Re: Preseason NCAA Basketball Poll is released

I think Ohio St. is the best team in the nation. Kansas isn't much behind them though.

    if both teams play their best games, i think Kansas wins. the problem is that Kansas has a habit of not playing hard for 40 minutes.

    And when I said neutral above, that was a bit of sarcasm lol. That place was hostile towards Duke and they ran Carolina out of the gym.

    The crowd may have had more Carolina fans, but they did were silent the entire game. It was a pretty neutral environment.

    ESPN is beyond ridiculous at this point. they're actually breaking down Joe Lunardi's fake brackets.

    Ok so can someone explain how the three extra teams affects in picking for brackets/when to have them submitted? I've attempted to look it up myself, but I'm getting lazy and don't want to read through articles.

    there will be two in play in games for 16 seeds instead of the usual 1

    then there will be a play in game for an 11 seed and a 12 seed

    EDIT: I think the brackets will need to be in on Monday - the playin games are on Tuesday and Wednesday

    The way this hurts them is if it was like yesterday where they had multiple players in foul trouble. They can get past Sullinger by himself being in foul trouble for a short period. Sullinger also hasn't really been foul prone. Hes only fouled out once and only had 4 foul games 5 times.

    I think the first play in game is Tuesday at noon, so brackets will need to be in by then.

    And the Chuckster chimes in:

    CBSSportsGang CBS Sports PR
    RT @TheBigLead: Charles Barkley on CBS, on OSU-PSU: "Ohio State is the better team. They're going to beat them like they stole something."

    Edit: About the Play-In's: "All four games will be in Dayton on Tuesday and Wednesday in what is now being called the 'First Four.'"

    unless it's because of travel, i'm not sure why they'd play that early when there's only two games each day. doesn't make sense unless they're trying to give the winning team more time to travel to their next site.

    they can't be gimmee's if they involve 11 and 12 seeds. that's the problem i see with it. when they were only 16's it didn't make a difference.

    Marcus would have a field day. either way they'd be screwed. the Morris twins both like to get in foul trouble though, so i think we'd see Jeff Withey get some minutes similar to Cole Aldrich vs. Psycho T in the 2008 Final Four.

    I'm in a pool this year where you're allowed three entries. Very excited about that as it'll allow me to have a homer bracket and a realistic one.

    I'm in a pool like that as well, but I always only do one entry. I feel that if I do more than one, I'm just cheating.

    Ok ok. I will admit I don't know much about Kyrie Irving. I really didn't watch much Duke basketball at the beginning of the season. I mean, I saw a few highlights, but that is the extent of it. Andy Katz said he will be either the first or second overall pick. I just find that odd for a freshman who has been hurt that much of the season to be picked that high. Is he really that good, or is this class really that bad?

    It's a combo this is a historicy weak class, plus the kids really really good.

    I don't see how you think he'd have a field day. Lauderdale plays much bigger than his size defensively. He has a 7' wing span. Also in about 15 mpg, hes averaging 1.5 blocks. Not too shabby. Either way, won't need to worry about that unless both make it to the championship game.

    NBA teams love potential. It's almost better that he's been out all year for his draft stock. He's got "tremendous upside" as they like to say.

    For one I do, I do the same thing. In part because its based in Columbus so there will be plenty of people picking OSU (well over the norm). Plus last year there was 880 entries so I figured a couple extra doesn't hurt.
