College Basketball 2009-2010 Thread
starting it up.
The top recruit in the country just comitted to Carolina. Michigan State definately a team to watch. I'm pretty sure they brought back almost everyone from last year. Go Orangemen, Charlotte 49'ers and Iona Gaels (the last two ain't going anywhere) Last edited by Loose Cannon; 11-14-2009 at 09:19 AM. |

ROBBIE HUMMEL IS A GOLDEN GOD!
Also, me and my best friend bought season tickets to Butler basketball. They have a Final Four caliber team. Tons of experts picking them. I wont be able to make every game though so i'm selling like half of them. |

And the reason why we didnt get Purdue season tickets was because ..
1) they were sold out and 2) Butler is like a 10 minute drive from where I live. Purdue is about an 80 minutes or so. BUT PURDUE BASKETBALL WILL DOMINATE THIS YEAR! ROBBIE HUMMEL IS A GOLDEN GOD AND CHRIS KRAMER WILL BE PLAYING PRISON RULES! |

Big Ten is stacked
No doubt the best conference in the country. |

Ohio State playing Butler at Hinkle Fieldhouse is going to be nuts.

UNC's non conference schedule is ridiculous. Playing at Ohio State, at Kentucky, vs. Texas in Dallas, and Michigan State.

Dayton vs. Creighton right now. Pretty good game plus it rhymes. Flyers are loaded this season. Chris Wright is a baller.

Today is 24 hours of college basketball on ESPN. They've got basketball on all day. They had a 6 AM tipoff this morning for Monmouth and St. Peters.
Temple is up on Georgetown right now |

Much better than just doing cupcakes for record padding like Florida did 2 years ago (had an RPI in the mid 200s) just to try and sneak into the Tournament. If UNC wins all or 3 of them and have a great conference record, they will end up as the overall #1 seed. It also helps their RPI in case they start dropping a few games since those 4 teams are strong enough to balance out a few weak losses.

I think this is 2nd year of ESPN doing the 24-hour college hoops day and its been one of their best ideas ever. Lots of good matchups and shocked at how Kentucky barely got away with a win.

I don't think ESPN could ruin college basketball if they tried. It's really just the perfect sport and the perfect atmosphere.

College sports are always a little hard to get into early on because of the excess of terrible non-conference match ups.

As well as too many sports are occurring at same time College basketball starts such as college football nearing the end of the season and starting the bowls, NFL in the middle of its season, NBA still early in its season, and toss up between NHL and MLS/Soccer occurring at same time.
Nothing beats College Basketball during the Tournament month though, especially the 1st week with a ton of games played. |

Man, Seth Davis has the Bulldogs down as a Final 4 pick too. Butler is stacked this year foreal. I think Butler and Purdue could make it to the Final Four in Indy this year. And you bet i'll be getting tickets to that shit.
Anyone else planning on going to the Final 4 this year? We should do a meetup. |

I am admittedly not anymore a general fan of college basketball, in that it doesn't excite me to watch teams that I don't have a vested interest in at this point in the season. I follow Mizzou, and now that I live there again I follow Minnesota as well. But Mizzou opened the season against Tennessee-Martin. You've got to be pretty hardcore to get into that.

I guess it's easier to be a college basketball junkie down here. We've got Cincinnati, Xavier, Dayton, Ohio State, Miami OH, Kentucky, Louisville, Indiana, and Butler all within a 2 hour drive.

They're looking like this year's Pittsburgh for the Big East. |

![]() Oh, and also LC, we are definitely not returning everyone from last year's team, and we are decidedly smaller, which is going to make defense somewhat more of an issue this year for us, particularly rebounding, as we found out against upset-minded Gonzaga the other day. The one guy I can think of off the top of my head, and he was huge, both in-game and IRL from last year was Goran Suton. There's a few others who aren't here from last year's team, but I feel as though anyone could look for themselves on our team's website and see who we are and are not returning.

One of the best games of the season and ESPN has no coverage of it whatsoever.
