NCAA College Basketball 2005-2006 Thread

[RP]

First off. IU fan here .


Anyways. Arizona and Washington are having another epic game in the Pac 10 today.

This kid just hit a 3 at the buzzard to tie the game and its in overtime now.

[RP]

Brandon Roy is the person for the Huskies who hit the shot. He's clutch as hell.

[RP]

And Hassan Adams looks like one the Lebrons.

[RoXer]

Hassan Adams :cool:

[RoXer]

UofA needs this to get back in the rankings.

[RP]

This Brandon Roy kid is really good. He's gunna be one of those guys that are spoken highly of towards the end of the year. He reminds me of Shawn Marion.

[The Miz]

I once schooled Brandon Roy in a game of foozball. No joke.

[RP]

Larry Bird is my cousin

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Last year the Big East decided to admit South Florida into the conference instead of Memphis. Whoops.

:lol: Yah

I guess they thought there would be more talent coming from South Florida.

[RoXer]

"Arizona stuns No. 7 Washington in 2OT"


...I wasn't stunned at all.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Washington had the nation's longest home win streak and beat Gonzaga earlier this year. It's a little surprising

[BCWWF]

Mizzou sucks, but hey, there's always the kansas game

[RoXer]

Oh yeah, the streak. I suppose.

[mrslackalack]

If Nate Robinson had came back for his senior season then Washington might have been ranked number 1.

[mrslackalack]

My surprise team so far: Florida ( After losing Roberson, Lee, and Walsh I thought they would me lucky to make the NCAAS but they are looking like a contender)

The disspointment so far: Stanford (They was hyped to be very good and have talent but are 4-6)

[RoXer]

MSU-Ohio ST in double overtime.

[Savio]

Damn Cuse didn't give up. :y:

[BCWWF]

Christian Moody sucks, ahh haha haha. Thomas Gardner is the man.

[RP]

IU vs Illinois:cool:

[RP]

Killingsworth is a monster

[RP]

Roderick Wilmont will be the man

[BCWWF]

Pretty awesome game. I used to kind of root for Illinois, but the IU fans made me root for them tonight. Awesome game.

[mrslackalack]

I feel if Indiana played Duke at this point in the season instead of early on they would get the win.

[The Greater Power]

Wisconsin has a huge matchup tomorrow night against OSU, we need to keep our winning ways going!

[The Outlaw]

FIRE MIKE DAVIS

[BCWWF]

Bobby Knight should go back to Indiana since Miles Brand is no longer there, and that way Texas Tech would suck again

[mrslackalack]

BIG win for UK last night now hopefully they can best the bottom of the SEC before their big games against Miss St. and Florida.

[BCWWF]

UK was my preseason National Champion.

Last night was rediculous. They were talking about UK and kansas, and who has a better chance of making a run in March. I don't think these teams are even comparable. UK is a bunch of awesome sophomores, ku is a bunch of freshman. UK has a much better coach. These two teams aren't even in the same league right now. UK could potentially be really good come tourny time, ku I doubt will even come close.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

You guys think the record of 7 teams from one conference making the NCAA tournament is gonna be broken this year? I've been hearing a lot about the Big East maybe pulling it off.

[BCWWF]

Well the Big 12 could potentially only put three teams in, so who knows

[Supreme Olajuwon]

The way it looks now the Big East will have at least 6 teams in the tourney so 7 or 8 is definately a possibility depending how Marquette, Rutgers, Georgetown, and Notre Dame fair in conference play. I wouldn't be shocked if they got 9 teams in.

[OssMan]

I had never seen Dukes home game until last night

its the most annoying shit ever

its funny though when their shot gets blocked and the other team gets a rebound

all the fans shut the fuck up

[mrslackalack]

They said the Big East could even get 10 teams in the tourney.

[BCWWF]

ESPN has Nebraska in their bracketology right now :|

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I hope everyone watched the Crosstown Shootout last night as it was fantastic.

Xavier is looking like they could do things this year.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Even tho I don't know like Duke at all, their arena is pretty sick. The atmosphere in the place is crazy. It must be an awesome place to play for Duke players, and an even better place to beat Duke if you're on the other team.

From SI:

PUNK'D by an unidentified Maryland fan, Duke's Cameron Crazies, who unknowingly mocked their team during a Jan. 26 home loss. Before the game Duke fans were told Maryland foward Nik Caner-Medley's girlfriend is named Myra and her pet name for him is Piggy. It was a hoax: When fans chanted, "Myra and Piggy," it sounded like they were saying "Myron Piggie" - the notorious summer-league coach who, it was revealed in 2001, had given money to former Duke star Corey Maggette

[loopydate]

They said the Big East could even get 10 teams in the tourney.

For some reason, I always thought that you couldn't have more than eight qualify from one conference. That was why they divided up the teams so strangely, so that teams couldn't play conference rivals until they reached the regional final.

Or, I could just have dreamt the whole thing, which would explain why Dick Vitale turned into Grimace and bit off Clark Kellogg's head during a brawl in the stands.

[The Outlaw]

The feel down there is sick. No place compares to it.

Good point though, considering all fans shut up when a home guy gets rejected?

[RoXer]

Duke losing to Georgetown 42-28 at the half.

[The Greater Power]

Wisconsin loses to ND State 62-55 which really pisses me off. We really need to rebound from this loss.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Scoring 16 in a half usually won't help you win. Nice job Sconsin

[The Miz]

lol, commentators have nothing to say during Duke games if they can't suck Redick's dick the whole time

[RoXer]

Miz, I added you to MSN. And AIM. But you're never on. y not?

[RoXer]

g towwwwwn

[The Miz]

Dunno, got tired of instant messaging in high school. Way too many people know my SN that I don't want to talk to.

[The Miz]

Has JJ Redick ever hit a big shot in his life? He cries about not getting foul calls more than Tim Duncan though, so props there

[RoXer]

Why does everybody keep saying that? I rarely see Duncan complain.

[CNM]

Then you must not watch him much. Duncan bitches after every call. In his eyes, he never commits fouls and is fouled on every shot he takes.

[mrslackalack]

Man Duke lost, Pitt lost, and Fla lost. I think G-town and Tenn should get NCAA bids now. And St. Johns after a bad start has officaly entered the bubble race with 2 HUGE wins this week vs Louisville and Pitt.

[BCWWF]

We got embarrassed, and I drove four hours to see it :(

[mrslackalack]

UK came back from 18 down late in the first half to beat Arkansas by 2 and Minn shocked Indiana.

[BCWWF]

Golden Goofs gave IU a show, win their first Big 10 game

[OssMan]

n.c state vs clemson was the best game i have ever seen

[The Outlaw]

IU's going to be hurting without White.

[OssMan]

phuck phlorida phate

[mrslackalack]

n.c state vs clemson was the best game i have ever seen

BIG WIN for Nc St after their embarrsing home court loss to Seton Hall who was demolished by Duke earlier in the year. (although Hall may have got way better with a huge win tonight at Cuse)

[Savio]

:lol: the score for the SU vs Rutgers game just said

Rut 12
SU 1517
I wish I coulda got a screencap :(

[OssMan]

listening to n.c state game on UVA radio right now...anyone know an n.c state radio station :rant:

[BCWWF]

MIZ-ZOU

Its in OT now. Experts claim if Cuse loses this game they might not make the tourney

[RoXer]

If U of A ever loses, they most likely wont make it

[mrslackalack]

Some think UK wont make it because they have had some bad losses and have been down double digits in all but 4 games this season. But I think they will make it even though they only got two major wins (West Virginia,Louisville)

[McLegend]

After watching the Duke game aginst BC and as I am watching Duke/NC I have relized that...

JJ Reddick never passes.

[OssMan]

fuck duke

[loopydate]

JJ Reddick never passes.

As a result, they're in serious trouble as soon as they run into a physical opponent in the Tournament.

MSU beat up on JJ last year, and they beat Duke. Somebody else will use the same strategy this year.

Still a pretty wide-open field, though. UConn's probably the best team right now, but there are probably a good half dozen teams that could win it all this year.

[mrslackalack]

Duke was very fortunate in their wins against UNC,BC,FSU,VT and Memphis. Like Dickie V said last night they were very lucky to win all five of those matchups.

[The Outlaw]

Haha, you don't get lucky 5 times. You get lucky every once in a while, ala VT. They didn't get lucky against UNC, BC, or Memphis. FSU was a really good game, don't see how they got lucky in that one either. If by lucky you mean the games could have went either way, then yeah, but I don't consider that lucky. Lucky is hitting a half courter at the end of the game. Lucky is what we (Bama) did against Vandy last night. It just being a good game doesn't consist them as lucky. They are 21-1. Could they be 16-6? Very easily, but they aren't, because they know how to win.

[RP]

:lol: @ Mike Davis trying to tank the season.

[BCWWF]

Lol, I was thinking the same thing as Outlaw. You don't just happen to beat five good teams because of luck.

[RP]

Is it just the cool thing " Not " to call fouls on Sheldon Williams anymore? I hope that shit dont fly in the tournament, because Duke should have 2 more losses to there record if the refs did there jobs instead of swallowing there whistles.

[The Miz]

I'd say its pretty lucky that FSU center Alexander Johnson got called for an intentional foul when he did absolutely nothing, the league agreed and suspended the referees. The free throw because of the foul was worth 1 point, the same amount Duke won by.

[mrslackalack]

exactly that was no way intentional, plus Williams got by with a clear foul on BC in the final seconds of a close game that might have sent the game to OT.

[RP]

He got away with a foul at the end of the VT game too. He's been bullet proof this year.

[mrslackalack]

I read somewhere that the ACC believes that Duke gets help from the refs.

[loopydate]

So does the rest of the country.

Meaning that the rest of the country believes that, not that the rest of the country gets help from the refs.

[BCWWF]

Quin Snyder resigned today, probably the biggest story I've ever worked on. We found out and went to the arena, and there was all sorts of press there but he was gone. My friend next door is the token white walk on, so he gave me a little scoop, but the press conference consisted of the media relations director reading two sentences that didn't actually say Quin has resigned, so it's a big mess. Anyway, maybe some positive energy will come out of Columbia now, people hated Quin for some reason.

[mrslackalack]

Who will coach them next year? I seen former Charoltte and A and M coach Melvin Watkins is taking over for the rest of the season.

[BCWWF]

Yeah, Melvin looks to take over this year.

Rick Majerus is my choice, but it could be anybody right now. I think it's a midtake to take our chances on a mid-major coach though.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Guys guys guys...Duke players don't foul people, they are way too good. I only saw the Duke/BC game, as well as the Duke/UNC so I can't judge the other ones, but Williams raped Rice at the end of the BC game, I know you "let them play" towards the end but I don't think "letting them play" means you can get WWF clothline some dude to the ground while hes going for a layup. I'm not saying that cost BC the game because I think they probably would have still lost anyways, but it was pretty retarded. The whole end of that game was retarded though, BC tried to get a and1 call before that play, which they should have gotten and didn't (Dudley got hit like 3 times while shooting a lay up) I think they should have just realized that Duke is invincable at the end of the game and should have just went for the 3 instead of driving the ball.

Duke is real good this year, but I don't see them winning it all. Even though Redick is having a unreal year, I still don't see Duke winning with a freshman pointguard. Everyone is riding his nuts, yeah hes good, but you can still tell in certain sitations that he is a freshman. I think he will be exposed even more once tourny time rolls around.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I hope Duke runs into Indiana so Killingsworth can shit all over Williams and maybe pull out the upset to make all of RPs claims untrue (Kinda like the NFL :shifty: )

[RP]

Word is that if Mike Davis doesnt beat IOWA in Bloomington. He's out and when i say out i mean gone the next day. I personally,am not rooting for this because reguardless of my hatred for Mike Davis i still want to see IU in the field of 64. If they lose to Iowa, that likely wont happen.

As for Stima... I never maid a claim that was not true. No clue what you're talking about.

[BCWWF]

Indiana is ranked right now. I don't think a loss to the No. 18 team in the nation eliminates them from the NCAA's.

Also, I would say that it's highly unlikely that they get rid of Mike Davis during the season. What good does it do to put an interm coach in during the middle of the year for a contending team? Also, I don't know what the players think about Davis, but most likely they probably like him, which would again add to the problems.

Quin Snyder resigned today because our season is over. Indiana is far from over, even if they lose to Iowa.

8 losses total and 5-5 record in the Big Ten is nothing to be happy about and also is not a concrete at large bid in the Big Tourney.

Being from Indiana and having a pulse on whats going on, I can honestly tell you that if they lose to Iowa, Mike Davis will not coach another game. Shit is that deep. Trust me on this one. I'm here and i know whats going on. Mike Davis is potentially coaching his last game.

[The Outlaw]

If that's so, then Indiana people/front office/whatever are pretty lame.

I read somewhere that the ACC believes that Duke gets help from the refs.

I read somewhere that Bill Walton knows what he's talking about 100% of the time.

Actually, Johnson got a technical foul after getting the intentional foul (which was his fourth) to foul him out. The technical was BS, but I see why they called it. That was his second intentional foul, both coming on the same guy (Williams). They were trying to calm thegame down, because there was some trash talking and whatnot, but they could have called so many other things than what they did. Williams bumped Johnson in the chest and they called that, it was pretty pathetic.

The only game they truthfully got lucky was against VT. They were beating BC by 20 and BC came back. I don't call them winning that one lucky, I call it them finding a way to win in a hostile environment after letting a team get back into it. They didn't get lucky against North Carolina. Every single guy that played for Duke had at least 3 fouls. Williams, McRoberts, and Paulus all had 4 and I think JJ had 4, might have been only 3? I get tired of reading everyone all on their cocks about getting calls. There are two reasons you get calls in basketball. 1. You ATTACK the goal, and Duke does that very well, evident by Williams shooting so many of their free throws, because noone can guard him. See: Boston College. 2. You are up at the end of the game, which is where a lot of Duke's free throws come into effect. Again, See : Boston College

They didn't get lucky on all 5 of those games. They were very close, good games to watch. They are 21-1, could they easily be 16-6? Sure, but that doesn't mean they got lucky, that means they have the toughness to win close games. That means they are coached very well and know what to do in the clutch.

I get so tired of hearing everyone on here bash JJ because he can't "hit the clutch shot". Let's take a look at the big games and how he has performed.

Texas - 13/24, 9/16, 6/6
North Carolina - 12/22, 5/10, 6/6
North Carolina State - 7/15, 4/11, 10/10
Boston College - 8/18, 3/6, 9/10
Wake Forest (big game at the time) - 12/21, 5/13, 3/4
Indiana - 10/17, 4/8, 5/6

Dunno but it looks like to me he has hit some pretty big shots against some pretty good teams. Everyone talks about JJ being a whiney bitch, but I just don't see it. Watching the Duke - Maryland game ATM, that would have to goto Caner-Medley. He yells at his teammates when he does something wrong, always whining about calls, doesn't look like a team player at all.

I only watch SEC and ACC ball, so I don't know about Big Ten ball, but it seems like ACC ball is called much more closely. A lot more free throws are shot during all ACC games it seems.

[RP]

Indiana lost again. Mike Davis mysteriously came down with a flu and did not coach the game.

[mrslackalack]

Yeah I remember when Dan Issel was ''sick'' from the Nuggets and ended up not returning.

[mrslackalack]

Former Arkansas Interim Head Coach and Current UAB Head Coach Mike Anderson is the favorite to become the next head coach at Missouri. Also on the Mike Davis situation I read in the Lexington Herald that someone at IU called John Belien of West Virginia so that might be a sign of Davis getting fired. I could see Belien at IU, and I could see West Virginia hiring alum Bob Huggins if Belien leaves WV.

[mrslackalack]

I hope Duke runs into Indiana so Killingsworth can shit all over Williams and maybe pull out the upset to make all of RPs claims untrue (Kinda like the NFL :shifty: )

That would be like 02 when they pulled off the huge upset against them. I'd like to see a rematch Indiana played much better than Duke that game but they lost.

[mrslackalack]

WLEX 18 news is Lexington said that UK President Lee Todd has received over 5,000 letters to fire Tubby Smith.

[BCWWF]

Former Arkansas Interim Head Coach and Current UAB Head Coach Mike Anderson is the favorite to become the next head coach at Missouri.

I don't think there is anything set up yet. The curators met today to discuss something, they wouldn't tell us but it's most likely Snyder's severance pacakage. There are a lot of names on the short list right now, and the only concrete evidence is unnamed sources close to the AD.

I don't believe anything in terms of the new coach right now, especially what was reported on ESPN. They had all kinds of information that wasn't even close to being available or discussed yesterday, such as the shit they had about certain players transferring etc. I think ESPN took advantage of the whole unnamed sources thing and sensationalized a few things.

[OssMan]

Why do players all of the sudden think that it is OK to go for a 2 point shot when you are down by 3 with 4 seconds left

[BCWWF]

Wow, I told one of my writers to get a quote from Coach K, just to see what would happen. Turns out he actually called him back, that lucky bastard. (Quin Snyder played under and coached with Coach K)

[mrslackalack]

Why do players all of the sudden think that it is OK to go for a 2 point shot when you are down by 3 with 4 seconds left

I believe mismanagement of time or the player hopes to get an easy bucket with a foul for a FT shot. Dickie V said on the issue however to go for a 2 pt shot when your down by 3 unless it is less than ten seconds left.

[loopydate]

Wow. Nova beat UConn. Like I (and pretty much every analyst I've seen/read/heard, so it's not like I'm taking credit for this) said, this is a wide-open field. Selection Sunday is less than four weeks away, and there are seriously a ton of teams that could win it.

[RP]

Mike Davis will finish the season and then he's done next year. Dont be suprised if Rick Majerus is a leading canidate for the job.

[mrslackalack]

ESPN's list of the next head coach of Indiana

John Belien- WV Head Coach

Rick Majerus- Former Utah Head Coach

Steve Alford- Former IU player and Current Iowa Head Coach

Isiah Thomas- Former IU player, Former Pacers Head Coach and Current Knicks President

Some former IU Alum I forgot his name but they said hes very secessful at the HS level.

You watched 1st and 10 I see?

[loopydate]

Alford? I thought they tried to get him before they hired Davis, but he didn't want to leave Iowa.

Belien seems like the best choice there. He's done a good job recruiting for a program that doesn't have the "legacy" that an IU has. Majerus has too many health problems and, even though he's a Hoosier guy, I don't think Isiah would take the pay cut to coach a college team after running an NBA franchise.

[mrslackalack]

Alford? I thought they tried to get him before they hired Davis, but he didn't want to leave Iowa.
.

I think Alford will eventually pull a Roy Williams and go to IU.

[BCWWF]

Looks similar to the list of coaches we are looking for :(

Anyway, Alford is one that I thought of initially. Seems like a good choice.

[mrslackalack]

UK fans are not happy with Tubby Smith this season. A lot of people want him out, and its no secret that Bobcats GM Bernie Bickerstaff wants to hand the coaching reins over to Tubby.

[CNM]

Big win for CU over Oklahoma. If they take care of business the rest of the way, they're in the tourny.

[mrslackalack]

Well Davis will step down at the end of the season. They said do not be surprised if Davis Loyalists DJ white and Robert Vaden transfer to wherever Davis ends up. Rumor is that Alford will accept the IU job if hes their number 1 choice. Andy Katz at ESPN said he sees Davis going to UAB if their current coach Mike Anderson goes to Missouri since hes from Alabama.

[BCWWF]

Majerus is ocming to Missouri

[mrslackalack]

I heard on CBS if Alford does not get the job then IU will offer it to Tom Crean who is the head coach at Marquette.

[BCWWF]

Wow. I was at Phog Allen today for the Mizzou/kU game, and although we got blown out it was incredible. I was sitting courtside under one of the baskets, their fans are just so good. It is non-stop action the whole time, even when they have double the points. There was a bunch of people there too, Kirk Hinrich and Wayne Simien were there. Hinrich looks like he smokes a lot of pot, I got to talk to Simien for a sec too, he is the man.

Yeah, that's got to be the stupidest college hoops play I've seen since Chris Webber's timeout in the '93 final. What Goldwire did was absolutely idiotic. I would not want to be him going to class on Monday.

[BCWWF]

What was it, for those of us who accidently slept until 4 p.m.?

[loopydate]

What was it, for those of us who accidently slept until 4 p.m.?

Charlotte was up by two over George Washington (at GW, who are undefeated in A-10 play) with only a few seconds left. GW misses a shot, and Charlotte grabs the rebound. There's a tussle between Goldwire and one of GW's players that results in Goldwire throwing an elbow (that I'm pretty sure the refs missed)...so he throws ANOTHER elbow.

The GW player gets called for a personal foul for grabbing on Goldwire (which is why Goldwire was throwing 'bows), but Goldwire gets nailed for a technical foul.

Charlotte makes one of their two foul shots. GW comes back and hits both technical shots to narrow the lead to one. On the inbounds play, a GW player misses a three-pointer, but it's tipped in at the buzzer for a GW win.

Goldwire's temper cost his team the game.

[OssMan]

Wow UNC vs Duke is like watching two rich kids fight about whose dad is stronger

[McLegend]

What's worse is, if you want to watch sports tonight, that's what you get. Even if you watch something else (hockey, pro hoops, whatever), they're talking about Redick and Hansboro (or however you spell it). That's why I'm watching Panic Room on CBS. :D

[mrslackalack]

UNC has impressed me a lot this yr. HUGE win for them.

[BCWWF]

It's kind of surprising that they would put this game on a Saturday night, after all it is probably the biggest regular season game in the country.

[Loose Cannon]

Nightmare day yesterday with Charlotte blowing it big time, but great night when UNC won. I was at Chapel Hill for the weekend and everyone rushed the streets and did the Bonfire thing. Dunno if they showed it on ESPN or something cause there were helicopters everywhere.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Why would you want to watch anything else? Duke vs UNC is one of the best games every single year.

I was not aware that the refs could stop the game and look at instant replay to determine what fouls to give out though? The dude grabbed GW's jersey, that's a flagrant right there. I thought it was pretty bunk that they went and looked at replay to determine a technical foul.

[Savio]

If I was a GW player I'd send a thank you to Goldwire

Syracuse just beat the best team BTW.

It's a new rule for just this kind of occasion. If there's a scuffle, they want to be able to pick out who did what. Like the spitting incident in the football game this year.

[Loose Cannon]

Charlotte's done :(

Oh well, still got Iona in.

[mrslackalack]

I agree about Iona Loose they can be very dangerous they gave my UK Wildcats quite a game this yr.

[Loose Cannon]

yea, my freshmen year there, (2001-2002) they went pretty deep in the tourney and were expected to lose the first round. Hope they can pull some magic.

It's a new rule for just this kind of occasion. If there's a scuffle, they want to be able to pick out who did what. Like the spitting incident in the football game this year.

Sooo, they used it but still messed up by not giving the GW guy a flagrant foul. Nice.

[loopydate]

Yep.

[BCWWF]

I've been at the Big 12 Tournament yesterday and again today, games start in an hour today.

I missed the first game yesterday and didn't pay much attention to Colorado and Baylor, but the Oklahoma State and Iowa State game was pretty good. Iowa State came back from down like 20 or something, got within a couple but didn't pull it off. The only thing that pissed me off there was Bill Self stole my seat, that bastard. The Mizzou game was alright, but we ended up losing.

I don't know how much I will be around for today. I fly back tomorrow, but there are really only two games that I am interested in today. I want to see the Texas and Texas Tech game, just for Bobby Knight and his press conference, and then I kind of want to see Kansas as well. Colorado and A&M is lame and so is Oklahoma and Nebraska.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

BC MARYLAND TONITE NITE NITE NITE

So much for Boston College coming in and being a weak team in the ACC...Ranked #11 in the nation and tied for 3rd place I believe in the league. Also beat UNC when they played them in Chapel Hill. Would be bomb to see BC go out and win the tournament, not saying it will happen or anything but it is definetly possible. It is definetly possible that Maryland could beat BC tonight too though. ACC is pretty wild

[RP]

Gerry Mac is making me think about the Cues as a possible final four team right now.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

BC is up like 24-4 right now

[Savio]

Gerry Mac is making me think about the Cues as a possible final four team right now.Dunno he may get burnt out.

[RP]

Watching Nova/ Pitt. Man Pitt is alot better then i thought they were. I could see them in the Final Four too.

[RP]

Wish i had three tvs I want to watch all these games. Plus i'm trying to watch the Pacer game.

[RP]

Question : What would be better then a Iowa vs IU matchup in the Big Ten finals.

Answer : Nothing

By better i mean, more awkward.

[RP]

OMFG This guy on Pitt just ripped Allen Ray's ( Villanova ) left eye ball out. No fucking joke. This guys eye was out of his socket. Not on the floor, still on his face. It was brutal.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Whattttt

[RP]

brutality.. I bet his career is over

[loopydate]

Hm. Guess I'll need to actually watch SportsCenter tonight instead of just having it on in the background to hear the scores. How did he do it?

[Savio]

Yeah I thought it looked weird....ouch.

[Savio]

BTW they didn't show it on sportscenter.

[loopydate]

Yeah. Guess I shouldn't be surprised, though. They could show it, but they'd probably get a ton of angry e-mails and phone calls. Probably a wise choice to talk about it, but not show it.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Anyone see the BC Maryland game though? No disrespect to the eye gouge, but Craig Smith is a beast

[loopydate]

Ray's got his eyesight back. They say no soft-tissue damage. He might play in the NCAA tournament.

Great news.

[BCWWF]

Syracuse is a joke. If they end up winning out and taking the Big East title, they don't go any further than second round in the tournament.

Anybody see the Bobby Knight interview from yesterday, if you can call it that. He walked in and sat down, but after nobody asked a question right away he stood up and walked out. He came back in and said "The one thing that I really liked about this day was the press conference," apparently you could see me laughing on the ESPN coverage.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

BC in the ACC final in their first year in the league. Fuck Duke

[McLegend]

This Duke/BC game is awsome.

[Loose Cannon]

JJ Reddick is a god

[The Miz]

He's awesome at hitting three-pointers when no one is covering him. He sucks at just about everything else though. This Duke team gets nowhere near the Final Four. Book it

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Man BC was so close. What a game

[OssMan]

Can Josh McRoberts do anything besides dunk?

[McLegend]

According to Dick Vitale and Mike Patrick he's the total package.

Dick Vitale and Mike Patrick are idiots though.

[OssMan]

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/basketball/ncaa/all.america/t1_aashelden2_all.jpg
Shelden wins

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

BC got robbed. Smith got fouled like 37 times in the last 2 minutes and nothing got called. Duke players don't foul tho, they are way too good.

AssMan, McRoberts is also good at getting dunked on. Hinnant posterized him, anyone see that shit :eek:

http://www.partyeastcarolina.com/photos/fullsize/215103.jpg

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I hate Duke, but Reddick can obviously make shots with people in his face. He drilled a 3 with somebody right in his face, so much so that he fell down after he shot it because of the contact. I'd be surprised to see Duke make the final four, but I was surprised to see them win today. Always pulling out the bullshit. Luckly I got to watch local coverage so I didn't have to listen to the Dickie V Duke D-ridin'

Boston College hoppefully will do some damage in the tourny though, their offense is pretty tough to stop. I've never seen a team pass so well in the paint, their guards set up the right on top of the 3 point line to run the offense. Pretty impressive.

[Crimson]

I love Marchmadness, I love it. I think there will be a bunch of upsets this year, because there really isnt a clear cut favorite. Like Ohio State has a good chance i think of goin all the way , they will probably be a 2.

[Loose Cannon]

Bring on LSU

[The Outlaw]

OMG JJ REDICK CANT HIT THE BIG SHOT HE ISNT CLUTCH OMG OMG OMG

Get out of here.

Can Josh McRoberts do anything besides dunk?

He can dunk, dribble, pass, shoots pretty good for a big guy. If you think he can only dunk, you are a moron. He's going to be the real deal for the next few years. Him and Paulus will be the guys everyone hates on instead of JJ and Shelden lol

I wouldn't say TH handed Shelden his ass. Shelden had 3 fouls like 2 minutes into the second half and still had 18 points and 15 boards. Not too bad. Then again, all the HATERS find a way to bash the DOOKIES so go ahead and take your shots.

Robbed? lol ok

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

The thing is Williams should have had 10 fouls, that dude is the biggest hack ever. His few 2 years he was fouling out with the QUICKNESS and his style has no not changed at all. He just doesn't get whistled for them because hes "the landlord" now and is good at blocking shots so refs "let him play." If you really don't think Smith on the last few possesions BC had towards the end of the game you got that Dickie V vision.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Syracuse is a joke. If they end up winning out and taking the Big East title, they don't go any further than second round in the tournament.'Cuse is a 5 seed..you think they'll be the 5 seed to lose to the 12 seed? Atleast one happens every year.

[Crimson]

U-C-L-A! Comin out of their bracket bitchesss

[The Miz]

OMG JJ REDICK CANT HIT THE BIG SHOT HE ISNT CLUTCH OMG OMG OMG

Get out of here.

Why are 3/4 of his points always scored in the first half?

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol I knew UNC was going to get a higher seed than BC in the tournament. BC only finished 1 game behind them during the regular season in the ACC. They also beat UNC the 2 times the played, once in Chapel Hill and once in the tournament, thus advancing further than UNC in the tourny. Only reason UNC is ranked higher is because UNC beat Duke, so fucking stupid.

Outlaw you are right about Greg Paulus, he is gonna be the next annoying faggot from Duke. He was doing the stupid classic Duke celebration of clapping, pumping his fast, and screaming after diving for a lose ball but then he almost got his ass kicked because he hit Hinnant in the back haha

[BCWWF]

I don't get why people like UNC and hate Duke. It's the same thing with the Red Sox and Yankees. For some reason one has the reputation as the good guys and one is the bad guys.

They are both highly competitive academic schools in North Carolina, both have incredibly successful coaches, and both have some national titles under their belt. So why is Duke the bad guy and UNC the good guy?

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Because Duke is the small, private, preppy kid school with the stupid "cameron crazies" While UNC is the large state owned school that is pretty much the anti-Duke, so that makes them popular. Also, UNC has put way more players into the league, while Duke has won mostly on their system (Granted, they have put a lot of dudes into the league, but not as many you would except with their success + the guys aren't the same calibur as the UNC guys....some guy named Jordan)

Samething with the Sox Yankees. Even though the Red Sox have a high pay roll themselves, people don't view the Sox the same as the Yankees. People see the Yankees as the team that buys championship and people don't really like that. I guess people can relate to the Red Sox in a way? but I think they are popular because mostly they are the "Anti-Yankees" to a lot of people. For me personally, I was born in the Boston area so it's natural to hate the Yankees. I've been noticing a lot more Red Sox haters lately though, but its all good. People are just mad 'cuz Bostons been doing pretty good lately championship wise.

[McLegend]

Duke gets way more media coverage then UNC. Also the thing with Duke getting calls which it seems like they do. Could be 2 big reasons.

[McLegend]

Or what Stima said

[The Miz]

Stima is right. Also, Duke is just very very unlikeable. All their players always have been. UNC is just a bunch of black guys playing NBA style exciting basketball, Duke has a lot of one-dimensional players that are all either ugly or look like assholes. Like Redick, come on, you know you would hate that guy if you met him in real life. He does his little "I'm the greatest" hand motion after he hits his wide-open threes but cries like a little bitch if anything doesn't go his way.

The main thing for me is I hear way too much about Duke and how great JJ is. How much do you really hear about UNC? You always hear about how they lost their top 7 scorers, how Hansborough is a great freshman, how Williams is a great coach. If you're watching a UNC game that's all you're going to hear. Now if you are watching a Duke game, or any college basketball game on ESPN for that matter, it could be Hofstra vs. Drexel and the commentators will still finds a way to tie it in to sucking JJ Redick's cock. I think by now everyone knows that JJ Redick is the greatest free throw shooter in history. We get it. They bring it up every time hes on the line, every time anyone is on the line, everytime the word "free throw" is spoken. I don't think people like hearing so much about JJ Redick when in actuality he isn't that great.

Do any of you really think JJ would get this much attention if he was black? Not even close. Realistically JJ is an excellent long range shooter, good passer with decent quickness with terrible defense, rebounding skills, and athleticism. Its only because he's white that he gets all the attention.

I dislike UNC but I really hate Duke. What is to like about Duke unless you're a student there/Durham resident? I've never understood how they have any fans outside of North Carolina.

[The Outlaw]

I dunno, I hate both the Yankees and the Red Sox so I can't say much about that. The thing is with the Yankees I actually like most of their players and I respect their management, but with the Red Sox I can't say the same. The only reason I "hate" the Yankees is because they beat my team all the time. Pretty simple concept.

Why are the cameron crazies stupid? Because they jump up and down? Because they create pretty much the craziest and loudest environment in college basketball? It's penis envy pretty much, everyone hates them because their favorite team isn't as good as Duke is so they have to get their shits and giggles somehow. Paulus actually wasn't diving after a lose ball, he stole the ball away from a guy and then while sliding out of bounds knocked it off the guy's knee. It was a hell of a play so I can see why he was celebrating. Paulus almost got his ass kicked? He was celebrating and accidentally tapped that BC guy and he went all thug on him. Yeah, shoving a guy is almost whipping his ass. Good observation.

I don't really see how you can use the argument of oh he scores all his points in the first half so he isn't clutch, kind of reaching there but ok. Let's take a look at the last 5 games Duke has won and see if JJ only scored his points in the first half.

3/12 against BC - 11 points in the first half and 15 in the second half.
3/11 against WF - 6 points in the first half and 14 in the second half.
3/10 against UM - 9 points in the first half and 16 in the second half.
3/4 against UNC - 11 points in the first half and 7 in the second half
3/1 against FSU - 14 points in the first half and 16 in the second half

I mean, do I really need to go on? You make it sound like he disappears when they are down or in the clutch. He scores 27 points a game when they win compared to 30 when they lose. He scores more on the road and in hostile environments. I don't really see how you can say he doesn't come through in the clutch. He's not going to hit every shot, that's pretty much a given. But if I was a coach and I needed a basket, I don't know if I could say I would want anyone else with the ball besides him.

The key to Duke winning is The Landlord though. In the three games they have lost, he had a terrible game in one, fouled out in one, and was in foul trouble the whole other game as well. He sucked against Georgetown with like 4 points and 4 fouls and fouled out against FSU. He fouled out against FSU at a critical time and still had like 20 and 16. Had 18 and 15 against UNC but was in foul trouble a good portion of the game so he had to play soft and TH basically had his way. I don't understand whoever talked about Shelden fouled out all the time earlier in his career and now he never does because he is "The Landlord". He still gets a lot of calls against him, and nearly every game he's in foul trouble.

Hey, if you gotta hate though, hate on...

[The Outlaw]

Or you could be a moron too. :y:

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Penis Envy? No, all big time teams have people that jump around or paint their faces and all that shit. It just gets annoying to hear about them ALL the time, like they actually play for Duke. Shit, a college basketball team has a lot of loud college kids?!?! FUCK NO OTHER TEAM HAS THAT. Only thing that makes them "Unique" is that their seats are really close to the court.

I honestly don't see how anybody who hasn't gone to Duke or doesn't lives near Duke could like them, unless you only like teams because they win all the time. And hated on? They get so much love on EPSN its ridiculous, I've seen classic Duke highlights more times than I can count(Especially that Christian Lettner shot over and over and over and over and over) and I don't think I've seen one Michael Jordan (aka the greatest player of all time) UNC highlight this entire season.

Their is a reason why a lot of people don't like them though and it's just not because they are good all the time, there is plenty of teams that are good all the time and they don't get the same hate as Duke. For me personally, it really started in that National Championship game againest Arizona. Most bias reffing I have ever seen.

[BCWWF]

Part of the reason I prefer Duke to UNC is because everybody else hates them. But overall, under coach K, Duke always has the creme de la creme. Their players are good students, fundamental basketball players and consistantly one of the best teams since Coach K has been around.

Also, the Red Sox are not the anti-Yankees. The Red Sox are the Yankees in disguise of the A's and the Twins, who are actually the anti-Yankees.

[The Miz]

Or you could be a moron too. :y:

The man strongly resembles a dinosaur. What's moronic about that?

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Well by Anti-Yankees, I ment the team that is their main rival. Also, they are like more relaxed rule wise (like the facial hair thing etc) and people like that better (usually anyways) Somehow people on the Yankees respect the management more than members of the Red Sox though, so i don't know haha. I guess its kinda hard to disagree with management when every single player is overpaid though, so maybe that is right.

I think if you actually liked Duke, you wouldn't notice all the coverage they get on ESPN and shit. For me, I can never get sick of the Yankees/Red Sox rivaliary and I never notice it being on "too much" or anything because I never get sick of it. For people who are fans of other teams it makes sense. I think the samething happens with Duke, if you actually like Duke, you only notice fans hating on them. You don't notice Dickie V and others sucking JJ Redick's dick.

[McLegend]

I like Duke and JJ Reddick mostly becasue they are so hated, but it's pretty obvious that Dickie V has the biggest hard-on for JJ.

Seriously if JJ Reddick actually took a gun out during a game and shot someone Dickie V would then praise Reddick's abitly to shoot a gun. He wouldn't even think twice about the guy Reddick shot.

It's funny IMO.

[The Outlaw]

Oh I notice that they are on TV all the time. I notice that Dickie V likes to jerk off while watching them play too. That's the only reason I have any dislike for it, but there is always a mute button which serves well.

I think the reason they show the Laettner shot is because it was a pretty good play and was fairly recent. Michael Jordan left college before a lot of us were born. Yeah, they still do show his game-winning shot against Georgetown (http://members.aol.com/airjordan23site2/23jordan_unc_09.jpg if you don't remember the shot). I've seen it a few times this year. Again, his last season was 83-84, and the Laettner shot was in '92. That might be a reason, and another reason they keep showing it is because it was one of the best games in NCAA history. The kid didn't miss a shot the whole game.

Like I said, I can see why people dislike Duke because of the coverage, but I just get irritated when people blindly bash their players.

[Joey Slugs]

duke, ucla, florida, uconn

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I think the reason they show the Laettner shot is because it was a pretty good play and was fairly recent. Michael Jordan left college before a lot of us were born. Yeah, they still do show his game-winning shot against Georgetown (http://members.aol.com/airjordan23site2/23jordan_unc_09.jpg if you don't remember the shot). I've seen it a few times this year. Again, his last season was 83-84, and the Laettner shot was in '92.
So they won't show Jordan's shot because it's too long ago, but they never stop showing Lorenzo Charles's dunk for NC State that happened the next year. SHUT UP THE OUTLAW.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Texas, Gonzaga, UConn, BC

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Not to mention Michael Jordan is the greatest player ever, while Leattner is the classic Duke player. Great in college, pretty average to below average in the NBA.

[The Outlaw]

lol you have a point Supreme. :o

Not to mention Michael Jordan is the greatest player ever, while Leattner is the classic Duke player. Great in college, pretty average to below average in the NBA.

Yeah, they should show MJ and not Laettner on COLLEGE highlights because he is the best NBA player ever and Laettner was great in college but average in the NBA. You are onto something!

If you think there is any bias against MJ anywhere, you need to be shot.

[RP]

Michael Jordan wasnt even the 2nd best player on North Carolina.

[mrslackalack]

I strongly dislike Duke. But Coach K knows how to coach and has a lot of class and respect for the opposing players.

[mrslackalack]

Many felt Cincy was robbed from the tourney yet Air Force who was considered a low bubble team made it!!!!!!! The team didnt even have a get together for it cuz they felt they were not in!

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Yeah, they should show MJ and not Laettner on COLLEGE highlights because he is the best NBA player ever and Laettner was great in college but average in the NBA. You are onto something!

If you think there is any bias against MJ anywhere, you need to be shot.
Yeah I need to be shot becuase I said there was a biased againest MJ, I realize you are a huge Duke fan for some reason, but I never said anything about thier being a "bias" towards MJ. don't start jumping to conclussions here. The reason why I brought up Laettner and Jordan is becuase they show the Duke highlight 3000 times any time any type of NCAA basketball game is ever shown and they never show MJ's game winning shot. Granted, Laettner was a bit more impressive because of the inbounds pass but it's not THAT much better. I think it would make more sense to show the greatest basketball player ever and his game winning shot in college atleast a few times instead of constantly showing the Grant Hill/Leattner play. That is one of the reasons why people hate Duke, that's why I brought it up. Becuase Duke is constantly shoved down people's throat you just get sick of them and start to hate them. Thanks for letting me know that Leattner was good in COLLEGE though - I didn't realize he was good in COLLEGE.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

More important that Duke though, what's the deal with 5-12 games? I picked A&M over 'Cuse and I was thinking about going with Montana over Nevada but I decided againest it because I remember Nevada being one of the 12 seeds (I think?) that upset a 5 recently, so I thought they would know better. I didn't end up doing it though :mad: Why does it happen atleast once every year?

[The Miz]

lol Iowa

[BCWWF]

UConn is losing in the second half

[Crimson]

I picked George mason on this upset, so far they have a 10 pt. lead. My picks have been way off, at least if i get this one.

[BCWWF]

George Mason has all but won now. Still should have been Hofstra.

Go Albany!

55-58 UConn right now

[Loose Cannon]

fuck Albany was right there.

All NY is gone :(

Iowa :o

[Loose Cannon]

jesus christ, now Kansas

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I really thought UConn was gonna lose today. So many close games in the 1st round of the tournament so far, pretty crazy. Really hasn't been that many blow outs at all, not even in the 1-16 games

[MVP]

Fucking Syracuse and Kansas were supposed to go to the Elite 8. :rant:

Thank god I picked Goerge Mason for the upset. Perfect DC bracket so far.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Oh dip, I actually had Montana and Texas A&M on my facebook bracket. I am currently in 18th place at my school haha

[MVP]

Shit UAB lost. Never mind, don't have a perfect DC bracket.

I'm like 56th place at my school.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Someone was tellin me about how if you pick an upset it counts as more points or something on Facebook. I've gotten a lot of the upsets right - I'm not totally sure how it works but I am sure the two 12 seed upsets going right helped me a lot, plus a few of the other smaller ones like #10 NC State winning. Too bad Seton Hall lost though, I had them upsetting Tennesse in the 2nd round. Woulda been huge.

[MVP]

I never heard anything about that, but if it's true then it's probably why I only have 30 points on facebook.

[RP]

I had Marquette in the final four

[Corndad]

I had to sweat it out tonight. Have Texas as my Winner and UNC as a Final Four team. I would have cracked up if UConn lost cause basically everyone in my pool picked them and Duke in the Title Game.

[BCWWF]

ahhahahahaha ku lost first round again. bill self sucks and he stole my seat

shit, I never check my facebook anymore. Could of done a bracket I guess.

GEORGE MASON

NC STATE

WOW

George Mason beat UNC

GEORGE MASON, HO

That has got to be so cool to beat UNC after all the hype they have. Especially for George Mason, although is should have been Hofstra.

haha damn I actually had Tennesse losing in the 2nd round...but it was to Seton Hall :(

Yeah word. I knew whoever won the SH/WSU game would beat them, but I knew nothing about Wichita.

I want Bama to pull off the upset.

Ahh, it's hard to do when you have 7 scholarship players on your team (Thanks Justin Jonus), and two of your big men get in foul trouble. It's hard enough with just the 7, but when you have to play without your 6'11" center it's tough.

If UConn lost yesterday, there would have be no way somebody could have had all final 4 teams correct.

[mrslackalack]

On ESPNNEWS it said no1 on ESPN.coms tourney pickem has a perfect score right now.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Nobody can have the perfect brackett anywhere. It is impossible

[mrslackalack]

In 2000 there was an unlikely final 4 Mich St, UNC, Wisconsin and Florida and a girl that didnt follow college b-ball got it right! She went to Wisconsin knew Mich St was one of the favorite's to win it all UNC was a tradtionally good team and she just thought Florida would be good. If I am correct Wisconsin was a 8 seed UNC was a 9 seed and FLA was a 4-5 seed so I thought that was crazy.

Bradley takes down Memphis tonight.

I've gotten the final four right twice

How can Duke players wear Air Jordans? That is ridiculous

Reddick will probably hit the game winner athe way he's playing

Tyrus Thomas

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

lol Reddick 3/18 damn

LSU's pointguard is crazy quick, dude was blowing by everyone. Hot game though, too bad Williams was the only Duke player to really show up. DeMarcus Nelson played pretty good too but you can't expect him to carry the team.

[Joey Slugs]

well.... there goes my fucking bracket.

[RP]

I have Texas to win it all. My Final Four is Texas, Marquette ( /sigh ), Uconn, Boston College

I'm kind of rooting for West Virginia

I have Texas to win it all. My Final Four is Texas, Marquette ( /sigh ), Uconn, Boston College

I still have 3 of my final 4, but Duke was my national champ.
