The Maui Jim Classic has nationwide appeal and stature. Bilas is known as one of the top authorities of college basketball. The constant flow of praise by him towards us will be taken as gospel by many voters.
I don't see us as sneaking in as 24 or 25 but somewhere around 20. I see the voters in the AAC area pumping us up to showcase the beating we took from their beloved North Carolina.
We are no means the finished product and we will probably hit the wall in the not to distant future with our youth. But I see us regrouping during the conference and fighting for the top 4.
Ford left us some talent that just needed direction and someone to kick their ass when needed. Underwood will get a lot of credit for the year we will have this but Ford will have to be given a big assist.
If this team can clean up the back side help and continue talking and helping on defense it will take a very good team to beat us.
We played sloppy at times both on offense and defense last night in the second half but still kicked their ass.
And what is better than to punch the two schools that made the old Big East the gods of basketball in the mouth and make them our bitch?
Next big moment Maryland on the road .
Us OSU basketball junkies have fought, cussed, and ripped each other the last dozen years. But we now have a team we all can put our arms around and enjoy the ride as one.
I don't know if it's the excitement or my age that makes me try hard not to wet myself.
