Ricardo: I see far many more people picking Kentucky, Sparty, Duke, Kansas, and L-Ville (before the Behanan news).

I haven't seen any CBB expert or even anyone on NT select Zona as their NC pick. As a fan, I'd be surprised if they won it all.

I also listed Marquette, OK State, and VCU. See a deep run for those three teams. Tourney could be wild.

A sleeper means a team that is not on the radar at all, you get that right?

 

[champcruthik]

There's a difference between sleeper team and sleeper for NC contention, which I explicitly defined and differentiated in my original post.

You can read, right?

 

[awwsome]

Exactly, ain't nobody picking Zona to win the NC besides Sean Miller

 

[worldbeefreeg]

No, a team ranked in the top 10 can't be a national title sleeper but go ahead...

Sleeper to win the title? Don't see a single team that really could do it besides who's ranked.....

Teams in general I'm high on...

•Oregon

•Tennessee (Maymon/Stokes inside)

•Providence (Tons of depth, Dunn/Cotton outside to go with Batts inside)

•Boston College (Fan of Donahue, plus Hanlan/Andserson is a combo)

•New Mexico (Lots of key cogs back, missing Snell will hurt, but still strong)

•UCLA (No pressure, Adams/Anderson should be much improved)

•UCONN (Loaded Backcourt, 2nd year with Ollie running the show)

•Missouri

•Stanford (Experienced, hard tough defense)

Not sold

•Michigan (Burke just made everyone so much more free, I think they'll struggle to score for a little)

•North Carolina (Need a lot of guys who didn't contribute last year to do so now. Not a Mcadoo believer)

•Florida

•G'Town

•Syracuse (Frontcourt needs improvement)

Interesting u say that about Cuse, Im worried about the backcourt and its depth, not many forward combos out there better then Grant/Fair.....Rak/Keita/Coleman are fine for Center, just roll with the hot hand .....Roberson will do some things also

Yeah bad typo. Meant backcourt.

I know Ennis will be good, but if ****ey can't be consistent he is going to hurt a lot. Everyone raves about his practice game, but honestly, he needs to show stuff in the game. Need him to be knockdown for us. 

Gbinje wasn't as impressive as I expected from those games in Canada but we will see.

Biggest sleeper in CBB resides in Queens

Tell us more. 

 

[zs05wc]

Is UConn eligible for the post-season?

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Is UConn eligible for the post-season?

Yes , it was just a one year thing

 

[finallyfamous]

Excited for the season. Lets go buckeyes

 

[worldbeefreeg]

2nd best shot blocker in CBB last year after Nerlens, Big East Freshman of the Year, Orlando Sanchez playing (really skilled big), Harrison hopefully with his head on his shoulders/more mature, one of the best freshman guards Rysheed.

Talent is all there, really will be on Lavin to put it all together which is a little scary I guess cause he hasn't exactly proven he can ever do that. But I'm crossing my fingers.

G: Rysheed/Branch
G: Harrison/Greene
F: Jakarr/Sir'Dom
F: Sanchez
C: Obekpa/God's Gift

Talent is there for a sweet 16 run imo...I know I'm coming off as a homer but oh well. We'll see Nov. 8th when they play Wisconsin in South Dakota.

 

[champcruthik]

Bo Ryan will make that an ugly game. SJU will have to grind. Patient possessions.

 

[scuse7]

Talent is there, but we will see how much they have grown up. That's the biggest question mark, they have some headcases who made a lot of questionable decisions. Sanchez should really help though, he is polished and mature (25 yrs old) so hopefully that rubs off on Harrison and the other guys.

Really glad Jakarr came back, he should kill this year.

 

[awwsome]

The hell you doing 25 still playing in college? Son is legitimately 7 years older than some of his teammates

Look forward to UCLA with Alford, hopefully Slo-Mo can be more ball dominant, Adams is a stud and might lead the Pac-12 in ppg

 

[eashawty]

im ready to see if the harrison twins can live up to the hype or not. after watchin big blue madness they gotta be the least explosive scholarship players on their team outside of dakari johnson, they kept gettin hung on alley oop attempts & dunks

 

[awwsome]

Andrew Harrison is the good one, Aaron is a less athletic JR Smith

And the Arizona bandwagon which has rolled through this thread ever since Sean Miller took over.

I'm expecting them any minute now. Gunna must have fell asleep at the wheel

That Kyle Fogg boy was niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

 

[champcruthik]

I despise Miller. Wanted Pastner after Lute.

Miss the Slim, Gardner, Hassan Adams days.

 

[awwsome]

Slim was my guy, straight buckets


I don't dislike Miller but something about him is very slimy. Very used car salesman like

 

[stephenb]

I still don't know how to embed but BBM highlights and speaking of Booker, Ulis apparently talked to him and said he really liked UK's chances on Booker but we all know to take that for what it's worth which it could mean nothing....

You have to only want Pastner for nostalgic reasons? He's a **** coach.
