There you go again. You give people **** like this and then say they are treating you different because you are woman. Newsflash, it is because you are an arrogant person. It comes across in more of your posts than not. That is what turns people off about you.
Polls are facts, not attitudes, dude. Get beyond your feelings and talk sports, you're much better at the latter.

Your previous comments about posters illogical takes on the football poll in your post right before that made it pretty clear why you were posting the football poll in a basketball thread. Nobody was fooled.

My feelings aren't hurt; I didn't even make any of the comments about the football thread. I just feel like a fool for going to bat for you when you continuously do that crap and act like you are being mistreated.

I think MBB's preseason poll will be somewhat more reflective of reality than football has been. Preseason football forecasts are so tied to name-on-the-jersey, year-after-year.

While basketball has fewer players and more established coaches, thus less variability. Still, there will be surprises. I just don't think they'll be of the level we're seeing in football with TCU, et al.

I dont see OU and OSU clear cut ahead of ISU. My expectation is ISU is a top-6 squad
OU lost to Sam Houston State earlier in the week. Last night oSu loses to Southern Illinois. Both games at home B12 gyms. Bad year of red dirt state sports it seems? Cats at Cal on P12 Network tonight, first test of Tang.

Cal blows. First game they got handled by 10 at home to UC-Davis. Not saying K-State is a lock tonight, but it’s highly likely.

Well, it's a power five team in their gym. Better test than SIU in Stillwater or Sam in Norman, methinks.
Not if SIU and Sam Houston are better than Cal, which they very well could be. I’m telling you, Cal is horrible.

I would take SIU over Cal in Berkley and give you 3 pts.
K-State played SIU in one of those secret scrimmage things, it wasn't close. Home court is worth some points as well, 5-10, so there's that at play here as well. I don't know if K-State is worth a hoot, dime or pound sterling, but this will be a marker of sorts.

Damn it, pulled out the super double secret unofficial scrimmage results.

Hard to argue with the results from those.

But what does KSU scrimmage results have to do with a matchup between Cal and SIU - take it slow and step by step for me please, I am old and takes a while to process some of your logic. Help me understand why that means Cal doesn't suck.

Someone said they'd take SIU over Cal, thus my comment that State has played SIU - which just beat oSu - and the scrimmage according to coaches wasn't close. To your point though, it probably doesn't mean a dang-gum thing. Comparative scores are generally misleading at best.

That's a better outcome than your grammar, I guess.

Oh enlighten me oh brilliant one.

All of your purple kitty blather and **** on this sight and yet you dance around the point.

What is your call on the KSU/Cal game tonight, is it true, is there a KSU MBB Leviathan being assembled in Mighty Manhattan?

We are cats, not serpents. And I've already said that I don't know if this team is worth a trifle or a fine rifle. IDK! We'll have to watch and see.

After watching K-State play a few games, I'm here to tell you they don't finish in the cellar. Willing to take all bets today, gentlemen.
