B1G could possibly have 4 teams in the top 10 next week. After a slow start to the year the B1G is looking strong. Maryland dominated Marquette. Maryland looking just as good as any other team in the country

Have to wonder if Purdue pulls the redshirt on Brandon Newman to try to get some offense going.

He's probably nothing special but he could inject some life into their shooting.

I didn’t realize pu gets UVA at wackey until today. What’s the o/u on that game? 30 might be enough to win it.

Not sure where exactly to put this but Kent Benson and his family are going through some very hard times, both medically and financially at the moment, and are publicly asking for help. There is an address at the end of this article where any donations can be sent.

 The question about Maryland has revolved around the coaching rather than the talent. Turgeon has them playing very well this year so far.

It’s way early but I just don’t see them being a team (coach) that goes past the sweet 16.

Butler moved into the AP. Florida St is 17. They think highly of Purdue despite their record. We are still getting less votes than 4-3 Purdue. There seems to be a lot of people voting for teams they did in previous weeks regardless of who they beat.

Status check for UNC. Ouch. If they make it out of the week 1-1 that would be a huge win.

Every time I see Washington ranked a chuckle. I don’t trust anything coming out of the PAC-12 except Arizona.

Loads of talent though. I get it.

Flashback. Naz Carter is pretty good. Remember him?

I shared this link in the book thread on here, but though I would repost in this thread to reach a wider audience of College Basketball fans.

In January, a book on the plane crash where the Evansville Team was killed in 1977 is being published. It looks interesting

Isn't he Jay Z's cousin/nephew or something?

Yep he was committed to Archie and Dayton for 2017 class before Archie left.

Archie had Jay Z's cousin and Giannis' brother? That would have been fun with them showing up to games.

Sean Miller was a terrible coach last season but now has a pretty solid team. I doubt it had much to do with the talent...

I think Oregon and Arizona are the cream of the crop in the PAC 12. Washington is a step below them.

Wonder what this is all about.

Jeff Borzello -

Georgetown announces that point guard James Akinjo and Josh LeBlanc are leaving the program. Akinjo was averaging 13.4 points and LeBlanc was averaging 7.2 points.

 

247Sports reporting both have entered the NCAA Transfer Portal.

Wow. I’d take akinjo in a heartbeat if his head was screwed on straight but something tells me it ain’t.
