Ending ( Feb 8th)

Total Pro Sports – Before we begin this post we would like this thank everyone who has helped Total Pro Sports get to where it is today.  This post is our 1000th and without the help of our writers, all the tips, the reader support and the links we wouldn’t have grown so fast in such a short time.

In the next couple of month you can expect new improvements to Total Pro Sports, so be sure to keep an eye out.

So once again we would like to thank everyone who has supported TPS.

Rivalry week is here. Rankings mean a little less, pride means a little more and bragging rights are up for grabs. Michigan State took care of business on the road in Ann Arbor and Kentucky held off Florida in Rupp Arena. Next Connecticut squares off with Syracuse,  and of course Duke and UNC. With match ups like these, it is feeling a bit like March.

College Basketball POWER

RANKINGS for week 12.

Rank	Team	Record	Change	Comment
1		22-1	-	Hasheem Thabeet carried Uconn to a victory over Michigan on Saturday. Next Jim Calhoun’s team gets to host a somewhat reeling Syracuse team, losers of  4 of their last 5, Wednesday.
2		23-1	-	No question they are strong but you just get the feeling that Uconn, UNC and Pitt would talk care of the Sooners. Out of the top teams, none relies on just one player like Oklahoma does Blake Griffin.
3		21-2	-	Wednesday Duke and North Carolina add a chapter to their rivalry. Hansbrough and Co. travel to Cameron Indoor. My money is on the Tar Heels.
4		22-2	1	Is there a better forward combo then Sam Young and DeJuan Blair? Can’t wait for their show down against Uconn next Monday.
5		18-4	3	They got shellacked by Uconn on their home floor last week but did bounce back against St. Johns. Louisville is the most perplexing team in the top 25. At times they are unbeatable, other times their offense is nowhere to be found.
6		20-3	6	My take is that their utter humiliating beat down handed to them by Clemson (74-47) was an aberration, but we will see Wednesday.
7		20-4	5	Since their loss to Penn State the Spartans have reeled off 3 straight victories, most notably a 29 point demolishing of Minnesota. The best news for the Spartans is that they’ve done this without star forward Raymar Morgan.
8		18-3	1	The ACC has been getting to this young team. Losses at Georgia Tech and Miami drop them down to near a 3 seed. Next up another road game against NC State.
9		18-2	4	Are they just beating up on what seems to be a down Pac 10 and an apparent horrible Notre Dame team?
10		20-3	6	Count me as one that was surprised to seem them take care of Gonzaga so easily. They shouldn’t lose the rest of the way with their hardest game coming at UTEP.
11		20-4	3	Don’t look now but Jay Wright’s team has reeled off 6 in a row. Oh and not to mention they’ve scored in the triple digits their last two times on the hardwood.
12		20-3	3	So riddle me this. They beat Duke by 27 then lose to Florida State at home? Inconsistency is trouble especially come March.
13		21-4	NR	In the month of February the Tigers have wins against Texas and Kansas.  Surprised? Me too.
14		20-4	4	They hold South Florida to 57 points but lose, then they score 84 and they still lose. They’ve lost their grip on the Big East lead.
15		21-2	4	They have lost some of their early season luster  losing to Wisconsin-Green Bay and narrowing out victories against the likes of Valparaiso and Detroit.
16		20-3	6	Want to know another interesting game no on Tobacco Road on Wednesday? Try the Musketeers, coming off a loss, against Dayton, who is fighting for their tourney life.
17		19-5	1	They Jayhawks reeled off 8 wins before going down to Missouri. Sherron Collins has his team only one game back of Oklahoma.
18		19-5	4	With Demetri McCamey in the back court and Mike Tisdale and Mike Davis down low, the Fighting Illini have balance and with do some damage come March.
19		18-5	6	Along with Patty Mills and Stephen Curry, James Harden might be the most important basketball player to his team. Harden takes his near 22 point average up against UCLA on Thursday.
20		17-6	8	They miss Robbie Hummmel, who is out witch a back injury. They need him back to have hopes of claiming the Big Ten Title.
21		23-1	3	They could finish the regular season with 30 Wins. If they don’t lose the rest of the way what seed do they get? Joe Lunardi has them at an 11 seed right now.
22		17-5	5	On paper they have talent that could match anyone. Unfortunately for them, paper doesn’t get you far in the Big Dance
23		17-5	NR	Impressive Wins last week against Minnesota and Purdue. B.J Mullens is starting to look like the 5 star prospect he was projected to be.
24		18-5	NR	Florida State is only 1 game back in the ACC Standings. Wake is up next on Valentine’s day.
25		18-6	5	The ‘Cuse are talented but ever since their loss to Georgetown nearly a month ago, they seem to have lost it.
