Updates and apologies

We would like to apologize to all of our readers who have always taken the time to stop by and check out the updates on Bubbleteams.com and the blog.

Unfortunately, due to some MAJOR computer problems and internet connectivity issues, we have been unable to post many of the blogs and/or update the man page if Bubbleteams.com for several months.

However, after much labor and effort, we are hopeful that these issues have been resolved and we look forward to giving you some of the most updated and accurate information on the conference championships starting next week and the selection process for the NCAA Tournament (Selection Sunday is a mere 2 weeks away).

Once again, we hope you will take the time to stop by and check out our information, our links, and our predictions (some of the MOST accurate on the web since our start 3 years ago).

ACC/Big Ten Challenge

It should not be surprising that once again, the Big 10 lost the Big 10/ACC Challenge to the ACC, considering that the "vaunted" Big Ten has NEVER won a challenge (even last year which was considered an up year for the Big 10 and a down year for the ACC).

What is MORE embarrassing is that the Big 10 finished a dismal 3-8 vs. the ACC (with wins coming from Purdue, Northwestern and Wisconsin). Disappointing games by Illinois, Michigan State and Michigan (once again overhyped) doomed the Big 10 to yet another woeful result. In fact, if it were not for a last second shot victory by Purdue and a narrow one-point win for Northwestern, the Big ten would have had to hang their respective hats on the accomplishments of Wisconsin.

On a side note, the biggest loser in the Big 10/ACC Challenge was the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, who were opted out of the competition, and instead scheduled a road game at Air Force. The Falcons blitzed the Deacs, in what was a blowout victory for the now 7-1 Falcons. Perhaps next year the ACC can get a better challenge from the Mountain West.

We will post our initial recap of the season this weekend, including the top 10 early season upsets for the month of November and the 10 most surprising teams thus far and the 10 most disappointing teams thus far this season.

Enjoy the show.

News of Note

While the college basketball season does not officially open for another five days, there were some interesting results from the first night of exhibition games for the 2006-07 season.

Maryland 79, California University (PA) 78

Maryland has missed the NCAA Basketball Tournament the past two seasons, posting consecutive 19-13 records and trips to the NIT each season. A return to their former greatness is not only anticipated, but expected in head coach Gary Williams' 17th season at Maryland. With all five returning starters from last season's team, it was more than a little surprising that the Terps struggled with Division II California, a team that finished 17-11 last season. Maryland needed two free throws with less than 5 seconds on the clock to secure a one point victory against the stubborn squad from tiny California, Pennsylvania.

The Terrapins committed 17 turnovers, while playing poor perimeter defense, allowing the Vulcans to shoot better than 40% (13-30) from three-point range. Maryland opened with the games first basket and then proceeded to relinquish the lead for the next five minutes of game time. The Terps opened a none point halftime lead, only to be outscored 44-36 in the second half. Maryland never led by more than four points in the final 8:30.

Louisville 94, Georgetown (KY) 92

The Cardinals are another premiere program that struggled in their exhibition opener after coming off of a disappointing 2005-06 season. Louisville allowed the NAIA Tigers to shoot 49% overall and 40% from beyond the three-point arc. The Cardinals struggled at the free throw line, shooting just 58% for the game. Georgetown fought to take the lead 81-80 with just over 5 minutes remaining in the game, to see Louisville immediately retake command of the contest on a layup that put the Cardinals ahead for good.

Michigan State 61, Grand Valley State 57

The Michigan State Spartans outscored the visiting Lakers 51-31 over a span of the late first half and the second half and avoided an embarrassing loss in their exhibition opener. Grand Valley State opened the game with a 26-10 lead and held onto their advantage until 3:41 remained in the game. The Lakers, returning four starters from a team that finished 27-4 last season, looked like a veteran club against the sloppy, lethargic Spartans. One bright spot for Tom Izzo's club was a stellar 18-20 shooting from the foul line.

2006-07 Season

Welcome back to the home of the most accurate and insightful analysis of the 2007 NCAA Basketball Tournament and the season that leads up to the moment of March Madness and Selection Sunday.

We hope to bring you more daily updates and we are continuing to improve on our affiliated website, bubbleteams.com.

As soon as we get it up and running, you will be able to navigate your way through one of the most detailed college basketball sites that exists online.

Enjoy the season and enjoy everything we have to offer.

NCAA Tournament Review

We did marginally well projecting the Sweet 16 and Final Four this season.

We predicted 10 of the Sweet 16 teams correctly and two of the Final 4 teams (Florida and UCLA). Unfortunately, we thought Texas would be the national champion this season; so while we still have two teams alive in the Final Four, we missed the championship game match after predicting Texas vs. Connecticut in the title game.

We feel the Florida Gators will eventually take this national title, defeating the UCLA Bruins in the championship game.
