July 19, 200421 yr http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/columns/stor...andy&id=1842382 Illinois 9th #1 Wake Forest visits our place this year. Holy. s***.
July 19, 200421 yr f*** yeah, go Illini! #1 Wake Forest visits our place this year. Holy. s***. Dee and Daron can take Chris Paul, but it sounds like our frontcourt is gonna have problems...
July 19, 200421 yr Dee and Daron can take Chris Paul, Gtech and Wake are going to be awesome again. I'll guarantee it right now that Unc won't make it past the sweet 16.
July 19, 200421 yr #9 is not that great for the team we have. We are expected to be anywhere from 1 through 5 for the preseason poll. But its Katz who put us at #9 so I dont take that as anything. My God does ESPN need some new CBB analysist. It doesnt get much worse than Dukie V/Katz/Biased Bilas.
July 19, 200421 yr Oh and by the way, for all you CBB diehards in here who cant wait 'til the season starts, i recommend this site: The top 144 teams in 144 days. Its a count down of the best teams until the season starts up.
July 19, 200421 yr Looks sweet. Congrats to the Illini to start out in the top 10 according to AK. Not bad for a Big Ten team to be ranked so high by one of the ACC lovers.

I'm glad he rated us #9; I hope when the official rankings come out, we're not higher than that either. I don't want this team getting too big of heads when they see how good we are, and not living up to expectations like the last time we started off ranked in the Top 5. My God does ESPN need some new CBB analysist. It doesnt get much worse than Dukie V/Katz/Biased Bilas Yeah, I totally agree with that. But, they need new NBA analysts even more. All of those guys suck. ESPN's NBA guys are way worse than any other sport ESPN covers.
July 20, 200421 yr Author Preseason polls don't mean all that much to me. As long as we are ranked, i don't care. Our play will determine where we get ranked throughout the season.
July 20, 200421 yr Who got further in the tourney last year, siu or msu? Didn't Mississippi State do well? How many Final Fours? How many titles? How many superstars? rolleyeyes.gif
July 20, 200421 yr I would LOVE to take that bet of UNC not making the sweet 16. I said they wouldn't get past the sweet 16 and I'm up for a little friendly bet.
July 20, 200421 yr lol well dang, thats what I get for not reading huh. Thats a little tougher, but your on anyways :-).
July 20, 200421 yr FSU #33, not bad, but honestly who gives a s*** about college b-ball right about now?
July 20, 200421 yr FSU #33, not bad, but honestly who gives a s*** about college b-ball right about now? I care about college bball all year long. I guess that is the product of going to school in the mecca of college basketball. I will take that UNC bet.
July 20, 200421 yr UConn will be good again, but they will probably struggle somewhat early on after losing Gordon and Okafor. They are alot like Texas, very very talented, but younger players will have to step up big time. Rudy Gay is one of the top 5 incoming freshman for UConn. Just for anyone who cares to know, here's my list of "diaper dandies" for next year. I'm only gonna pick the top 5, regardless of position. Rudy Gay, UConn Marvin Williams, UNC DJ White, IU (everyone just loves to see him play down low) Malik Hairston, Oregon (because he will be the main man at Oregon) Glen Davis, LSU (because he will be unstoppable down low) But overall Kentucky has the best class with Rajon Rondo at PG, Joe Crawford at SG, and Randolph Morris at C. All 3 will be very good.
July 20, 200421 yr I care about college bball all year long. I guess that is the product of going to school in the mecca of college basketball. I will take that UNC bet. Let's calm down before we start labeling Lawrence :sleep Kansas :sleep the mecca of college basketball. If memory serves, both championships reside in Storrs, Connecticut.
