Sounds like KU and UCLA will do a home-and-home starting in 2009-2010.

 

 

Will that be part pf the Big XII/Pac-10 Throwdown or whatever the hell it's called, or is this separate?

 

Regardless, that's good news. I'd love to get UK, Duke, or UNC regularly on the schedule, too.

 

Duke will gladly play a home-and-Greensboro series.

 

Maybe a 2 for 1 Home-UC-Home

Not sure, it could be since the UCLA-Texas home-and-home for the Big XII-Pac 10 ends this coming season.

 

KUSports.com[/url]"]• KU vs UCLA?: Adam Zagoria of zagsblog.net writes that KU will begin a home-and-home series with UCLA in 2009-10.

 

KU senior associate athletic director Larry Keating, who is charge of the Jayhawks’ scheduling, said if that series happens, it’d be part of the Big 12/Pac 10 Hardwood Challenge series.

 

“We’d like to play them,” Keating said of the Bruins. “We’ve talked in general about it with them in the past. We play Arizona this year (in the challenge) and will get a new opponent the following year (in Challenge). The schools talk, the leagues talk, and TV is involved (in making attractive matchups).”

 

 

I foresee a Raisin/Snood man-date to Pauly coming up. I'll try not to gloat too much when we win.

 

Just like the last time the two teams got together, eh?

 

 

My memory only goes as far back as this:

Can't keep craping out early in the tourny if you actually play some hostile road games to toughen your team up.

You don't need more back-up bigs; you need some quality starters down low.

Agreed. I thought Lance Thomas was a top 20 talent coming out of high school. He was either massively overrated or got a lot worse right before he went to college.

Couldn't happen to a better program: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=3479195

 

Arizona signee Brandon Jennings has decided to make an unprecedented move to forgo playing in college and instead pursue a professional career in Europe next season before likely entering the 2009 NBA draft, Jenning's attorney, Jeff Valle, told ESPN.com on Tuesday night.

 

"Over the course of the last two months I have consulted a number of people in basketball before coming to this decision," Jennings said in a statement released through Valle. "I would like to thank the University of Arizona for their interest and support through this process."

 

Valle said Jennings will not even wait for his third standardized test result to see if he got a qualifying score after his second test was questioned by the NCAA. The results from the third test are due later this week.

 

I like how they're pretending like the test results aren't out yet. Like they don't rush results for scholarship athletes.

So guys like Brandon Rush and Beasley who went to 5 high schools can get in and Allen Iverson can using a GED after being in jail for his senior year can get in, but this kid can't? What a farce the NCAA is. I hope this is the start of a new trend. The NCAA has way to much power over these kids.

And Jennings testing scores didn't qualify. Probably shouldn't have made it so obvious that he was cheating the second time.

I hate that stupid 1 and done rule with a passion. I'm glad this kid is pushing the envolope and going over seas. If he does well there, more may do it. I'll bet he doesn't make as much money as Mayo did at USC though.

God I hope Tyler Honeycutt becomes a Bruin. TheSylmar small forward on being called by coaches across the country:

 

The attention is a little overwhelming for Honeycutt, who said every time his phone rings it's a different area code. When legendary Arizona coach Lute Olson called last week, Honeycutt asked high school coach Bort Escoto afterward, "Who's Lute Olson?"

 

:D

Some blogger on MSNBC's sports is doing a top-25 all-time basketball programs. He's up to #14 (Illinois, which is curiously rated higher than Michigan State.) I already disagree with some of it, but it's still interesting.

i would assume, without reading any of the article, that Illinois' rating is largely based upon its number of tourney appearances (regardless of the results) and the success of the "Whiz Kids" in the 50s

For ACC fans, the Raleigh, NC CBS station just started a bracket-style contest to pick the greatest ACC team ever.
The 1974 NC State team beat 1992 Duke to win the championship. The NC State team was the David Thompson led team that ended UCLA's long run of consecutive titles. The 1992 Duke team was their second consecutive championship (first team to win back-to-back titles since UCLA). That was the team that beat Kentucky in the regional championship game on Chistian Laettner's miracle buzzer-beater.

Stopped when I saw ND at 22. They get favoritism in basketball too I guess. To have them over Purdue (and I'm sure a couple other teams) just isn't right. Purdue and ND's win percentage are very close (both in the mid 60's). They are close in pretty much every way and are perhaps the two best programs without a title (can't think of another at the moment). The different is Purdue's extra final four appearance and the fact that Purdue has the most Big Ten titles more so than the other 5 or so Big Ten schools that will likely be on the list. I would probably exclude both from the top 25 due to lack of title (would have to research the schools that aren't in to make sure) but if one gets in its the one that has beaten many of the other schools on the list most and thats Purdue.

I don't think Illinois has a title, at least not an NCAA.
