Rumblings
Well, Marquette pissed one away last night; youth will do that. Other losers include UCLA who is laughable right now. 2-4 with losses to Portland, Butler, and Long Beach State. It's one thing to lose to a couple Big East teams but you;re looking at the Horizon, West Coast, and Big West representatives (2 of which I didn't even have winning their conference preseason). The Pac-10 is looking like they'll be be a 2 bid league unless somebody starts representing. Lastly Wake Forest losing to William and Mary on Saturday should also not be dismissed. Wake lost a couple players and need to figure it out how to win before conference play begins.

No Championship for MU
Really, has anything good ever come out of Florida State? Marquette falls by 1 in the Old Spice Classic Championship after holding a 12 point lead at halftime and at one point having a 17 point lead earlier in the game. I didnt see much of it, but it appears it was a combination of the young team coming undone at a slowdown pace in the second half and a Buzz Williams lack of coaching by leaving Soloman Alabi single teamed down the stretch. Still a good showing for MU in this tourney, next up is currently unbeaten NC State on 12/5.
Tiger followup. It is funny now watching ESPN squirm, knowing they have to cover this and also knowing there is no good way to spin this. Nice statement he released. Here's the synopsis - "It was all my fault, dont ask any questions." Anyone with half a brain knows it was either drinking or a mad woman. The 911 portion where Elin is screaming to the police "He got weed" were edited out. Never cross a mad woman - I direct you to 3:05 of the Chris Rock video:

Hmmmmmm followup
Yes, hopes are high with the Duke win but let's not get to fanatical about this 1 game. Uconn played dangerously out of control for most of the second half which plays right into the defense pressure of the charge taking defense of Duke. In the first 10 minutes of the game Uconn used the altheticism of Stanley Robertson to hold a 5 point lead. Once Duke climbed back in with a couple 3's the Uconn guards decided dribbling around and going one on one was the way to go. That falls right into what Duke wants with their weakside help sliding right in. Hey, when your center is 7-1 and slow as molassas you might as well park him just in front of the semi circle and pray. On the plus side Andre Dawkins and Nolan Smith looked good again and if you can beat the 13th ranked team in the country with your best player only scoring 5 things look positive.
Outside of the Duke game some promising trends continue. Butler beats UCLA perhaps foreshadowing the Pac-10 only getting 2 teams in and Portland beats Minnesota. Perhaps the WCC will get 2 bids this year as well.

Re: Hmmmm..
Yes, hopes are high. We shall see. Tell you what, let's just award Duke the title now and save ourselves some time.
As far as Tiger Woods is concerned, the better question is this: How many of you, after hitting the fire hydrant and neighbor's tree while managing to NOT roll your Cadillac over at 2:30 in the morning, have had your wife bust out the back window of said upright SUV with a golf club to rescue you? I wonder which club she used?

Hmmmm.
Perhaps my earlier posting about it being a long year in Marquette land was a bit premature. Nice win today over Michigan after taking out Xavier yesterday, gives me some hope for the year. Marquette is very quick...and very undersized, which will hurt them when the matchup isnt good. But they looked good the last two games at least. I'm just shocked that they've been able to make up that loss of shooting accuracy with Dominic James not being there. And you all thought Centenary, Grambling, and South Dakota werent good prep games. Shows what you all know.
Nice win by Duke. How hard is it for you guys not to get your hopes up exponentially high?
Lets see, Tiger Woods leaves the house at 2:25 AM and promptly hits a fire hydrant and the neighbor's tree. Dont overthink this. When is the last time you were stone sober and just happened to run into a hydrant and tree within 20 feet of your driveway? And who leaves at 2:25 AM anyways? yo qiero Taco Bell....

UCLA Sucks
Losing by 27 to Portland. Ha, that's funny. I did hype Portland earlier in the season and talk about how bad the Pac-10 was going to be but 74-47 Portland over UCLA is ridiculous.

November Mid Major Mania
Just a quick update this morning about a couple mid major upsets last night. First VCU easily handles Oklahoma leading from start to finish for a 10 point win. Second, Portland, who I think will give Gonzaga a run for it's money in the WCC upends Oregon. Third Sacramento State, who I believe are the Hornets squeak out a victory at media darling Oregon State, coached by Craig Robinson. Robinson if you are not aware is the brother in law of Barack Obama who is SAVING AMERICA RIGHT NOW.
That's CHANGE baby!

Saturday Morning Update
North Carolina loses which is enought to make me happy for at least 24 hours but the real news is who they lost to. Syracuse completes a remarkable 2 week turnaround where they lost to a division 2 team but then comes back to win the Coaches vs Cancer tournament. In other news California got exposed for their lack of size against both Syracuse and Ohio State. If this is the best the Pac-10 has to offer don't look for any Pac-10 team in the sweet sixteen this year.

Duke and other notes
So far they've looked good, but they usually do at this point of the season. Nolan Smith was impressive yesterday going for 24-5-5 while Kyle Singler looks like an All-American. By putting Scheyer at the point it really frees up Smith to florish as a off-guard. Right now they are going 9 deep with Czyz getting time and their top freshman won't see minutes until mid-December. Is it possible this team could be better than I thought?
As for the rest of the county lets run down the normal suspects. Kansas - won by 2 against a depleted Memphis, Kentucky needs a buzzer beater to beat Miami....of Ohio. UCLA loses at home to Cal...St Fullerton. On the flip side UNC looks like world beaters still and Villanova (with traitor Taylor King putting up 14) destroyed Penn.
It's early but still exciting.

Updated Bracket, or not
Ran out of time for the updated bracket this week. Suffice to say Mississippi State will be dropping as will Notre Dame who I might have inflated a little bit pre-season. I guess I was thinking Haragody would have a Danny Manning like season. Geez, I pull out Danny Manning like he's still relevant; that was like 20 years ago. By the way, 34 years ago fellow OCMM'er Dan Niemi was born. Happy Birthday big fella. I hope you get a Duke win tonight.
Also, if you are home sick today check out ESPN as they are running 24 straight hours of college basketball.

Unconfirmed
Nolan Smith was actually suspended for playing a pick up game against the guys from the And-1 Mix Tape Tour. Evidently he got pissed when called out by the Professor, and was taped mixing it up with Escalade, Helicopter, and 8th Wonder. Insert favorite crazy And-1 announcer muffled mic screaming here....
Mason Plumlee, in reality, tripped over his jaw while mouth-breathing his way down the court. Corn-Fed Wisconsin 6-10 white guys do not have this problem.
Hey, give me a break. Its gonna be a long year in Marquette land, I have to amuse myself somehow...

Perfect Start to the year
CBSSports.com wire reports
DURHAM, N.C. -- One of No. 9 Duke's projected starters is out indefinitely with a broken wrist.
Team officials said Thursday that freshman Mason Plumlee fell hard during practice a day earlier and broke his left wrist. They say he injury will not require surgery, and will be evaluated weekly by the team's medical staff.
The 6-foot-10 newcomer was expected to join his older brother Miles Plumlee in the Blue Devils' bulked-up frontcourt. He averaged 12 points and eight rebounds in a pair of exhibition routs.
That makes two projected starters who won't be in the lineup Friday night when Duke opens the season against North Carolina-Greensboro. Guard Nolan Smith must sit out two games for playing in an unsanctioned summer league.

Syacuse
Who saw them lose to a Division II school on Wednesday? Hilarious. So, the AP has them ranked 25th in country and they can't beat what amounts to UW-Parkside. I guess I'll have to pull them out of my preseason bracket. Oh wait, I didn't put them in to begin with. Me > AP

Orlando Magic's JJ Redick Releasing Rap Album
Orlando Magic shooting guard J.J. Redick will soon become the latest basketball player with his own unnamed rap group.
According to Redick, he’s part of a “rap super group” that will release a new single before the end of the year titled “Waste Management.”
“We’re working on a rap CD,” Redick revealed. “We actually haven’t come up with a name from the group, we’re throwing around some ideas right now.”
Redick listed a number of potential names for his new rap crew, including Sub-par, Afterthought and No-“Profits.”
“The chorus has been written and the first verse and the direction we’re heading on the song has to deal with ‘waste management,’” Redick elaborated. “We’re not taking ourselves to seriously. We have some influences, and when you hear our sound eventually, you’ll pick up right away.”
Redick said he was hoping to have the single released virally and that the track could be released before the end of 2009.
“We’re hoping the single drops before the new year, but we have a pretty full time job, so we don’t have a whole lot of time to work on a rap album right now,” Redick said.
Other NBA players who have released rap albums include Ron Artest, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal.
