holy howry

 

Duke only beat Rhode Island by 3 points and they were losing 77-76 with 57 seconds left

 

duke, singlehandedly giving up to overrated white high school players everywhere

yeah, i wont be at all surprised when we start four white players this year

[Flames24Rulz]

Well that gives me a little more hope that we can possibly upset Duke on Thursday.

[Magnetic Curses]

man, if he's a journalist then i'm freaking hunter thompson.

 

you're overrated btw and when people go on and on about you it makes me think less of them

 

fear and loathing was pretty awesome though

 

you rotten, vile bastard.

[Magnetic Curses]

Let them talk now because when their team's are losing in the Big ten season they won't be saying much.

 

Yeah this definitely concerns you Purdue fan. Wait around til someone says Purdue isn't a lock to be a 1 seed this year and piss your pants over it then.

That's what happens when you are a journalist you are able to see everything and not have the blinders on.

 

does that also make you unable to spell words correctly

good cover, mr. journalist.

Notre Dame creamed USC Upstate 94-58 after a semi slow start. Luke Harangody had 30 and 14. A nice warm-up for @Loyola Marymount and then Maui next week.

KU is gonna lose some games early this year to teams that "shouldn't" (by name/pedigree) beat them.

DePaul hosts Albany on campus tonight at McGrath Arena. I'll be hammered before and after the game at McGee's. I'll have to be to watch this garbage. They'll beat Albany, but should finish around .500 again this year.

PreNIT gets going tonight. I get to see my Adolecent Boilers on national TV :yahoo:

 

On another note I don't think anyone mentioned before a Ball State freshman (Jarrod Jones) had 21 pts 13 rebs 2 stls and a block in his first game Saturday. He's 6'9" and looks like he will be a dominant force in the MAC.

OU plays something called Mississippi Valley State tonight. It should be a nice, pretty blowout. If OU wins, they'll probably get Davidson tomorrow (11/18).

MVSU is one of the better teams in the SWAC, usually. Which means they're generally one of the 10 worst teams in division 1.

griffin talked all summer about how he was extending his range and i didn't really buy it because every post player says that every summer, but he did hit a 3 the other day, so maybe it's true. I know he was in the gym a lot, so hopefully it pays off.

UCLA played them in the first round of the tourney last year and held them to 29 points.

Yeah, they probably should've been in the play-in game, but I guess the committee feels that if the SWAC were in the play-in game every year, they'd never make the actual field of 64.

The committee doesn't want to have the MEAC and SWAC teams play each other in the play-in game. It's politics.

Ain't that the truth. Hopefully they can be bad enough that: A) Wainwright is fired and B) Dar Tucker decides to stay another year. He is outstanding.

I think we'll be better than last year. Koshwal and Dar Tucker are Sophomores and I think were honorable mention for preseason All Big East. Of course, the last time I got excited about a DePaul tandem it was Sammy Mejia and Wilson Chandler, and that didn't turn out well. I think a decent season and a NIT bid are possible.

 

I'll be there tonight too and probably drinking beforehand as well. Not sure if I'll be at McGee's though. I feel like I outgrew that place.

 

I hate Wainwright too btw. He's an ok recruiter and a mediocre coach, but he' just not the guy that's going to bring DePaul back to prominence (if that's possible). Personally, I'm still really upset that Leito left for UVA a few years back. He was really building something solid...its not like he was coaching some no name school or something. Him leaving belittled the program into small time status. But then again, if Tom Crean can leave a very successfully built Marquette team, I guess its not as big of a shame as I'm making it. Though UVA is NOT in the same class as IU.

I just noticed that Iowa and Northwestern are the 2 teams we get only once this conference season. That sucks.
