College Basketball

[Deebz]

Since we have no NBA to look forward to in November who is planning to follow the CAHLIDGE season if you didn't already? I know the unmentionable Jesus Shuttlesworth is a UNC fan, and they look stacked and a huge national championship contender. Ditto Kentucky.

Love me some College Ball.

Massive Hoyas fan.

Will be interesting to see us after such a close group has gone through. Free and Wright Clark is a good player, but not nearly the leader that Free or CW were.

I think as long as we keep JTIII around, we can still win games, but we will definitely have a similar run to the post Green Final 4 team period before we got Hibbert.

Go Clemson. We were expected to be mediocre in football but are currently 8-0, hopefully the same kind of mysterious turn around happens with the basketball team too. Tipped to finish solidly midtable lulz.

ACC

UNC are going to be stupidly good as long as they can gel better than early season last year.

As much as I hate UNC, them fucking Duke over would be glorious.

Crosby2Malkin wears Duke t-shirts at the gym. Everyone neg him!

I reckon UConn are going to be tough to beat again. Jeremy Lamb is freakishly good.

Faggot.

Lamb is good, but Drummond is even more scary. Have you seen the kid. Has the ball handling skills and passing vision of a guard. But is 6-11 and can dunk like Dwight. He's going to dominate if he can stay focussed (tends to drift in and out of games, as well as not being as physical as he can be). But he has potential to absolutely dominate college ball.

Drummond is a man-child.

This, guy is a fucking beast has a beautiful stroke and can do everything <3 Lamb. Im actually looking forward to seeing what Oriakhi can do this year. Has been in the system a few years now and really has the physical tools that should allow him to dominate down low.

Hows Devin Booker been developing along? Trevor was a monster and the reason why i like Clemson to do well.

Oriakhi will also get much more room with Drummond attracting huge attention.

Robbie is back after 2 knee reco's, great to have him back after losing Johnson and Moore to the Celtics. Most have written the mighty Boilermakers off this season but still still we should finish in the top 15 and get a top 4 seed for MM.

[sblack]

I've always liked this recent Purdue class. If only Robbie didn't do the knees though, especially 2010, I think that was the year for you guys.

[r Kerrigan_DE]

They year before we were number 1 in the country but then he did his knee against Minnesota and we ended being a 4th seed and losing to Duke in the Sweet 16. Then in pre season he did it in practice while we were playing Minnesota in football. Made it to the 2nd round in March this year so not making a final four or even the final 8 with the best trio we've ever had is a shame. Might struggle a little this year, Johnson was so important last year but it all depends on how well Robbie plays. Ohio State should win the Big 10 this year, Sullinger coming back is huge.

No Purdue is crap, sure we lost JJ and Moore but Hummel is the best recruit in the country, confident he will return to his best. Think we should finish 3rd in the Big ten ahead of Wisconsin and Michigan. Don't really rate Syracuse or Kentucky, think Ohio State will be National Champs, very strong starting 5 with good depth and good coaching. Should dominate the B1G.

Anyone that's familiar with college basketball can someone explain to me why they don't have the same rules as the NBA? Doesnt make sense to me seeing as college is used as a stepping stone to the pro's
