If Siena, the Gonzaga of the Northeast, wants to show that it's the real deal, it must win these next two games. Northeastern is a solid squad out of Boston, and would love to steal some of the press that Siena has garnished. Temple is a perenial tourney team that has long since abandoned its mid-major moniker. Also, the A-10 would be the next logical move for Siena, which has shown that it out cl ...(more)

I just don't get why UNC is in the top 5.  This may sound biased, but they haven't played very well this year.  The looked very sloppy against Valpo and they had 20+ turnovers against Florida International.  Larry Drew is no Ty lawson.  There is no way they deserve to be in the Top 5, maybe top 10.  I think they will lose to Ohio State if they play like they did against Va ...(more)

To bad the Terps are not ranked.  I guess Parrish didn't see the General Vasquez dish out 13 assists and bailey broke a sweat with a 38 point victory.  Kansas won by 35 against a weak Hostra squad.  Terps not being ranked is a disgraceful they are better than at least 5 teams in the Top 25 right now.   No worries we need to prove it on the hardwood and we will.

Gonzaga at Mich St

NC At Ohio St (Lets see if Turner has another big game)

Butler at Northwestern.  (this game looked better before Kevin Coble got inj ...(more)

They're 3-0 with a good win over Western Kentucky. They play UCONN Wednesday, and that'll be one to watch.

North Carolina will show us how good they are when they play #16 Ohio State this Thursday. It will be a good test for the Heels and should be a good game. I'm looking forward to this...Go Heels!

 Did the Big East win the final game of the season?  No.  Did the Big East send a team to the championship game? No. Was the Big East 0 for 2 in the Final Four? Yes.  So I think the real question is: Is the Big East really that good?  They couldn't get past the Big Ten's best team, Michigan State,  and couldn't even compete with the ACC's best team, North Caro ...(more)

I know everyone will laugh at what I'm about to say, but Iowa State can win the big twelve over Kansas and I think they have at least a sweet 16 team.   They are deep at every position, they have an all american PF with Brackins and an all big twelve first teamer with Gilstrap.  Just watch out for the sleeper team of the year!

Gary, I realize you have a deep seated man crush on Calipari and John Wall but ranking them #2? Over Michigan State? I think the near upset by Miami (OH) reveals that this team will need some time to gel and would take a serious beat down by the boys in green and white. Reality will sink in for you soon, hopefully.

Look, I'm not saying Butler is not a good school but come on why do they always make the polls when anyone with a basketball I.Q. knows if they played in major confrence they would more than likley miss the ncaa.  they are a good second teer team and thats just the way it is sorry. GO MATT HOWARD!!!!  ( weres U.K. NOT TOP 25 BUT BUTLER IS O.K) and he gets payed to do this.

Parrish, stop outsmarting yourself.  Of course Siena isn't better than Syracuse.  Do you watch basketball?  Siena is decent, but would you like to throw them in the big east?

How did Louisvilleget ranked 19 and 22? I understand they lost to Michigan St., but they should at least be #3. By the way, KY shouldn't be #5 . They have to prove they're good. Just b/c they got coach Cal doesn't make them good.
