yeah yeah yeah...can't wait until March rolls around. Probably my favorite time of the year other than waking up on Saturday mornings to find College Gameday on and the leaves turnin' colors.

Not a lot of surprises but some interesting picks.

Davidson in the top 20 caught my attention. Stephen Curry is awesome. I'll be interested in seeing how things play out with UT this year. Both VT and Kentucky got a few votes but not enough to be ranked.

4 big east teams in the top 10.

Looking forward to seeing if Kentucky will be any better this year.

[burton2019]

They play @ UNC in a week I believe.

I listen to the KY Blue Network radio shows sometimes, and there's definitely a lot of frustration among Wildcat fans.

I think a lot of people blamed all of Kentucky's problems on Tubby Smith and just assumed that when he left, the program would turn around. I think its going to take more than a coaching change for KY to re-establish themselves as a top tier basketball program. Right now, Kentucky is not competitive in recruiting the best talent.
