Davis: "Hello, I'm Rece Davis, along with Digger Phelps,....Jay Bilas, and Dick Vitale.....And Welcome to the 1st edition of ESPN College Hoops Gameday for the 2009 college basketball season. Be sure to join us each and every week as we break down the week that was in college basketball. We will have expert analysis, breakdowns, predictions, and plenty more."
".....and guys I know we are almost halfway through the season already and some teams are even well into conference play. I must say that I am very excited about how things are shaping up......It looks like another great year in college basketball Dick..."
Vitale: Rece, your right. But it's ALWAYS a great year for college basketball. And now it's just going to get even better as teams are in the meat and potatoes of their schedule, going into conference play. I can't wait. I...CAN-NOT-WAIT... to watch the best of the best perform in their conference. The best players, the best coaches, the best teams, THE BEST FANS!!! Its gonna be awesome BABY with a capital A!!!!
Bilas: (laughing) I'm sorry, did you say meat and potatoes? But you guys are right. Alot of questions are going to be answered for some of these top rated teams. Will teams like Florida and Texas be able to keep up their play now that they are going into conference play. Alot of people want to know if these teams that are on top of the polls for real.
Davis: Well Jay, you mentioned the polls lets take a look at them right now:
1. Florida (14-2)
2. Texas (13-3)
3. Gonzaga (12-5)
4. Davidson (14-3)
5. Memphis (11-5)
6. Duke (11-5)
7 North Carolina (9-7)
8. Kansas (11-4)
9. UNLV (13-4)
10. Northeastern (13-4)
11. Alabama (12-4)
12. Villanova (9-5)
13. Tennessee (9-6)
14. Xavier (10-5)
15. Creighton (10-2)
16. Purdue (12-5)
17. Connecticut (10-4)
18. Vanderbilt (10-6)
19. Kentucky (10-5)
20. Tulsa (11-5)
21. Oklahoma (9-6)
22. Illinois (11-5)
23. Nevada (11-6)
24. Georgia (13-3)
25. Syracuse (8-7)
Davis: ...and Digger, is there anything that sticks out to you in this weeks poll
Phelps: Sure- the lack of Big East teams in the top 10...or even in the entire poll for that matter. When you think about how strong that conference was rated at the beginning of the season, just as it always is, I am suprised that we only have 3 teams from the Big East in the top 25....and that's barely in the top 25 with Syracuse at 25.
Vitale: Well you hit it on the head Digger with the Big East. I mean you think about the disappointments in that conference. When you are talking about Pittsburgh who is struggling right now at 8-5. And certainly, you have to talk about Rick Pitino and his ball club at 3-11! I mean are you SERIOUS??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!! 3 AND 11 ???!!! I mean you're talking about a team in the Louisville Cardinals that were picked to be somewhere at the top of the Big East by the end of the year...but certainly not now...not when you have devastating, and I MEAN DEVASTATING losses to teams like Kansas State, VCU, Indiana State, Tulsa -even though they are in the top 25....I mean C'MON, ....I mean with all due respect to Doug Wojcik and his crew, they certainly have an excellent program going on there at Tulsa, BUT C'MON, WHEN DOES LOUISVILLE LOSE TO TULSA, AT HOME??!! C'MONNNNNN!
Davis: Alright,....well that will do it for this addition of College Gameday....
Vitale: (interrupting) You mean that's it???!! THAT'S IT??? I WAS JUST GETTING STARTED MAN, WE HAVEN'T EVEN MENTIONED what a great job Billy Donovan has been doing down there at Florida, or how about Northwestern at # 10 in the country??! Stephen Curry's fabulous senior year! I mean it's absolutely FANTASTIC BABY! I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS COLLEGE BASKETBALL SEASON!!
Davis: Well I'm sure you are Dick, we all are and we will get to all of that next week.....For Dick Vitale, Digger Phelps and Jay Bilas, I'm Rece Davis, we will see you next week. So long everybody.
