The College Basketball thread

[KPENN]

So i figured since we have the NHL thread it wouldn't be a bad idea to get NCAAB thread going. I'm super pumped to watch the Heels tomorrow night. It'll be interesting to watch since it's an outside game.

Thanks for making this. How many starters the Heels get back? I can't think of any that left.

All starers are back. Justin Knox is the only player they lost

Mcadoo and Hairston seem to good to not get significant minutes. How much do you think they play?

Mcadoo probably 15-20 and Hairston 10-15. Leslie McDonald is hurt so that opens up some minutes for Hairston too. Plus with the pace UNC plays at they'll both definately have their chances.

Let's. Go. Dawgs. 3rd time's a charm.

Well it sounds like you guys are going to win the NC. Where are you ranked in the preseason polls?

Oh well that definitely makes sense. Am I the only one that thinks people are way to high on UCONN? They lost there whole offense.

Yeah me too. Drummond is really really good but I'm not convinced they're anything without Kemba. They'll be good but I don't think that good

How exactly did Drummond miss a whole school year?

 

[military_irish]

Personally I think a team out of no where again will win it all. I don't follow NCAA basketball as closely as football but I don't remember too many teams predicted to win from the get go and actually win.

At least in recent years and I don't see too many dominate teams coming into this year either. At least ones that have the chance to run the table. Which I know rarely happens on the men's side of things but their are teams that are capable.

I honestly have no clue. His whole commitment was out of nowhere

09 UNC

And this years field is stronger then the past few years. I don't think you'll see a team come outta nowhere and win it.

 

[NDPhilly]

UNC or Kentucky is my guess to win it all.

Just watched Drummonds HS highlights. WOW. He gets so high for his weigh tit's ridiculous. I honestly have no idea who ND would even Defend him with. He's the size and is as athletic as Dwight Howard as a HS senior.

Those two play December 3rd. Should be a good game

Yeah he's good. He's gonna cause a lot of people problems.

Also UConn when they had Okafor and those guys. There will be a surprise Final Four team like usual but I think UNC will win it all.

Kentucky is going to disappoint.

 

[KPENN]

So pumped for this game. The court and setup looks awesome

 

[BeauBenken]

I don't like either team, but I like UNC a lot more than MSU. Then again, I usually root for the underdog.

Eh, I just wanna see a good game that our vets get to watch.

 

[military_irish]

Love the way the game is set up

 

[NDPhilly]

This guy singing isn't very good

 

[military_irish]

I am sorry but they should have picked a better singer considering the President is in attendance.

 

[KPENN]

Terrible

 

[NDPhilly]

Doesn't Obama like UNC?

 

[KPENN]

Doesn't Obama like UNC?

He played pickup with them a few season back. After the 08 season I believe

 

[NDPhilly]

Terrible

He absolutely butchered the last part.

Solid win. Now a Belmont fan

 

[ndyeater]

Wow Duke escaped a HUGE upset...just beat Belmont by 1!!!

Technically it was a 4 point game but Belmont three up a 3 as time expired and made it. Either way though, really close considering it was against Belmont and not in the NCAA tourney.

 

[ndyeater]

Still shouldnt have been that close lol...no way is Coach K happy with the performance
