You fuckers seem to keep forgetting that by “College Basketball 2009”, the OP means “If you aren’t a Kentucky fan, then shut the fuck up”. 🙂 ---

People often criticize the Oregon football team for wearing horrible uniforms. Tonight the Oregon basketball team is wearing white and pink! Yes, their shoes are pink. UCLA is winning at least! ---

Arizona State 49 Stanford 17? Wow! Too bad Fox Sports Arizona isn’t televising this. The Pac 10 is certainly interesting this year. Arizona plays Cal tomorrow and I wouldn’t be shocked to see Arizona win. ---

Is it me, or is the Big 12 loaded with good teams this year? When was the last time it had so many good teams? ---

While John Wall gets all the press, DeMarcus Cousins just racked up his 12th double-double of the season. THAT guy is a freaking stud. What an amazing frontcourt: Cousins and Patrick Patterson. Domination. I’m so glad Patterson came back this year although I fear the possibility of him becoming disgruntled because of Cousin’s play. Goodbye Vanderbilt, hello 20-1. Man it feels good to be a UK fan again. The Billy Gillispie era just seems like a bad dream, a bump in the road now. ---

Since Arizona State seems likely to lose tonight, they will fall back in the Pac 10. Every team seems to want to finish .500 At least the tournament winner will make it to the NCAA. No, I don’t support expanding the NCAA. Most of the teams would not be deserving to make a 96 team field. ---

Gotta love the classy fans that threw full water bottles on the floor. I love UK basketball as much as any, but I could never get angry enough to throw a water bottle at a ref. Or drunk enough. ---

If you haven’t already seen it, CBS Sportsline hired the Kentucky Sports Radio crew to do a college basketball road trip. I’m waiting for about day 7, when I have a feeling Beisner and Franklin are going to try to smother Matt Jones in his sleep while they’re on the road.

Eh, UK lost to the Vols, but if you had told me we’d be 27-2 and ranked #2 in the country at the beginning of March, you’d bet your ass I’d take it. The coaching transformation and talent infusion has been remarkable, to say the least. Better to lose now than in the tournaments that await… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/college-basketball-2009/518256.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/college-basketball-2009/518256.md?page=6)
