The Big Monday lineup isn't very exciting.
You know, Dude, I myself dabbled in pacifism once. Not in 'Nam of course.

ESPN panelists talk about their favorite college basketball arenas.
http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketb ... experience
http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketb ... experience
Jay Bilas: I was really lucky to play, coach and broadcast games in Cameron Indoor Stadium, and that venue always will be the most special place to see a game. But taking Cameron out of the equation, it is Phog Allen Fieldhouse, and I'm not sure it is even a close call. One of my favorite parts of The Phog is the feel. I have sat there before practice when the place is empty, and it really seems to speak to you. That building just oozes history and tradition. There are no bells and whistles. It is about Kansas basketball, and everyone there is all-in. I have called it the St. Andrews of college basketball, and I believe that. Plus, the cherry limeade I usually get at halftime is pretty strong.
Hubert Davis: The coolest place I've ever seen and announced a game is Phog Allen Fieldhouse, home of the Kansas Jayhawks. I've been to a number of arenas to play and announce, and nothing comes close! KU's atmosphere is the perfect storm -- it has great history, fanatical fans, legendary players and coaches and championship pedigree. I do not like announcing a game there, however, because I have to focus on the game. I'd rather be taking in the entire experience!
Stephen Bardo: I love the history and tradition of Allen Fieldhouse in Kansas. The seats near the court are so close, you can see players changing their minds! The up-tempo style of play that Jayhawks coach Bill Self uses, coupled with an extremely knowledgeable and loud fan base, usually spells doom for the visitors. Many schools have coordinated cheers, but when you hear "Rock Chalk Jayhawk," it's lights-out. Oh, and how many other venues are located on Naismith Drive?

Re: 2011 - 2012 College Basketball Season
Looks like Braeden Anderson won't be playing at KU this year because of academic qualification issues. I figured McLemore was going to be the bigger problem.

Big 12 Pre-season Coaches Poll:
1. Kansas (tie)
1. Texas A&M (tie)
3. Baylor
4. Mizzou
5. Texas
6. Kansas State
7. Oklahoma State
8. Iowa State
9. Oklahoma (tie)
9. Texas Tech (tie)
Isn't ISU supposed to be pretty good this year with all those transfers becoming eligible?

The loss of Bowers hurts Missouri, already weak in the frontcourt.KCMax wrote:Big 12 Pre-season Coaches Poll:

I think KU is going to really benefit from a down Big XII in b-ball this year. If anybody was going to unseat them, this would have been the year but I don't think the Big XII lineup is very strong. KU has a good backcourt but it's not deep and the front line will be the worse in many years with no real scorers there. Mizzou....talented and deep backcourt, maybe the best in the country, but a very sucky front line and only one new player who's coming off an achilles tendon rupture.

Re: 2011 - 2012 College Basketball Season
I am really surprised they couldn't get those two through the clearinghouse. I'm not surprised at all that McLemore (I don't know anything at all about the other kid) is ineligible, but I figured Self would find a way to get em through regardless.
Big 12 may be pretty down this year.

Re: 2011 - 2012 College Basketball Season
I figured McLemore was going to have issues. That's why I wasn't that disappointed when Mizzou didn't land him, but he can play next year though.... If he is still at KU, he's had some issues in the past. Is Kevin Young eligible this coming year? The Hawks may need him.KCMax wrote:KU freshman Ben McLemore and Jamari Taylor are ruled ineligible for the upcoming season
