The CAA is going to be an absolute war this year, quite possibly going down to the very last weekend to settle things. Look for VCU, GMU, ODU and Northeastern to pull off at least a few upsets in the non-conference portion of their schedules. The CAA tournament in Richmond is going to be epic.
Do any coaches live off their reputation more than Jim Boheim and Gary Williams? The two most overrated coaches in basketball. Hall of famers according to their fans, I wouldn't trust either of them to coach my son's elementary basketball team, and I don't even have a kid, nor do elementary schools have basketball teams. So there you go.
My early, early Final 4 prediction: The last 4 teams left in the tournament, 1 from each of the 4 regions, will make the Final 4 (more to come later).
The Pac 10 sucks. It sucks in football, it sucks in college basketball, when does it officially lose BCS status? If 1 team from the Pac 10 makes the Sweet 16, I will be very surprised. Maybe Washington, and only if they are given an easy road (no playing top level mid-majors in the opening round).
Kentucky really impresses me, no one cheats like the Bluegrass Wildcats.
Thank god for college basketball season, because college football is really, really, really boring this year. I mean, unless you like rooting for asshats like Urban Meyer or Nick Saban, in which case, this is your year, but for me, college basketball is it, mostly because they actually have a playoff to determine who is the best team.
Stay tuned for our big season preview....no really, think Jamie Dixon's ego big, think Rick Pitino's embarassment big, hell, think Billy Packer's puckered anus big.....I bet you can't wait now can you? Yeah, me either.
