Arkansas 20. Kentucky 21. N.C. State 22. Pittsburgh 23. Stanford 24. Southern Ill. 25. Kansas St. USA Today/ESPN Top 25 1. North Carolina (10) 2. UCLA (12) 3. Memphis (8) 4. Kansas (1) 5. Georgetown 6. Louisville 7. Tennessee 8. Michigan St. 9. Indiana 10. Washington St. 11. Duke 12. Marquette 13. Oregon 14. Texas A&M 14. Gonzaga 16. Texas 17. Arizona 18. USC 19. Arkansas 20. Pittsburgh 21. Stanford 22. Kentucky 23. Southern Ill. 24. N.C. State 25. Villanova Also, what's the deal with Michigan teams? In case you haven't heard, #8 Michigan St. lost to division II Grand Valley State in an exhibition game. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=3092661 The Hogs have a new coach this year: John Pelphry. I'm pretty excited they are going back to the "40 minutes of hell" style of offense. Pelphry seems to be a big discipline guy which is nice. In the annual red and white game this year, he suspended some guys leaving only nine players available. What did he do? He suited up himself, and played. He still got the 3 ball he had at Kentucky. He made one in the game, and he also snagged a couple of rebounds. Sweet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

boywiththorninside Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 UConn's basketball team is unranked and yet their football team (they have a football team?) is ranked #13 this week. I am a confused alum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jesselne Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Also, what's the deal with Michigan teams? In case you haven't heard, #8 Michigan St. lost to division II Grand Valley State in an exhibition game. I like to pretend that that didn't happen, especially since on paper, it didn't happen. I was there, 8 rows off the floor, and I can tell you that our freshman are simply amazing, we just need to get our returning players to remember how to play basketball.

bobbob1313 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Golden Panthers are gonna make some noise in the Sun belt. I'd be ecstatic if they could win the SBC tourney and get a tourney bid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PigSooie Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 Golden Panthers are gonna make some noise in the Sun belt. I'd be ecstatic if they could win the SBC tourney and get a tourney bid. Who is supposed to be the favorite in the Sun Belt this year? I know ASU is supposed to have the best guard there since Chico Fletcher. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know ASU is supposed to have the best guard there since Chico Fletcher. Western Kentucky, ASU, ULM should all be up near the top. I'm actually supposed to be sending the Sports Editor of Arkansas State's studen paper our preseason predictions and 1st and 2nd teamers today. For the record, here's my conference predictions: Men:EAST DIVISION: 1. WKU, 2. South Alabama, 3. FAU, 4.FIU, 5. MTSU , 6. TroyWEST DIVISION: 1. ULM, 2. ASU, 3. New Orleans, 4. North Texas, 5. UALR, 6. ULL, 7. Denver Women:EAST DIVISION: 1. MTSU, 2. WKU, 3. South Alabama, 4. FIU, 5. Troy, 6. FAUWEST DIVISION: 1. UALR, 2. ULL, 3. Denver, 4. ASU, 5. ULM , 6. UNT, 7.

Fortunately, I was able to drive to work by the ample light given by the steady throng of torches approaching the campus area. The pitchforks were a nuisance, admittedly, but manageable. Film at 11.

PigSooie Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 Hogs over Wofford 67-45 Seems like the Hogs missed several fast break gimmies. Not the start I expected, even though, they won by 22. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
