We have 2 of the most talented teams ever, and a chance that only 2 states will represent the Final Four (Duke and Louisville are the real deal, they can both get there to join the 2 mega powers)
Not to mention a shot that one of those 2 teams goes undefeated this year.
And that's not talking yet about the ultra talented Vandy, OSU, or the defending National Champions either.
God I can't wait any longer. I have been on the edge of my toes since April.
From: TimJab | #008 i was working so i only got to look at the score every once in a while but from what i saw you guys were losing for more than half the game
so uh
No, we trailed about 75% of the first half, and then just absolutely obliterated them the second half. We got the lead all the way up to 19 (in one half mind you) before taking our foot off the gas and putting in our bench while they kept in their scrubs.
Fact is, we just played a grade D game for us, and won by double digits against a Top 10 team.
We are scary good. Carolina has showed nothing yet.
From: TimJab | #012 box score says all 10 starters played 40 minutes
Well, even if UK played all their starters 40 minutes (they didn't, since we pretty much have 6 starters). Kansas had Robbinson foul out, so I can assure you that is wrong.
BTW Rev I just got to freaking Division 2 in online h2h for FIFA. Been using Man City. They are too good. Hart is the best GK in the game and Tevez/Aguero finish everything up front.

=(
i don't care how bad this team ends up being, the seven guys in our rotation are named nurideen, d'angelo, moe, phil, malik, sir'dominic, and god'sgift
Ahh yeah, my Oregon State boys are doing great this year. 4-1 after barely losing to ranked Vanderbilt. They beat Texas yesterday and Jared Cunningham had 37! Can't wait til the next home games before Christmas, should be awesome. We going dancing this year!

Right now Duke is probably the 4th best team of teams not named Kentucky or UNC.
Syracuse, OSU and U Conn are better in my opinion. Depending on if UL or Vandy can ever get healthy, I might take them on a neutral floor as well. They are very good, no they are not exactly elite, but as Tim said, there is probably only 1 (maybe 2) Elite teams this year. It might be the strongest at the top it has ever been, but after that, it is not the strongest year for College ball.
Yeah, I can't argue that (though I will argue Duke > UConn once we've gelled. Seriously if Rivers gets the whole year to keep developing, kid is gonna BALL).
But there's nothing wrong with not being as good as UK/UNC this year. Those two programs hit the jackpot with returners and recruiting class. There's honestly no excuse for either of those teams to not make the championship game. So I'll be rooting whole heartedly for them both to fail all year. :)

Yes there is. The committee last year showed they are the dumbest humans on Earth. Dollars to donuts says they put us on the same side of the bracket somehow.
There is no way they will intentionally f*** up the UK/UNC title match that everyone will want to see (provided injuries don't happen).
That game will print money, and they'll want it to happen in the title game so that they can wipe the memory of that debacle from last year out of everyone's heads.
