I know it's a bit early, but let's get some chatter going about your favorite teams and some early predictions. Gonzaga fan myself, and as long as they can stay healthy, they are very capable of making a deep tourney run. National champ? Might be the easiest prediction I'll ever make. North Carolina.

Nobody wants to make some early predictions?
No college hoops fans here?
Go Spartans, i dont watch college basketball too much until march madness.
Michigan State should be good this year! Them and Purdue are gonna battle for the Big Ten title!
spartans have been a solid squad ever since i have been watching, i have always wanted to get into college basketball a bit more but never seem to make time to watch the regular season games.
Yeah, I can see how it would be hard to watch the regular season, with the NFL playoffs and college bowls right around when the season starts.
Gonzaga at #4? Austin Daye a preaseason First Team All-American? I love the Zags, but that's stretching it quite a bit, Sporting News.

My best friend is a HUGE u.c.l.a. fan so I've sort of adopted them via osmosis.
I think Aflolo leavng early cost them a national championship last year.
Now this year Kevin Love is gone after one season.
Still a lot of talent on that team but I don't think they'll be making a 4th straight final four.

North Carolina, are they invincible? I think they can be beaten, but it's gonna take one heck of a team to do it. And there are teams out there that have the potential.

7'7" giant Kenny George has his foot amputated. Career likely over.

Gonzaga's D has looked very good these first 2 agmes. Granted, its been vs. Montana State-Billings and Idaho, but good signs nevertheless.
I was hoping Dook lost the other night to Rhode Island

Michigan Upsets UCLA !!

Surprised. In a big way. Young players, small front court. Lost Petway and Abram. Looks like the Big 10 might make some noise. :hatsoff:

#2 UConn Survives A Scare !!
Squeaks by La Salle 89-81
La Salle shot 50% from the field. They were still outshot by UConn with 54%. They played a very physical game from the start. Their forwards aren't big but they're fast. Goodridge and Mbala combined for 13 rebounds. That ain't bad but Jeff Adrian for UConn had 14 by himself. Calhoun dropped to a zone coverage when the Explorers started banging around. He was smart in that he played his bench a lot. La Salle didn't. They'd better think about that down the stretch.
