grrr, another 1 game loss. 6-5. but i guess in the long run, the challenge doesn't mean that much being so early in the season. just a good way to get your teams toughened up. we'll see what happens in march :)

I'm very upset that I needed Duke to win to keep the conference pride. It pained me to have to kind of root for them lol. And I was very satisfied with the UNC game considering what they lost. If it wasn't for the darn 3 pointer (or numerous turnovers in crunch time lol) I think they could've pulled that out. Good challenge this year. Most of the games were close and exciting.

How 'bout the Heels? :D :D

good game so far. i guess we're gonna see unc in the rankings pretty soon.

Actually I hope they don't get too high. I'd rather remain underestimated than over. Flying under the radar a bit is always better. NEXT year is going to be our year to be back in the big time. Williams has already recruited what many consider the best 2006 class.

I didnt get a chance to talk about my boys because I was at my schools football game yesterday. Go Apps baby!

How about the Devil Blue massacring Texas? I wish I could have seen the game. After the way they played against Indiana and VT I was expecting a loss, but when my dad got the score for me and told me the score, I was like hot damn.

:D Haha that Duke game was great, Redick just shot the lights out...and I think Texas was a bit overwhelmed. I think they might have been reading too many papers that said Duke was going to have a really hard timeor get beat and they expected the game to be almost easy..... well it was, just not for Texas :whistle:

Wow, not a lot of activity in here lately.

Anyway, what did everyone think of the #4 Memphis against #8 Gonzaga game? I think Gonzaga is overrated in their poll rankings.

Probably won't be a flurry of posting until the tourney.

I liked Gonzaga more when they were underdogs. I'm surprised Morrison disappeared for the final ten minutes of that game.

When Memphis put a freshman on Morrison, I figured he'd excel. So much for that. The 6'9" shut him down! I think that just goes to prove the Morrison hype on ESPN is far too early.

Florida is still flying under the radar. #5 in the nation and very little press. I like it like that. It means there will be no ego issues going into the SEC season. It is actually possible they could go undefeated this year.

Of course they could. They only play 1 ranked opponent (as of now) all year.

Thats a low shot since you should know that the SEC season is one of the toughest. UF's real test starts in a couple of weeks. I have never seen anyone complain about Florida's strength of schedule.

And we have played 2 ranked teams, both of which we beat. It doesn't mean they are both ranked now, but they sure were when we played them.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not downplaying Florida. I realize they're a great team, I'm just pointing out that they do have a shot to run the table because they only play one more ranked opponent.

I met Charles Barkley at an Auburn game the other day, very nice guy, he told me he is still planning on running for governor of Alabama..

and florida won't run the table. vanderbilt, tennessee, and kentucky twice.. alabama and arkansas once each..

Woot! UConn lost to Marquette with Steve Novak's 41 pt. performance against the #2 ranked team in the country. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank Texas for knocking off Memphis. #2 and #4 are moving down, and the Illini are moving up!

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
