Miami is 6-0 and I have no clue how and Michigan lost to Harvard ...and it wasn't a Brain Bowl or Debate. :confused: Stupid Amaker.

Duke will slaughter them.

I'm so happy Nova beat Pitt today. I don't know how we lost to DePaul but we came back next game and pulled out a win

Good game ...as long as it turned out the right way.

[E. Nygma]

I'm so happy Nova beat Pitt today. I don't know how we lost to DePaul but we came back next game and pulled out a win

The win over Pitt today makes the DePaul loss even more crushing. Although it's great to see the Cats bounce back, it's going to be interesting seeing just how far up in the rankings Nova could have been had they not had the hiccup on Thursday.

And although NCST is a solid team as well, Nova probably should be 13-0 right now. We shall see if they truly are for real or not when they go on the road to face Pitt and then the BIG one in February at Georgetown.

[bored]

Dammit, Clemson! You could have taken out UNC, and you didn't!

[E. Nygma]

Heels next real challenge could be at Miami. Canes playing very well thus far this season. Although i think NCST has a legitimate chance at knocking off the Heels but then again the game is at Chapel Hill.

[Mister J]

I don't expect much from Miami; they lost to Winthrop ...Winthrop. On top of that, they don't really have a quality win yet. There's a reason a team is 13-1 and still isn't ranked. Now, I like seeing the 'Canes do well (it's primarily carryover from being a fan of the football team), but I have to see how they handle conference play, starting with the Ramblin' Wreck, before considering they're anything more than an afterthought in hoops.

Well the Canes are just outside of being ranked, and you're right they haven't played anyone this year. But i think they have a solid team, and remember UNC hasn't played all that many tough games this season either. Not that they aren't one of the best teams in the country, but you play who's on your schedule. We're going to see what teams are the real deal now that conference play has started.

Cant ignore the Pac-10 when the best team in College Basketball resides there, UCLA.

Stanford's looking solid again this year also!

USC while struggling, has lost i think four games to top 25 teams? I think they are better than they are made out to be. O.J Mayo is solid.

Then you've got undefeated Washington State who outside of a close win against the Zags really haven't played anyone impressive. Their big test is against UCLA coming up, and i think they're in trouble. Still though they'll be 14-1 and still ranked.

Wildcats are slumping, but they're still the Wildcats. They'll turn it around.

Absolutely disgusted with MSU's play. Sloppy and awful all-around.

If they really were the #6 team in the nation, would've slaughtered Iowa by around 25 points.

I'm sickened. I know how Michigan fans felt last September.

[Mister J]

No you don't. :(

[Fran]

Well it is a horribly bad feeling. Not even putting up 40 points on an awful Hawkeye team.

Although Iowa always plays extremely well at home.

[Mister J]

The good thing is, a ****ty game or two doesn't kill your season. There's still plenty of time to round into peak shape and all of the worthy teams will get a chance to play it out for the title.

Well since football is over and conference play has started, It's time to pay a little attention to B-ball.

Badgers are off to a great start with three conference wins. They should challenge Indiana and MSU for the Big10.

And, Mizzou opened up by upsetting Texas. I'll be happy if they finish in the top 5 overall in the Big12 and second in the North Division.

They have a better conference record than MSU and Indiana, who is currently losing to Illinois in the second half.

As it stand now, that is incorrect. :o

So after one bad game, you're making assumptions that WIS is better than both?

MSU has more depth and is a much more dangerous team to make a run in the NCAA tourney.

I like our chances at the Kohl Center. If it was a home game for MSU I'd be more worried, though the Badgers will have to fight either way.

Two thoughts:
1) As a Michigan fan, this is such a down time of year for me. Everything until March sucks. :( Much respect to Coach Izzo, best coach in the game if you ask me.

and

2) Erin Andrews FTW!

IS she married?

[ROOR]

IS she married?

She was single as of August, so hopefully not married already.
And I would concentrating on trying to get interviewed by her too, he'll be practicing his free throws more.

dont bring any dogs across state lines though

[Immortalfire]

Going to my first game of the season tomorrow night, Dogs vs. Arkansas.

[SoulManX]

Fear the Turtle Mister J:woot:

[Fran]

UNC loses.
UCLA loses.

Wow. :up:

[SoulManX]

UNC loses.
UCLA loses.

Wow. :up:

UcLoveA lost...nice.

[Mister J]

It's all good. A few too many close calls as of late. I was waiting for it to catch up with them.

The Heels could stand an upset like this. Come back with some fire.

[Fran]

So Memphis will jump up to number one. Congrats Addendum :up:

[Addendum]

Thanks.

I just hope things go better for us than they did in '83, if we get the Number 1.

[Fran]

I won't be surprised if we lose tomorrow in Minneapolis.

[SoulManX]

Duke 3-0 in ACC play

[Fran]

Wow, we win in Minneapolis, and are going to be back in the top 10 :up:

[E. Nygma]

So Memphis will jump up to number one. Congrats Addendum :up:

Doesn't matter, when Memphis actually plays someone then we'll see who the number one team in the land is.

[Fran]

To all those praising Wisconsin: Their ranking is because of their weak non-conference schedule.

NO ONE ELSE in the Big Ten schedules better than Izzo. Texas last year, Texas and UCLA this year, Kansas next year.

Sure we schedule some creampuffs, but for the most part, we play a real tough non-conference schedule. Compared to Indiana (:rolleyes:).

[Badger]

:rolleyes:

Why the **** do you feel the need to call out Wisconsin if MSU is so much better than them? They're still ranked higher.

So much anger, I sense in you. :o

I think UNC tops this for creampuffs...:o

And I agree that the rest of Conference USA sucks. However, that's not Memphis' fault.

But Memphis has beaten Connecticut, Georgetown, and Arizona. This Saturday, we play Gonzaga, and then on February 23 we play Tennessee.

But then it doesn't matter since Memphis has been named Number 1 (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=3206806)

:rolleyes:

Hahahaha, not anger at all. It's truth.

I'm not "calling out" Wisconsin. It's not a personal vendetta against you at all. I've just heard a lot of people praising them. Sure, they move up SIX SPOTS for beating a crap Northwestern team. Doesn't that seem a little fishy to you? :dry::dry::dry:

Looking at their schedule, I have no clue how they're 11th in the nation. Got killed by Duke and Marquette, although the Texas win was good, it was won on a last-second shot.

Indiana is very good as well, but an extremely weak schedule. Their only ranked team opponent was against SIU, and lost to Xavier early in the year.

I'm just saying... non-conference schedules show a lot. MSU - played #1 UCLA to the brink, beat #4 Texas, beat #22 BYU. Each team has a weakness - and if you want any chance at beating MSU, stop Drew Neitzel.

I'm just stunned that Wisconsin moves up six spots after beating Penn State and Northwestern of all people. MSU beats Ohio State, who won the last four meetings against Sparty, along with a Minnesota team that WILL be a tournament team, moves up one spot.

Sorry, it's just screwy.

[Badger]

It might be a big jump, but overall that ranking is about right. They've won the last 5 by double digits. So they may have played some weaker teams, but they treated them like weaker team.

You talk about non-con, I'll point out quality losses. Wisconsin's are Duke and Marquette (not a killing btw). And, Michigan States are UCLA and Iowa (who have lost 9 games). Honestly, Fran, which are the better losses?

Not to mention, Grand Valley State. :o
(Yes, it was an exhibition and doesn't count. But come on.)

My point, it can be spun either way.

Guess we'll find out for sure next month. :cwink:

[Fran]

Oh jeez, pulling out the GVSU card eh? :rolleyes:

That's like pulling out the App St. card.

[Badger]

Fran, it was a joke. :dry: (I'll try to be more clear for you next time)

Besides the fact, if that happened to UW, you would have beaten it to death.

So, is that the only part you have a problem with?

[Fran]

I didn't use the App. State joke all the time in the NCAA football thread. Hell, I think I only said it once :huh:

I'm just trying to have a healthy debate with one of my beloved peeps on here :csad:

[Badger]

Fran, my friend, you misunderstand. This has nothing to do with App. State or how many times you made fun of Michigan because of it. I'm just saying if Wisconsin had a loss like that, I am sure I would get some good natured ribbing. :cwink:

Hell, I'd be disappointed if you didn't. :o

[Super_Ludacris]

Georgetown-Syracuase game is a good one right now

[Fran]

I would joke about it at first, then I'd stop. Because the App. State joke got old quickly :csad:

I love you.

[Super_Ludacris]

Georgetown with a GOAT OT WIN!!!! chea!!!!

[Badger]

I would joke about it at first, then I'd stop. Because the App. State joke got old quickly :csad:

I love you.

:heart:

[Fran]

Tennessee about to lose to Kentucky... :up:

[Badger]

Wisconsin continues it's winning streak, but their streak of winning by double digits ends. A three at the end keeps it from OT.

And, hopefully Mizzou can end its slide in Lubbock against Texas Tech. I am, however, not holding my breath.

[Fran]

Damnit, Michigan! :cmad:

Oh well, we get to release our anger on the Wolverines this Sunday.

[E. Nygma]

UK with an upset, i saw that one coming a mile away. As mediocre as the Cats have been this year, they are still UK hoops and always have the capability of beating SOMEONE.

[Immortalfire]

Yay Kentucky :yay:

[E. Nygma]

Villanova lost to the Scarlet Knights! The sky is falling! The Wildcats are.....over rated! :(

[Mister J]

Damnit, Michigan! :cmad:

Seriously, how does Michigan get that close to winning in Madison? :huh:

I thought they had it. :(

[Fran]

Mister J, Sunday your Wolverines travel to the Breslin Center :yellow:

[Fran]

God, Northwestern is a one-trick pony. All they can do is hit the three... MSU needs to just stop being buddies and blow their asses out of the water.

Dan's sister is hot:o

[Fran]

You mean Drew? Drew Neitzel?

She looks exactly like him, except she has long hair and boobs. :o

[Argyle of Sock]

WSU all the way!




(I'm not much of a sports person, but I thought I'd drop in and shout something.)

[Fran]

Washington State? :o

[rdh007]

Mister J, Sunday your Wolverines travel to the Breslin Center :yellow:

82-33

[Genesis 1.0]

Man, we've gotta squash Maryland, they've fulfilled their purpose.

[Fran]

Indiana loses at home to UConn.

Wisconsin loses at Purdue, which is very tough to win at no matter who you are.

MSU needs to step up.

[SoulManX]

You mean Drew? Drew Neitzel?

She looks exactly like him, except she has long hair and boobs. :o


Yea I meant to say Drew not Dan:o

[SoulManX]

Tonight my Blue Devils take on Merry-Land...after the VT game we should be pumped and ready:o

[Fran]

Today is the only time we play the Wolverines this year... sadly.

I'm extremely pumped up for this game, no matter how bad or good either team is.

I hope MSU takes out their repressed anger on the Iowa and UCLA losses on the boys in Blue. I hope some of the football team members, especially Dantonio and Hoyer, are there, so they can see what it's like to beat those boys from Ann Arbor.

GO GREEN, GO WHITE!!!

VICTORY FOR MSU!

My prediction is already in, but I'll repeat it: 82-33

[Fran]

Jesus. I'm sickened already... Michigan can't do anything but hit the 3.

[Panophobia]

The Gators better be ****ing ranked soon. They raped Vandy and have overall dominated so far this season. Pretty impressive for a group of freshmen.

[rdh007]

It's sick isn't it? And not in the new, cool, hip way either.
