So much for that happening.
Well, I was close.
Prediction...
#1 will get rocked by a lesser opponent in the next few games and look bad doing it.

Yeah watch that UTEP team they are pretty darn good:thumbsup:
The one thing that stood out in Kentucky's 71-62 victory over Louisville today was the elbow thrown by Kentucky's DeMarcus Cousins that rocked Jared Swopshire's head. Yes, I know the game was rough on both sides, and that, yes, I realize Cousins took a knee to the head in the scramble, which seemed to spark the forearm shiver. But that's beside the point. The point is that Cousins blasted Swopshire in a pretty obvious way, and that a different crew with the guts to eject a high-profile player from a high-profile game would've probably watched that replay on the monitor and ejected a high-profile player from a high-profile game.
And that's the greatest threat to Kentucky's national title hopes. It's not the inexperienced backcourt. Or the lack of aggression against a zone. Or even Calipari, though opposing fans bring it up ad nauseum.
No, the biggest threat to Kentucky's national title hopes is that DeMarcus Cousins seems a little unbalanced and capable of snapping at any time. Or, as Louisville's Edgar Sosa reportedly put it after the game, Cousins is a "nutcase." The guy is capable of getting 20 and 15 in the Final Four against Kansas or of throwing a punch at Sherron Collins before the first media timeout.
How DeMarcus reacts against adversary will be crucial to the long-term goals of Kentucky, because the next time Cousins puts a forearm in somebody's head, the refs might do their jobs.

I would not call it a shock SC has been building a program before they got O.J.Mayo so this had been coming and if the teams in the PAC-10 don't see it I really feel sorry for them SC up UCLA down now you tell me college basketball too:dunno:I'm just saying I'm seeing a very high seed for this team:thumbsup:
Good victory by Northern Iowa at home against Missouri St.; Mo St. did put up a good fight against the Panthers, but just didn't have enough gas in the tank to go the full 40 minutes against UNI. Going flat-out cold the last four minutes of the game really spelled doom for the Bears today.
The USC Trojans have decided to impose sanctions on their own basketball program, which includes a ban on postseason competition at the end of this season (including and Pac-10 Tourney), a reduction of scholarships and vacating all of its wins from 2007-08.

I certainly think this was the right call for the USC Athletic Department to make.

They had to do something. They need to deflect the ~*heat*~ off of the football team/Reggie Bush.
I read the SC administration was upfront with Kevin O'Neill (and presumably the remaining players) and said they were going to endure severe sanctions. If this is basically a lost year, well, deal with it and move on....
The scholie reduction might work out well because it will allow them to get rid of Lil' Bowwow or whomever the rapper is they have on their team (DeMar DeRozan's buddy)....

47-37? What was it...a soccer game??
Doesn't really mean anything at this point, now that USC banned themselves from postseason play this year.
Nuthin' breaks through that Trojan defense bub....
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Hopefully the team will still play hard even though this season literally means nothing....
For fuckups that the Coach and the star player (Mayo) made, the rest of the team is made to suffer. That really is fucked up.
