LOl. I concur. Great to see another bulldog! Hope the dogs can finally pull off the upset against the tide this weekend. Wish I could go up for B-Ball exhibition game as well.

@ Matty D

You’re right, we would’ve only had two teams in but I guess, I equate a young team with losing to team they wouldn’t normally lose to. As far as Chris Warren goes, I think he’s a better scoring or lead guard. By no means, am I saying that Dee is 1st team all sec but for him to come in the league as a freshmen and log big minutes as well as having a positive assist to turnover ratio is pretty good. Even during a down year. I hope we can prove you wrong ang get out of the 1st round of the tourney for a change. lol

Great column! Keep it up!

@ Boomhauser – Dayton is a quality team, but lets not go crazy. The Buckeyes would put them in a body bag! We’ll see just how good they are in a few weeks at the PR Tipoff. If they can come away with a few W’s, I may change my stance on them. For the record, keep an eye on La Salle this year in the A-10, they may surprise some people.

No JDub, the SEC was terrible last year. That’s like saying the Oklahoma City Thunder weren’t terrible last year, they were just young. Had Mississippi State not won the tournament, there’s a chance they may not have even been in the Big Dance. That would have left the conference with just two teams. For a conference that has had six, five, and six teams in the three previous years as well as two National Championships and three Final Four appearances, I would constitute that as terrible. Listen, I like Mississippi St. this season and I’m a fan of the SEC as well, but let’s call a spade a spade. P.S. Good point with Terrico White, but while we’re on the subject, Chris Warren is also a better PG than Dee Bost! All things aside, good luck this year! I hope your Dogs prove me wrong.

@ Matty D

1st off in regards to Dee Bost, I was referring to assist to turnover ratio. Not athleictism or overall play. Secondly, Terrico White while a terrific player and potential 1st round pick is not a point, he’s a shooting guard. He did indeed fill and do a great job for Chris Warren but he’s not a point guard. Next, I didn’t say we were title contenteders what so ever. I was merely disbuting your statement that we don’t have any good guard play whats so ever. I wouldn’t disagree that Wall probably has the most upside in the league but lets let him face SEC competition first before we crown him the next Derrick Rose (Last great Freshman point guard. Lastly, if you did your research you would know that the SEC wasn’t terrible last year but extremely young with the exception of LSU and Tennessee or maybe one other team. Read Pat Forde take on ESPN. Hear again before you make this a piss contest, I appreciate your ranking of my dogs and didn’t disagree with it at all. I was simply stating that our guards we’re better than you indicated. They aren’t all american candidate but they’re not the worst in the league either. They all have NCAA tourney experience. Overall, thanks for the #11 ranking!

No love for the Dayton Flyers? They’ll be way better than Ohio State.
