Re: 2009 NCAA Tournament thread

What the hell happened to Legion's talent?

I was about to post the same thing. He showed flashes early in the season and now just looks completely overmatched.

[Outshined_One]

wow, just saw the takedown. Great judo move

 

Also great awareness on Griffin's part to tuck his head in. He could have sustained a really serious injury if he had landed square on his head.

Should have turned his body so he didn't come down so square on his back, though.

 

It looked like he landed it pretty well. You're supposed to spread out the force of a landing like that across as large of an area as possible. If you land on your side, you risk doing something like dislocating your shoulder or breaking your arm. Landing on your back is actually a good choice in those situations.

[Magnetic Curses]

or, they get called for a foul onthe rebound. either way, they never get the ball back until wku has made a shot.

[illiniguy]

Mike Davis is pretty sure that he has never fouled before in his life. He complains after everycall.

I was taught to protect the spine in those situations. Tuck the head, slap the arm to spread out the impact. But I can't say I've ever come straight over the top like that, though. Usually you get flipped over someone's hip, instead.

[Magnetic Curses]

seriously, count how many times wku comes down and doesn't score.

[Guest]

game = over.

[hawkeyecub]

Stupid UCLA. They were up 11 around the 6-7 minute mark and Holliday had a layup that would have pushed it to 13 and had them on the verge of a knockout punch. He missed, they get a runout to get it to 9 and some momentum.

Well Davis, Dmac, and Tisdale are allergic to defense.

[snoodmonger]

looked like a foul by sanders in the ucla game. no call, vcu can pull to within 1 here.

[jaydee]

way to go illinois. western kentucky huh

[Magnetic Curses]

they've just stopped calling fouls in our favor a lonmg time ago. are there any fouls on wku this half? i think illinois has 10 now.

[CubbieBum]

they cut away just in time for commercial, thusly, a double set of commercials. screw this. i'm glad i'm done watchint the tourney.

 

You won't watch the rest of the games?

I won't. Well maybe to watch KU lose.

 

Why the heck not? I mean its fine to not be a college basketball fan, not everyone is, but for how much you guys post I would figure you are. I'll be honest I think its lame to watch only the games your team is in and completely tune out everything else in that league whether it be MLB, NFL or whatever. Not sure that is the case here though.

Good to see I'm not the only one seeing the crap VCU is getting away with.

Cause I can't stand to watch how other teams are doing things how it should be done and how Weber has railroaded our program.

Time for Bill Cole to rain 3's?

We're just being outplayed by a wide margin here. Refs have little to do with it.

i didn't watch 1 inning of the playoffs after the cubs got eliminated. it feels like torture.

[Magnetic Curses]

4 fouls on wku and 11 on illinois. and it's not like they've been hacking them unmercifully.

[Irrelevant Dude]

And they have now officially cut away in the home market... Wow, way to not show up.

zebras are definitely letting them play. i'd have holliday or collison drive every time, though.

seriosuly, 4 fouls on wku, 4. 11 or 12 now on illinois.

They've been calling it pretty clean, imo. I think that's just the difference in play tonight.

[hotshot13422]

I can't wait til the championship game where it's OU vs Memphis. I hope some punk from Memphis cheap shots Blake Griffin at the end of the game and Oklahoma is up a ton so that Blake can FINALLY go off on somebody and rip off an arm. I'm tired of every one just trying to injure him, it is so freaking stupid.

 

(It's a dream, i know)

Agreed we are a step slow on everything. Thus we foul.
