You can despise John Calipari, abhor the Kentucky fanbase, but I don’t see how you can do anything but like and admire Patrick Patterson after reading this story:

Jeff Goodman stopped by Butler’s practice the other day and is singing their praises as most are this preseason; Gordon Hayward is starting to sound like he could contend with Evan Turner, Manny Harris, and Kalin Lucas as the most talented player the Gophers will play this season:

Goodman was in Champaign also to check out the Illini:

Maryland’s struggled since winning their national championship, is this the year they stay in the Top 25, land comfortably in the tournament, and advance beyond the first weekend?

It’ll be a challenging and interesting year for the green Pitt Panthers:
