What a joke. They called that a F1 on Selden when he did it to smart.

If that's not a flagrant 1 I'll be pissed.

good Lord, does your team attempt 2pt shots?

just beat OSU

I know we don't have Embiid, but man, this team really lays some stinkers. We will lose earlier in the tournament than most people predict. That said, Wiggins is awesome today.

The announcers of the KU game keep talking about how solid Texas Tech is and how impressive it is that KU is blowing them out. I started to get stoked. They must be better than I remembered! Nope, they're 13-16, 5-11 in conference.

Is Virginia the most underrated team in the country?

i was listening to a podcast or maybe just the radio? a little while ago and they were basically saying MSU's messed up their next few seasons fooling around with Chicago (J Parker, C Alexander), saying area kids just want to get paid, either directly (UK) or indirectly (KU, Duke?) and UM has been better served abandoning that avenue altogether since dabbling with Patrick Beverley forever ago lol, that's such sour grapes. Every fan base does it when they don't get the kids they want. Oddly enough, no one ever can produce any actual evidence. And the idea that any school is "directly" paying anyone is lunacy. I don't deny that there's all sorts of dirty stuff happening everywhere, in every program. But no program is dumb enough to "directly" pay a player. UK has to pay kids least of all. Nothing's cooler than going to Kentucky. And ever since LeBron and co banded together in Miami, forming dream teams is pretty popular too. ?? All of college sports is pretty dirty. I'm inclined to believe there's a lot more academic fraud on behalf of student athletes (like what happened at UNC) than there is huge sums of money exchanging hands. That's not to say there isn't some of that, too. And I'm sure star athletes get a lot of free stuff in their day-to-day lives that would clearly constitute impermissable benefits. But families getting huge checks a la Reggie Bush or what Cam Newton was accused of getting--in my opinion--is much more rare. It's just too risky. But I could be wrong. I certainly don't have any evidence to support this theory.

And ever since LeBron and co banded together in Miami, forming dream teams is pretty popular too. to be perfectly honest, i wasn't entirely sure what that meant since the guy only briefly mentioned it off-the-cuff; i had mostly just assumed it meant screwing around for a year at a high-profile program and jumping ship it wouldn't be sour grapes though, this was coming from a UM perspective crowing about MSU's uninspiring near-future it may be in UM's best interest to avoid recruiting Chicago. But that's more because a lot of big name programs spend a lot of time there. Duke has been in Chicago forever. UK, KU. I feel like Indiana has a presence there, though I could be wrong. Then you have the "hometown" schools like Illinois. It's a crowded area. It makes it hard to land recruits, especially when other programs have entrenched relationships. The "paying players off" thing is such a cop out.

He can be patient zero for the next bubonic plague for all I care, as long as his reanimated corpse can continue to coach the team.

I don't think he's even visited us. UK or UI, right?

Man, we just look flat and terrible. Polar opposite of the Texas game.

yeah. I like Izzo a lot as a coach, but he does cross a line sometimes that makes me cringe. I don't think he is the only big time coach that probably gets handled differently by the officials, but I do not ever think its right. No one has earned the right to come on the court during play. http://cdn2.mocksession.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/COACH-CAL-SHOVE.gif

Wow, we actually played a little defense. Hopefully Self can get that every game moving forward.

man did we ever deserve to lose that game. This KU team has second round exit written all over it.

I'm sorry, but KU isn't very good. Just a terrible defensive team.

i'm going! not feeling good about it. You should...ISU by multiple possessions. Texas is very big. ISU needs to be hot from outside, imo.

I know you can't really blame it on Drew, but that inbounds play at the end of regulation was full of lulz. Also: If Marcus Smart still makes 1st team Big 12 after everything that's happened this season, I'll be pissed. Especially when there are other very deserving players at his position like Kane, Staten, and that Fr from Texas. Also: Please beat Texas tonight.

Can we just quit pretending there are any clean programs?

it's like we've never seen a pick and roll

it's still murder ball. But they're playing way tougher than us. And they're actually running some semblance of an offense.

That Hogue dude looked like Liu Kang from Mortal Kombat, kicking Noreen in the chest.

Kudos to his teammates at Mizzou for supporting him.
