Can't believe Butler rolled UNC. Also GTown and IU in a close one.

I'm ok with that.
Kansas has looked much better offensively the last couple games. I feel confident in upgrading Withey's ridiculously bad offensive footwork to simply "bad," Releford has rediscovered his jumpshot, our guards are feeding the post rather than the 3rd row, and the addition of Kevin Young has resulted in some awesome big-to-big passing.
Still some stretches of offensive putrid-ness when we have certain groups of personnel on the floor, but I can already see the team coming together, and our defense has remained very strong.
Time to watch the Indiana Gtown game.

They've got a lot of length. Would have been nice to see how UF would have fared in the 2nd half of their game against Georgetown but damn condensation on the court killed any hope of that. :-\

Why go with a fade away when you have a smurf guarding you?

I noticed Illinois was getting some crazy continuation in Maui last night too.

Going to fun beating down Butler tomorrow and be crowned Maui champs.

A charge on Paul? A travel maybe but that certainly wasn't a charge.

Illini in full tank mode! They've decided they want to play UNC.
The officiating has been consistently terrible for all the games I've seen in Maui. Too much time in the sun for the refs I guess.

18 game slate featuring nothing but Georgetown vs St John's. The 15 game, 5 round tournament at MSG featuring those teams will be particularly grueling.
I like Vitale. You know it is time for NCAA basketball when he is the announcer.

Time to change the channel. I just hope to god he doesn't do many Michigan games this year. But it seems like the alternative is going to be Bruce Pearl so thats not much better.
I got used to him. Yeah he loves Duke a bit too much but I can deal with the ridiculousness. Saw Pearl in the studio but I didn't know he was going to be announcing as well.

It's such a shame, a black eye for the college game, when a team like Maryland would leave the ACC. Lenny Elmore! Lefty Driesell! Say it ain't so! You think of NC State versus Maryland in 1974, the UCLA of the east. You think of all those matchups between Duke and Maryland in the 2000s that were instant classics. You think Lenny Bias, Joe Smith, Juan Dixon. The 2002 National Championship for Gary Williams, and they're leaving. But you know what that means. More time for Duke UNC, baby!
...is it sad that i'm 50/50 on whether its a parody or real?

I was gonna say, is that real? If not, damn good impersonation.

Movin' on up!
From a sports standpoint, Rutgers is going to be such a drag on the conference

Ugly win for Sparty but I'll take it.
It took zero effort for me to read that in Vitale's voice.
Vitale's been a self-parody for about a decade at least. And he does write exactly how he talks on TV, even on twitter.

This. In the last decade, as more have joined the ACC and, in my opinion, diluted the brand (the basketball brand, the only one I care about), nuked the home-and-away with Duke, etc. I've watched less and less college sports (not just other teams, but my team as well). Also given a lot less to support them (down to none the last several years). This isn't the league I knew, I get that, and I understand it. But it isn't for me. I'll derive some enjoyment out of seeing how it all shakes out but that's mostly it. I will watch my alma mater on occasion wherever they end up, but beyond that I just don't care much anymore.

For some reason I think Iowa is going to be good.
Brian Fellows

This year in the Big Ten 9th is still going to be pretty good I think. It won't take much for them to pass NW who once again is playing a joke of a non-con schedule.
Heck it could even happen tonight if Iowa looks good against Wichita St.

If Iowa finished 4th in the conference I would not be shocked although I probably wouldn't bet on it. I don't trust Minnesota or Wisconsin this season.
Watching Purdue right now. Lots of talented freshmen but they are all similar players and none of them can shoot. Bricklayers. No star go-to player.

No I'm definitely not sold on Wisconsin either. The fact that Gasser beat out Marshall and Jackson for the PG spot tells me Bo was very unimpressed with those two. I don't think they were going to be that great before he got hurt. Now they could end up down there with Purdue. Sam Dekkar is going to need to have a huge freshman year. Which would be rare for a Wiscy frosh.
Minnesota I think is pretty legit this year though.

My alma mater (Northern Iowa) plays Louisville in the first round of the Battle 4 Atlantis, hoping for a miracle!

The stupid elbow to the face rule just happened on back to back plays against each team in the span of maybe 10 seconds. Wow. Purdue game.
Brian Fellows

Was Purdue on defense?

It got called against Purdue. They reviewed it and the other team got two free throws then the ball. 10 seconds later it got called against UNC-W. And they had to review it again etc. Stupid rule.
