7-0

#4 in the nation

 

Boiler Up!

[tangy]

Well, Carolina gave Kentucky a good contest and lost by two. Best game i have seen thus far in the year.

 

Kentucky has some amazing freshman, in particular Wall who is an all around talent. Watch for him.

How does Purdue drop a spot in the AP poll after defeating a team from the ACC easily and dropping 101 points on Buffalo while holding them to 65? It makes no sense I tells ya!

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah "it's early in the season and it doesn't really matter". Blow it out your ass.

Well, as long as they beat Texas, they are good in my book.

 

EDIT: And Kansas.

they won and still dropped? who did they beat from the ACC?. it looks like Kentucky moved up a spot after just narrowly beating Carolina.

They beat Wake Forest by 11.

 

Yeah, Kentucky was behind Purdue last week in the AP poll.

Any other team would be out of the top ten easily.   Butler and Georgetown play tonight as well as Vandy and Illinois.   Oh, and Indiana ( ) and Pittsburgh. Stick it to them Panthers.

Syracuse VS ( can't remember opponent)   I completely spaced and missed the kentucky/connecticut game last night but saw the highlights, once again John Wall was killing it!

[Rush Cocky]

That would be Syracuse/Florida I believe.

So, The Big Ten is thinking of expanding to twelve teams.

 

The possible teams that many are mentioning are Notre Dame, Syracuse, Missouri, West Virginia, and Pitt among some others.

 

I would vote for 'Cuse, as Notre Dame already had their chance, Missouri is in a pretty good/prestigious conference already, and West Virginia's academics aren't good enough.

 

Pitt is viable as well.

I would LOVE to see Mizzou go to the Big 10- not because I dislike them, but it would open up room for TCU in the Big 12! That would be awesome.

My Hoosiers are trailing Loyola (MD) 24-4 as I type this .

 

COME ON GUYS !!

[Xanadu93]

Go Augusta State Jaguars!

 

So far we're 9-0 (the best start in school history) and ranked No. 3 in the NABC/Coaches Poll. Way to go Jags!

And they ended up losing that game by about 8-10 points.

 

What is WRONG with Indiana? That is one team that I never expected to fall off the radar like they have.

[tangy]

Rutgers gave the Tarheels all they could handle and the game was a lot closer than the final score indicates.

 

Rosario for Rutgers is a great player!

 

So I am watching some dudes on ESPN and this guy goes on to say that John Wall from Kentucky ( a freshman ) is now considered to be the #1 pick in the NBA draft. If I recall correctly they said that Wall is responsible for 41% of all of Kentuckys scoring?
