Back in The Top 25!

Doug Gottlieb is obviously an idiot.

18. Georgetown: Yes, I'm taking the Hoyas. Greg Monroe returns with Austin Freeman and Chris Wright. There is no way this team suffers from two years of ineptitude, right? While the Hoyas were never able to recover from their early stretch of games in Big East play, no such stretch exists for this talent-laden bunch next season. JT3 is far too bright not to learn from his own mistakes.

No, wait, this makes perfect sense. A team that lost in humiliating fashion in the first round of its conference tournament and then lost again in the first round of the NIT is certainly, after losing its leading scorer, one of the nation's twenty-five best. You nailed it, Doug!

I personally have Florida International as number 18 in my pre-season rankings, because if there is really anyone who is too bright not to learn from his own mistakes, it's Isiah Thomas.

Summers sucked anyway

Everyone talks about this season and how he was selfish but he has always been that way. Just because he hit the winning three against Louisville his sophomore year doesn’t mean he was a team player then either. Remember that horrible three he took against Cuse at home in ’08, when we could have ran time off the clock and iced the overtime game? Instead he fired a horrible, off-balance three that was long by a mile and gave Cuse the chance to tie/win. The difference between 2008 and 2009 was that in 2009, we would have lost the game. But Summers would had the same role both years, selfish, me-first player with no concern for the team.

The loss of him is addition by subtraction without a doubt.

We’ll be alright this season, pre-season #18 is pushing it but you wouldn’t trust the opinion of a convicted thief so why would trust the opinion of Dough Gottlieb, who got kicked out of Notre Dame for stealing credit cards.

Good talk.
