College Basketball Predictions for 09-10 Go Here
College Basketball, Video November 9th. 2009, 1:00pm
With a whimper, the college basketball season opens tonight. Isiah Thomas and FIU play defending national champion UNC. The Tar Heels are 31-point favorites. There isn’t an enticing game on the schedule this week. Call it a soft opening. For us, the season begins Thanksgiving week with the Maui Classic. If you’ve had time to scan the Top 25, and the Naismith candidates, and the list of all the great freshman, then you’re ready to make bold preseason predictions. And we’ll make it interesting this year – if you can nail the Final Four today and National Champ in the comments below, we’ll reward you with a “prize” valued at $200. Additionally, feel free to make a Player of the Year pick, and take a stab at the All-American team. Ours after the jump.
Final Four
Kentucky – Freshman + returnees = early struggles. Fine by February.
Kansas – Deepest team in the country, no discernible weakness.
West Virginia – Only lost one of top seven players. Need to avoid off-court issues.
Texas – Return three inside guys (hoping James quits floating to perimeter) and add two outstanding freshman guards plus transfer Jai Lucas (Florida).
National Champ
Kansas
We’ve been hyping Chris “Top Flight” Wright for two years now. He’s probably the best dunker in the nation.
All-American Team (as if picking a starting lineup)
John Wall, Kentucky, guard
Luke Harangody, Notre Dame, forward
Willie Warren, Oklahoma, guard
Cole Aldrich, Kansas, center
Kyle Singler, Duke, forward
Player of the Year
Luke Harangody, Notre Dame – He’ll score 25-30 a night, the Irish will be dancing, and the people who pick these awards like seniors over freshman.
We thought about farming out our college hoops coverage this year – as we’ve done to an extent with the NFL, college football, and baseball, but our lust for college hoops is simply too great. Hell, we nailed the Field of 65 in March! Plus, we have to stay on top of this stuff for our nerdy fantasy college hoops team. First installment of the weekly Top 10:
1 Kansas
2 Michigan State – Only concern is interior depth.
3 Kentucky
4 Texas
5 North Carolina – Weakest guard play in the Top 10.
6 Purdue – Returns everyone, still lacks “take over” guy.
7 Villanova
8 West Virginia
9 Washington – Best in the West – which is very down – narrowly ahead of California.
10 Tennessee – Return everyone, but can Bruce Pearl coach the ballhogs?

November 9th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
Except that they actually added front court depth…well done.
November 9th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
And UNC will be out of the top 25 by January.

I predict that if you go back and read the comments from earlier today, Jay V will poop all over the World Series of Poker for you.
Also of note, college basketball season starts around March 1st.

November 9th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
TBL, that Chris Wright dunk is a mere drop in the bucket. Check this out.
Dayton as a whole is one of the most athletic teams in the country. If the preseason talk of better outside shooting becomes more than just talk, the Flyers will be a legit top 15 team, IMO.

That’s my pick as well. I split the $200 with you, Sparty.

that sounds close to dollar amount for the bet you lost to me last year.
November 9th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
Seth Davis wrote a great piece about Harangody, about how being told by some NBA scouts he might not even be drafted. I’d stay the hell out of his way. Unfortunately for ND, they’re only going to be as good as Tory Jackson. So, not that great.

Robbie Hummel is Purdue’s go to guy. If his back doesn’t balk, they will be in the Final 4. He makes that team tick, but was nowhere near healthy all year last year.
November 9th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
Is Scotty Reynolds still on Nova?
November 9th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
just a note, Raymar Morgan wasn’t healthy all of february and march and state still made it to the title game.
November 9th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Bullshit. ND is not dancing.

MSU lost its best inside player in Suton. Toughest guy in Ibok. There’s no way they “upgraded” inside.

Oregon State makes the tournament for the first time in 20 years.
/where’s my prize?
November 9th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
oh yeah, POY Singler.
Love Hummel, but he was the 360th best shooter in college basketball last year. Good defensive rebounder though
November 9th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
@jpq- good one. I think you nailed that prediction. Since you care, he responded to the rumors on his twt account and said that was false.
November 9th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
You know the NCAA is an inferior product to the NBA when…
Luke Harangody, Notre Dame, forward

November 9th, 2009 at 1:14 pm
okay, ibok was like the team mascot. he was there to foul guys. he made us play 4-5 offensively. Draymond Green and Delvon Roe were only freshman last year, and Roe was still getting over his microfracture. they have Michigans Mr. Basketball coming in, and Tom Herzog finally put on weight, and has a skill set similar to Suton. Oh, and Morgan is a 6-8 SF.

TBL- you want to lose another bet when it comes to Big 10?
November 9th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
He was hurt… ALL YEAR. Don’t sleep on Hummel or Purdue. They will be nasty.
Also, Butler will be a bitch this year. They are a veteran team, who shoots and defends well. They will be there in March and are a Final 4 sleeper. They handled having a bulls-eye on them last year rather well. Think of Gonzaga, except these Bulldogs play defense…
November 9th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
Even though I’m a giant homer, I can’t pick Dayton beyond the Sweet 16. Just not quite good enough to reasonably see more.
Final Four:
Michigan State
Kansas
Purdue
Texas
Champion:
Kansas – perfect mix of talent and upperclassmen
Big Bust Award: UK does not make the Elite 8. Too many freshmen, not enough shooting.

Kentucky is going to be very strong come tourney time. Too much talent even if they are young.
POY- Wall. Hype around Calipari and Kentucky is going to give this kid all kinds of press.
November 9th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
You’re right Wally, he was the 67th best shooter as a Freshman. Not as good of a rebounder though.

TBL- I saw Jai Lucas and his dad in a casino a year ago. Jai was a twig. His gf looked like a very poor mans Kim K.
November 9th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
WTF Fetch?
Are you trying to pull a TBL reverse jinx? Also, UNC flames out in the sweet 16 due to shitty, shitty PG play.
Yeah, this will be true.
Seriously doubt this…read the newly released college basketball prospectus to understand how lucky they were last year.

November 9th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
The only confident prediction I can make is this…
Kentucky won’t be in the Final Four. Neither will any team from the Pac-10 or SEC. Big East gets at least nine tournament teams.
November 9th, 2009 at 1:25 pm

“POY: Sexy Dexy”
POY stands for Player of the Year, not Phatass Of the Year.
November 9th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
Yeah OSU wasn’t even as good as their .500 record indicated. They play a style that nobody else in the Pac-10 does and were able to sneak up on some of the middle of the pack teams. They still don’t have much talent and the conference will have caught up to them more. They’re a couple recruiting classes away still.
November 9th, 2009 at 1:26 pm
The shooting will be an issue all season, methinks. I expect the Cats to see a ton of zone, especially when the SEC slate starts.

The Big 10 is loaded, sorry TBL…
November 9th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
The prospectus is awesome so far…the blurb on Singler complained about how he was given a lot of leeway from people for “playing out of position” but did defend him on the issue of breaking down, noticing that his efficiency did not fall down at the end of the season.
I don’t take CBP for gospel (my bracket got screwed by them last year), but it’s certainly compelling work, and probably the best publication on college bball out there.
November 9th, 2009 at 1:31 pm

Wally – you completely underestimate Cal. he’s at a big time school now. if they’re not on probation by the start of the 2010 season, they’re paying someone off.

Illinois will be top 3 Big Ten. Just waiting to see if the Richmond kid is the real deal.

The Big 10 will finally win the Big 10/ACC challenge…
This is by far the biggest longshot prediction on here.
November 9th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
they are going to be very good this year. the big 10 is going to be insanely good.
November 9th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
clown, if he was Chenowith 2.0 it would have made more sense for him to come out so his flaws don’t get exposed. Yet again you display a frightening lack of logic.

November 9th, 2009 at 1:37 pm

November 9th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Considering two players on Tech’s roster are on the preseason watchlist for the Naismith award, that’s quite the limb you’re going out on.

Why in the world did David Palmer go to from Iowa to D2 Northern Kentucky, did he just not want to sit out a year? He put up 16 in the first half against Xavier on Saturday. Get to see him tonight in an exhibition against Dayton.

November 9th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
I’m saving this for march/april. Just a silly statement.
November 9th, 2009 at 1:52 pm
Ok, of those games, I count 5 ACC wins, 3 Big 10 wins, and 3 toss ups. ACC wins.
November 9th, 2009 at 1:52 pm
TBL loves him some West Virginia. I’m more bullish on them. Jay Wright is the best coach in the Big East so I’m guessing Nova wins the league and that overrated mess of Scottie Reynolds puts up a 40 point game and everyone drools over him.
Syracuse finishes 9th in the Big East. Boeheim whines and Syracuse fans talk themselves into a 31-6 2010-2011 with a Final Four trip. Good day.

I see that Oregon fans remain the classiest in the nation.
November 9th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
UVA, Duke, VaTech, Clemson, and Maryland are ACC wins.
Minnesota, Purdue, and Michigan are B10 wins
MSU@UNC is a tossup, Northwestern at NCState is a tossup, and FSU at OSU is a tossup. Of those 3, my bet is FSU and UNC are favored.
November 9th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
I see 5 probable Big Ten wins, 5 probable ACC wins. Sparty at UNC could well be the swing game.
November 9th, 2009 at 2:04 pm
MSU will run them off the court like they did the last time they played at UNC, or like UNC did to them last year. however you want to look at it, that’s how it goes.

Kentucky will not make the final four, lack of shooters, they have plenty of talent but they will get caught by an athletic team that can guard them and can shoot.
Also, Willie Warren won’t be a all-american I like his game but someone from the big ten will make that list, Hummel, Turner or Lucas.
Also, Freshman POY in the Big Ten will come out of Indiana in either Watford or Hulls. Richardson from UofI close second.
I also think Texas will flop come tourney time, I am not as high as everybody else is on them.
Also, only 2 of TBL’s teams 6-10 will make the elite 8 Purdue and Washington.

Kansas, Michigan State, Villanova, & Cal.
Michigan State winning it all.

I’d say that MSU over UNC is more likely than NW over NCST.

Funny coming from a Husky fan. Was that you who came up to my wife and I and said he was going to rape my wife three weeks ago at the game in Seattle? Or was that one of your “classy” cousins. Or maybe it was you who spit in my brother’s girlfriends face? I got treated better in Oakland wearing Denver gear than I did in Seattle. Keep talking about classy though, it’s a nice coverup.

nw was pretty good last year dont know if that one kid left
November 9th, 2009 at 2:12 pm
NC State is going to be historically bad this year. Lowe might as well start looking for a new job right now, because he won’t survive this season.
November 9th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Put a Husky jersey on and walk into Autzen, then you can talk to me.
November 9th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
What will he do with those fantastic red sportscoats?
November 9th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
I’m willing to bet I won’t have someone threaten to rape my wife, or have some meth-head spit in our groups face. I’ve been to a lot of road games, and by far UW is the worst. Way worse than going to the Civil war in Corvallis.

My brother went to the Wazzu beatdown of UO a few years ago and got swung at for clapping after Wazzu scored a touchdown. Yep, class acts those Oregon fans (and players).

Pac 10 fight!!!!
November 9th, 2009 at 2:25 pm
/haven’t been to a football game at UW
November 9th, 2009 at 2:27 pm
Can’t argue with you on this Quizz. Oregon State fans will never get accused of being over the top, they don’t even care enough to fill up their stadium.
November 9th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
Kansas,Kentucky,Purdue,Texas
Kansas wins.
November 9th, 2009 at 2:33 pm
West coast people are funny.
November 9th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
It could be worse. Ernie Kent could be our head basketball coach.
November 9th, 2009 at 2:39 pm
Yeah there is a lot worse than watching NBA talent and making elite 8s.
/Oregon will finish better than Oregon St in pac-10 play this year.
November 9th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
First All-American list I’ve seen not mentioning Evan Turner..who could average a triple double this year. OK that part was a lie. But he’s pretty nasty (at ballhandling). Ok but seriously folks.
November 9th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
ahhhh, got it, sparty. yes, we’ll have to hit a game next season.
November 9th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
aka, you’re never getting your winnings.
November 9th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
/said the same thing last year
November 9th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
why are so many people riding kansas’ jock? top ten yea, not gonna win it.
November 9th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Did you skip my comment? Jerk
November 9th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
bbryan, you may be the first Oregon fan I have talked to who actually likes Ernie Kent. Talked to a guy who was recruited by Kent at St. Mary’s. He said he was a scumbag who was hitting on college girls on his recruiting trip there.
/hearsay is enough for me

Thank you

and tallguy: when I said is the prospectus true I meant is it good. Wow I am retarded.
November 9th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Way, way late to the game on this. I’ll go:
FF: Texas, Mich. St., Oklahoma, Cal
Winner: Mich. St.
All-Americas:
Warren
Scottie Reynolds
Jarvis Varnado
Ed Davis
Aldrich
POY: Warren. The Big 12 streak continues.

I don’t like him much, I’m just in a very fiesty mood after taking shit from a husky fan about how our fans act. I think his on the court results have been as good or better than what an Oregon program can expect. But he’s a dog shit human being that is for sure. Anyone who goes around and tells everyone how great of a person they are usually turns out to be a piece of shit. And the fact that none of his good former players come around the program is a telling sign that they all hate him.
November 9th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
love the enthusiasm kid, but they are the better team right now.
