College Basketball 2007-2008

[bukie]

Michigan beat Iowa 55-47. Ugly offenses in the second half.

 

psu-illinois score might be lower than that... bring on the big ten brickfest.

 

Not sure why that Iowa-Michigan score was surprising. Both teams are pretty bad.

 

Like you said, this game won't be much better. In fact, it has a good chance to be even worse.

 

I was expecting bad, but that second half was....really, really bad. Like I said above, Michigan went scoreless for 10 minutes, but Iowa went and trumped them by going 16 minutes in the second half without a basket (8 free throws). Iowa made 5 jumpshots for the entire game, none in the second half.

not too often you see PSU wearing their home jerseys in the B10 Tourney

So 6 minutes to go in the first half, PSU is shooting 83% from 3-point range, but Illinois still somehow leads by 6. Reason for that? Illinois shooting 100% from the FT line.

 

Yeah, I don't get it, either.

and penn state is turning it over every other possession while the Illini have about 87 offensive rebounds

Well, yeah, but I was just commenting on the weird shooting numbers. It's like they enlarged the baskets for this game.

Is Penn States point guard really this good?

Is Penn States point guard really this good?

 

which one? Talor Battle?

[bukie]

It'll be exciting to see how Illinois finds a way to lose this one.

[Derwood]

penn state losing it here

[Derwood]

oh yeah, chuck up contested 3's from NBA range....sound coaching by DeChellis here

[Derwood]

great time for UofI to go cold from the line

[shnsajax]

Right now Colorado is beating Baylor by 12 in the 2nd half. I almost wonder if that would be enough to knock out Baylor from the tournament. Colorado is bad, and that might be enough to get someone like Ohio State or Florida in, in front of them.

Illinois is really taking a crap right now, but that is nothing new.

No excuse to lose to Colorado, especially at a neutral court.

 

Illinois is really doing their best to blow this.

[Derwood]

penn state up by 1 with 52 ticks left.

 

Taylor Battle is so fun to watch.

[Derwood]

wow, congrats to Illinois

[Flames24Rulz]

4 points in 5 minutes, but Illinois still wins.

 

Tomorrow is going to be ugly, but at least they did win today.

Ahh well, so close. Well, three close games against PSU. First close (within a basket) win this year.

Is Penn States point guard really this good?

 

which one? Talor Battle?

Yeah, he is pretty good. How in the hell have you guys not done better in the league with him and the one good player you had who didn't get hurt right away. I always mix the two up.

ASU down 4 to USC with about 3 minutes. They were up 9 with about 10 minutes to go and have had many opportunities in the last minute or so cut into the deficit or tie it up and have failed. Probably a must-win for the Sun Devils.

[snoodmonger]

So was Joe Alexander a big recruit? I know nothing about him, but he's been insane at the end of the season.

the team is REALLY young. they only dressed like 8 guys today, 3 or 4 of which were freshmen.

 

Battle is amazingly confident for an 18 year old, and has already become the vocal leader/court general for the team. hope he continues to improve over the next 3 seasons

Yeah he is pretty solid. Got to the lane with ease and finished. He used Fraizer like toilet paper.

Baylor and Colorado in OT. Baylor could slide right from should be in to squarely on the bubble if they can't complete their comeback and win this one.

[Andy]

I would've preferred to avoid Marquette. I'm a little worried about tonight's game.
