I'm very interested to see what Shaka does with the Texas program.

KU with a solid first half against Sparty! Let's do it Jayhawks!

 

[Planter]

sloppy 2nd half cost us that game. long season though, let's get back to the fundamentals boys.

 

[VNOMIS]

Texas with the upset!

 

[Planter]

glad to see North Carolina go down again! thats twice this season! haha.

 

[VNOMIS]

Kentucky and Duke beaten by unranked teams on the same day. Crazy!

I don't watch much, but I keep up with the horns. Good to see they beat #3. Hope to see them in the top25 soon.

Damn, Planter got banned again? I have not been lurking through SD enough.

All I have to say here is...**** Kentucky!

 

[Branhammer]

Kentucky lost again, but at least we have the win over those scrub-ass Blue Devils :-D

 

[VNOMIS]

Texas got a nice conference with over K state last night. Kentucky continues to have problems with unranked teams. Lol

HAHA! Touche' sir! College ball this season has quite a bit of parity. Should make March VERY entertaining instead of Duke just running through everyone. ;-)

Duke will be powerful again next year though. The recruiting classes are just getting better and better.

 

[VNOMIS]

Texas beat #17 ranked Iowa State for another conference win. It seems Texas can beat ranked teams but not unranked teams. Texas is missing Cameron Ridley bad that's for sure.

 

[VNOMIS]

Texas with an ugly win over Oklahoma state. Two more top 10 teams went down and it seems Kentucky's kryptonite is unranked teams.

That's usually how it goes, champs one year, horribly disorganized the next.

MAN, this year has been brutal so far. I have no idea who I'd pick to win it all at this point. Everyone is so inconsistent. UK has so much damn talent but they cannot get it together. OK and KU look like solid picks for the Final Four.

 

[VNOMIS]

Texas just seems to get up for ranked opponents this year. They got another win over #6 ranked West Virginia. They are 3-0 against top 25 teams this year and 2 of those were top 10. Texas takes on the Jayhawks tomorrow at The Phog. Gonna be a tough one to win.

It's that Shaka Smart thang man!

It's that Shaka Smart thang man!

I can definitely already see him working his magic with this team. We lost to Kansas but I wasn't expecting to win at The Phog. The Big 12 is a tough conference for basketball so I'm glad we're still in the running for the division.

Duke will be good as usual. I think Kentucky will be better in the tourney this year than they were last year. People are doubting them, but they are learning the humility that they never got to learn last year. This year they won't go into the tourney so arrogant. They lost to Wisconsin, who, while inferior, was still pretty damn good and UK took them lightly.
