From the people within the program I've talked to, Looney is a longshot but they feel very good about Stone. Looney is class of 2014, and they currently are filled up for their 13 schollies at the moment. Isn't to say they wouldn't make room for Looney, but historically UW hasn't gone down the Buzz cut or Crean type way of handing that.

Stone and Koenig are extremely close. C will also be the Badgers top need by far moving forward.

What do people think about Maryland and Rutgers reportedly joining the Big Ten? I know Maryland has supposedly been picking up some good recruiting classes lately.

Maryland is pretty good, but I dont like having non Midwest schools in the Big Ten.

Dekker is a stud. Playing a clearly inferior opponent, but he looks amazing.

Apparently Maryland is going to vote on a move to the Big Ten. I'm still not sure how I feel about them joining. They have potential to be good with all of that Under Armour money.

I'm surprised Oklahoma State isn't ranked with both Smart and Nash on the squad. Impressive win against NC State.

My Gophers may be ranked next week going into their matchup with Duke in the Battle4Atlantis.

Sounds like Rutgers is a formality too.

Didn't get to see it since I'm at work, but it looks like Marquette lost on a last second shot to Butler. **** way to start the Maui Invitational. Looks like Vander had a huge game though, dropped 21. Hopefully that is a sign of things to come.

I am not a fan of Junior Cadougan at all.

WTF?

I've been anti-Cadougan for a while now. He reminds me of the short kid in grade school who always insisted on being PG even though he was the worst ball handler.

Butler is the luckiest team ever. :upset:

Best game Vander blue has ever played.

Marquette also really was hurting for a guy like crowder to guard Khyle Marshall who they had no answer for. They also struggled a lot when butler would back screen with a shooter while reversing the ball. Gave up some wide open alley oop dunks because of bad defense.

Still, butler is a solid team. They're a year away from being real good again IMO. They've got a couple real nice players who just need some seasoning.

As much as it pains me, I think MU is going to struggle this year. Buzz has done a good job of having a pretty strong team each year but I don't see a go to guy right now. Last year you could always rely on DJO and/or Crowder. They really need Vander Blue to step up consistently. I know it's early and it was a flukely loss, but I think they are going to need every win they can get this year. I guess we'll see what happens, hopefully I am wrong.

Missed the game and just saw the highlight. WTF...
