Coaches Poll Out Today at Noon

[UChusky916]

We should count our lucky stars. We don't deserve a top 25 spot because we are only a mid-major. What did we ever do to earn a place this high in the rankings?

What did we ever do to earn a place this high in the rankings? Oh, I don't know... how about winning the national title last year? How about winning more national championships than any program in the country over the last 15 years?

By the way, nothing is EARNED in preseason rankings, because, well, its the PRESEASON.

Me thinks he was being facetious. A dig on those who turd on the conference.

I actually think UNC will be very good (they're the favorite to win the ACC, in my mind). Shooting will be a concern like it was last season, but they rebound like a pack of wolves, defend well, and when you have one of the best point guards in the country, you can overcome a lot of shooting deficiencies. In the front court, they rotate four or five big-bodied athletes who are a nightmare to deal with. I was actually really glad Iowa State beat them - they wouldn't have been a good match-up, and sans McAdoo (who I thought was overrated anyway), they return pretty much everybody.

Wonder how Kennedy Meeks' weight loss will impact the team. Dude has lost 50+ pounds since he's been at UNC.

Could be huge. He averaged 19 points and 15 rebounds per 40 minutes last season, but could only stay on the floor in short spurts because of a lack of conditioning. He almost seems like a rich man's version of Joshua Smith from Georgetown.

Gullible is written on the ceiling.
