I think the UT that might win the national championship hails from Austin, Texas. Take a look at who they have beaten. Three of their 4 losses were to Michigan State, Wisconsin and Texas A&M, all ranked teams. They have already beaten UCLA, Kansas, Texas A&M, Baylor(twice), and, of course, Tennessee. They also have a matchup remaining against Kansas State.
Any college roundball fans here? What a great game Tennessee played against the number 1 team, the Memphis Tigers.. I'm not so much a Vols fan, but I do believe the SEC has a lot to prove when it comes to Basketball!!
March Madness is just around the corner. 😀
Watch those Texas Longhorns!!!

Originally posted by shortcircuitThis is true, friend, every year. There's a reason Memphis has only lost one game, it's because they have so many guns. The tournament is coming up, and it will be exciting!

Originally posted by shortcircuitI'm sure you know not to pay too much attention to ratings, the current ones have NEVER caught up to what's going on in real time.. It's the last one that really only matters.. just ask the Gators!

I've been VERY impressed with some of the ACC teams, but it's such a competitive conference. Like you say, the BIG 12 has some great teams too.. love this time of year!

Wow...Tennessee managed to hang on to the #1 position for 28 hours!
In-state rivalries can change any game, ya know?
like I said only one poll counts.. but isn't it exciting?

Yes it is, just like last year. It's funny how the ACC doesn't have such a stronghold lately.
Good thing we don't have the Florida Gators looming this year... or do we?
I agree with whoever said to watch out for Texas. Augustin is a a hell of a player. I'm thinking North Carolina has to be the favorite this year though.

Nah. No Gaytors this year.

Both the Longhorns and the Aggies have a great team, we'll see who comes around.

Originally posted by SmookiePAt least Texas lost. My day was looking as if it were going to be full of upsets. Duke came back from a large deficit to win by 1 over NC State, followed by Marquette being up by 11 over Georgetown and losing (they were up by 3 with 8 seconds to play, when they fouled a guy behind the 3 point line!). All of this in back to back to back games, by the way.
Things are really heating up in NCAA Basketball!
Still watch out for Texas, even though they lost to the Red Raiders today. They are a tad inconsistent, but have unlimited potential!
I didn't see who won the Kansas/K-state game today
Can't wait for the tourney. 🙂

Originally posted by GalaxyShieldI'm completely with you Galaxy! I saw the game that Marquette SHOULD have won, but they couldn't make free throw shots!!!

NC tarheels were in the same boat with Boston College.
