Duke would have a good case, but I think most of the voters would give it to Purdue. Duke has been ranked #1 too often. 

It would be the first time ever Purdue would be ranked #1.

Good to see Gonzaga go down early in the season.

Great game! I too was pulling for Duke. Sickening. I’ll root for the Zags in every game going forward unless they play us. Now we need a Duke and Purdue L. Great, great day of college basketball.

Banchero is legit. His cramping in 2nd half was rough and would have cost most teams the game. Duke rallied as he offered nothing in the 2nd half. Call me crazy, but I’ll take Jabari Smith #1, Banchero #1b. Chet at #3. Haven’t seen enough of Jalen Duran but I don’t think he cracks any of these 3 IMO.

I am extremely angry at past brasscannon for staying up so late.  That dude screwed me over today.  The 4 year has too much energy to be doing silly stuff like staying up after midnight 

That being said glad Duke got the win. The zags are favored 82% in the rest of their games.  And I don’t care if they win now

I felt real dirty rooting for Duke.

You weren't rooting for Duke, you were rooting against Zag.

Since you put it that way, I feel better.

You and Archie think a like.  They asked them to pick between Chet and Banchero and Archie said in 3 years Smith will be an All Star.   It was Pod cast after dark with hummel, Goodman and the 2 Miller brothers.  Good listen.     I think Smith is closer to those 2 then people think as well

Wake up.   Maryland//Louisville start the day off at 10.

Play my Hoosiers up with Gonzaga in the tourney please.

We match up well and we’d do just fine.

Exactly where I am.  I can't believe I'm cheering for Dook

Not me. I can't ever root for them.If anyone becomes the next undefeated team, I'd rather it be a team like Gonzaga.

I'd rather it be a team from a difficult conference that has to play true road games at difficult opponents.  That's the only way they can be on the same level as 1976 IU imo.  How tough was our schedule?  The second best team was from our own conference.  We had to beat Michigan on our court, on their court, and on a neutral court in the NCAA title game.

I do like that Gonzaga plays a difficult non conference schedule, but it's just not the same imo.

Just turned it on, and L'ville player walked big time 2' in front of ref and he didn't call it. Ref on the other side of the floor called it. (not his area of responsibility)

Even if they moved to like the Pac12, they'd still have a chance to go undefeated.
