Re: 2009 NCAA Tournament thread

i think jordan has the tools to become a shut-down defender. likely he will always be a liability on offense. where is his brother going?

 

he apparently wants to go to illinois, but that won't happen unless he wants to walk on.

 

but jeff is bad, real bad right now. he may develop into something like frazier, but he's got a long way to go.

 

Yeah, I think Marcus Jordan really needs a scholarship since his family is hurting for money. FWIW, I talked to Marcus after the NU/Illinois game at Evanston, and he said Davidson is his first choice.

[radarluv1]

Is there some rule that states Duke must always play their 1st round and 2nd round games in North Carolina?

 

Yes, it's called pod seeding. In this case, it actually works to Duke's detriment since a lot of UNC fans will cheer against them. It happened when Duke and UNC were both 1 seeds in 2005.

some of the fans like UNC? who cares, the advantage is in not travelling across the country.

thats interesting. i heard the younger one was better, maybe he is and jeff is also just Davidson type talent

UNC and Duke can be placed in the same location, so UNC fans that stay for the later games will cheer against Duke. And yes, an advantage is not traveling across the country, which Duke has earned with their season.

Does he have any high-major offers? I remember when he was a sophomore a lot of people seemed to think he would be a Big 10 talent. Then apparently he didn't get much bigger or better outside.

wow...tisdale...wow

[Flames24Rulz]

Just take Tisdale out if he's going to commit fouls like that. He's a liability on both ends.

[radarluv1]

brock is the only one playing with any energy. 3rd on tisdale thats a good thing

[Derwood]

3 fouls on Tisdale. at least he has SOME stats

[Guest]

good lord

its just that there is always games in NC. there isnt always games in IL, despite the having the 3rd largest city

[Flames24Rulz]

WKU got away with a travel on that possession that they hit a 3. That was clear as day.

[Guest]

rebound tisdale!!!!

[radarluv1]

that was a clean box out, imo. we need a break though

[Sammys Boombox]

UCLA is threatening to end my good day on a bad note. They can't make shots all the sudden.

 

Why are you cheering for UCLA?

 

I just have them over Nova and into the Sweet 16.

[Derwood]

nice shot selection Tisdale

[radarluv1]

thats the worst shot in basketball, mike

[Guest]

Screw these refs.

[bcl412]

They are letting WKU get set up and square on the three. They aren't winning if they keep that up. I don't get why their D is playing so bad.

[Magnetic Curses]

i hate it when the experts are right. great year, though, guys. they outperformed my expectations.

[Cynosure]

Screw these refs.

 

Sounds like me in the hawks threads.

 

Wow WKU has been ridiculous from 3.

[Derwood]

trading 2's for 3's won't cut it

[Flames24Rulz]

This team just wasn't very good this year. Weber should have been commended for making the tournament with a squad that featured only two real players.

[Magnetic Curses]

what can you do about that? really nothing. career shooting night beyond the arc for the hilltoppers.

yeah, I didn't expect them to reach the nit this year, so this is a bonus.
