It should make for interesting March Madness brackets this year!

I hope Oden lives up to the hype. If he does, OSU may be unstoppable. Maybe I don't hope he lives up to the hype.

I saw him play in high school in a game against a team that had the Warriors' Monta Ellis on the other team. Two things: (1) Oden is the real deal ...a man child. He is a true center, however, so he is not comparable to LeBron James, for example, and (2) Monta Ellis was a revelation in that game. I can't believe that the Warriors' got him in the 2nd round. A true steal.

The Terps are definitely back, man I love ACC basketball. This is one of the deepest freshman classes that I've seen in a long time. Oden and bunch are going to be special players down the road.

I've watched a lot of games this year and Ohio St. is by far the best team. Very athletic and a head above the rest. UNC had to work hard, at home, and with Oden on the bench to win. Great game though.

I'm waiting until the 23rd to make my decision about OSU...same with Florida. :wink: Although, I think both OSU and Florida are top 10 teams, neither of them should be in the top 5 until they start playing better teams. My favorites to watch will be UCLA, Memphis, Texis, Kansas, Kentucky and of course, my Zags.

Just a side note about the Zags...I think we're going to play pretty well this year. I was iffy with the first two games I saw without Morrison, but we're playing more as a team with more people touching the ball. Only weakness, thus far, was seen in the Butler game with sad perimeter defense. We are playing more consistent now and should only get better when Micah heals and Burgess is elligible to play.

Im just excited that Nebraska might actually make the NCAA turny finally, they are 5-0 and playing some pretty good ball. but we will see how good we actually are once we hit Big XII play.

The big 12 is way down this year and missouri seems to be the cream of the crop.

My very early final four has Florida, North Carolina, and OSU. Not sure about the 4th as of today, but I like Marquette and my Terps to make some noise.

Just got home from storming the court in Tallahassee. Don't print those Final Four passes for UF just yet. FSU completely shut down Noah. Let's Go Noles!

NCAA basketball has to be the best live experience...and yes, I've been to five lacrosse Final Fours.
