Here we go...WANT HOOPS?...It's not the PLAY for PAY Variety but it's BIG TIME College Basketball and it is all on ESPN Tonight. 10 of the TOP 22 TEAMS in NATION square off headlined by a couple of EARLY DANDIES.

Coach CAL and his WILDCATS take on COACH SELF and his JAYHAWKS followed by COACH K and the DUKIES vs the IZZZONE and SPARTY. Other ACTION includes the GATORS taking on BRUTUS and the BUCKEYES as well as the PRANGE, MEMPHIS, BAYLOR, XAVIER (OH), CINCINNATI, VANDY, and CAL BERKELEY.

Let's preview the TOP 3 Contests and a HOST of PLAYERS in the BLUEDUDE SPORTSTALK Pre-Season ALL-American Team:

#2 KENTUCKY vs #11 KANSAS: Let's start with these numbers KENTUCKY 2,052 Wins and a Winning % of.760....KANSAS 2,038 Wins and a WINNING % of .718. Both Schools ranked 1 and 2 All Time and KENTUCKY is #1 All Time in WIN % while KANSAS is #3 AllTime with only UK and UNC CHAPEL HILL ahead of them.

Tonight's match up is itriguing for the simple fact is that KENTUCKY is Loaded but playing with FRESHMAN and a lot of them. Having said that all 4 WILDCAT FReshman were consensus TOP 12 in the COUNTRY last season so they are not average FRESHMAN they are of the 5 STAR Variety.

KANSAS is lead by everybody's ALL-AMERICAN Thomas ROBINSON and he has SENIOR HElp at the POINT with former ST. ANTHONY NJ product Tyshawn TAYLOR. Agter those 2 the DEPTH drops off considerably as last year was an OFF YEAR for JAYHAWKS Recruiting but it is still KANSAS for whatever that is worth.

Tonight's Game is at MSG in New York City so it will be a neutral site for both. WHO WINS....just going on PAPER I would say the WILDCATS but that's why the PLAY the GAME.

In COLUMBUS OHIO it will be the #8 Florida GATORS n Billy DONOVAN against Thad MATTA and his Ohio State BUCKEYES. The GATORS come in with a veteran backcourt led by Kenny BOYNTON, Erving WALKER, Rutgers Transfer Mike ROSARIO (a 2008 MCDONALD's All-American from ST ANTHONY'ds JERSEY CITY NJ), and ballyhooed Freshamn G Bradley BEAL out of St. Louis.

The BUCKEYES will counter with a TOP 5 PLAYER in the COUNTRY in COLUMBUS nbative Jared SULLINGER and smooth SG William BUFORD. Throw in Sophs PG Aaron CRAFT and SF Deshaun THOMAS with a TOP 5 Recruting CLASS with two BIG MAC's..the BUCKEYES will be more than ready for this early 5 STAR Match Up.

WHO WINS.....based on EXPERIENCE the BUCKEYES might have a little TOO MUCH on the WINGS and on the BASELINE and they have some home cooking.
