[Major Harris]

Pre-season rankings are out.

1. Indiana
2. Louisville
3. Kentucky
4. Ohio Sate
5. Michigan


With three top 5 teams bball teams and an irrelevant football league, is the big 10 the new big east?


Top 25 has 5 Big 10, 4 ACC, 3 Big East, 3 SEC, 3 Big 12, 2 PAC 12, 2 Mountain West, 1 Missouri Valley, 1 Conference USA, & 1 West Coast Conference rep.

My 'Eers Didn't get a vote....hoping for a huggy miracle.


Michigan at 5 kind of surprised me. I had to look and saw they did get a 4 seed last year. I always loved how John beilein operated while in Morgantown. Other than constantly getting dunked on. Lol

Things already getting testy between Rick Pitino & Jim Boeheim:

UNC starting at 12 is about right. I think the ACC is wide open this year.

[The Evil Genius]

It will be interesting to see how Huggy does in the B12 this year. I'm not sold on this years team - a solid NIT selection might be the high end for WVU.

But they have proven me wrong before.

Anybody watch All Access Kentucky last night? Looks like a pretty interesting show, unless of course you can't stand John Calipari.

That surprised me as well. I knew they was most likely a top 15 or crack the top 10 this year. They had a good recruiting class this year(Glen Robinson's son is aboard) and also they return Hardaway Jr., and Burke. Also Al Horford's brother is coming back from injury. But yeah, #5 shocked me. They will be tested early vs NC State as State is #6.

Already have 2 top 25 upsets with Florida state losing to South Alabama and UConn upending Michigan State. Maryland pushes Kentucky to the limit and we are officially off!

There are only 3 teams with a realistic shot at winning the ACC. And if NC State plays to expectations, then Duke and UNC are fighting it out for 2nd.

State had a good season last year...had a GSU grad at my bar last night, wasn't happy they got beat by Duke. I, otoh, was happy.

[DCranon21]

I'm waiting for that NC State vs Michigan ACC/Big Ten challenge game coming up. Should be a good matchup.

I wasn't able to sign in for several months. Honestly don't know if I was banned, or just issues on my end. But I couldn't sign in from my phone either. So I assume I was banned. And I know I'm from far an angel, but I don't recall making a post that was worthy of ban, around the time I couldn't sign in. Also, when I couldn't sign in, I still read the board from time to time and I recall forehead making a post about me not showing up on the member list anymore. Just glad to be back, man.

Duke should be good, as long as the younger guys develop pretty fast. I honestly think Duke is better off without Austin Rivers. He just wasn't a very good fit for their system. He did his own thing, because he knew he was only going to be there for a year.

I remember our PMs about basketball last season, and hadn't seen your screen name in forever...glad you're still amongst us!

I love what he DID do, but if you don't have a degree, or at least try to get one, the point is moot. It's a great school, and I believe all scholarship players (and walk-ons, for that matter) need to make the most of their time there.
I don't remember if I shared a picture from the last trip...there was a tent set up in K-ville, with a sign that read "One if by land, two if by sea, three if by Rivers".

On the night FSU hung the "2011 ACC Champions" banner too. That was fun while it lasted.

Reliable Leonard Hamilton early season performance. Dumb fouls, dumber turnovers, and sad offensive efficiency. But the man recruits like hell, knows how to position FSU as spoilers for Duke and/or UNC, and it's a "football school" anyway.

If FSU can just make a respectable run in the ACC tournament and then make, and win a game, in the NCAA tournament, it'd likely be a solid year for the team. Especially with how UNC, Duke, NC State, and even Miami are shaping up this season.
