Looks like there are eight (with potential for 9 w/ Cincy in semi's or finals of Barclays Classic) opponents are ranked by Rothstein. Nebrasketball will have to start fast as 'Nova is the 1st week of the season.

Got it! Thanks

Sooo ... this seems like something to sell a potential last-minute recruit on.

 

"We're set at 4 out of 5 spots on the floor.  Make it 5 out of 5, and we're going to give all those ranked teams a serious run for their money.  Whadya say?"

Damn near half the B1G is in that top 25!!!

 

Or...to put it another way, 1/4 of that top 25 is B1G teams.

 

Wow.  And it is worth mention that Ohio State isn't in that top 25 list.

 

This league is gonna be stupid good next year.

Yeah.  And I noticed they left us out, too.

Plus the fact that nearly all of our games are on TV.

They'll be available somewhere, if not over-the-air. Games not shown live on TV are usually available via a webcast on forms such as BTN2Go.com or opponent websites. Best part is that most games will be shown on national TV broadcasts such as the ESPN family of networks as well as the Big Ten Network.

Pretty much every power conference team can boast that now.

That's WAY too much love for Michigan, especially if we steal the big dopey white guy that lit us up last year.
