College Basketball 2011-2012

if we lose this game i'm rooting for us to lose out

We are gonna lose this game. I hate that I have to do the same.

 

we are stuck in this 9-9 hell and we need to get out of it. but we'll likely wind up .500 make the tourney as an 11 seed, get bounced in the first round and people like pman will consider it a success.

Oh I know, it needs to be done. I just hate that it has gotten to this point.

evans's haircut is pissing me off. we get it, you're retro. haha very funny.

[Magnetic Curses]

they get every loose ball and then hit a 3

Yep losing at home to a terrible Wisconsin team. Congrats Bruce, Keadys master plan is complete.

[Magnetic Curses]

wisonsin should have taken a timeout like 4 times there, and then illinois is the team that ends up taking one.

[illiniguy]

Quit stoppin the game to check on our players. Instead call the foul. This isn't the Phog.

[Magnetic Curses]

it's not that we aren't hustling, it's that they're getting every single bounce.

[illiniguy]

it's not that we aren't hustling, it's that they're getting every single bounce.

I don't even care, the talent level difference is great again in this game. Yet again we are content playing at a pace they dictate. I dare anyone to name a worse coach in America right now than Bruce Weber.

I agree with you except for the fact that I think our players are too dumb to make good decisions when they play fast. Well, Paul at least is.

Why are college basketball teams so content to play half court basketball?

[illiniguy]

Motion offense baby.

[Magnetic Curses]

no sense of urgency at all

[illiniguy]

When will we ever force the ball out of the other teams best players hands? Just content to let them beat us. Thank god this nightmare is almost over.

It has to be. The programs dead.

The kid leading the conference in scoring? He'd be fine, just don't force him to play point guard.

Gary Williams just summed up this match up pretty well: "Bo won't let his team continue to play in a manner that doesn't best suit them." You mean, you're allowed to deviate from the script to best take advantage of your personnel? Holy [expletive], somebody get the memo to Weber!

I'd rather this play out. Weber knows he is done. His pettiness and snakiness is going to be impressive to watch. It's also probably gonna cost us Henry and Shaw transferring out.

like i said, let's hire chris mack after this season rather than let someone else hire him. we'd likely be able to keep all of our players and maybe have a presence in ohio.

It's gonna be a black guy, did you see what the trustees did after the football hire? And Thomas has ties to Smart. He will be the next coach if he wants it.

[Magnetic Curses]

if they do hire a black guy, it will be long overdue. i still like mack though and think he's the best candidate.

I like the future of the Irish when they're beating unbeaten top-ranked teams 2 years before most of the players are supposed to be good. Nice job, Brey.

 

So Notre Dame won tonight? That's a great win for Mizzou.

And in retrospect a much less embarrassing loss for ND than it first appeared.

Yep losing at home to a terrible Wisconsin team.

 

Hahahah, oh boy. When the boats sinking, make fun of the iceberg. Great strategy.

It's Wisconsin's worst team in quite some time, right? If Illinois wanted to be more than a [expletive] bubble team, they had to win today.

"Worst" is relative. Yes, this is a down year, but they're 16-5, with 4 of those losses being top 20 teams. They'll still end up around 22-9 and make the tourney for the 14th straight year.

 

Agreed, if Illinois was actually an improving program, they should have won today, especially with Wisc missing their FTs. Instead they continue to slide to middle of the pack since dee/deron/etc.
