    Louisa…umm…while Duke indeed reminds me of toxic sludge, I think you showed up at the wrong party…

    Your east coast bias makes you unreadable.

    If you really believe that the Tarheels are no better than number 22, well, I’ve forgotten more about basketball than you know.

    As usual you give no respect to the ACC, Maryland shares the ACC title with Duke and is not even in your Top 25 LOL. If you did your homework Mike then you’ll know the recruiting class that Gary Williams 2009-2010 ACC Coach of the Year pulled into this 2010-2011 class. It is no shocking surprise that North Carolina is in given how many problems that program has today and they didn’t even qualify for the big dance last year and players transferred. You have Butler at 19, a team that went to the National Championship and returns 4 starters, please do your homework. Kentucky at 12, what are you smoking…have you seen what they are bringing in…Calipari will have another bomb squad and make a great run to the National Championship.
