[quote=GB12]Finally I get to see one of my team's games on TV. Marquette-Duke on ESPN2 in 7 minutes.[/quote

Duke is going to lose by double digits. Book it.

God I'm a friggin phrophet (sp?) :lol:

As an Illini fan watching Duke lose is almost, almost as great as seeing Iowa or Indiana lose.As a Terps fan. Theres nothing better than seeing Duke lose.

[duckseason]

Hitler > Duke

[ccB]

Hitler > DukeId agree with that.

[thetedginnshow]

Good win by Marquette. They're fun to watch. Duke's still rebuilding though. They'll be set by conference play.

Good win by Marquette. They're fun to watch. Duke's still rebuilding though. They'll be set by conference play.

Duke has no business being in the top 15 this season. Possibly not even the top 20. They lost hands down their two best players, they don't really have an outside threat, they aren't deep, and they're inexperienced. But since they've got that Duke name, automatically the media and everyone else thinks they're going to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. :roll:

[yodapoop]

Shut up everyone....Duke stinks this year, they are prolly gonna lose ten times at least this year, so we don't need 1 1/2 pages of morons keep on posting DUKE LOSES! Okay, rant over, yes I am a Dukie fan. And everyone have a great thanksgiving.

Well, it's not only Duke. The same goes for plenty of other teams in the top 20 at this point. That's what all of these tournaments are for, because honestly, no one really know how great teams will be at this point. So once they all get into conference play (probably before then), we'll have a better understanding of who the top ten or so teams really are.

[SuperMcgee]

OH SCHNIKES UNC LOST!!! :( :(


....to Gonzaga!

[SuperMcgee]

more schnikes!

Tennessee lost to Butler and BC lost to Providence. Go Friars!

UCLA up 20 on GT with 10 minutes left, Memphis beat Kentucky by double digits

[ccB]

Its a sweet day for a Maryland fan when UNC, Duke and Ga Tech all lose in a 2 day period.

[thetedginnshow]

Too bad for Ga Tech, but UCLA is something else, so that's understandable. Amazing how well the Zags shut down UNC. Half of my family will be happy for that one.

[JDRaymond]

was it just me or did Marquette look like a top 10 team when they beat duke. There guard play is amazing and they looked legit. i find it amazing they are picked 4th in the big east, do you guys think they are that good

The Big East is a very strong conferece, probably the best. Uconn Marquette, Pitt, and Georgetown will be fighting for the Title.

This College basketball season will be great for me. I'm a torn for the UW/MU game.

[sweetness34]

Whoo Hoo, Illinois just got one of the top freshman in the nation to committ, his name is Jereme Richmond. Can't find the recruiting thread so I figured I'd gloat about it in here.

Haha watch tomorrow he'll go to IU and Sanctions. :lol:

There is not clear dominant team this season. Florida is very good but I don't see them as being dominant (not like the Illinois' and UNC's of 2 years ago).

I'd say it's anyone's ball game right now to win it, and I expect to see that top 25 shuffle around a ton during the season.

Overrated teams:

Ohio State (we'll see how good they are come bigger tests)

UNC (stop Hansborough, stop UNC, easier said then done though)

Duke

Kansas

Boston College

Georgetown

Tennesee

Memphis

Just some off the top of my head. All these teams have talent but I question how good they really are. Only time will tell I guess.

Why did Duke have to lose? :evil: :x :evil: :cry:

[Fogartynyy2789]

Hofstra is by far the best 0-3 team in the history college basketball.

[sik wit it]

bucky will be back to the top, they always have a lapse game.

[TitleTown088]

duke is playing bad because they have so much youth, by tourney time they will make it to the sweet 16 , no doubt in my mind. Coach K will turn this into a real good team really soon.

[sweetness34]

Ha Wisky lost. :lol:

Still my pick to win the Big 10 though. Man we just barely beat a good Miami(OH) team tonight by 2. Ouch. Missing two of our top guys is really starting to show now. :cry:

[ccB]

Maryland won. :D

It was against High Point...but still :D

[eazyb81]

Butler better be in the top 10 of the next AP poll.

They are 6-0 with wins on the road against Indiana, Notre Dame, Tulane (destroyed by 40), and neutral court wins over Tennessee and Gonzaga.

No one in the country has a better resume than the Butler Bulldogs right now....AP better show them some love.

Aren't they unranked right now? that's an impressive schedule but I doubt they'd go from unranked to top ten.

How is that an excuse? I'm just saying that Assembly Hall is a tough place to play and if the game had been played there, it would have been the difference to swing it our way IMO.

And your point is? They're a better team then you are. If they played at their place they would have won. So that gives them the edge 2-1 (2 wins on neutral and one loss at the AH).

Your team is just down right bad cards, and that's the polite way to put it.

Cal's gonna win it all this year just so you know.

The Big East is a very strong conferece, probably the best. Uconn Marquette, Pitt, and Georgetown will be fighting for the Title.

This College basketball season will be great for me. I'm a torn for the UW/MU game.
Wisconsin will win that game but it'll be close. Bo will have Tucker's head on straight so who on marquette will guard him. Kam will hopefully balance out james and I think the badger's twin towers will be gettin it going.

They are alittle more of a long shot but they have a chance still. It seems like every year they do.

And UW won today agaisnt Auburn :)

It will be Pitt, Georgetown and Marquette fighting for the title...UConn and Syracuse both lack consistency at PG and are a little young, they'll likely be a tad over .500 in Big East play...

[GB12]

That's kind of what I'm thinking but I don't really want to throw those two out too early.

[sweetness34]

Illini are 7-0 baby! 8)

UF vs KU is going to be a good game tonight. Go Gators!!

[JagsFanWL]

That's kind of what I'm thinking but I don't really want to throw those two out too early.

Are you referring to UConn and Syracuse? You're right if you are, I should have mentioned that. It all depends on how well they mesh together, I watched UConn play Mississippi and A.J. Price played amazing, if he can be consistent like that all year, UConn can challenge...I haven't seen Syracuse play yet, but i read about them in a magazine and they seem to have a similar situation to UConn.

[FlutiesDropKick]

just random comments on COllege basketball.

1. I watched Virginia Tech vs. Western Michigan the other day and it made me hate basketball, wnd of story
2. First long term bet of the season made today theat Kansas beats Texas A&M to win Big 12 but A&M makes it further in NCAA's

[Windy]

This win by kansas over florida if they hold on will be a negative recruiting wise on illinois


EDIT: overtime :shock:

Kansas won...survived an open 3 by Corey Brewer as time expired...great game

[thetedginnshow]

And now it's clear that there won't be any dominant teams this year, if it wasn't already.

Well, unless Oden starts playing and, you know, lives up to the hype.

Butler better be in the top 10 of the next AP poll.

LOL, sure they wouldn't have.

They won by 5 in a game in which we had the lead for almost game. It's not like they dominated us. HCA makes a difference in close games. I don't know why I'm arguing this with you since it is irrelevant.

[sweetness34]

This win by kansas over florida if they hold on will be a negative recruiting wise on illinois


EDIT: overtime :shock:

No it won't. Talk to me if they actually win a 1st Round game this season.

Plus Bruce Weber is on the brink of singing some stud 08 and 09 guys right now (plus he's got the #1 Illinois prospect from 10' already signed). He'd get the same guys whether or not he won this game.

Self is still a terrible coach and you can just tell because his players were making dumb plays down the stretch, and that is a sign of no discipline and poor coaching. The only reason he wins is because he's got talent on his team that can overcome his coaching. He's a great seller and recruiter but can't coach his way out of a bag (I'm an Illini guy but I bet a lot of people would say that he's the Ron Zook of Basketball, only I think Ron can coach a lot more then Self can).

There is no clear cut #1 team this season; so it's going to be fun to watch the battle for the top spot. I think it'll probably go to, hmmm; UNC, UCLA (weak Pac-10), or Florida again. But who knows, maybe Butler will get it. :lol:

[JagsFanWL]

I really like Marquette this year, Dominic James reminds me a lot of Chris Paul, and I think he alone could bring them to the Final Four this year...

Yep, exactly. I think that James has a better supporting cast then Wade did though, but Wade was a little more talented so it evens out. Nevertheless, I like watching them play.

[GB12]

I haven't seen a UW game this year yet but Marquette's are usually more exciting.

Weber is certainly the better coach than Self, but Self can recruit circles around Weber.....it also helps that he is recruiting to a traditional program like Kansas rather than Illinois.

I think Kansas will underachieve yet again this year, but it's hard to argue with the talent Self has recruited to this team. Rush, Wright, Russell, Kaun, Chalmers, Arthur.....they have a sick team.

[sweetness34]

I just can't help but wonder what Bruce would be able to do with those guys.

And put Self with our guys and we're looking at a .500 record.

McBride is already back. Smith came back on Friday night and will be ready for Tuesday against Maryland on ESPN. And it's looking like a couple more weeks for Randle.

Tuesday we'll find out if this team is for real or not. We're 7-0 but we haven't really played a "statement" type game yet so we'll see. I think we'll win on Tuesday;

1) IMO we're a better team, but I'm sure Charm will disagree

2) We're at home

3) Ebekwe is kinda banged up

My prediction is Illinois 68 - Maryland 59.

Last year Florida was a top 20 team from November to March and then played the last two weeks flawlessly. Expect them to be a final four team (at least) again. Kansas is going to pull the same thing thewy always due. Win 23, lose 6 or 7. Then dominate the Big 12 tourney and then lose in the first round to...HOFSTRA!

Ohio state :roll: Honestly, i know everyone will call me bandwagen because of one big win, but i'm gonna go with KU as the best team right now, sure they lost to oral roberts, but they are really impressive for a young team. B rush, arthur, and wright are amazing. O ya sasha Kaun is really good too :roll:but , seriosuly you watch this team until the end of the season and they will be a premire team . Another team that is in contention for the UNC.( and that really hurts me to say it because i hate them so).
BTW whoever said KU will lose in the first round to hofsta has it all wrong, It will be Butler( Bucknell, Bradley, and now Butler)

[danman253]

Michigan is the worst 3 point team i Have ever seen.

Even though they lost, I still think UNC is the best team, and they will show it when they rock the crap out of OSU.

yeah that was a terrible pass by mcbride, and a terrible shot attempt by him the next time down. I cant say im surprised by this though, UofI best scorer Jamar Smith is not 100%, and UofI's best player and shut down defender Brian Randle is out. With that said they still had chances and not scoring any fgs in the last 4 min excluding those tip-ins hurts.

An easy win. They gave us a little trouble when Tucker was out but when he was in we really out played them.

Don't roll your eyes at me. A freshman led team has a lot to prove in order for me to consider you number one. They have talent, but I question their experience.

Btw, didn't get to watch Illinois on tv, but I heard they battled Maryland to the wire. I'm not making excuses at all, Maryland was a better team tonight; but I want to see us with both Randle and Smith 100%. We'll be a darn good team come March, you can bet that.

Another team that is in contention for the UNC.( and that really hurts me to say it because i hate them so).
BTW whoever said KU will lose in the first round to hofsta has it all wrong, It will be Butler( Bucknell, Bradley, and now Butler)

Don't roll your eyes at me. A freshman led team has a lot to prove in order for me to consider you number one. They have talent, but I question their experience.

Btw, didn't get to watch Illinois on tv, but I heard they battled Maryland to the wire. I'm not making excuses at all, Maryland was a better team tonight; but I want to see us with both Randle and Smith 100%. We'll be a darn good team come March, you can bet that.
i was rolling my eyes at the Poll rankings not you buddy.

Oh haha. My bad. Never can tell with you Packer fans. :lol:

Does no one wanna talk about the Illinois game last night? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Mike Jones, Who?

Despite the fact that we lost last night, I think we looked very good, especially in comparison to our first few games. If DJ had played worth a damn we could have won. Armon Bassett is going to be one of the best freshmen in the Big Ten this year. He was on fire from outside the arch last night and was our only player in double digits. Ben Allen or one of our other big men are going to have to step up if we want to contend with top teams more often though. This game was a defensive struggle and I was impressed by how well Ben played on D but he needs to become a scoring presence and stay out of foul trouble. Also did anyone see Mike White's block of Greg Paulus. It went all the way to the other end of the court. :shock:

I think UNC comes out on top in a close one.

If it gets on your nerves, then just don't read it. Misspellings get on my nerves and I never get on you for that.

I think UNC will win by about 10 or so.

Mike Jones, Who? 8)

[ccB]

You guys are giving UNC way too much credit. They did lose to zaga and id say OSU is better than Gonzaga without oden. This game should be closer than u guys are making it seem.

[thetedginnshow]

Difference is Ohio State doesn't have a whole lot of big guys to bang it down low. I personally think the Buckeyes will manage a win, but they'd probably have to find a different way to disturb Hansbrough.

that could be because Gonzaga matches up with UNC pretty well.

I must say OSU is shooting very well right now. Also Brandon Wright is playing awful.

man the Duke UNC rivalry is going to be great the next few years wih the recruiting classes they have bolth been getting lately.

green just got facialed.

UNC is taking some horrible shots.

UNC plays no defense, it's pathetic. And it's why they are not going very far in the tourney IMO.

[danman253]

UNC only has 1 team foul this half. Good discipline.

[danman253]

5 minutes ago OSU was shooting 58% and NC was 46%

Now its 55%-50% UNC

[sweetness34]

My question is, OSU's strength seems to be outside beyond 3 point range. With Oden and the change of style (going from more perimeter oriented to a little more post oriented, although Oden's biggest impact will be on the defensive end). With that hamper with their offense? They don't look inside hardly at all right now.

I still want to see these teams play like an Illinois "type" team that slows it down, limits possessions, and plays hard D. I don't think we'll beat the Buckeyes this year, but it'll be interesting to see how they'll do against a slower game.

Great game though, I will say that. Talent all over the court. And danman, UNC is not going to committ defensively. In the past 5 years, they've never been known for defense, and that's going to kill them. Can't outscore everyone all the time because offense comes and goes, but defense is always there if you have intensity.

They played ok defense, but it's still an offense oriented program. Right now they have the talent to overcome a lack of D but in conference, that ain't gonna happen.

UNC has no help side D. You can penetrate on them all day long and get to the hoop. That's where Hansborough has to be a man in the middle and flatten guys who enter the paint. I will say that niether KU or UF look as good as these two teams though.

Ellington is gonna be something special. Next Felton

Nothing even like Felton. He'll be special, though.

But Ohio State surprised me. They have gritty guys down low, slashers, and a ton of three-point range. Once they get Oden, boy will it be fun to watch.

As for UNC, well, they're not as impressive as I'd expect from a Roy Williams-coached team. It seems like he's just randomly throwing guys on the court to shoot wild shots and eventually count on Hansbrough's determination to get them going. I think his style of play is going to eventually hurt them. Some great prospects on both teams, however.

Well when a team can go 12 deep it's going to be difficult this early on to find the right rotations. They have more talent and depth as any team in the country though and it's going to win them a ton of games.

[Giantsfan1080]

Ellington is gonna be something special. Next FeltonLawson reminds me more of Felton.

100% right. Lawson is actually better than Felton at the same point in their careers I feel. Felton seemed a little more raw and a little less talented than Lawson is. I'm not sure who Ellington reminds me of yet but he is as pure a shooter as they come.

[thetedginnshow]

Not sure why it's such a revelation. ESPN has been saying Lawson is like Felton for some time now. I'll say that Lawson won't be as good as Felton though just because I love Felton.

But anyways, I forgot to talk about my guy Sean Williams. God I love his shot-blocking ability. If he can just keep his head on straight, he's going to be something.

As for UNC, I agree they have a ton of talent and depth, and they'll win a ton of games because they're UNC. But I was just talking about the here and now how I wasn't too impressed. Eventually, I'm sure they'll work it out (though I can envision not putting the right lineup on the floor hurting them at some critical point later on in the season).

[eazyb81]

Huggy Ball is starting early for Kansas State.....

Forward Luis Colon was kicked out for throwing a punch at Taylor Harrison during a 30 point blowout loss to Cal.

I think that 12 men deep is going to hurt you more then help you. Because Roy is going to be obligated to use his bench, and that could disrupt rythmn. Illinois is about 8-9 guys deep, and I'll take it.

I still without question think you take the ACC though. Duke is down, Maryland is a good team but I don't think they'll win it, Georgia Tech is too inconsistent for my liking, and then it kinda falls off after that.

oh man i don't know duke may not be great yet, but you know coach K will make a run in the tourney when those guys get some expirance togther and GT is a pretty solid team too. ACC is most likely the best confrence.

My 2 teams played last night. Cincinnati goes to 5-1 after last nights victory over Oakland and Kansas State falls to 4-2 with a loss to Cal last night. Both teams imo are doing pretty good with the additions to 2 new coaches in their first year. Im not to sure in the future Mike Cronin of Cincinnati will be able to pull in the recruits Cincy has been getting in the last 10 years. And there is no doubt Huggins at Kansas State will always have good recruits coming in.

how does he look so old? i was watching the game and wondering this last night. Greg Oden is a feshman in college but he looks like bill cosby's grandpa. this could explain why he is 7'11 maybe he has the disorder that robbin williams had in JACK.

[DChess]

or he's just ugly and he's 7'1

Mizzou passes their first real test of the season with flying colors, putting a 86-64 beatdown on Arkansas on ESPN2. Mike Anderson is doing an amazing job so far this season, as Mizzou is now 8-0 and has the most wins in the country.

18 days until the annual Braggin' Rights game against Illinois.....hopefully this can turn into a legit rivalry again now that Quin Snyder is gone.

Word is that he is shadowing a big wig on Wall Street. Supposedly he has no desire to coach anymore......anyone that saw his teams play can understand why.

Smart guy, great recruiter, but just an awful basketball coach.

Illinois vs Arizona today on ESPN. We're without Randle, Smith, and Semrau. And Frazier might not play. Ugh, can we catch a break this season? :roll:

I'm predicting an upset though. Arizona is going to look over us and Brock, Pruitt, Carter, McBride, and Meacham are going to go off in this game.

It's a shame that recruits don't see this.

They lost to a DePaul team who lost to both Northwestern and Bradley (in fact they got waxed by Bradley). Pathetic, flat out pathetic.

He couldn't coach his way out of a friggin box. And I'm not kidding you about that. He was a terrible pre-game planner at Illinois (we could have and should have won the National Title in 2001). He doesn't know how to make adjustments and all a team has to do to beat them is play zone because they have trouble knocking down the outside jumper.

And yet Weber, without pretty much 3 starters hangs in and could have beaten a ranked team in Maryland last week. Makes you wonder don't it. :lol:

[eazyb81]

My God, Kansas is pathetic. How can Bill Self keep his job if he has this much talent and consistently loses to teams like Depaul, Oral Roberts, Bucknell, Bradley.....the list goes on and on.

I've said it before and i'll say it again....Bill Self is simply an awful basketball coach. I bet Illinois fans jump for joy that they have Weber instead of him after seeing these embarrassing losses.

[sweetness34]

Well the hell game were you watching, inferior team? :roll:

Or how about a 35 - 8 foul difference. I'm not one to blame a game on the refs, but they were pitiful tonight, they shot over 30 free throws, we shot about 9. They had 4 or 5 ridiculously bad calls that changed the momentum. Pruitt's two fouls at the end of the first half and beginning of the 2nd half were god awful. And the carry call on McBride was disgraceful.

And btw, when you're missing two of your best players, one of which is your best scorer and the other of which is your best all around player, um yea I'll say that was a reason. We should have won that game without 2 of our best guys, and also one of our reserves in Richard Semrau.

I'm proud of my boys though. They battled bad calls, foul trouble, and tired legs to almost pull it out. Arizona is a darn good team, but so are we. I won't take anything away form the Cats, they made the plays down the stretch to win the game. But there was no "inferior" team yo, and I'm sorry but you're an ass for saying that. Might want to watch the game again before you say that. An inferior team doesn't get up by 16 points and hold the lead for 3/4 of the game. An inferior team doesn't get in foul trouble, get outshot from the free throw line, and almost win the game. You my friend need to get your eyes checked if that's what you think.

And this again goes prove why Weber is one of the best coaches in the game right now. Taking a make shift lineup and almost beating one of the most talented teams in the nation.

[sweetness34]

My God, Kansas is pathetic. How can Bill Self keep his job if he has this much talent and consistently loses to teams like Depaul, Oral Roberts, Bucknell, Bradley.....the list goes on and on.

Self is the Ron Zook of Basketball (although Zook is a much better coach then Self). He can't coach his way out of a paper bag.

Playing to your competition is a sign of a bad coach. He's a terrible X's and O's coach, he doesn't plan very well, and he doesn't adjust.

Self was great when he was here but I'm much happier with Weber. With less talent we're playing better. I for one can't stand him though because he bashed us when he left for recruiting purposes.

We can't score at all, especially against the 2-3, and are way too sloppy. We're definitely not as good as I thought we would be at this point in the year. The only thing that keeps us in games is how good our defense is.

Mason didn't have a good record last year either, it's all good we are gonna make the atleast the elite 8 this year, we just need to get Vaughn Norwood, and Carter more playing time. Regardless Mason is probably the most class team in all of sports. They never argue one call even when many of them are favoring the *** Dukies.

Im still torn on this game. If UW wins they should move into a top 10 team, but Marquette could fall a couple and maybe out of the top 25. Also I believe Wisconsin's Big Ten schedule will be a lot easier than going through the big East.

They aren't terrible but they definitely aren't as good as I expected. They play great defense but they just don't have any guards that can create their own shots. They live and die by the 3 ball and it killed em today. This is why a guy like Gordon will help the program alot, because he is a scorer and can create his own shot. It was good to see DJ playing well again but the guards and Stemler were settling for the three too often and that shot that Stemler took at the end of the game was just idiotic.

I just got back from my school's college basketball game and it was crazy. There were 58 fouls and 74 free throws attempted by both teams combined. New Mexico State which is my school was down by 2 with 1 minute remaining and UTEP which was already in the penalty made a stupid foul and gave us 2 free throws. We made them both to tie up the game. With 20 seconds left UTEP pulled a Chris Webber and called timeout when they had none left. UTEP then made another stupid mistake by fouling us on the inbound pass. Somehow we made them both again to go up by 2. I said "somehow" because NMSU missed about 25 free throws tonight. With no time left UTEP shot up a desperation 3 and missed and so we won the game!!!!!!!!!! It was a really good game because there were 15 lead changes in the 2nd half.
