Buckeye Basketball, just one week away!

Fair enough, Hairless, we shall see how the season plays out. I guarantee you one thing, the Hoosiers that finish the season in 2009 will be nowhere close to the ones who started it in 2008.

There can be a lot of surprises in basketball season. Indiana could make it big, or maybe they won't. Texas last season did a lot better without their former marquee player, Kevin Durant. I expect a good run from Michigan State and Minnesota as well, Tubby can still coach a heck of a ball team.

Nonetheless I'll still be rooting for the Buckeyes to take control. I hope B.J. Mullens isn't one of those players that'll stick around for just one year. I certainly didn't expect that mentality from Kosta Koufos.

Based on BJ's performance from last night he is a long way from being anything close to Kosta Koufos ... at least this early in his freshman season.  Koufos peaked at the end of the year in the NIT, we'll see how much BJ improves over the year, but right now I don't see him going anywhere. 

On the other hand he is 7'0 and as they say you can't teach height and the NBA likes to throw money at tall people (the Brad Sellers syndrome).

It will be interesting to see how BJ and Lauderdale play on the floor at the same time.
