The NCAA cares about the kids. Don't worry.

5 o'clock somewhere is probably used all the time over there.

I would love to watch that game, but 1:00 AM finish time doesn't work for me.

The new rules will increase fouls and increase game length.

Some way too early observations:
1) Right now, Wayne Selden is better than Andrew Wiggins (that will not be the case for too long, I'm sure...but this very second, it's definitely the case)
2) Jabari Parker is definitely better than both
3) Rodney Hood is reeeeally talented
4) I'm stunned at how adept a passer Embiid is
5) Both of these teams are really, really good, and I would not be the least bit surprised to see either one cut down the nets in April
6) HOLY SHEET is Jabari Parker good

I want Duke to be ranked #1 when we beat them in the Dome in February, so let's all root against Kansas.

I rooted for MSU. The rest of these teams can kick rocks as far as I'm concerned.

This is one of the reasons I love living on the west coast 
Some of my quick observations:
(1) Embiid oozes potential. The Hakeem comparisons might be a little much, but this guy will be a STUD in a few years.
(2) Parker reminds me so much of the Syracuse-era Carmelo. The high socks, his build (solid/kind of doughy, but deceptively agile), the way he handles the ball, etc...
(3) How old is Perry Ellis? Dude looks like he's in his mid-30's.

This works for me. Being we get to play them twice, I'd rather have them be #1 around then than Kansas. Maybe the conference RPI thing too. But yeah, like CG said, I'm not exactly rooting fot Duke.

Gotta say what a fun second half to watch. Solid performance considering how early in the year it is.
Wiggins you can tell is mighty good and smooth, but WOW, Jabari Parker before fouling out was sensational.

If you went to bed you missed a LOT of talent.
Kansas is very young, and because of that I thought Duke would run away with the game. They did not.
No doubt in my mind Kansas is the most talented team in the country. They are going to be ridiculous come March. Guys like Embiid and Traylor (even Wiggins and Seldon who played great) are going to be completely different players by the end of the year.
