College Basketball 2010-11

Make that 14 in a row. Cold blooded killer.

 

[expletive] Jordan Taylor.

 

34 of 60 now.

 

6 of 7 from downtown as well. Leuer in foul trouble and Taylor has just completely taken over this game.

 

This will certainly help lessen the sting of losing Tokoto to UNC.

 

I didnt really get my hopes up but your right.

I really just wanted to put the walls around the borders. Especially with Koenig from 2013 now having a UNC offer too. The glimmer of hope for me is that some people are saying Dekker is less an athlete than Tokoto but a better basketball player

[ELCABALLO45]

Yeah Dekker is solid but I don't see that. I have seen him play only once so I guess I don't completely know but Dekker will play right away for Bo. Also, I heard Tokoto is moving out of state for his senior year for HS which kinda sucks as well.

Well either Tokoto is unselfish to a fault or the talent around him/coaching at Menomonee Falls has to suck if he is that good and they are only .500

[Smack]

Hoosiers down 10 with 20 seconds left and Crean still has them fouling. What a douche.

[Sosa21MVP]

You already think he is a douche so I don't think it really matters if he had them fouling or not. :P

 

I thought Indiana actually gave it a really good effort tonight but Jordan Taylor was just insane and unstoppable. There really wasn't any answer for that.

+1 easily the worst coach in the B1G.

 

The best was the graphic where of the 10 Div1 teams in IN, they had the only sub .500 record.

I blame Bardo for that. Stupid ex-Illini player bagging on us. I like also how they fit in the Nick Anderson last second buzzer beater replay complete with on-court recreation of it by Bardo and his broadcast partner. lol

Yeah, Taylor was hitting circus shots tonight.

[hawkeyecub]

Hey Jordan Taylor, go to the NBA

Agreed. I thought Indiana played well on both ends tonight. I was actually surprised at how well they were able to guard Wisconsin. Taylor just hit contested shot after contested shot.

[BleacherBadger]

There's a reason he's transferring schools for his senior year. They blow that bad.

 

Good luck at UNC.

 

Jordan Taylor was no slouch in HS, but Bo is one of the best coaches in the nation at developing players. Given alot of tonight was deep launches, but he had a couple killer drives and moves in the paint.

 

Don't go pro.

[snoodmonger]

Come on, when was the last time a college coach went to a worse team with similar/worse prestige in a worse conference when he wasn't severely underpaid at his current job? Trent Johnson is the only one I can think of, but he was getting paid peanuts at Stanford.

 

I could see him leaving. It all depends on if Arkansas really is his dream job.

which would be odd, but apparently he wants $3 mil a year, and arkansas donors have been ponying up in case they fire their coach. and obviously he deserves to be paid among the best in college basketball, especially after this super impressive 8-8 big 12 season, a potential 8 seed in the tournament, etc. honestly i cant believe hes not paid among the best already!

 

seriously though, this whole act of him listening to every job offer and demanding more money every year is extremely tiresome, and frankly, damaging to his recruiting classes. otto porter is waiting to commit to mizzou to see if mike anderson will be coaching there! if hes gonna stay at mizzou, anderson needs to make the committment very soon and stop playing these stupid games. its fine to want to get paid more, but to do it every year, even after mediocre seasons? come on.

You're blaming him for things that haven't happened. Here's the timeline:

 

2009: Anderson gets overtures from Georgia, uses leverage to get a raise after Elite 8 season. Nothing really wrong with that.

2010: Anderson gets overtures from Oregon, listens to make sure they aren't offering stupid money, turns them down in a process that took like 72 hours. Hard to assign a ton of blame there.

2011: Doug Gottlieb(who has no reason to have connections to Arkansas) says that Arkansas is going to fire Pelphrey and go after Anderson, even though Pelphrey has 3 top 100 recruits coming in and has improved over last season.

 

IF Pelphrey gets canned and IF Anderson flirts with Arkansas, then yeah, it's going to hurt his perception a bit. But neither of those things have come close to happening yet.

 

As for this season, it's been slightly below expectations(although if they get 2 more wins before the NCAAs I'd say they've pretty much met expectations). The problem is that most fans didn't bother to adjust their expectations after a 5 star forward never made it to campus, and another big man providing depth left the team early in the season.

this is all true. and believe me, i altered my expectations when mitchell didnt show up, but its the way theyve been playing this year that has been so frustrating. double digit losses at nebraska and colorado? losing to a horrible oklahoma state team? its been disappointing.

 

as far as the offseason, if he wants to listen, thats his choice, but it is going to hurt his recruiting if recruits know he is going to do that every year. who wants to play for a coach who may not be there in a year? it should be a very interesting offseason for anderson. i hope he gives mizzou a long term commitment.

I did think it was kind of strange to focus on that play with it not being an Illinois-Indiana game. It was cool though.

Ready for this Saturday. Big game for Bubbles.

well mike andersons squashed the rumors:

 

"I plan on being at Missouri for a long time, retire here. I’m happy. I think that’s the most important thing. It’s always about being happy."

 

"I’m here. We’re talking about Kansas. We’re getting ready for Kansas. That’s what we’re getting ready for. That’s what I want to talk about. We’ve got a big game coming up."

 

"In this day and age, speculation always runs rampant all the time, and it seems like every year, we get to this stage and speculation starts growing. So people are saying something ? people that I don’t even know. One thing, I don’t deal in speculation. So it’s getting old, really. My point to you is that No. 1, I’m a Missouri Tiger. We love it here. I said we’re going to win a national championship. We’re going to do it here. I plan on being at Missouri a long time. That’s where I’m coming from."

[SouthSideRyan]

"I don't give a [expletive] about North Carolina"

[da bears]

"I don't give a [expletive] about North Carolina"

which is why im not gonna completely believe it until the offseason plays out.

He said he was gonna win a National Championship there, so it's clear he's not above lying.

its good to have dreams

[Flames24Rulz]

We had Missouri State on the ropes and then proceeded to miss 4 consecutive 1 and 1's. Missouri State came back from being down by 9 with under 3 to play to score the final 11 points of the game.

 

Hopefully Chris Lowery's tenure at SIU has come to an end.

"I don't give a [expletive] about North Carolina"

"I'm in this for the long haul." then pats wig in back to make sure it isn't starting to come up.
