UNC is not in the preseason poll because their starting line up from last year was drafted in the first round. They have had some good wins and will factor in as always. As a UNC fan I hate to admit it but Duke seems the class of the nation. Sometimes I wonder what College b-ball would be like with James playing in it along with others who left early or never went. Kind of scary to think about.

Yah, and UNC were humped tonight by an average USC team which cost me a treble. ****ers.


I'm calling a HUGE surprise this year in terms of the National Champion...........As time gets closer, I will unveil it....


BTW, BJB, I thought you were a Notre Dame fan? Now you're a Duke fan too? Are you a Cal-State Fullerton fan during baseball season.

They cost you a treble? Is that some sort of doodad on new digital cameras?
