My Longhorns absolutely owned Tennessee tonight. Hopefully it's because the Longhorns are underrated and not the Vols being overrated.

When the Zags eventually get Heytvelt back, there going to have one of the best young teams in the Nation. This is defintley the best recruting class in the history of Gonzaga basketball. Lost to Texas Tech hurt but still 5-1 and another WCC title seems like a very strong possbillity

They sure pounded a tough Montana team a couple of weeks ago. Not that they shouldn't have, but Montana gave Wazzu all they could handle a couple of nights ago and have pretty much pounded everyone else they played.

What an advantage it is for Montana to be able to play those two programs every year. Mark Few is very good about scheduling teams that have much more to gain from the games then he does. I know he tried really hard to get something for Wichita State when his pal Mark Turgeon was here.

Great coach, great guy.

Big Day today #8 UT vs. #1 UCLA featuring 2 of the top 3 point guards in the country. #9 A&M plays Zona. And #4 Kansas has #24 USC.

Big 12 3 Pac 10 0. As long as UT goofy big man Connor Atchley's early play isn't an accident. I never expected this guy to be good, but he looked like a star against Tennessee. I'm also required to pick UT since I went there.

Zags grab two big road wins against St. Joes and Uconn this week. A healthy Heytvelt and this team has a legit shot at doing something very special this year

Clemson Tigers 7-0 to start the Seaon, last year they starteed 17-0, only to faulter in ACC play and not make it to the big dance.

I have a feeling this year will be different, they got alot of there core players back from last year. Can't wait for ACC play to start in January!

KU takes care of business in LA and gets the Big XII started on a Sunday Sweep of the PAC 10!

Didn't realize there were more than 3 games between the two conferences.

I'm really interested to see how A&M does with Turgeon. Great program builder, but this is a new roll for him. Can he coach a team that already has the talent to compete nationally? Tough transition I would think.

A&M blew an 18 pt lead, UT almost blew a 12 pt. lead but Damion James comes up big with 4 secs left and dunks a Augustin airball.

A&M just doesn't have a go to guy this year. Someone needs to take charge of that team on the court and become a leader on the floor. Josh Carter was pretty invisible in the 2nd half.

And UK loses again. I think this is totally going to be a rebuilding season for them. My husband is from Kentucky, went to UK for undergrad so he's UPSET but understands...blames it all on Tubby Smith who didn't recruit efficiently.
