2013-2014 College Basketball Thread

Georgia, Alabama and Larry Brown's Mustangs all just lost a recruit who apparently had a top three of UGA, Alabama and SMU to... UAB.

The quality of the games tonight are reason enough for the NBA to get rid of the age limit. JUST AWFUL.

Agree completely. At 18, if you're old enough to die for your country you're old enough to be a pro athlete. If you're not, they'll cut your ass.

Which games are you referring to? I know you aren't talking about Duke/Kansas, which was a great game.

Anyway, I watched a bunch of the games during the marathon, and enjoyed almost all of them aside from the blowouts.

[Woy]

Yeah, that was the most entertaining group of games for a tip-off marathon we've had in a few years. Mostly every game was close.

[NAHSTE]

I fell asleep during game 1, caught the nightcap of the double header. Is Kentucky still unbeaten/unbeatable? Can anyone confirm?

[Sharkweather]

Think I only missed 3-4 games from the marathon, was a great one for sure this year. The Champions Classic went out in style with these four teams. I wonder if they will restart it again with 4 new teams.

Nevermind, guess they already renewed the series with the same four teams.

What the hell is Dave even talking about?

[Sharkweather]

Two more top ten recruits have moved up their announcement dates from Spring to Friday. So now this Friday we will have decisions from the #1, #3, #4, #5 and #9 players in the country.

My predictions.

#1 C Jahlil Okafor - Duke
#3 F Stanley Johnson - Arizona
#4 F Cliff Alexander - Illinois
#5 G Tyus Jones - Duke
#9 F Justise Winslow - Duke

I think Duke is going to come out winners in the big package deal. Okafor/Jones have long talked about playing together, and now Winslow wants in on the action too, as they all three played together for team USA Basketball.

As a Pitt fan, even thinking about Top 10 recruits is a foreign concept. Although I will say it'll be interesting playing against these new Young Gun teams.

For LSU it's also a foreign concept. Australian, to be more specific.
