dasox24 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 f*** yeah, go Illini! #1 Wake Forest visits our place this year. Holy. s***. Dee and Daron can take Chris Paul, but it sounds like our frontcourt is gonna have problems... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSoxShuf Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 3/4 teams in the ACC, not gonna happen. Just look for the Jayhawks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Dee and Daron can take Chris Paul, Gtech and Wake are going to be awesome again. I'll guarantee it right now that Unc won't make it past the sweet 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 #9 is not that great for the team we have. We are expected to be anywhere from 1 through 5 for the preseason poll. But its Katz who put us at #9 so I dont take that as anything. My God does ESPN need some new CBB analysist. It doesnt get much worse than Dukie V/Katz/Biased Bilas.

Buehrle>Wood Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Oh and by the way, for all you CBB diehards in here who cant wait 'til the season starts, i recommend this site: The top 144 teams in 144 days. Its a count down of the best teams until the season starts up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Looks sweet. Congrats to the Illini to start out in the top 10 according to AK. Not bad for a Big Ten team to be ranked so high by one of the ACC lovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its Katz who put us at #9 so I dont take that as anything. I'm glad he rated us #9; I hope when the official rankings come out, we're not higher than that either. I don't want this team getting too big of heads when they see how good we are, and not living up to expectations like the last time we started off ranked in the Top 5. My God does ESPN need some new CBB analysist. It doesnt get much worse than Dukie V/Katz/Biased Bilas Yeah, I totally agree with that. But, they need new NBA analysts even more. All of those guys suck. ESPN's NBA guys are way worse than any other sport ESPN covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 top 10? I'll take it, GO ILLINI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted July 20, 2004 Author Share Posted July 20, 2004 Preseason polls don't mean all that much to me. As long as we are ranked, i don't care. Our play will determine where we get ranked throughout the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 UConn will be good again, but they will probably struggle somewhat early on after losing Gordon and Okafor. They are alot like Texas, very very talented, but younger players will have to step up big time. Rudy Gay is one of the top 5 incoming freshman for UConn. Just for anyone who cares to know, here's my list of "diaper dandies" for next year. I'm only gonna pick the top 5, regardless of position. Rudy Gay, UConn Marvin Williams, UNC DJ White, IU (everyone just loves to see him play down low) Malik Hairston, Oregon (because he will be the main man at Oregon) Glen Davis, LSU (because he will be unstoppable down low) But overall Kentucky has the best class with Rajon Rondo at PG, Joe Crawford at SG, and Randolph Morris at C. All 3 will be very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
