Just starting to immerse myself in the DirecTV. Yay. Naturally I pick the week when the teams have to actually be students and take finals. Not a lot of games this week. Still, I have the DVR, have all the local Fox channels. Definitely better.

Just to pass this from the Andy Katz chat (Insider subs.).

Rusty(Long Beach, NY): How about Buffalo this weekend? That was a tough loss. Do you think that they will be better in the MAC than people anticipated? Thanks

Andy Katz: Yes. Buffalo already has a neutral court win over Miami, too. Still, that was a home game. I always believed Buffalo was going to be a tough out at home. Reggie Witherspoon helped save that program after taking over once the season already started a few years back.

…

Bob (Pittsburgh): Hey Andy, even though they’re ranked #2, the Panthers have not looked dominant. Are the expectations for this team too high or are we actually that good? Each year Panthers fans’ hopes are built up and then crushed. Will this year be any different?

Andy Katz: Please don’t get hung up on rankings. They mean NOTHING. Pitt has the talent, the toughness, the defense, and the depth to win the title.
