Our football teams really, really stink. Cannot wait for basketball.
Our family teams are:
KenPom rankings
#10 Arizona
#12 Indiana
#21 Virginia Tech
#58 Stanford
#66 Vanderbilt
#70 Northwestern

Kind of psyched to see how the top 3 do.

Not listing our family teams except to say that one of them (UCLA) will make up for the others :smile:

Go Terps!

that was a rough game to watch for Carolina fans :sob:

As always, super excited for the Horns. As always, don’t trust that they are as good as the polls make them look. I will say, however, that they looked amazing against Gonzaga.

Early in the season, which is a good time to grow for the big time in March. UNC may get it all together by then, however my Indiana Hoosiers are looking pretty good at the moment. Tough tests at defending National Champs’ Kansas and probably an even tougher matchup against Arizona in Las Vegas in the next 2 weeks.

Indiana looked GREAT last night! I think they will have a very good year. I’m still holding out hope that the UNC men’s team will get it together, but super pleased that the women’s team is doing so well this year, at least! I’m looking forward to following them this season.
