Wichita St. at TCU should be a decent matchup. Watch out for Ronnie "Tuffy" Moss from TCU. I used to play with him; the kid is pretty good.

Hawaii at Illinois should be decent, too.

Anybody besides myself going to the Davidson/West Virginia and Texas/Nova game on Tuesday @MSG???

Abrams will have the shackles put on him.....TRUE STORY

By Fisher or Reynolds?

Nah but in all seriousness, Abrams vs. Reynolds and Stokes vs. James should be two great match-ups.

Yea Fisher, Stokes, And Reynolds

And I want to see if Cunningham steps up. Hes been beasting so far this year

 

[jamesonnt]

Damion James is going to eat if they put Corey Stokes on him ...

Nothing good on today.

And I think this sucks, It's too much to even get into

 

[craftsy21]

how pissed are people gonna be if Gonzaga grabs that number 1 spot due to the top 3 losing... and then goes into conference play with it, where theycould/should go undefeated... those three teams losing are really all that stands between Zags and the number 1 seed overall

scary thought for many peoplei'd imagine.

 

[popcorn playa 24]

Not scary at all. Gonzaga has to play my Huskies a few games down the road. If they beat us and the other teams lose in front of them, they deserve the #1spot. ANYTHING can happen in conference play.

what was the record in the ACC VS big10 crap?

ACC - 6
Big Ten - 5

 

[juicy j 32]

This 10 day stretch without a Carolina game is killing me.

I want to catch UConn, Gonzaga, and Wake play soon. I have been way to busy with school lately to catch these games that have been on lately.

But anyways by this time next week I'll be in Vegas.

Definitely going to go by a sports book to lay some money on whatever games look good while I'm there.

Here are some games this week that are sure to shake up the polls a bit…
Tuesday, 12/9: No. 6 Texas vs. No. 12 Villanova
Tuesday, 12/9: No. 22 Davidson vs. West Virginia
Wednesday, 12/10: No. 4 Gonzaga at Washington State
Saturday, 12/13: No. 9 Xavier at Cincinnati
Saturday, 12/13: No. 15 Memphis at No. 19 Georgetown
Sunday, 12/14: No. 4 Gonzaga at Arizona


And I'm gonna start posting a daily schedule of the games and the stations that they're on.

 

[allen3xis]

13. Syracuse 8-0 869
wow.

And there is no way Xavier is a top 10 team.

 

[blazinjkid]

^ Are you implying that they're too high or too low?

How the hell is Michigan not ranked? Wins over UCLA and Duke and still can't crack the top 25?

how pissed are people gonna be if Gonzaga grabs that number 1 spot due to the top 3 losing... and then goes into conference play with it, where they could/should go undefeated... those three teams losing are really all that stands between Zags and the number 1 seed overall

I don't see how that's "scary" or why people would be mad if they were number 1. If they're undefeated and beat Tennesseetwice, as well as UConn and Memphis (not to mention the WCC is a rising conference, so that's not exactly a cupcake anymore either) then they deserve to benumber 1 if everyone else loses.

Too high. but i can understand why they are there.

It's early. Things'll shake themselves out come conference play.

Another tough week.

We've earned the ranking. No one has to agree with it.

If we can beat Memphis we should crack the top ten.

But once Big East comes around. It will be tough to stay in the top 15.
I see us dipping in between the 20's and high teens.

 

[worldbeefreeg]

Honestly, rankings mean nothing at this point in the year. Not even worth paying attention too. Big Ten though is very underrated, in the polls.

 

[allen3xis]

I'm watching Savannah State right now (g'town game)...

and due to them taking Michigan to OT...

that is reason enough to not rank Michigan.

...

(but we are very good)
