Merged the threads as I just created it prior to you.

I cannot believe Clemson is not ranked.

re: 1/18 - 1/31 Game Discussion

Duke loses at home to Syracuse tonight 64-62. Duke is now 3-3 in ACC play. They really need to get Amille Jefferson back. They are only playing 6 right now and they really need him down low. Also Duke is not getting great play from its point guard spot. I think Derryck Thorton will eventually be a pretty good but he wasn't ready to be starting at Duke this year.

I'm loving it too!

Don't they have at least some pretty decent guys on the bench though? I thought they had a pretty high recruiting class this year? Ingram and Kennard are getting a lot of playing time as freshmen, would think some of the others would have been worked in.

So glad they are losing though, can't wait to get to work tomorrow

Non-conference schedule was terrible, +300 and they were 7-5. That is a big hole to overcome, but if they keep winning this week, they will be ranked.

re: 1/18 - 1/31 Game Discussion

Carolina plays Wake tomorrow...we should win pretty handley as the Deacs don't have much of an outside shot which always kills us.

I hope Wake plays tough though.

SMU just needs to win tonight then 2 more games then they come @Houston undefeated and I'll be at that game.

#3 Kansas went on the road and lost by 19 to Oklahoma State. The Cowboys are just 10-8 on the year. That's a weird loss for Kansas.

re: 1/18 - 1/31 Game Discussion

What's your take?

More parody this year or just an inferior product compared to last year?

Bill Self is 3-5 at Ok St. For whatever reason they struggle there.

I think there is a ton of parody this year. I don't see any elite teams. I think it will make for a great tournament this year, so many teams could win it.

re: 1/18 - 1/31 Game Discussion

Nebraksa win at Michigan State 72-71 tonight. That's a great win for the Cornhuskers. Michigan State always seems to have bad little stretch but they always have it figured out by tournament time.

I saw this kid play at a charity prep school tournament last year. And he was probably the best player there.
