The Arizona State pick was a bad pick, LSU was not.

Duke and Marquette both look better than advertised (I mean advertised by the national media, not this article obviously.

Look, I realize I went out on a limb predicting ASU to upset Illinois. But, you will see that James Harden is legit and Pendergraph is as talented a big man as their is in the Pac-10. You also have to remember that the Illinois game was the Sun Devils first game of the year (which should have been reason enough not to pick them). This team will be much improved and don’t think for a second that Herb Sendek isn’t ecstatic to get out of Maui with two wins.

Did anyone who cursed me out for taking LSU over Oklahoma State watch the Cowboys against North Texas? The Cowboys’ transition defense was non-existent. I thought this would play directly into the Tigers’ hands. Then, Taz Mitchell goes out with a bad left heel and ankle problems. In all honesty I don’t believe the addition of Mitchell would have made much of a difference. At this point of the season neither one of these teams are very good. But, I will admit that OSU has a better chance at making some noise this year. Dove, Anderson, and Harris are all talented. They just need someone to step up at the point. I have not been impressed with Muonelo at all and Eaton isn’t going to see the court until he stops being fat.

All criticism aside, I did at least get the Maui Winner and the M.V.P. correct. Even if it was against my moral fiber.

SHENANIGANS!
