Duke is not the 5th best team in the nation.

 

PG Nolan Smith/Greg Paulus

SG Jon Scheyer/Greg Paulus.

SF Gerald Henderson

PF Kyle Singler

PF Lance Thomas/Miles Plumlee

 

I put the favorite for the starting job first. Also, I couldn't actually list Thomas or Plumlee as a center

Pac-10 media poll:

 

1- UCLA (37 first place votes- 379 points)

2- Arizona State (1 first place vote- 325 points)

3- USC (292 points)

4- Arizona (241 points)

5- Washington (217 points)

6- Washington State (188 points)

7- Oregon (147 points)

8- Cal (143 points)

9- Stanford (115 points)

10- Oregon State (40)

 

Clearly was done before Arizona turned into a complete mess.

 

Who's the dumbass(es) who voted OSU not in last?

 

Pity fans.

Has Oregon State ever been good at basketball?

Actually, yes, after they stole Ralph Miller from us.

Didn't know that. Outside of UCLA and Arizona I am not too familiar with Pac-10 basketball. Actually aside from hockey I am not too familiar with college basketball history. Weird considering I like it a lot.

Thank you I'd say there around 10th with Purdue. They both had very similar seasons. I don't understand the 5 ranking

[SouthSideRyan]

Oregon State might still be top 20 in wins all time.

 

EDIT: 13th as of 2006.

Has Oregon State ever been good at basketball?

 

http://i.cdn.turner.com/sivault/si_online/covers/images/1990/0305_large.jpg

Ball State beat them in the tourney that year. :D

 

Notre Dame's lineup:

 

PG Jackson

SG McAlarney

F Ayers (possibly Zeller)

F Harangody

F Hillesland

 

ND will go with no true center. Luke's the closest thing but he's 6'8" in high-tops.

Purdue's lineup is the same as last year. Beautiful thing isn't it.

 

And yeah the champion, especially recently, is normally a team picked as one of the favorites from the preseason. The other rounds have a lot of upsets making march Madness what it is but the champion is almost always a favorite going into the season.

 

And Rchap Florida winning the second year wasn't crazy. When you return every player of importance from a championship team its not crazy they repeat. Repeats are rare ... as rare as a championship team returning everyone.

[Hosak8]

Looks like the expected UCLA starting lineup will be:

 

C Alfred Aboya 6'8" senior

PF James Keefe 6'8" junior

SF Josh Shipp 6'5" RS senior

SG Jrue Holiday 6'3" freshman

PG Darren Collison 6'0" senior

 

Your team?

 

SEC Favorite Tennessee:

 

PG- Bobby Maze

SG- Scotty Hopson

SF- JP Prince

PF- Tyler Smith

I was waiting for the AP Poll to come out before venting on this.

 

 

How MSU can be ranked ahead of Purdue is beyond me. Purdue finished above them last year and return more. If you finish ahead of a team and return more than that team the next year you should be ranked ahead of that team in preseason polls. Polls are always annoying and biased towards teams that are nationally recognized as top programs but inside a conference when its this obvious its inexcusable. Thankfully preseason polls mean jack and it will be proven on the court but still gets on my nerve. The AP poll is worst. No excuse for MSU being 5 spots ahead of Purdue. I would put Purdue at 10 (so the polls got that right) and MSU between 12-15.

I've been complaining about that since the Coaches Poll's came out. Also How does Duke get 5th when they had almost a completely same year as Purdue did last year and have nearly the same team?
