Old Dominion over #11 Georgtown (61-57)
Richmond over #13 Florida (56-53)
Georgia over Illinois (70-67)
It may be too early to tell, but it looks like the Texas Longhorns have that Championship-caliber look right now, given their impressive victory over UNC yesterday.
It's possible to show you're capable of being in the national championship game, possible to show you're good enough to win it all. And that's exactly what the Longhorns showed Saturday during their 103-90 victory over North Carolina that drew 38,052 fans, among them former President George W. Bush, who after all these years finally found those weapons of mass destruction.
Turns out, they belong to Rick Barnes, and they were used to destroy UNC.
Armed with that deep and talented roster, Barnes decided to run as much as possible, play as fast as possible, use as many bodies as possible and go at UNC for every second of every minute. The idea, obviously, was that it would tire the Tar Heels, make them huff and puff more than they're used to huffing and puffing. Then Texas could pull away in the final eight minutes and improve to 10-0.
On this day, it ranked off the charts. As did Texas in general. And that's why Barnes, though guarded and careful like any coach, is no longer hiding from the reality that this might be the best team he's ever assembled, perhaps better than the team he took to the 2003 Final Four.

Do you really believe a 13 point victory in a home court scenario was a "destruction" of UNC? Especially since Texas was the higher ranked team. I'll take a few early season losses anytime after losing national championship caliber players to the NBA in exchange for 2 national championships in 5 years. GO HEELS!
Hey don't forget about Kanas Cal

Its sure better than UCLA. Its about time Howland realized his best lineup is: Lee Roll Honeycutt Dragovic Nelson
I'm still traumatized from seeing the leg break from Texas A&M @ UW.
At least the UW players visited Donald Sloan in the hospital, but that injury was brutal.
I'll be back in this thread once Pac 10 conference play starts
Go Purple Be Gold!!!!!!
