Illinois Fighting Illini 1-0

Illinois got the college basketball season tipped off with a win over Delaware St. Great balance among the starting five tonight in a tune up win over a cupcake opponent. Looks like #3 North Carolina (or the most overrated team in America with the most overrated coach) will lose to the mighty Santa Clara, slayer of giants. That means the Illini will be bumping up the polls next week. It is a long season, but always great to start with a win!!

Kansas took a close win at Fogg Allen over Vermont, who is an awesome, awesome low major program. Of course, I constantly wish Bill Self continued turmoil and Roy Williams syndrome at Kansas....minus the Final Fours.

It is here baby! College basketball!! See you in St. Louis!!!
