College Hoops Thread '10-'11

Both Butler and Dayton have their respective games well in hand, with under 8 to play, just as one would expect. No shocks this afternoon.

Sunday's games will include:

# 1 Duke vs. Princeton = Doubtless the Dookie fanatics will be looking for a 40-point laugher. I think it will be half of that, or even a tad less, but it should be a W to begin their defense of the title. The Blue Devils are the superior team, but the Tigers are not the walk-overs that most big programs schedule for their openers.

# 10 Syracuse vs. Canisius = Again, I don't expect much of a contest. It's not because the Orange is that dominant, nor Canisius that terrible, but the skill level is not . . . level, that is. Jim Boeheim ain't the only one a full bubble off.

# 12 Gonzaga vs. IUPUI = Seems like I remember something about IUPUI getting hammered by the NCAA for . . . something. I recall no details, and I could be wrong completely. But it shouldn't matter either way. The Zags, as I've said before, are NEVER as good as their mouths claim they are, but they are decidedly better than WTFAT (Who-The-Fark-Are-Them).

# 14 Purdue vs. Howard = Even without Hummel, the Boilermakers should steam-roller here.

# 22 Temple vs. Toledo = The Owls didn't exactly dominate Seton Hall, but I don't believe the Rockets can even get off the pad this year. If this one's not done by halftime, it's time to fire Fran.

Kent State vs. Cleveland State = Here, there's a possibility for some entertainment.

Indiana vs. Wright State = Here too. Besides, I'm always interested in seeing a program like the Hoosiers get back on track.

Notre Dame vs. Liberty = And on a Sunday, no less. I'm not sure the game will be that great, nor do I much care, but if we're lucky maybe another Reformation War will break out between the Papists and the Heretics. For Country, and God . . . mine, not yours!

That's it. That's all I got, for now. Until next week, enjoy.
