Preseason NCAA Basketball Poll is released

[dmb1spe]

They are tough... good gaurd play, good coach.

But the problem is you live by the three you die by the three. I saw it for years when Rick was at Kentucky.

[seekupig]

Personally, I think the Final 4 will be:

UNC
Duke
Kentucky
Louisville

Final 8:
Wake
Illinois
Cuse
Ok St.

Kentucky has played three teams ranked in the top 25. they've beat 1. they need to get better fast to make it to the final four. UNC, Louisville are good picks, i'm not sold on Duke yet.

[dmb1spe]

Tubby and Kentucky always peak in March. Just like Roy Williams and the Jayhawks always used to choke in March.

[seekupig]

Tubby and Kentucky always peak in March. Just like Roy Williams and the Jayhawks always used to choke in March.

If #1 Kentucky getting beat by UAB in the second round last year is peaking in March, then you may want to set some higher standards.

[dmb1spe]

UAB shot damn near 60% and got some serious homecooking by the same walking blowjob that called this year's uk-unc game. Fact: UNC shot 44 free throws. uk shot like 11.

I'm not saying that's why we got beat, because UK was the better team. But when some team goes lights out and gets every break in the officiating, it's tough to win. Even for the JayCocks.

[seekupig]

UAB shot damn near 60% and got some serious homecooking by the same walking blowjob that called this year's uk-unc game. Fact: UNC shot 44 free throws. uk shot like 11.



where was the homecooking in this years Kansas @ Kentucky game? Kansas played without their best player at "one of the toughest places to play in America" and still won.

[dmb1spe]

Find where I ever said Kentucky got beat by the whistle against KU.

I'll save you the trouble... you can't.

Read before you post numbnuts. Oh and nice to see someone from raleigh jumping on the KU bandwagon. Better now than later when there's no room.

[dmb1spe]

Oh yeah... and you just reminded me that when UK got beat by UAB, Keith Bogans, our first round draft pick was not playing because of an injury suffered the game before.

KU had time to find their chemistry with whoever gone. UK didn't have that luxury.

[seekupig]

Read before you post numbnuts. Oh and nice to see someone from raleigh jumping on the KU bandwagon. Better now than later when there's no room.

if i changed my location to "a long way from my old Kansas home" would you be happy? I live in Raleigh, i'm not from Raleigh. If i was from here, i wouldn't have to look to far to find a favorite basketball team. i've moved around my whole life, Kansas, Texas, Seattle, Germany, Atlanta, Tampa.......... it would get very tiresome and expensive for me to find a new team every time i lived somewhere. so actually, i'm quite the opposite of a bandwagon jumper.

[dmb1spe]

If you say so...

[seekupig]

If you say so...

i do.:)

[jermtheworm]

good games tonight. i'm picking louisville, ou, wake. duke has some shortcomings that should get exposed tonight. they're a solid team but not undefeated solid. i like louisville's team make up, big fan of petino, perfect example of why college coaches need to stay in college, screw the nba. and of course ou, should win by 15 if a@m doesn't play zone, otherwise all bets are off.

[UNC41]

Tubby and Kentucky always peak in March. Just like Roy Williams and the Jayhawks always used to choke in March.

Kentucky has been hands down the hottest team in college basketball going into the tourny the past two years, but hasn't reached the final four either of those years. I suppose you could say that Kentucky peaks in late Febuary/early March.

[UNC41]

Oh yeah... and you just reminded me that when UK got beat by UAB, Keith Bogans, our first round draft pick was not playing because of an injury suffered the game before.

KU had time to find their chemistry with whoever gone. UK didn't have that luxury.

Not only was Bogans a second round pick, but he was also in the NBA last year when UK lost to UAB.

[twosteppn36]

ill be peaking tonight when the woman comes over

[UNC41]

I figure if someone's gonna beat them, why not the guy who recruited them and coached them for a couple years. KU would matchup really well with the Illini imo, Luther Head/JR Giddens same player. Brown/Miles wipe each other out. Langford doesnt have the range of Williams, but can take him to the hole all day. Simien is the man who would make a difference in this matchup. Granted, the Illiini bench is better at this point, but still no answer for Big DUB.

While KU matches up pretty well with Illinois I think UNC does better. Felton is one of the few players in the country who has quickness anywhere near Brown. McCants and Head are similar players. Manuel is a great defender and should do a good job on Williams. Jawad and May are just a huge advantage in the post over Powell and Augustine.

[watchtower41]

Not only was Bogans a second round pick, but he was also in the NBA last year when UK lost to UAB.

I really anxious to see how UNC handles Duke next week. UNC hasnt really been tested in a tight game yet. A good amount of their wins were blowouts and in their 2 losses, they were overmatched. Good teams become great teams in a tie game with 3:00 left in the 2nd half.

[seekupig]

UNC style of play doesn't allow for a lot of close games as this season has shown. it's either beat 'em down, or get beat down. when they're running on all cylinders, no one can beat them. But when it goes bad, it goes bad in a hurry.

It was such an ugly game though. It was so defense-oriented, and both teams played really sloppy. I thought I was gonna get my ass kicked because I was wearing all Carolina Blue.

Screw that. Hopefully the Duke game is a 20 point blowout. Let's let the UConn game be the one where they have to grind out a win.

i had to get it. it's actually made in red (nc state) but it passes off well with a KU hat on. besides, UNC has a "Got Roy?" (front) "We Do!" (back) shirt. Along with "Puke University" and the "UNJ-D" shirts...........

How did Ewing take a cheap shot? Paul was almost sitting on his head. And before you start talking crap about Reddick think about this. Would stand in to take a shot from him? Just because he's lanky doesn't mean he's not scrappy.

When Paul was going after the ball it looked like he fouled him, but it was after the whistle was blown that Ewing swung his arm. Hence cheap shot. I wouldn't stand in and take a shot from Redick, but then again there is nobody on this Earth I would willingly stand in and take a shot from.

I was looking at ESPN.com and couldn't find anything about it, but they've started ranking the "gameday" locations by using measuring the noise in each place. they've got brackets set up with all of the schools they're going to. saw it on the KU/Texas pregame last saturday. KU beat out UConn if i remember right. how loud does the Dome get?

It can deafening. 33,000 can do that to you. It all depends on how the game is going. I tried to find a decibel record list for stadiums, but couldn't come up with anything.

At KU they did the show in the main lobby for the Fieldhouse, so I dont know that they fit as many as they could have if it would have been on the floor....it's a pretty cool show, even though they have a bunch of clowndicks as commentators. I'd trade Dickie V braodcasting every game in March to never see Jay Bilas again.

If someone wants to project that by the end of the regular season BC will have lost 2 games and therefore not be deserving of a #1 seed fine. But they're undefeated right now. Wake lost to Florida State! :BANG

and the problem is? BC has played 2 ranked teams, wake has beat, unc, duke, GW, cincy, arizona, we have 3 loses, but we've played a much harder schedule. if wake played BC today, who would you put your money on?

the question isn't who would win if they played today. i agree that Wake would mop the floor with them, but if you use the "who would win today" argument, then everyone in the country would have UNC #1. you have to reward teams based off of what they've done, not what they would do in a given situation. Chances are, BC will lose a couple down the stretch and either Wake or UK will get the other #1 which will be fine with me. but, right now you have to give BC a #1 seed. all's they've done is win. St. Joe's got a #1 last year with a much weaker schedule than BC's this year. look at it this way, if BC gets a #1 and Wake is the highest ranked #2, they'll probably put you in the same region so you can settle it on the court. the selection peeps are usually good about that kind of stuff.

why would you put UNC #1? Illinois is head and shoulders about every other team in the country. UNC has 2 loses, one to wake. the illini are better than wake, and its not because they beat us by 29, that was the work game wake has played, you really cant compare that with anything. but just by watching both teams you can see that the illini are the best team in the nation.

[bustdstuff]

While I agree that right now BC should be a #1 seed. That is the fundamental problem with bracketology. The tournament is played in March not now, so what's the point of assigning/projecting seeds now?


Oh, and I'll take the Illini's margin of victory.

you would be hard pressed to find anyone on a major tv network that wouldn't take UNC over Illinois on a neutral court. you can't use the UNC has two losses argument to keep them out of #1, then turn around and say Wake deserves to be ahead of BC. Illinois is a great team and more consistent than UNC, but if they both played their best games, i'd take UNC in a heart beat.

I didn't see that, but I'd love to see him eat his words on SC tonight.

[ousooner]

Not that it was really ever in doubt, but OU officially gave Kansas the Big 12 regular season championship tonight by getting embarrassed at home by Texas Tech. KU now has a two game lead. I was looking forward to seeing Bobby Knight in person for the first time, but I wasn't planning on him kicking our ass. OU has finally come back down to earth and is looking at loosing three out of four after Oklahoma State kicks our ass in Stillwater Monday night.

[ousooner]

What game do you guys think is the toughest game to win in college basketball. OU is going to Stillwater on Monday night, and I have always thought that OU winning in Stillwater was one of the single hardest games in the entire country for a team to win. It's almost impossible for OU to come out of Stillwater with a W. The environment there is unreal. It is so much easier for OSU to come to Norman and get a win. Not because they are better, but because of the difference in atmosphere. You'd be hard pressed to find a crazier place then Gallager Iba when OU is in town. The Duke/NC game comes to mind as being really difficult for the road team to win. Any others that my be up there with the Stillwater Bedlam game?

[unccrombie]

Yeah, I don't know what Bilas was thinking. I guess I just chalk it up to trying to seem "impartial," especially since he spends all that time sitting next to Notre Phelps.

On a related side note, basketball GameDay sucks major ass.

[haildmb]

why would you put UNC #1? Illinois is head and shoulders about every other team in the country.


They could play each other 50 times, and I'd pick UNC every single time. They may have 2 losses, but they're the best team in the nation. Doesn't mean they can't get upset, and I certainly hope they don't even brush near the final four, but I'd take UNC over Illinois on a neutral court, or at UNC, or at Illinois.

Yeah, it was an awesome game (I had to watch the game at a friends, because my ankles sprained.. and the dawg pack is no place for a person with a sprained ankle :BANG ). But UW's speed will be able to match them up good against all but maybe 6 or 7 teams. And i can't recall any of UW's losses this year due to a lack of presence in the paint, they dominated the boards today and they handled ASU's Ike Diogu well a few weeks ago.

you mean they played better for 37 minutes ;)

[gbs3769]

And Syracuse looked horrendous. Thankfully we were able to pull it out in the end, but that was just an ugly game all around.

The officiating was terrible on both sides of the ball. The second technical, I really don't know where that one came from because honestly, it didn't look like 5 seconds from where I was sitting. And the last foul on McNamara, I don't know about that one, but it sure looked like a touch foul to me.

While the game, minus the last 6 minutes or so was bad, I particularly enjoyed Chuck's after the game.

Me too, I hope it's a good game. This and the next one are biggies for Uconn. With Gordon and Brown gone and top recruit A.J. Price lost with a intracranial hemorrhage for the season you knew the backcourt was weak. I'm not sure what's up with the frontcourt, I just hope Coach Calhoun figures it out soon.

[gbs3769]

Well, I didn't really get to catch the game as I was driving down to Harrisburg, but from what I heard on the radio it sounded like the refs were horrendous in the second half.

It also sounded like we made a few critical mistakes. The 3 on 1 where Roberts held on to the ball instead of passing it, and when we were up 5 and either Edelin or McNamara threw a pass down court that went out of bounds. Those sort of plays are the things that we need to cut down on and we will be a good basketball team.

McNamara going 1 for 9 from the three point line doesn't help either. especially when he's half of a two man offense. I know you get someone else to step up on occasion, but the 'Cuse is really gonna need a legit third scorer to go deep in the tourney. McNamara has an off night, Warrick gets in foul trouble, game over.

[twosteppn36]

officials were horrible, as they were saturday night. i wouldnt be surprised if you dont see that crew doing another big time game. i was really impressed with roberts tonight. if mccrosky starts another game over edelin, im giving my season ticket to someone. other than that, uconn dug into their zone and found a way to win. we got nova, pitt, and bc next. i sense 3-0 :)

[Dave G]

Hopefully last night was a breakout game for Charlie Villanueva, it would be nice to see him living up to all the hype that came with him. Unfortunately for Uconn, if he does, he is most likely gone after this season

you'll get a better idea how good UConn really is or isn't this weekend when the Tarheels come to town. UConn could catch them in a vulnerable spot, coming off of a mentally draining game at Duke...... or UNC could win by 40. either way, i'll be watching.
