CollegeHoops.net Top 144 countdown

[Big Mike]

Hey I'm starting to like the #42 pick!

[Rusty 54]

Any chance they forgot about BU altogether?

I'm growing more convinced of this every day

Yikes...this is getting eerie....

We could be ahead of Maryland!!! Gary Williams will stroke out!

#47 Maryland - 6th in ACC

Again, I'm having a hard time believing CHN is putting BU ahead of Maryland, not that I don't believe BU is as good or better than the Terrapins, just that I can't believe CHN thinks they are. Finally, a little respect for the Mid-Majors. Unless....................................? Nah, T assured me BU WILL BE in the top 50.

I'm countin on you Tornado! JK

[Dubl R 1]

Also, doesn't this eliminate 1 of the dreaded no picks? #46 I think.

[Chucky T's]

C"mon #44......

[MacabreMob]

Argh. I lost. But it's nice to [maybe] be getting some respect!

At this point, I am more surprised that Illinois is gonna be rated ahead of Maryland.

[Dubl R 1]

Do you think BU could slip in ahead of the Illini?

Do you think BU could slip in ahead of the Illini?

Illinois was 145 right?

Sounds like a Final 4 team to me.

Btw, like his projected starting 5.

[BuBraves55]

id rather see rashad than salley in the 4 hole but everything else is looking swimmingly

[VromanFan]

Hello Friends!,

I thought that was a pretty well thought out prediction of our season. I happen to agree...I also think the biggest challenge for Jimmy and his crew will be getting all the new players to mesh and accept their roles. Unless there's some redshirts (which there may be) there's just not enough playing time for everyone.

Wow, Bradley in at #44.....I am impressed

I'd have to say this guy did a little research or maybe even read some message boards.

Just to remind ....

in 2006-2007 CHN predicted Bradley at #120, 7th in the MVC, no postseason:

(they also had Butler at #106, but now they seem to have learned their lesson on mid-majors)

in 2005-2006 they had Bradley at #156, 7th in the MVC, no postseason:

(they had George Mason at #95 and Wichita State at #96)
