OK, I'll be damned if I'm gonna spend another hour redoing my whole long post, so I'll just hit some highlights. Forgive me for my disgust, or my laziness, and feel free to add you own here.

On Friday:

# 9 Syracuse 53 - Michigan 50 = Maybe it was just one of those games. Maybe UM's better than we thought, or the Orange is worse. But this was awfully slow and low.

# 21 Temple 65 - Georgia 58 = A decent enough win for the Owls, but not impressive.

# 23 BYU 77 - South Florida 75 (2 OT) = For some reason, much like Boise State in football, BYU always seems to get a rating they have done little to earn. The Bulls are OK, but they are not the Chicago Bulls.

Georgia Tech 71 - UTEP 61 = The Yellow Jackets are starting to play better than people expected. Maybe their loss to Kennesaw State was a fluke, and they may be fairly good this year.

Today:

# 16 Georgetown 87 - N.C. Asheville 72 = Not all that impressive a victory for the Hoyas.

#19 Illinois 78 - Western Michigan 63 = And no better one for the Illini.

New Hampshire 70 - Brown 66 = There's no way for me to prove it, put I picked this as a tight game in my "lost" post.

Rhode Island vs. Davidson = The Rams hold a ten-point lead with 8 to play. RI's pretty tough, though Davidson's not so much these days.

Louisville 80 - Marshall 66 = I expected a closer game than this. Perhaps the Cardinals are back . . . at least sort of.

Butler vs. Evansville = Butler's only up two with 11 1/2 to play. That's not good.

Vanderbilt vs. App. State = And Vandy's only up 6, with 7 1/2 to go. That's not too good either.

# 1 Duke vs. Oregon = Hmmmm. How should we go here? Duke, or Ducks? Duke, or Ducks. Gimme a break. What if it is in Eugene? This one is already over.

# 9 Syracuse vs. Ga. Tech = I can really see the Ramblin' Wreck giving the Orange some game here.

# 10 Purdue ve. Richmond = And this might be harder than the Boilermakers would like too.

# 6 Kansas vs. Arizona = I don't know if the Wildcats will be any good this year or not, but I do know the Jayhawks haven't played any-damn-body so far, so they may be in for their first test of the season.

# 23 BYU vs. St. Mary's = And I'm gonna go flat out and pick the Gaels to take the Cougars.

St. John's vs. Arizona State = One team's trying to get back where they were, and the other's trying to get where they've never been. Both should show up here. Might be fun.

On Sunday:

# 21 Temple vs. Texas A&M = If the Owls don't start playing better, they could drop this one quite easily.

California vs. Boston College = If Cal can score more than 5 points in the first half, this may be fun.

Siena vs. Princeton = Neither team has played all that well, but both programs are decent. Maybe one will make a turnaround, soon.

# 16 Florida vs. Florida State = The Gators have not been consistent, and could give the Semiholes a shot.

# 25 North Carolina vs. Charleston = Don't let others fool you. Charleston has a good team and coach. They came within a basket of beating the Terps in College Park, and their other loss was to a good Rhode Island team. If the Heels don't come to play, for a change, they can fall to .500 here.

That's all I have the energy for, for now. Enjoy.
