Absolutely. Positively. Without a doubt. The. Best. Post. I. Have. Ever. Read. Ever.

If Duke plays OOC away from Cameron Indoor, you best believe it's gonna be on a neutral court. True story: Duke wanted a series with Arizona years back. Coach K actually told Lute Olson Duke would play one home game at Duke, and one road game..........in NEW JERSEY! Of course we know what Olson's response was. And Olson was the one who broke this story. Unbelievable.

He's pulled the same stunt with UConn and Calhoun the last decade. The only way K will agree to a series is if UConn's "home game" is at MSG. **** that, grow a pair Coach K.

I have heard through sources that coach K is as arrogant as they come

Boeheim used to be like this for years, too, until recently when he finally realized that playing tough out of conference games on the road help you out down the road when the Selection Committee meets.

"We have full ESPN broadcast integration for the first time," says Dougan. "It looks exactly like you see on television. All of the intros, fly-ins, movies, graphics, announcers [Dick Vitale, Brad Nessler, Erin Andrews] … all of that stuff you see on ESPN will be in 'NCAA Basketball 10.' Not to mention, we're also doing CBS Sports integration. So that means we'll have two new announcers for the CBS team and that's Gus Johnson and Bill Rafferty. They'll be calling the games along with all of the CBS Sports broadcast packages. So if you're playing through your Dynasty mode, your Monday through Friday games will generally be on ESPN, but your big weekend games will be on CBS Sports. Conference tournaments will switch between the two broadcasts depending on who owns the rights to that specific tournament, and then, of course, the NCAA basketball tournament is broadcast on CBS. It's an evolving broadcast package that will look different from the start of the season to the end of the season. We were really excited just to have one broadcast partner, but by having both, it really brings things over the top and looks amazing.

I am tearing up man.....This is freaking beautiful!!! I have waited on this day all my life. This is the best idea in sports gaming ever in it's loooooong history. Why haven't anyone done this before? EA, I am back with you man.....you guys were trippin for a minute but I see you have come back to the "Force" (lol). NBA Live 10 is an Awesome game despite what all the haters are saying. And NCAA will set the bar for all future sports games, just wait and see people.

They need to bring it over to Madden and have games on CBS and ESPN.....you know it's coming!!! GREAT....GREAT.....GREAT improvement!!! Anyone who can't appreciate this is a freaking Moron!!!

GOOD JOB EA SPORTS!!!!

I'm happy to see all the excitement back for a college basketball game this year. It's been a while since I've been this anxious to see what rolls out from this series as well. I am just about sold on what appears to be improved presentation and gameplay. I'm reserving my nod for "most improved EA title" until I see what is being done about the Dynasty issues. The top 25, ability of small schools to become immediate powerhouses, and recruiting need to be overhauled completely. I saw in one the game trailers that GA Tech was ranked in the top 25; with a 15-17 record! Uh-oh. I hope this gets fixed. I'll keep my fingers crossed because I've been feenin for a good CBB game.

I went from not even thinking about this game to a MUST BUY based on the trailers.
