That was a fun game to watch. Takes:

- Maryland has all the individual pieces but they don't fit well together quite yet. We'll see if Turgeon gets them there.

- So Skal- who sucks and will never be any good- looks better than Diamond Stone.

- Terps turned it over on 28% of their possessions.

- UNC looked really good. When he's playing well, I love Kennedy Meeks. Does so many smart things.

- Jackson didn't have a great game, but played with much more energy and confidence.

- All this "Paige is the best PG in America" stuff is bunk for one reason...dude doesn't play PG! But he may be the best guard in America.

- Appears the top contenders are new look Kansas, UNC with Paige, Michigan State and UK.

Louisville is gonna lose this game by double digits. Ask yourself what Louisville has done thus far that you didn't expect them to. Beat North Florida handily? Beat Samford handily? They are who we thought they were. Don't buy into Pitino's cupcake party. Don't do it today, and don't do it later this month.

Sparty -5 get so good again so fast? at home tonight vs. Cards? Hmmmm.....
Izzo and Pitino have faced each other three times ('09 Elite 8, '12 Sweet 16, '15 Elite 8) and the favorite has lost all three games. Between that and Louisville having played NOBODY to this point, that's an extremely tricky line.

* I still like Duke in that top tier of contending teams with the other guys. They were just a kryptonite matchup for us. They'll get enough points for free tacos from Taco Bell tonight vs. Indiana.

* Can't put my finger on it, but something seems off about Maryland. Titus goes back to '13 Indiana as a reference point where the team had an overachieving regular season, brought everybody back and are playing with the target for the first time. Carolina's extremely good, but when that game got to winning time, you just knew Maryland wasn't going to make enough plays.

* How did Purdue get so good so fast again? They are gigantic.

- Who knows what to think about Louisville yet?

- I think Duke's a step below, in that 6-10 range.

- Is Titus writing somewhere?

New football unis coming, so there's that, I guess. Entire REBRAND of the athletic program, which will undoubtedly be terrible.

If they try to make Rupp's floor look like that Mickey Mouse **** at Memorial... :mad::gun:

I don't think Duke is a step "below", b/c I'm not sure any other team is really a step "above" at this point.

Taking "Kentucky" off of the unis would be a good first move. Maybe try "Opponent" and see if that works?

Lots of 'solid' teams this year, but no standouts. Maybe one or two will separate themselves as the year goes on.

As it stands now, there isn't a single team THIS year that would crack last year's top 5.

Reading the Bardstown thread...man, that is some seriously epic touched up stuff going on down there.

Lass works with a few people who have lived there all their life...and pretty much hears the exact same things. Gonna be one helluva story if/when it's all pieced together.

What the hell is up with Jahlil Okafor?

Whoever videoed that incident should be drawn and quartered on national television for their crimes against humanity. Vertical? Really, in 2015 you don't know how to turn your GD phone horizontally? And right when the punches start you decide to spin around in circles and get nothing?

Die in the hottest of fires, whoever you are.

I mean, that's 2 different people he's beat down in the past month...in addition to his 100+mph speeding ticket.
