Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 9): Baylor Enters Into Top 5

By ⋅ January 4, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Syracuse (60) Last week was business as usual for the Orange. They opened the conference slate with walk throughs against Seton Hall and DePaul. Things will get a little tougher this week, with games against PC and No. 20 Marquette. No one gets through the Big East unscathed, so Syracuse’s first loss should come [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 8): Baylor Defeats Paul Quinn

By ⋅ December 27, 2011 ⋅ One comment

1. Syracuse (54) The Orange played the eclectic duo of Bucknell and Tulane last week, and they will get started with Big East play this week. They will play a school almost exclusively associated with Big East basketball (Seton Hall) as well as a school that people often forget is in the Big East (DePaul). [...]

Basketball AP top 25 (Week 7): Syracuse Continues to Roll

By ⋅ December 21, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Syracuse (53) Solid win over NC State. I talked last week about how I didn’t think they were deserving of the No. 1 ranking. While they aren’t the best team in the country, they’ve done nothing to dissuade me from thinking they deserve to be No. 1 right now. They’ve done everything they’ve had [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 6): Indiana Marching Along

By ⋅ December 14, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Syracuse (51) Do they really feel like the best team in the country to you? I would take a handful of teams against them on a neutral court. This No. 1 ranking is more a product of the schedule and other team’s losses than anything. The Orange are a Top 10 team, not a No. [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 5): Kentucky Continues to Roll

By ⋅ December 7, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Kentucky (47) Did you see the Kentucky-UNC game?!?! It was ridiculous. The amount of talent on the floor was absurd, and I was transfixed the entire time. I don’t think there’s anything I can say that’s not already been said, so I’ll leave it at this: this season I’m rooting for whatever will lead [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 4): Look Out For the Rebels

By ⋅ November 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. Kentucky (46) The Wildcats continued to roll through significantly less talented teams last week, and that allowed them to step into the top spot after UNC lost. UK’s supremacy may not last long though – the two teams play on Saturday. 2. Ohio State (17) The Buckeyes played North Florida, VMI and Valparaiso last [...]

Basketball AP Top 25 (Week 3): Pittsburgh Panthers Fall

By ⋅ November 23, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

1. North Carolina (62) The Tar Heels didn’t do much this week. There were no games on aircraft carriers, just a sound victory over Mississippi Valley State, Jerry Rice’s alma mater. It wasn’t much of a test for them. 2. Kentucky The Wildcats, however, beat a really good Kansas team. They also had solid wins [...]

Pitino Busts My NCAA Bracket Again

By ⋅ March 31, 2009 ⋅ One comment

VIEW –> Sports of Boston NCAA Bracket Standings: Top 20 Ahh, the peaks and valleys of the NCAA Tournament. By Saturday, I lost my first Elite Eight team, and subsequently my first Final Four team in Memphis. I had the seven other Elite Eight teams so I was still in great shape to win some much-need money [...]

BC Stuns No. 1 UNC, 85-78

By ⋅ January 5, 2009 ⋅ One comment

The Boston College Men’s Basketball team pulled off quite an upset Sunday as they try to prove they are worthy for a Top-25 ranking. The Eagles beat the No. 1 team in the nation, previously unbeaten North Carolina, 85-78 in Chapel Hill. The loss almost certainly takes UNC out of the top spot. They have [...]
