College Basketball

[PMThor]

I am so happy that the college basketball season is finally here. I must admit, it is my first love.

While I don't want to start a war here, I will say this. UC fans, come over to Xavier. Yes Xavier. We don't have the messy break ups with our coaches. Ummm, at least not in the last year and half.

No really, UC should be ecstatic to be in the Big East. Great move for that school. Whereas my beloved Muskies are stuck in the crappy A-10. Once again, I love this time of year. College basketball and football, and the NFL. Ahhh the times are good.

I am honestly annoyed by college basketball... I don't know if it because of Dick Vitale or just the massive number of teams competing for one goal that only about 10 schools have a shot at. It can be fun to watch though, I usually root for the Dayton Flyers or the Bearcats.

At least half of all division I schools get a chance to win it all. There's roughly 120 schools and 64 at least get an opportunity More than I can say for college football.(when will they realize they'll make millions more this way) I predict a great season and now that Hockey isn't on ESPN there will be a game on every night just like last year

I love college hoops, and I don't care for hockey. ESPN will be the network for me!

See this is why I love college basketball. Sure, there are perennial powerhouses year in year out, but teams can and do come out of nowhere to win, and compete in the dance. I just love that. I can honestly watch any college basketball game, no matter who plays. I love watching different styles of offense, defense, coaching, everything. To me it is just so intriguing.

And I am sorry you root for dayton. They are evil.

They may or may not be evil, but I am certain that Brian Gregory is the king of hair gel.

[semiotter]

Hey U.K Baby...Two names to remember Rondo and Sims!!!!!

[AGrizzlyBaer]

and as we start the season my boilers lost to evansville! its going to be a long winter...

[PMThor]

And they got spanked by X.

Come on UC fans. Jump on the cowbell. The Xavier Cowbell. It feels good when you bang it.

[bengalboomer7]

I'll pass

At least now we have more than one assistant coach, we hired Corie Blount

[AGrizzlyBaer]

i read a rumour about skip krosser coming back to coach uc. what would you x fans think about that haha

[Whur CHad At?]

Yeah right, he is to whipped at Wake right now....besides Skippy boy would never betray us. NEVER!

[NJ29]

Look out for 'Zona - with Hassan Adams, Mustafa Shakur, Chris Rodgers and Jawann McClellan, they have some athletes. I guess that's not anything new for Arizona, but still... look out for 'em.

Oh, and speaking of Xavier, what ever happened to Lionel Chalmers - that guy was awesome.

[NJ29]

Man, Cinci is killing me. I thought they could pulled it out against UConn.

[PMThor]

Well, now is the time.

Crosstown Shootout time.

Screw watching Pittsburgh in the playoffs (that made me gag typing it).

It is all about bragging rights in the city.

I will take X. UC has no depth. Xavier will exploit that. The first half may be competitive, but X will wear them down.

GO XAVIER BEAT UC.

[NJ29]

It will be a good one Thor - but I gotta go with my Bearcats.

[Stripes]

I like the Bearcats in that matchup.

None of this matters, because my Wright State Raiders will win the Horizon League, and then upset everyone in the NCAA Tournament and finish as National Champs!

[PMThor]

I like the Bearcats in that matchup.!

Ok, why? UC is very, very shallow. Their starting five are solid, but damn, they drop off horrendously. X goes 8 deep and sometimes even 9.

The shootout will be close in the first half, but then X will pull away simply because of the benches. Hicks should have a good game, but J Mohammed is going to throw up some wacky shots and Xs defense (a highly ranked defense mind you) will shut down the rest. Both teams will be nervous off the bat, but X is just way too deep for UC.

X by at least ten.

69-54

I'm not going to pretend I follow college basketball very closely. I look at the two teams playing, and go by my own bias. Go Bearcats!

[PMThor]

Gameday!

Gameday!

Gameday!

Damn, I love this day! I get to go back over to campus (without being considered the creepy stalking guy), see all of my long lost college friends, and watch Xavier stomp on UC. It is a good day.
