i want to cut his legs off at the knees to make this more fair.

lol announcers are awful

What happened to Bobo Morgan? Is he gonna make an impact?

 

I think he'll make a good impact next season. He showed up extremely out of shape and that held him back in figuring out Howland's big man defense. He's made major strides in conditioning and practice so that's good.

 

Think Aldrich turns pro? He's probably a top 20 pick right now.

Ya they are.

Boy does Bilas have a lot of good things to say about UConn for a one possession game.

Sad thing is Bilas is the better of the two.

is it a foregone conclusion that Thabeet is going to the NBA this year?

[Butterscup1679666578]

[expletive] this is getting ugly going into half. i wanted to be within 5.

[Butterscup1679666578]

leo needs to learn to pass more.

 

ugh.

[cubbinalltheway]

leo lyons shoots entirely too much

[Prior4CyYoung]

Not sure, he needs to develop more of an offensive game if he wants to succeed in the NBA though.

[Derwood]

These Missouri uniforms are possibly the worst in basketball, perhaps any sport. They rival Oregon football uni's in terms of unadulterated awfulness

[Cynosure]

This and the Pitt game are the only thing that can keep my bracket alive!

 

Go Pitt, go Conn!

[Butterscup1679666578]

we need to come out strong here and not stutter like we did to start the game. if we can get a third foul on thabeet early, i like our chances.

Kansas State was rolling out some two-tone purple duds earlier in the year. One shade looked like it was faded from too much washing. I'm not defending these Mizzou jerseys though. The blacks with gold lettering look a lot better to me.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Well, Mizzou is 30-1 when they're not trailing by double digits at the half, and they're not trailing by double digits. Hopefully the small and thin backcourt wears down for UConn.

is it a foregone conclusion that Thabeet is going to the NBA this year?

 

He's been a potential Top 10 pick every year since he was a Freshman. He'd probably be in the Top 5 this year if he came out. If UConn wins it all this year, the only reason he'd have to stay there is to work on his game and get minutes. I don't know if that would be enough to keep him at UConn.

 

So, more likely than not is my answer.

[cubbinalltheway]

missouri got outrebounded 21-7 (7!) in the first half. that has to change otherwise they stand no chance.

[Butterscup1679666578]

come on refs how do you miss that foul

[NonProfitCow]

Thabeet should have 4 fouls right now.

[Butterscup1679666578]

well this could be the game if we don't stop this.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Walker picked up the ball at the 3 point line and made a layup.

[Butterscup1679666578]

stop getting the score and player's names wrong plz.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Boy we've committed a bunch of stupid fouls today.
