    Holy smokes, Kansas? I think Kansas will be a good game. Who did they lose? I know Simien, Langford, Giddens, and Miles.
    Michigan St. got a easy game. Chaminade is going to be a piece of cake, then a big problem for the winner between Gonzaga and Maryland, that is going to be a good game. I think Michigan St. will make the finals for this.
    UConn will dominate Arkansas, then go down to the wire with the winner of Arizona and Kansas, but UConn has low-post presents that Arizona and Kansas don't have, unless Kirk Walters becomes a Shaq type player [​IMG] , Arizona is screwed if they play UConn.

    Wow, this is going to be awesome. There are six teams who are all but locks for the NCAA tournament, and 4 of them are top 10 teams! This should be absolutely great to watch [​IMG]

    I'm honestly disappointed that Michigan State draws Chaminade. I would have rather seen us draw Maryland or Arkansas, two teams that have top 25 potential. I'm looking forward to a matchup with the Gonzaga/Maryland winner though, and hopefully it's Gonzaga, because I want Michigan State to play the best competition possible with this year's talented roster. 2006 is the year of the Spartan.

    I wish Arizona could play Michigan St, then we could see Paul Davis, to see how good he is. Radenovic would torch Mich St. though.

    Paul Davis has played in close to fifty nationally televised games in his college career. Haven't you seen him play yet? And what do you mean by "Radenovic would torch Mich St. though.", because Radenovic would not even start on Michigan State.

    I was just saying that I would like to see Arizona play Michigan St. because you said you were disappointed that they drew Chaminade. Then we could see the top 2 PG's, Shakur and Brown, play against each other. Whenever I would watch Michigan St. on T.V., Davis is always in foul trouble, against teams like Iowa, Purdue, and Michigan. Radenvoic is a PF out of Serbia, that can make 3's. He will have a break-out year this year with Frye gone. If you watched Arizona games like you watch Michigan St. Games, you would know what I'm talking bout.

    I've seen just about every nationally televised Arizona game I could, and I know he's a talented player. I just don't understand where you get off saying that he'll torch us. As for Davis, he only got into serious foul trouble in about four regular season games last season, and that's very understandable for such a college big man. He only got 27 mpg because of Michigan State's depth rather than their foul trouble.

    By the way, Frye has had one hell of a Summer League. 13 ppg and 6 rpg... what a stud. It looks like he's just destined to be Jerome James' substitute either way though. At least Davis should have a better fate.

    We're going to see a lot of future NBA stars in the Maui Invitational, such as Shannon Brown, Ronnie Brewer, Adam Morrison, Paul Davis, Rudy Gay, Josh Bonne, and Maurice Williams. Should be an interesting Invitational, but I am looking forward to seeing two of the top point guards, Ronnie Brewer and Maurice Williams go at it in the first round. Definitely going to watch that one...

    LOL, Jerome James won't be starting by the end of the year, Frye will be more experienced and probably doing better.

    As for the Radenvoic quote, I was just simply saying that he would be making quite a few outside shots, because now he's most likely gonna be Arizona 3rd option scoring wise this year.
