Where is Texas Tech?

Robert will have something to say about that. Hell, he scared Roy Williams away

I would like the NCAA to do away with the NCAA tournament and let the polls decide the top two teams and have a best 2 out of 3 Finals.

TEXAS TECH - The Red Raiders are led by a legend of their own, albeit a controversial one. Bob Knight is without question one of the top college coaches of all time, but he is probably known more for his gruff exterior and erratic behavior than he is for his actual coaching methods. This year's collection of Tech basketball players is hungry to make a run at the top of the Big 12 standings, although the squad probably isn't as talented as in recent years. Sure, All-Conference guard Andre Emmett is back to hopefully build on the 21.8 points and 6.4 rebounds per game he averaged a year ago, but exactly who is going to help at the offensive end is anybody's guess at this point. Robert Tomaszek has the requisite skills needed to impact matters along the front line, but he contributed just 8.3 points and 5.0 caroms per contest last season, so whether or not he can be a big-time player remains to be seen. The addition of guys like juco transfers Devonne Giles and Joseph Works, as well as true freshman Jarrius Jackson will add some much-needed firepower, but overall, the fate of the Red Raiders' season lies in whether or not Knight and Emmett can coexist, as there has been some friction between the two in the past. TTU will pull off an upset or two during the season, but in the end simply lacks the overall talent and depth needed to finish near the top of the Big 12 standings.

Tech didnt even garnish a point in the AP Poll.

I was getting use to my Terrapins kicking Carolina`s baby blue asses....Its a very young Maryland team this year, but by next year they will be knocking on the final 4 door again....I am a little surprised North Carolina is at #9?
