Preseason Scores of Interest

I thought it would be good to update some preseason scores that my be of some interest. There is a bunch of blowouts, and one big surprise. The rankings are my rankings, not the AP or USA Today polls.

(1) North Carolina- 114 (5) Tennessee- 106 (6) Kansas- 94
Shaw University- 62 California (PA)- 46 Pittsburgh St.- 57

(7) Michigan St.- 82 (8) Louisville- 93 (9) Indiana- 121
Grand Valley St.- 85 Georgetown College- 66 North Alabama- 76

(10) Oregon- 101 (13) Washington St.- 80 (14) Arizona- 68
St. Martin- 58 Lewis-Clark St.- 42 Concordia- 50

(15) Duke- 133 (18) Kentucky- 82 (19) Arkansas- 117
Shaw- 54 Seattle Univ.- 63 W. Florida- 43

(20) Texas A&M- 85 (22) N.C State- 94 (24) Kansas St.- 95
Emporia St. - 73 Barton College- 57 Fort Hayes St.- 59


A few of the guys that were on my First-team all Freshmen squad had some great coming out parties in their first exhibition games.

Eric Gordon/Indiana- 24pts.
Michael Beasley/Kansas St. 35 pts.
Kyle Singler/Duke- 23 pts.

The Michigan St. game was a shocker. It is almost unheard of to get beat in an exhibition game for anyone, much less the #8 team in America. The season starts tonight with #3 Memphis blowing out Tennessee-Martin in the Coaches vs. Cancer classic. :) Let's get ready to roll, it's going to be a great season.

Michigan St. lost an exhibition game...I'm assuming they're getting warmed up for the ACC-Big 10 Challenge that the Big 10 loses every year.

yeah, that's pitiful. It shouldbe the ACC/Big East Challenge. The Big-10 sucks
