Fuck yes! Bama at #17. I haven't been this excited about our basketball program in a looongg time!

go nova

make the tournament

Should be a great season, especially with all the players who elected not to enter the draft. Should see some quality hoops.

can't wait to follow college basketball for the first time this year because the nba is stupid

WVU should be ok this year.

woooooo

Vanderbilt and Memphis are overrated, even Wisconsin is a bit overrated. Marquette is right as expected at 21. Baylor and Xavier are question marks for me too. Obviously, the first few polls don't been squat anyways. haha

Pumped at the NYC area getting some incredible games! We got the Legends Classic (Vandy/NC State/Texas/Oregon St) and the Champions Classic (Duke vs Mich St/Kentucky vs Kansas) not to mention the Jimmy V and Coaches vs Cancer.

I think Nova plays Mizzou at MSG this year, may have to try and go to that

Florida = overranked.

Sub-wait for it-scribed!!

Go Dawgs!

only 2 ACC teams ranked. No surprise I guess, but I'd like to see some improvements from FSU, Clemson, VTech, etc.

can't wait for some random team to knock off a couple top ten teams at the maui invitational, be declared the team to beat and have their faces all over espn and then never accomplish anything the rest of the season.

Like UConn last year?

UNC-Greensboro is in the Maui Invitational, that is a joke.

EDIT: Just realized that they are only in the "mainland teams." How is it the Maui Invitational if they aren't playing in Maui?
