The 2019-20 NCAA Basketball season is off and running.

You can use this forum to express your thoughts.

Most of the usual suspects ranked in the top 25.

Any surprise trams this year?

Tar Heels are overrated at this early stage.
Very shaky and inefficient.
Roy has his work cut out if we wants to mold this bunch into a true top 5 team.
Next year’s recruiting class can’t get here soon enough.

Too early to know much, but I think Virginia is going to really struggle when they get to ACC play. They can't score at all.

But the ACC is down quite a bit, so maybe they can win some slugfests.

ACC isn't as strong as it normally is but the rest of college basketball doesn't seem to be very strong either. I'd still bet on an ACC team cutting down the nets over the rest of the conferences.

Virginia won't score enough to be a major factor this year but next year they should be very good with the Sam Hauser transfer and their incoming class.

College basketball is going to be crazy this year. The final four teams won’t be as easy to predict as in football.

How about my SFA Lumberjacks... #1 Duke goes down...

Axe'em Jacks!

My son is in his first semester at SFA and home for Thanksgiving. We couldn't believe it when we saw that last night. Big win for little Nacogdoches.

Texas Tech looking like a one year wonder.

It’s going to be an interesting season with so many teams struggling to score.

Ohio State 71, Kentucky 65

The Buckeyes now have wins over Villanova, North Carolina, and Kentucky. Not bad for a football school.

What did Villanova do today?

Villanova 56
#1 Kansas 55

Ohio State beat Villanova by 25 points.

rofl.. You guys have to stop posting when you are clueless.
Tech has recruited their best classes in school history back to back with the last not yet arriving.
The best player was out for 3 weeks and their best incoming kid was denied eligibility and they lost some games versus good teams but managed to beat the #1 team in the country at the time.

Beard is a top 5 coach and they'll end up working themselves into the sweet 16 area again.
They will be a national power yearly as long as Beard is around.

Yeah I don't keep up with BIG12 bball since they're normally not very good.

I was telling whoever would listen early this year that this years national champs may reside in Columbus.

I knew my Tar heels lost way too much and were way overrated. They badly lack chemistry too...so far.

But those Buckeyes look like they have “it”

My OSU cousins would go nuts.

lol at least you are consistently dumb.
The Big 12 has been a very strong basketball conference for the past 3-4 years.
Currently 4 of the 10 teams reside in the top 25.

Your Virginia team will finally played a currently ranked opponent mid-January.

What have they won the last 3 or 4 years? It’s been Kansas and then just everyone else. Very weak b-ball conference.

Talk to me when they win something. I could care less about balanced teams. You guys sound like true Cowboy fans.
So UVa finally wins something and you become pompous?
Did they suck before then?
So one play here or there in the overtime title game last year and Texas Tech and a Big 12 team wins. So that makes all the difference?

Im an ACC fan, but I’m not blind
