The College Basketball Thread

however, they werent number one in both polls while both seasons were still ongoing. apparently in 1974 Notre Dame was number one in one sport that either hadnt begun or already ended. or something, this is according to ESPN last night.

You're right, it was 2 weeks off, maybe three. But they were the same graduation year, unlike UCLA in 1967, and people usually cite that as the difference.

Notre Dame won the National Title in Football Jan. 1974. Two/three weeks later Notre Dame beat UCLA to become #1 in basketball (only to lose to UCLA 1 week later in a rematch).

UCLA were National Champions in Basketball in March 1967. That fall, they were #1 in Football, but the new basketball season hadn't started yet. By the time the basketball season started, UCLA lost to USC in Football, and were no longer #1.

Yes, I'm happy to update this thread! Maryland just beat Illinois to end their non-conference home win streak which started in 1998. 19th ranked Maryland's 8-0 start is its best since the 1988-89 team won its first 10.

The College Park Fire Department must be giddy with anticipation.

whenever i'm watching a maryland game and they win, i always want the announcer to say "light those couches!!"

So who is the hottest lesbian in college basketball?

While technically you are right, basketball followers still uses the BCS term to indicate those in one of the six major conferences. I wasn't starting a pissing match, just in case you want to answer that basketball uses the term majors/mid-majors. Pick at the technical aspects of my post, rather than the meat of it. Either way, your Panthers won a squeaker, at home, over the mighty whatevers of Oakland. But hey, that WAS their 3rd game in 3 days. Whew, hope they recover.

This will be my last post on this topic since the Panthers have recovered well (wink, wink), winning two more games that included soundily defeating BCS-member Florida St. My area of objection was that I define "squeaker" as something like a one-point win in double overtime. I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. Of course, Oakland should have been defeated by a larger margin, but even the best teams have slow starts…the bottom line is that a victory was had by a comfortable margin.

Moving on, was the Gtown/Oregon even on television? I wasn't even aware of the game until this morning because of all the hoopla over the ACC/Big Ten Shoot-Out. The only Big East games I've seen on TV lately were some UConn games on MASN.

Speaking of BCS….when was the last time (prior to this week) that a school was concurrently ranked number 1 in both the football and basketball polls?

Barring a miracle December, I guess last night put an end to that debate.
