Only problem is that UNC and St. Johns will be really wanting to knock off the new #1 next week.
As much as I dislike UNC, they have quite the tough schedule.
Ah-choo!
Just kidding. Could not help myself. Personally I think the rankings at this time of the season are kind of meaningless. An awful lot of basketball still to be played.

This after one of my suggestions WAS...go back and take a look...St. Mary's-Denver!!!
LOL a game doesn't need a Big Ten team to be a good game!

Hey Ramy...Saturday night was my first time to Rupp Arena!!!
We brought my nephew and his friend to a soccer tournament outside Cincinnati this weekend, the soccer tournament ended on Saturday, and my husband somehow worked his I phone and we wound up kidnapping the boys for another night and driving down to Lexington!
It was wonderful! A couple of observations...the arena is a LOT newer than I thought. For some reason I pictured a place like the Palestra in Philly, an old building dripping with history. Rupp is not quite like that, but is an absolutely fantastic arena! It's huge, yet still has the feeling and intensity of a smaller venue.
People we were sitting near told us the place is different when all the students are there, but I still found it to be incredibly loud and a LOT of fun! Portland was a game team, and actually controlled the boards for periods of time, but Kentucky was just too much for them. I think Kentucky is a REALLY good team!
Lexington is farther from Cincinnat than I thought....for some reason I though it was right over the river...silly me!
I would LOVE to go back for an SEC game!

Bama looked pretty stout again last night. The more they play the more excited I get about the season.
The point was you did not list it because of who they were playing. And you are right, you don't need a power conference to have a great game. The Missouri Valley proves that every year, but still gets screwed come March.
I was there. Where were your seats?
I have season tickets so I will be watching your St. John's team.
We were in the teens, I think, one section away from center court, about 2/3 of the way up the lower section. I would have to ask my husband to be sure. Where were you?
Before the game we ate at a great hamburger place called Sawyers.
Sandra
I was in section 240 row R seat 16. Upper section behind the student section. Never heard is Sawyers. Might have to try it some time.
Sent from a galaxy far far away.
LOL it was kinda weird being there and seeing the advertisements for the St. John's game! I tried to start a WE ARE - ST JOHN'S chant, but didn't get very far...even my husband wouldn't join in!

Sorry, Sandra - the Johnnies have zero chance of winning at Rupp. Didn't you guys just lose to the NORTHEASTERN Huskies by 14 at home? Jim Calhoun isn't walking through that door, either

Please...no need to apologize. We're starting mostly freshman. Not only won't they win at Rupp, they won't win a lot period.
Still...God's on our side!

Hey, anybody think it's a coincidence that the Big Ten won the challenge for the first time last year, and Anders disapeared from the site? Hope he's OK!
Enjoy!
