Here is one coming from a Div III School. Not very many people may
have heard of Calvin College or Hope College, but last year Calvin won
the Div III championship. In a writeup by Sports Illustrated, is said
that in the history of Calvin-Hope games(~70-80 years), the margin of
total points between the two teams was either 5 or 7 (That was middle
of last year, can't quite remember). You can't get much of a better
rivalry than that.

Right. All of the rec.sport groups were created under a proof-by-
shouting charter. They pass out free exclamation points, or did when
I subscribed, when you first post. However, I hardly ever use mine and
now my desk is littered with them. I am running low, though, on
Snide Remarks, Pointless Jibes, and Adolescent Venom and could
use a refill. Does anyone know if the supply truck will come around

Fisher's pulled a real winner out of his hat.  Crawford's won Player of the
Year honors for the Houston area the past two years, and is one hell of a
player.  On top of that, he's a good student and seems to be very mature for
his age (based on newspaper articles and a letter that I got from him after
I sent him a congratulatory letter for on his being named PoY and some
things he'd been quoted as saying that impressed me a lot).  I think we're
going to have to start shooting yankees again, this is getting out of
control. :-)

Hope he does well.

Last year, Ayers was quoted as saying that he and Huggins talked shortly after
they both got their current jobs and agreed that it would be better if they got
their programs together before discussing playing each other.   It would
appear that this is the case now, but I haven't heard anything more.  Maybe
somebody else knows more.  Anyway, I think it would be a great game.
I would guess that Cincinnati will have a better team this year than Ohio
State, but it's hard to predict how the Ohio State youngsters are going to
perform.  Cincinnati is going to have their hands full with Memphis State
in the Great Midwest this year, though.  Nick Van Exel looked awesome in
the Worthington summer league up here, by the way.

	There is currently a thread in rec.sport.football.college which asks 
the question:  What is the biggest rivalry?  I'd like to address this question
to college basketball.  

	I'm currently at tOSU, so we like to beat the perenially-good Indiana
and in more recent times Michigan.  I graduated from Villanova which always
loves to beat Georgetown.  However, I don't think these compare to the ol'
Duke vs. Unc games, but I understand this rivalry to be rather recent too.

	So what is the best rivalry in college basketball?  Consider factors
such as tradition, quality of teams, and the impact of the game (i.e. does
it usually determine conference champs).

Duke/UNC has been going on for quite a while.  Duke is a relatively new
school (basically, 1920s) so the rivalry isn't like a Harvard-Yale thing.

But, when my mom went to Duke in '48, the schools were rivals.  The rivalry
really heated up after Duke got good (Dick Groat, Jack Marin) and has its
up and down years.  There was a (brief) period when people thought that Duke 
would never challenge the upper echelon of the ACC again.  There was even
talk of Wake and Duke joining the Colonial A.C. (see: William & Mary) but
that was:
  a. More serious about Wake than Duke, and
  b. Just talk.

To answer your question, the rivalry is at least 40 years old now.

Just got the new Gibbons letter, and it's chock full o' news.
**Michigan St. got a verbal commitment from top 20 PF Jon Garavaglia**
**Boston College got VC's from Donya Abrams (6-8 PF) and Keenan Jourdan
(6-7 G/F)**
**Villanova got a VC from 6-4 OG Alvin Williams, a Philly-Area player.
This may help 'nova get Rasheed Wallace**
**Missouri got 3 big recruits: 6-7 SF Kelly Thames, 6-9 PF Derek Grimm,
and 6-1.5 wonder Jason Sutherland.  Sutherland beat Jerry Stackhouse
in the NIKE slam-dunk contest with an amazing array of high-flying moves.**
**Marquette signed 6-3 OG Kevin Pieper**
**UNLV got Oak Hill 6-2 OG Sunshine Smith and 6-7 F Brian Hocevar** 

Speculation:
**6-0 PG Jacque Vaughn has eliminated Indiana & Stanford from his
recruiting list, and is deciding between Michigan & Kansas. Gibbons
predicts Kansas. The prospect of a pure, quick point like Vaughn 
dishing off to Webber is scary.  If Webber stays, that is.**
**5-3 PG Bobby Crawford is deciding between Vanderbilt, Michigan & UCLA**
**Rashard Griffith's schools: Ohio State (the favorite, according to BG),
Purdue, Wisconsin, Michigan and now Oklahoma.**
**7-4 Thomas Hamilton is close to signing with Pitt**
**UConn is close to getting a VC from 6-8 F Kirkland King. This, along
with Rayshard Allen's signing with Tulane, breaks up the "Fab 5" for
Dale Brown.**

OK, so Montross is 2nd team All-American at Center, but nowhere to be found
in the ACC awards?  So much for internal consistency (and don't give
me any of this crap about how he's the 2nd best Center in the country, but 
only by default because there aren't any good Centers and the ACC team is 
full of forwards and guards, all of whom are better than Montross.)

I'm not arguing the merits of Montross here.  A 2nd team all-american
should be on the all-conference team - no matter what the conference.

Sheesh.

	Well, Matthew, the 2 teams were written by 2 different people.
	The All-American list is written by Vitale himself -- and the
	conference awards are written by the ACC writer.  Therefore, the
	inconsistencies.

	Most certainly.  No arguement here.  I did remember one year,
	however, where Stacey King got something like 3rd-team All-American,
	yet didn't even make 1st team All-Big Eight.  That's because he
	had another center in front of him in the voting -- Danny Manning.

Hey, I know you fight fire with fire (I always do), but don't slam on all
of Indiana just because of some &*^*&^$*hole from IU.  There are a few
things one can do in Indiana other than basketball, but probably not as
many as you can in North Carolina.  But this guy bashed on Raleigh, so if

The women are returning all but Ann Adkins from the 1992 national

I'm not making any other plans for spring break. :-)

The men?  Well, Adam Keefe is now playing for the Atlanta Hawks, and

I suspect most of us agree with you -- I sure do.  A school should hang
banners for things like conference championships (*real* ones, Carolina),
final four appearances, NIT championships, or whatever the school takes
pride in.  I asked about the NIT banner because your fellow Bruin was
raving about only NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP (his caps) banners hanging in
Pauley, "glory", etc.  I think that the NIT banner looks a bit out of place
with all the NCAA banners, but I'd be happy for Duke's "Final Four" banners
to look out similarly out of place someday.

There's been talk about all those National Championships in this thread.
For what it's worth, here's my $0.02.
  UCLA's 10 championships are all of the following:
     A. Part of a bygone age in college hoops.
     B. Incredible in any age in college hoops.
     C. Worth honoring for a long time to come.
     D. Without significant effect today (e.g. recruiting, awe in opponents
        -- possible exception may be pressure on coaching staff but even that
        must have diminished a lot).
