College B-Ball '06-'07

[primushead]

Woo!!!  Season starts in two days!!

I can't wait for basketball this year.  Carolina is ranked #2 in the preseason poll...and I really have high hopes for them this year.

But, man...Florida is returning with all 5 starters?  It's gonna be crazy!  

Who else is everyone pulling for?

[realdeal]

I can't wait either. I'm a huge college hoops fan and Louisville is  my squad. We just had our annual Red-White scrimmage and our recruiting class looks unbelievable!! Our first game is this Wednesday and I'm stoked. Then UL vs WVU for the showdown of the Bluegrass state.

It's all about the Orangemen. Been a fan for 30 years. I'm originally from a Canadian city, Kingston, that's pretty close to the hole known as Syracuse. Most of our US TV affiliates  are from Syracuse, so Kingston gets a saturation of Big East and specifically Syracuse Orangemen games (football too). I like most of the Big East teams, even Connecticut. I can't stand the ACC, in particular the Tar Heels and Duke.

[realdeal]

Ah, yes. The Big East is by far the most dominant in college basketball and I can't stand the ACC either. Especially those Dookies. Syracuse got us last year so I'm looking for redemption. Losing G-Mac was a huge loss.

I hope Gerry makes the NBA in the future. I'll be checking out his stats in the Euro League. He's my favourite college player since Syracuse's Stevie Thompson from the mid 80's. Leo Rautins is up there too. Let's Go Orange!

i can't find the preseason poll anywhere, can someone post it?

Ohio State could win championships in basketball and football.  

i'm also a cards fan though, hopefully they'll have a better year this year.

Ouch.  Mucho hate for the ACC out there I see.   :-/

But i'm glad you guys hate duke. :)

Lets Go Penn State  ???. . .  I'll take the NIT, again.

[primushead]

It's beginning!

UNC dominated Gardner-Webb ( :P)

I'm really looking forward to the Ohio State/UNC game on Nov. 29th though.  That'll be sweeeeeet.

[ycartrob]

some really great games last night, especially the Duke-Marquette game (and especially since the dukies went down). Kentucky-UCLA was pretty sloppy and Memphis St disappeared against Georgia Tech.

Lots more to come until the Maddness...

[primushead]

UNC lost to Gonzaga :-/

I would've posted on it a couple days ago, but I've been crying too much.  Oh well, it's just the NIT.

[primushead]

...God bless the consolation round, though.

Eat shit Vols!!!   ;)

Good comment from Roy....

NEW YORK (AP) -- North Carolina coach Roy Williams was blunt with his team after its latest victory.

"I told them to go home and for Christmas ask for some brains," Williams said after the second-ranked Tar Heels beat No. 22 Tennessee 101-87 on Friday night in the third-place game of the NIT Season Tip-Off. "One of the parents heard me say that and said, `Good. That doesn't cost very much."

OK, 40-38 Ohio St with 4 minutes left in the first half. This is incredible already!!!!
I have to say I am a bigger fan of college b-ball than football. And they will decide it all in March by playing a tournament.

MADDNESS!!

[primushead]

Wow.  


What a game.  It kept going back and forth for so long...I was screaming the entire time.  

GO HEELS!!!!!!!!!

[Jacket Fanatic]

Since there is no hope for Alabama Football I need to give a good "ROLL TIDE" here for UA Basketball.

if I were a betting man, I'd take Carolina and the points (11). I have seen Kentucky a couple of times this year, and outside Morris, they got very little. Unless Carolina is down after the Buckeyes game, they should cover.
