Nova just got hosed on a BS foul with .4 seconds left to give NC State 3 shots and a giftwrapped win.

[snoodmonger]

take it back, rush looks slow.

[snoodmonger]

we look awful. we really need a healthy rush and a healthy collins.

Penn State loses to UCF after shooting .362 and going 5 for 31 from three point range. This team is going to get annihilated in Big 10 play

[snoodmonger]

ugh, that victory felt like a loss. Hurry back Sherron.

I'm shocked by how things have started out for you guys. I thought PSU had an outside shot at a tourney berth before the season started.

 

Can you at least win your Big 10/ACC Challenge game?

[Butterscup1679666578]

take it back, rush looks slow.

 

wow, rush is back already? for some reason i thought he was going to be out longer.

[snoodmonger]

he came back ahead of schedule. But he couldn't keep up with Budinger tonight. They're saying he's at 80%.

We got our asses whupped by USC tonight. Just too athletic for us.

 

Not what I wanted heading into the Indiana game on Saturday.

I am stunned. USC played like crap against far inferior teams like USD. I was expecting a 10 point win for your Salukies.

Yeah, not a good game for the Salukis, but this loss won't look so bad at the end of the season because USC will only get better. However, that Indiana game is at home, which is huge in college basketball.

Yeah, I saw their games against San Diego and Miami Ohio. They didn't look too impressive. But they sure did against us.

 

Oh well, come tournament time, I think USC is going to be ranked so this won't classify as a "bad loss." Either way, we need to come out with a lot more intensity against Indiana.

He looked slow, but got good elevation on the oop he caught. He will get it back in a month. Plenty of time to get ready for the dance.

 

You guys should have lost last night. That Buddinger travel call with 35 seconds to go and Arizona up two was horrible.

i thought he did shuffle his feet on that. But we were the beneficiaries of a lot of calls, and we should have lost. We looked bad. Collins is the key to that offense, I think. He can break people down, and he's one of our best shooters.

Nova just got hosed on a BS foul with .4 seconds left to give NC State 3 shots and a giftwrapped win.

 

It must be a North Carolina/S vs Nova thing. I remember a gift that the Heels got in an NCAA playoff game too.

I think Collins is the best player you have. I thought he traveled and so did Bilas. He gave his, "that was a difficult call" crap that he says on a bad call. You hear it a lot during his Duke broadcasts.

Duke blows out Eastern Kentucky today. EKU only scores 12 points in the first half, while Taylor King scores 13 in the first, and finishes with 27 (6-11 3 pointers). That is the same guy that played 3 minutes against Illinois and Marquette. Brian Zoubek, yet again, racks up 4 fouls against a team that has no player taller than 6'8".

 

Duke v. Wisconsin tomorrow night. Should be an interesting matchup. Its at Duke, so I fully expect Duke to win. However, I think the Badgers will make it a good fight. Badgers have great size and I've been impressed with their guard play.

Is Duke bringing their own refs for the game too? Watch out if they do.

they have them in house since they never play non-con outside of Cameron

For some strange reason I never hear Vital complain about this like he does Syracuse's home schedule...hmm, I wonder why?

I remember it well cause we wound up losing to the bastards in the title game they didn't belong in. I had also picked Villanova to win that game in my pool.

 

Bastards.

That's right, I forgot how that game effected Illinois too. I always tell my players, don't let the ump or ref be the one that decides the game because you never know which way it'll go if they do.

Big 10/ACC Challenge begins tonight with Iowa hosting Wake.

 

Could we please just beat these bastards once in this damn thing?

 

My blueprint for a Big 10 win:

 

Iowa over Wake. Neither team is good, and Iowa has homecourt advantage.

 

IU over GA Tech. GT isn't so good, IU is, and is at home.

 

Minnesota over FSU. FSU has losses to USF and Cleveland St. on the year. Minnesota is no great shakes, but they have an actual coach now. Leonard Hamilton is also an idiot.

 

MSU over NC St. Game is at Breslin and NC State is not a top 25 team IMO. They got bailed out against Nova and lost to New Orleans.

 

Illinois over Maryland. Similar teams rank-wise. Illinois has 3 wins better than Maryland's best. One common opponent(Northeastern) in which Illinois had the slight edge.

 

Michigan over BC. BC has played nobody thus far, so will hopefully not be in midseason form yet. Game's at Ann Arbor, and I'm out of wishcasting.

[Derwood]

you don't like PSU over VaTech? :lol:

well, penn state just got done losing to south carolina, rider and ucf, teams that were ranked (roughly) 110, 194 and 119 last year, so you can probably answer that question yourself
