away from that one, thought they do have plaenty to prove after getting dropped to 7 in the ESPN poll. what a joke. Below a Wildcat team that we beat at their place.

[mizzoudmbfan]

so now your having been to an arena makes it a tough place to play? i'm sure it's safe to assume that you've never been to Cameron or Allen Fieldhouse. they're both loud (and small) and they have the home records to prove it year in and year out. I know they're not in the Big East, but you should check it out sometime.......

I havnt been to nearly as many college basketball arenas as football stadiums so I dont have as much experience but....ok, it's taking alot for me to say this...AFH is by far the coolest arena I've been to(there, it's out:violent ). But seriously, you won't hear me say to many nice things about kU(for obvious reasons), but Allen is awesome. It's the one thing that I am actually somehwat jealous of kU...well that and the whole final four and national title thing. But, mark my words, kU is going to "chalk" up their first home loss on monday nite;) .

It's ok.... I won't share with any of your other Tiger friends that youre a closet Jayhawk fan. Nobody can fault you for admiring a real program. Never did see a game at the Hearns Center... and certainly not the new place, though I did see a 311 concert (dont ask) at Hearns..... looked like a pretty cool place for a game. By the way, Mizzou was much more fun when Norm was around.

[mizzoudmbfan]

Hearnes was nice just because it was "home", definatly not a bad place just nothing special. The new arena which I like to call "The Norm Stewart Court" instead of Paige or now Mizzou arena is obviously very nice. But it dosnt have the intangibles that a place like Cameron or Allen have.

[jermtheworm]

illini guards are awfully good. koll will be rocking, but i think illinois pulls it out.

[clayj41]

As much as I hope Wisconsin wins, I think the Illini will pull it out.

[mizzoudmbfan]

PS Coach Stewart is the man. Biggest mistake in the history of MU athletics...Bill Self, we give him the cold shoulder for Duke's golden boy and he has since owned us at our two biggest basketball rivals.

Yeah, but they're shooting is unbelievable.

But so was Wisconsin's. Somebody's gotta cool off in the second half.

[bdb23]

We're back, baby!!!

EDIT: Granted, it's not over but we're in this thing. Great game.

[bustdstuff]

Wisconsin can do this. I believe it in my heart. :lorraine :p

[bdb23]

Wisconsin can do this. I believe it in my heart. :lorraine :p
Of course they can. But will they??? It's gonna go down to the wire. Williams just needs to take control of the game. They couldn't stop him before. Head is just playing like shit. Both ends of the court. Should be a good finish.

[bustdstuff]

Of course they can. But will they??? It's gonna go down to the wire.

True, so true. Gotta love a rivalry game.

[bdb23]

Fuck Dickie V. and his fair weather bullshit. Shut your ass!!!

[bdb23]

Sorry. Just had to say it b/c I had enough of him tonight. Whoever was up or had the momentum, Dickie V. was practically on the court stroking them.

[meatball41]

Ugghhhh!! :violent 20-0 Bitches!!!!

thats why they're #1

Down 8 at Kohl Center and they win by 10. That's a team folks.

Please?!? They've been #1 in the nation for over 2 months now and have been on ESPN countless times and this is the first game he's done for us all year long 'cause aparentley we weren't worthy enough to be blessed with his presence. Two weeks ago when it was decided that he was going to do this game he started telling the world then that this was gonna be the game where the Illini fell. Even tonite he said that Carolina was the best team in the nation even though they have 2 losses, one coming from Santa Clara(pu-lease!) and the other to a team that the Illini dismantled by 28. The Illini received every single first place vote in the USA Today poll and all except for one in the AP poll and he still wont admit were the best team in the country. :lol What a jackass!

[gbs3769]

I'm not particularly enthralled to the entire Orange thing. I prefer the Orangemen/Orangewomen distinction. It makes more sense. It's either a mens sport or a womens sport. I think that the contract out to Nike to redesign the look of SU was a waste of money. It would have been much cheaper to get a local design firm to create the new logo for Syracuse. As far as the actual logo, that I like.

Ohhhh you're still just bitter that your team lost to an unraked team... wait, lost? Raped would be a better word. Even crushed. Maybe demolished. Shut Down. Destroyed. Creamed.

I never got to get into the convo about that game haha. I just loved how it looked like Kansas gave up. How sad. I could never see Duke doing that. Just look at the Maryland/Duke game when Duke was down by 16 or whatever with 2 minutes to go and came back and won. Gotta love it.

No but that pic is hilarious. :D

[watchtower41]

the Illini made a believer out of me last night.... that team is the real deal, and I can honestly say, they have a real chance to run the table....at least during the regualr season. Wisc up 8 last night, threatning to really blow it up with the Illini's erratic play.... they bring in Jack Ingram for back to back 3's and broke down that lead with 3 straight possessions..... ballgame right there. The Badgers had all 3 Illini guards n the ropes making bottle rocket passes out of bound and stupid half court shots....didnt matter, the Illini have mch more than the 3 guards. A very nice showcase game for the Big X. Went to an Illini bar here in Chi, the place was a madhouse.....I'm glad my buddy made me take the Illini, its about time they covered. Huge win, without a doubt the best team in the nation.

actually, i'm fine with the loss. reguardless of the margin, a loss is a loss. it only counts as one. if that's what it takes to wake them up and get them playing to their potential, then it doesn't bother me.

University of Arizona (Tucson, Arizona)


I am not terribly annoyed by UA having Wildcats for their mascot. The story behind that oddly, though, has nothing to do with there being quite a few actual Wildcats living in and around the Tucson. Back in the early days the UA played a football game and was described by an LA newspaper writers as having "played like a bunch of Wildcats." So, at least there's a reason and there is a natural precdent in the area.

The UA colors piss me off. Not that I have a problem with red and blue, though it's hardly unique. But I do assert that the first color scheme the school had (green and silver) was vastly better. What's really stupid is the reason for the switch: It was cheaper to order uniforms in blue and red. :rolleyes

Im taking bets left and right with some people that let their team influence their opinion. For instance I JUST took a $500 bet on the bowl. He gave me 10 points which doesnt matter cuz the Patsies will waste the eagles anyways. But he picked Philly to win by 10...

Whatever though. Spring Break is gettin payed for nicely.

bet with your head, not your heart is a good motto for betters to live by. (i consider getting 14 pts. at Cameron, a smart bet even if it is your favorite team)

COACH OF THE WEEK: Mike Krzyzewski, Duke
Not many people picked Duke to be undefeated at this point of the season. Coach K is doing one of his best jobs keeping this team unbeaten. The Dukies really showed something by winning at Miami (92-83) and at Florida State (88-56).

maybe Coach K is the default coach of the week if nobody does anything outstanding? i may be biased, but my vote would go to the coach at 'Nova for coming back from that heartbreaker against Boston College and destroying the Jayhawks a few days later. I know they went 1-1 on the week, but it took some serious coaching throughout the week to make his players believe again. The best coaching jobs are done when things aren't going your way.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

I can deal with that. ;)

[watchtower41]

This just in from Dicky V off of ESPN.com.........

COACH OF THE WEEK: Mike Krzyzewski, Duke
Not many people picked Duke to be undefeated at this point of the season. Coach K is doing one of his best jobs keeping this team unbeaten. The Dukies really showed something by winning at Miami (92-83) and at Florida State (88-56).


:thumbsdow Props to Duke for staying unbeaten for so long, but justifying this by "showing something" against Miami and Florida State is the most ridicoulous thing Ive ever heard. Neither one is a tourney team. Is it me, or is Dick like 10x worse this year than he has ever been in the past with his bias??? Especially after the game he just saw last night... it would be really nice for ESPN to get an insider besides Katz that could give some actual insight.... anything is better than this ongoing circus with Raferty, Dickie V, Bilas, Lavin, Franchilla and all the rest of the useless commentators they have over there.

For the Coach K default comment.

For the coaching job Jay Wright (I think that's his name) did at Nova last week by making that team believe.

[mizzoudmbfan]

I'm watching PTI and the blurb for Sportscenter keeps saying "Dickie V tells us who the real number 1 team is"....me thinks I smell a Duke love in on SC tonite.

I'd say Trent Johnson at Stanford had a better week. Also won 2 road games, but did it with a struggling team that may not be as good as UCLA or USC (teams they beat).

I watched a game between UNC and NC St. from the 1983 ACC tournament on ESPN Classic Sunday and Dickey V was so different. He didn't yell once and had some input worth listening to. It took me five mintues to realize that it was him, because just the overall tone of his voice was toned down so much.

[watchtower41]

Coach of the Week for me??

Mike Davis-Univ of Indiana

had his team really struggling through that tough non-conference schedule with a 5-7 record going into Big X play. Since then, they have reeled off 4 in a row (4-1 in Big X), all pretty big wins too.... Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio State and Purdue. Props to the Hooisers for not falling flat on their face.... makin gthe NIT would be a huge accomplishment after what this team wnet through early on.

That would be soooooooo nice to hear. I've had to wait on him a few times,and I can't take that goddamned voice anymore. Every time I turn on a Duke game on ESPN I pray to the bball gods that he's broadcasting somewhere else, or better yet nowhere at all.

I still believe that UNC has the most talented team in college basketball, but by no means do they deserve to be number one. Everything the Illini has done thus far has shown they are the only team worth of that distinction.

You may ultimately be right (I would have gone to UNC had it not been so damn far), but that was just a dick move on his part being that Wake got crushed by Illinois but beat UNC and the whole Santa Clara thing. Screw Dickie V.

The way I look at it is that there is no team in the country that can match the Heels in terms of talent, but there is no team that plays like a team anywhere near Illinois does. Talent can only get you so far. That's not to say UNC has played bad as a team this year, look at last year, but a testament of how well the Illini play together.

The Terps always bring their Maryland pride with them. I never expect to blow them out early, but always expect to out run them in the end.

Maybe I'm the only one. They can always run with us in the first half, but when it starts getting hot in that gym teams fall by the wayside.

[meatball41]

If the Terps were able to execute at all or have any type of composure they'd probably be leading in this game. And the home cooking for Duke is absolutely disgusting.

Oh because no team ever gets a break at home. I'm not saying it's right, but there's no point left in bitching about it anymore. It's been beaten like a dead dog.

When the anchor for ESPN at halftime (Karl Raveich) makes a comment about it, it's getting out of hand. Even Dukie V. said there have been several calls that were obvious fouls that have gone Duke's way.

Yes, Paul is better than Felton
Yes, McCants is better than Gray
I like May over Williams, but not by too much
Levy gets an offensive edge over Manuel, but Manuel is as good of a defender as you'll find in the ACC
Jawad is a HUGE advantage over Danelius, he is very underrated

When Wake played UNC they had two players on their bench have arguably their best game of the year and didn't get much from anyone else. Downey may be able to score, but Marvin Williams. Ellis and Strickland are not an upgrade over Noel and Scott for the rest of the bench.

The Heels are more talented.

First of all, the ACC is so tough to win that they could be beat out by a great team like Duke or even Wake. It would depend on how and where they lose though. If they lose the ACC because they start losing at home, I'll be concerned. If they lose the ACC because they lose on the road in close games, then I wouldn't make a big deal out of it. That said, I think they'll have their fair shot to win the ACC. There would be a lot of confidence in the tournament though for the team that does win the conference. All I'm saying is that I believe that UNC is the most talented team in the country, and as long as they're at home or on a neutral court I think they'll be pretty tough to beat.

IF the 'Cuse lose at Pitt on Saturday, KU could be back up to #3 in the polls with a win over Texas Saturday night.

Dicky V is too good to come to Norman. He barely gets off the East coast and when he does it's either Kansas or Texas. We had UConn and Oklahoma St here for Big Monday and he didn't come to either one. The only way OU will get Dicky V is to convince Duke, Maryland, UNC, or Wake Forest to come in.

Played in at Madison Square this year. Should have won but refs swallowed the whistle when Sheldon Williams got 3 fouls. He mugged us in the 2nd half. I'd like to get them in the tourney, we'd were them out down low.

Last night was a lot of fun. Hadn't seen UA win a big game against a tough opponent in a couple of years.

What I learned last night: 1. Salim really does have it together. 2. Washington is for real.

How does UA finish the year? Top 25? Top 10?
