2005-06 College Basketball Thread

Okay but the meaning of the word "ignorant" doesn't fit there. It's just a choice.

 

Bob was also All-Pro this year and got much more pub than Gallery. Madden and all of the ESPN guys raved about him for the second part of the year and every time I saw one of the Colts games, the analyst was drooling over him.

Gallery is way cooler. I still have asigned Daily Iowan of him student teaching with his long hair. Plus I lived on the same floor as him in college his first year when he was redshirting. We always thought he was too big to be a tight end.

Mizzou is down 17 to Baylor late in the first half.

 

 

I'm transferring.

Please come to Columbia, Karl Hobbs.

[Butterscup1679666578]

22 at half.

 

 

Really Mizzou?

Really Mizzou?

 

I've really got to stop watching Mizzou basketball on purpose.

[Mizzou]

You guys should just stop caring. The only Mizzou game I've really watched all year was the kU game. I didn't even know they were playing tonight.

[Andy]

Ball State won 67-60 over Buffalo, but the student section, which has been known as The Nest since the beginning of last season, had the lowest turnout I've seen in my time here. Ouch.

[USSoccer]

Whoever Duke's point guard is (Paulus?) is absolutely the worst starter for a top 3 team I've ever seen. He looks about as good as I would out there.

 

JJ Redick is the only good player on that team. It's a miracle they've only lost once.

They've lacked depth for several years now, I doubt they make it past the round of 16 once they lose the officiating edge they seem to enjoy in the regular season.

 

And UNC ties it up.

I'm enjoying this Duke/Carolina game

From one of the biggest Mizzou haters on the planet, Mizzou's basketball program should be given the death penalty for losing by 26 to Baylor. Baylor's season just started over a month ago and that piss-poor coach Quin Snyder continues to show that he has incriminating evidence against Mike Alden. Why else would the AD continue to let this guy coach? I hate Mizzou, but this is ridiculous and why fans don't call for Alden's head is another example of why I think Mizzou fans and the Missouri media are some of the worst in college athletics. I do love that they're are a bad team, but it's almost comical now.

Many people want Alden fired. Have some tact, you know there's several Mizzou fans on here.

Part of the reason they lack depth is because they've lost a bunch of players to early entry, but you can't tell me thee's not some junior that can run that offense better that the kid who looks scared to death running it now.

I disagree. They get an officiating edge in the tourney as well.

 

But that goes with the coach. Indiana got a lot of calls when Knight was the coach, UNC got a lot of calls when Smith was the coach, and Kentucky got a lot of calls when Pitino was the coach.

When was their last early entry? Deng and Jay Williams(who only skipped his senior year IIRC) are the only that I can think of in the last 4 years.

If I offended your university, I apologize, but please tell me where I lack tact. I call them as I see them.

Like I said, consider the audience. After U of I lost to Penn State, it would be "calling them like I see them" to make fun of the fans rushing the court, pointing out how long it's been since Penn St. beat a ranked team(or a conference team on the road), how Dee Brown isn't that great a shooter, etc. But I know there's a lot of Illini fans here, and they were pissed about that loss. Mizzou just got blown out by Baylor, the fans are pissed, and are just waiting out the season until Snyder is fired(no one fires a college coach midseason). Ripping the university(death penalty to the program?), and more importantly it's fans right after the loss is pretty inconsiderate.

Maybe my concept of time is off, and I'm thinking of all the early entries they had from 1999-2002.

Then they really got torn up by early entries. Maggette, Brand, Avery(brilliant choice on his part) all in one year if memory serves.

Wow. Carolina's got some major guts. And Duke's got some major hands around their own throat.

What?! If you read anything I wrote in the Big Ten thread I would agree with anyone who (and I was ripping Brown, Augustine,etc) criticized or made fun of Illinois. It makes little sense to get on a sports message board and not call a spade a spade. Quin Snyder and Mizzou's basketball program is a joke. Just as anyone calling Augustine and Brown leaders is a joke. Using an analogy, I guess it was wrong for some to criticize Hendry, Baker, Patterson, et al for last season's performance, huh?

You could add Shaun Livingston to that list too.

 

Duke definitely is not deep and it will be their downfall in the tournament.

You think a Cardinal fan coming here and trashing the organization at the end of the '04 season would have made friends? No one wants to hear an opposing fan ripping your team after a bad loss, especially non-factual hyperbole like "Mizzou's basketball program should be given the death penalty", and "why fans don't call for Alden's head is another example of why I think Mizzou fans and the Missouri media are some of the worst in college athletics."

Unfortunately, it seems you've fallen into the Mizzou fan trap. You mean to tell me this loss was that much worst than getting blown out at home against Iowa State or losing at home to Colorado? I said pretty much the same thing after those losses. And, no, I'm not as sensitive as others when Cardinal fans make statements like we choke when we did in 2004. Oh, yes, I was using hyperbole when I said Mizzou's b-ball program should be given the death penalthy for losing by 26 to Baylor. Then again, and you wouldn't know this, I said the same things after Illinois' loss to Penn State and Wisconsin's loss to ND State. But then this is your first year at Mizzou, so you haven't been frustrated with the program for the last few years.

JJ Redick is the only good player on that team. It's a miracle they've only lost once.

 

That's completely insane.

 

Shelden Williams is an All-American who averages about 19 and 10 a game. Paulus didn't have a good game tonight, but he's been a pretty solid freshman PG and will be very good. Dockery is a very solid role player as is McRoberts who is also only a freshman and will be a stud.

 

I dislike Duke as much as the next guy and they definitely lack depth. But their starting 5 is very good.
