Wow Texas #3? Even I don't think we'll be that good.

Kentucky is going to wreck everybody with Calipari, John Wall, Pat Patterson, and DeMarcus Cousins.

I'd be disappointed with anything less than Finals Four appearance.

I like Randle and Christopher, and Monty is one hell of a coach, but just like with football....Cal is again overrated.

That's the thing with college basketball. The best teams on paper always disappoint. Like Wake Forest last year, who had three NBA first round picks on their roster.

But Calipari teams usually live up to their hype.

Anyone notice only 2 pac10 teams on this poll. Is there any sport this conference doesn't suck at lately?

So glad Varnado came back.

Now he can aim for the NCAA record for career blocks.

Wall gets all the pub, but Kansas frosh Henry is just as impressive

No he's not just as impressive. Not even close.

And I like Xavier Henry. But John Wall looks like a future NBA superstar.

Finally a game to look forward to this weekend. We'll see just how good Texas is against NC tomorrow at Jerryworld. The first half of the season is a complete waste of time.
