Having previously lived in the Evergreen State 95-01 and now being back here, I'm a bit of a 'Zags hater. Washington State locals are really obnoxious about their local teams. Of course, now that UDub is ranked the Top 10, the a lot of 'Zags bandwagon jumpers will be jumping back onto the purple wagon. Anyway, to get to my point, I hope we play Gonzaga and whup them worse than last season, which was a whuppin for the ages.Jesus_hurley wrote:We face either Kansas State or Gonzaga in the CBE Classic.

Jimmy Dykes was a special guest during the broadcast of the Arkansas-Ole Miss football game, and they asked him about the pre-season poll. Based on his visit to Duke's practice last week, he raved about their team. He said, as we know, that Duke has the best backcourt in the country, and that the team hinges on the performance of the Plumlee bros in the middle. Other interesting commentary: also based on a visit to practice, he says that unc's ranking is too high and predicts a finish of somewhere between 2nd and 4th in the ACC. Reading between the lines of what he said, I don't think he was terribly impressed with the heels.Jesus_hurley wrote: unc-ch is 9th
