College Basketball Version 2011-2012

Excitement doesn't begin to describe how this upcoming season makes me feel.  I am a Duke fan all the way, but I'm also a realist.  Duke is going to be good.  Can they win the national championship? Sure.  Will they?  Probably not.  North Carolina looks very good this year.  Most of us already know this.  That's about the only thing about college basketball that I'm not excited about.  Other than that, you've got TONS of talent returning (Sullinger, Barnes, Henson, T. Jones) and lots coming in (Drummond, Rivers, A. Davis).  It should make for a great season and a great draft.

What I love about college basketball more than anything, however, isn't necessarily the players and coaches.  It's the hustle and pride.  Most kids love playing for the name on the front of the jersey and that's what makes college basketball what it is.  Having a kid dive over the first row for a ball in the 3rd game of the season wouldn't happen in the NBA, but in NCAA it will.

Can NOT wait!!!
