The Big Ten now has 6 teams in the AP top 25 (3 of them in the top 5). Comparatively, the Big East has 4 and the ACC has 3.

up to 19. i like it. this has to be our first ever top 20 ranking. i'm quite sure it's our first 5-0 start since like, 1930.

Despite now having 16 teams, the Atlantic 10 has nobody in the top 25.
MVC > A-10

North Carolina is getting destroyed by Indiana right now. Really bad shot selection by UNC overall and nothing is dropping.
Indiana looks real this year, I love the pace they play at. Cody Zeller is having a great night and their new PG Yogi Ferrell looks really good.

The B1G is going to brutal this year. Some seriously talented teams from the top to near the bottom.

Not that they looked good against Maryland anyway, but poor Northwestern is never going to make the tournament.

They got 8g and 6g from an IU booster in benefits for travel expenses, meals,.clothing etc.
Moreover, it feels awesome to have been a senior at IU last year for the beginning of the resurgence.

No you're not. That's still a pretty bad game at home though.

I was rooting for Texas Southern solely for your reaction. Then I was doing it because Omar Strong is ridiculous.

Zeller seems like one of those players that plays better against decent teams as opposed to beating up on cupcakes. Showed off some of that new found vertical last night too. Hopefully he ends up somewhere decent at the next level and doesn't rot away with some team like the Wizards.

There's still things he needs to work on (strength, jump shot, etc.) but I just love how hard he plays. You don't see that kind of motor in many big men.

He definitely looked like he was sleep walking against inferior opponents earlier. He brought a heightened level of intensity along with the rest of the team that severely escalated quality of his play. I was beginning to think that mediocre showings previously such as the GT game depicted that he might have been trailing off, but not last night.
I'm most anxious to see him up against Payne/Nix in conference play.

The strength looks pretty solid and i like how he ran the floor. Guess if we're nitpicking the arms could be longer but he's quite the prospect.

He's strong for his build, but he can still use some work in that area if he wants to bang night in night out against NBA bodies. He has the frame to put on some weight though, not really worried about it.
And lol Josh Smith. The guy is 900 pounds, I don't think UCLA is that upset about losing his fat ass.

Smith is from down the road from here in Kent Wash. Should have stayed away from the Krispy Kremes.

We played pretty well in the first half up in Cameron. The 2nd half the wheels completely fall off and the offense hits a wall. This team doesn't have much scoring with DeShaun being worthless when he isn't getting looks and Ross isn't getting minutes. Sucks to lose that one.

Lamb's transfer is also understandable as Shabazz, Adams, and Powell are all blocking his minutes and UCLA has a couple of 4 star SGs coming in next year. So for him it was either transfer or ride pine for the rest of his college career.
That being said they really have looked poor this year and its all on Howland, although I think its too early too judge right now. If they do flop this wouldn't be the first time he highly underachieves with the #1 recruiting class. He's still getting by on those couple Final 4 appearances early in his career, but if this team fails he will very likely be gone.
