- John Calipari continues to give zero fucks, Kentucky is once again loaded with elite freshman talent, and is already looking good for next summer.

- Indiana's Cody Zeller will be the best player in college hoops this year, everyone else just go home.

- Top recruit Shabazz Muhammad has been ruled ineligible for UCLA, and could miss significant time.

- After watching legendary coach Jim Calhoun retire, the Kevin Ollie era at UConn started off on the right foot.

And just because I'll never be able to use it again,

There is nothing elite about this kentucky team. They put in what was supposed to be the best rebounding high schooler in a generation in Noel with Cauley-Stein for 14' of interior height and they both got dominated by one white euro guy. Maryland pulled down 23 offensive boards and out rebounded UK by 12. If they would have been able to throw the ball through a hula hoop, Maryland would have won that going away. Duke will light them up tonight.

It's not even Thanksgiving and you're already mayad. I said they have elite freshman talent, not that they are an elite team. I agree, Duke should beat them easily tonight, and I don't even like Duke that much this season.

UCLA!




gdi....

[Bregor]

Noel/Poythress showing me something tonight. They're gonna be good. Not Anthony Davis good, but still.

[Tyche]

Noel had a poor first half. Played better in the second half (Plumlee sat out for half of it). Poythress is incredibly talented. Not sold on Noel.

Noel seems to get dominated by white guys. It's too bad we can't see him against Zeller.

that game was hilarious lol, I now fully support Self's "wtf we have no business being top 10" preseason analysis

[Arvin]

we don't either but hey, both the programs are legit and go to the tournament every year pretty much.

[Plow]

Yeah, I think both will definitely develop into top 10 teams by the end of the year, and I think I'd probably be willing to bet that at least 1 of the 2 will be in the final 4.

Shocking prediction, I know.

How bad has Texas been? Chaminade is shooting 37% from the field and is up by 17 with 1:22 left.
