doesn't look so great anymore does it?
IU hit their FT's down the stretch.
How was Michigan ever ranked #15? :-P
Just shows the stupidity of preseason polls. Michigan is not good. Harris forces way too much. And they shoot A LOT of 3's, many of them out of rhythm and just bad shots.
Crean's team was tougher, they really rallied in their first game without Creek.
P.S. Speaking of the stupidity of preseason polls, still blows my mind Georgia Tech was ranked to start the season. They were in the basement of the ACC last year, bring in highly-touted recruit Favors, and suddenly they are ranked? How about they prove it on the court first?
Notre Dame was ranked top 10 for most of non-conference portion of last season (this chart (http://statsheet.com/mcb/teams/notre-dame/rank?season=2008-2009) is almost comical). They made it into the top 25 this year, too. Some teams just don't live up to expectations. Michigan at least returned nearly everyone from a tourney team.
UW up big in the first half @ OSU, though I guess that doesn't help us much since we didn't win that game.
I have never understood the love for Hewitt at GT, he gets great recruits but since the final four run has under acheived.

ND is always overrated---the ND BS mystique.
ND sucks and always will.

Well, if they did it was certainly without character or honor
