Me too. Just saw it again. But I don't feel like arguing something that doesn't matter.

Fair enough (but I still think I'm right)

Aaron Craft took the time to take this picture with my Uncle and Aunt, who is undergoing chemo, and just had her arm amputated due to the cancer! This young man is more than a basketball player, he is a fine young man! I don't care what he does on the basketball court, he is a hero in my book!

Very cool. Great kid, by all accounts.

Honestly not sure how good this team is. But I like they way they are playing right now. They really play as a team, very unselfish and play hard. Watching most teams play, I feel they can play with anyone. They seem to be getting better and better. Like what I see thus far.

Bucks are good. I am fairly certain they are a top 10 team. But jury still kind of out on them IMO. Their schedule thus far is nothing like a majority of the other really good teams up to this point. (Ex. ARZ, WIS, FLA, Duke, Nova, UNC and Kansas)

all those teams rams have played multiple ranked opponents, and have had at least one or two road/neutral court games.

I agree. I don't have the expectations I did in past years, so it's more fun watching this team gel. Matta goes nine deep and has no marquee stud, and their defense is just nasty. It should be an exciting season.

Hasn't helped that of their two best opponents, Marquette went from being ranked to nowhere near it with a few more losses and Notre Dame, until beating Indiana yesterday, had been a huge disappointment, losing to the same NDSU team Ohio State handled last night.

Fortunately, unlike football, schedule-bitching doesn't mean anything as the postseason is the grand equalizer.

The 99 Southeastern hoops team was one of the best I played against. We had them down late in the 4th in the sectional final at Waverly, but couldn't finished. Barbee, Netter, and a point guard with pipes and that team was loaded.

I know---Cool story bro.

Yea, one of, if not the best athletic class to ever come through SE. Barbee, Netter, Schrader, and Wood were all really good. Then you add in Bell, Cash, and Castle as role players. If not for poor coaching, they could've gone further than what they did in the regionals. Thing is, they may have actually been better my senior year when they had Danicki instead of Netter.

Couldn't agree more. Very impressed with the depth of the team this year and the cohesion we see as a unit. Interested to see if they peak come tournament time and how they do come January/February.

Welcome to OC, it's always good to have another Buckeye fan on here.

Very ugly game, but it was a W, and the fact that 5 guys scored in double digits was a positive as well.

Tonight could be a tester. ND will be methodical and play pressure D. Bucks pull away late.

ND is not very good. I've watched them 2-3 times this year and have not been overly impressed. Bucks should win by 12

I'm shocked Marquette was even ranked to begin with. An ugly, ugly team who benefited from the lack of officiating and overall talent last year. They lost 2 of their top 3 players (Cadougan and Blue) from last year. They will lose to New Mexico tonight and I'll bet they don't lose less than 12 games and likely miss the NCAA Tournament.

They have beaten Southern (3 wins), Grambling (1 win), New Hampshire (2 wins), Fullerton (4 wins), IUPUI (4 wins) and Ball State (2 wins). Combined losses for those teams, 43. They did beat George Washington on a neutral floor, one of the top 5 teams in the A-10.

Aaron Craft on Jerian Grant will be a hell of a match-up.
