Kentucky celebrated Billy Gillispie’s 48th birthday with a loss to an Atlantic Sun team and becoming a national embarrassment. Meanwhile, so far Tubby Smith’s tenure in Minnesota is going well.

The Atlantic Sun also took down Pac 10 and Big East teams in the same week, putting their conference on the map in only the first week.

The Washington Post seems to be very high on NC State stating:

“There are two potential Final Four teams on Tobacco Road -- and that's not counting Duke. The most intriguing team in the state resides in Raleigh. North Carolina State captured imaginations in the ACC tournament last season, when it advanced to the title game as a No. 10 seed. But it also proved the effectiveness of Coach Sidney Lowe’s offense, a gorgeous mix of backdoor passes, crisp cuts and pinpoint shooting. Lowe added McDonald’s all-American J.J. Hickson to a front court that already included Ben McCauley and Brandon Costner

Corey Stokes, perhaps the least hyped of the McDonald's All Americans, feels Villanova head coach Jay Wright is very similar to St Benedict’s head coach Danny Hurley.
