College Basketball 2013-2014

My favorite part about being a Purdue fan is that the refs love my team as much as I do. That love is despite the despicable Mackey Arena crowd who cries about every call against them. It's very big of the zebras to overlook that.

[illiniguy]

you're going to lose to purdue at home, just [expletive] quit basketball

 

I'm entertained by how you act like this is a rare occurrence. This is the 5th year in a row Purdue has won in Champaign.

I mean except when we won by 20 last year, at home.

 

Whoops, my mistake. I remember being so pissed off at losing that game that I figured it must have been a home loss.

 

Fair enough. You're 1/5 in the last 5 years on your home court.

You were pissed off at losing to a much more talented team on their court? Interesting.

Pisses me off that IU didn't win in Champaign now. I do wish the Chicago kids would stay home though. Every Illinois team that has had a heavy Chicago flavor has been very fun to watch despite being fan of a rival.

We are starting to make inroads back into Chicago. Simeon is sending a lot of kids our way now. Hopefully that continues. Groce and Smith really seem to hit it off.

two [expletive] terrible calls on each side to allow purdue an advantage on the illini's home court. illinois is the only school that doesn't get calls at home, the [expletive] only one.

 

Refs benched Hammons for you

 

Not one of those 3 fouls was even a questionable call.

I think his 3rd was pretty questionable. That's the one they called him going over Bertrand. There wasn't a whole lot of contact there.

Plus, like any game, they missed calls against Illinois as well. Bertrand I think it was who was on a fast break and carried like a mofo, etc. The refs aren't the reason Illinois lost. Hammons ate Egwu's lunch and missing the front end of three 1-1's was a huge blow.

The Betrand carry was pretty blatant and out in the open as well.

If you believe in Karma, you guys must feel like you did something wrong when the Johnson brothers go 6-6 from the line down the stretch. I don't know what the odds of that happening are but they've got to be pretty low.

Between that and the one sticking the three while we missed like a thousand front end of one on ones lol, I felt it wasn't our night.

 

I feel like anything we did wrong was probably paid off in full with the last 5 years of the Weber era.

If you read the post right above the one Bob quoted, I say exactly that. They didn't deserve to win and the officiating had little/nothing to do with the outcome.

Ugh Purdue is just the most boring everything.

Both of them hitting a combined 6 free throws is much more improbable than one of them hitting a random three.

ugh, purdue and indiana both won big games, rendering this thread unreadable for at least a week.

The three posts from IU fans about IU's win made this thread unreadable for a week?

Vanderbilt reached the bonus by the first TV timeout. That's a first.

HOO HOO HOOSIERS! :stickman:

Can Ohio State just drop out of the Top 20 now? They are not that good.

[Formerly Snayke]

No tournament for Missouri. Defensive trainwreck and no reliable scoring from their bigs.

That's Illinois, just replace defensive train wreck with offensive.

In a CNN story last week, Willingham said her research of 183 football or basketball players at UNC from 2004 to 2012 found 60 percent reading at fourth- to eighth-grade levels and roughly 10 percent below a third-grade level. She said she worked with one men's basketball player early in her 10-year tenure who couldn't read or write.

 

North Carolina has halted the research of reading specialist Mary Willingham until she receives approval from a review board and is investigating statements she made questioning the literacy level of Tar Heels athletes.

This was almost certainly Sean May

There's some internet speculation that it's Hansbrough.

Wordin it "early in her 10-year tenure" makes me think they'd have been gone shortly after she started. Hansbrough was at UNC until 2009. Add in that his father's a doctor, and his brother transferred into ND, I think it's laugh at the stupid white hillbilly in effect. This opposed to my rational belief that it's Sean May

What a non story. Like the NCAA is going to do anything to UNC.

Rob Judson named IU Director of Basketball Ops.

 

Old Illinois man, right?
