So the best sport in the US is about to start over the next few weeks... college basketball. Most say the talent is a little down due to all the freshman leaving after last year, but I will be honest IM READY FOR SOME COLLEGE BASKETBALL. It should be a great year!

Pre-season Top 5 looks like this (AP Poll)
1. North Carolina
2. UConn
3. Louisville
4. UCLA
5. Pittsburgh

Big 12 Teams in the top 25
7. Texas
12. Oklahoma
24. Kansas

had the first ranked match of the year with 2 ranked teams playing. #21 Davidson lost to #14 Oklahoma in what appeared to be a blowout, but with some Stephen Curry shooting they lost 78-82. Curry put up the game high and a career high at 44 points. It was hell of a game and showed some promise of some good basketball throughout the year

James Harden is the man! Look for my Devils to contend in the Pac this year!

Curry is not human. People can say whatever they want about his size, but this kid is a pro. He isn't a one dimensional shooter like Redick was at Duke. He is a scorer in, out and anywhere. This kid can flat out ball.

SIU ad Duke are putting on apretty good game right now.. Duke is up 5 with 10 minutes to go, this would be a great win for the valley if SIU could some how beat them

[Dom]

So last week's #1 UNC has back to back losses to start ACC play. Wake Forest could be a team to deal with deep into March. It will be interesting down the stretch

Well, for some reason the Bookie does not recognize College Basketball, but if it did, I'd take K State tonight to cover, maybe not to win, but I think they will cover.

[Dom]

I agree... I wish the bookie had at least big matchups from College basketball

He is and it was a great game. Give UConn credit for hanging in there minus Dyson and for most of the game Thabeet. The Big East is just unreal this season.

Pittsburgh is going to break there streak.... This is the year they get to the final 4

A Number 1 Bites the Dust..
Seems being ranked 1 is a curse. Could this be the year a 16 beats a 1, and it be the #1........I live for the Madness.
