Which is [expletive] since a couple years ago they wouldn't allow two teams from the same conference to play each other again in the title game. But, this year they seem ok with it. Just get a damn tournament already.

I know Chester has to play every minute of every game or Bruce will explode, but for the love of god get the ball out of his hand when we have to drive and get the ball to mccamey. Legion gaining elligibility will help us a ton. Frazier's been about as good as a guy can be without a reliable jump shot this season. His A/TO ratio is something absurd like 7/1. Frazier has not been a problem. Ping, anything further on the Liggins situation? Which is why I said just get the ball out of his hands when the shot clock is running down. I know he has played alright, great with the ball. However, Al Fisher went off on him and Uzoh killed him in the second half yesterday. I know he had a thigh bruise, but the truth of the matter is, at that level, you are always going to be a little banged up. If it is more than that he shouldn't be playing.

Prime is 37-43. Just ask Clemens and Bonds. In 10 years Aram will be raking.

He has better skills in my opinion. The kid doesn't even know how good he is yet, once he does watch out.

The Indiana punishment was lighter because they self reported. If it wasn't lighter no one else would ever self report again. The real issue is the NCAA needs to do a better job of being the one who catches the cheating.

I could go and be sitting front row for free, but I have to work. I hate work.

he hasn't deserved to be embrace yet, though. his game hasn't been good. but as far as doing the other things, he's been golden. I bet if his name was Chris Kramer you would love him, very similar games between the two yet everyone always shits all over Chester. It's not his fault he was put in the situation he was last year, that goes on Bruce and his poor recruiting. umm no Let's see Frazier averaged .8 steals a game last year in 33 minutes while Kramer averaged 2.3 in 29 minutes. Frazier might be a good defender but Kramer is ridiculously good. He not only makes people shoot bad but he gets a lot of steals. Then offensively Frazier is a liability while Kramer is someone who just doesn't shoot much (probably because he works the defense so much). Frazier has never even shot 36% in a season while Kramer's lowest is .430 his freshman year. In other words Kramer can score when needed and when left open Frazier just simply can't. So to sum up Kramer is a better shooter, defender and a much better player all around. He is also the clear team leader. Kramer is just a better athlete. I really like Kramer's game a lot.

The reason Illinois fans dislike Frazier is because he played over McCamey last year. DMac should have been the starter from the word go. But, Weber is always finding a wart with DMacs game, yet missses the third degree burns in Chester's.

Anyone else have league ticket or whatever? I have it for free, I think that Comcast forgot to turn it off from my Extra Innings. It has yet to show up on my bill though. Anyways, the Raptors-Nets game was awesome yesterday. Vince Carter is so good when he is trying and not just phoning it in. Also Devin Harris is still a stud, but any big ten fan could have told you that. Nice trade Dallas. Also anyone else see Marbury getting to dress finally this year? That is a joke. I know he is way overpaid, but there is no way he couldn't play for someone in the league. Hell he could probably start on a few teams. I wonder if he ever looks back on his career and wishes that he would have just stayed in Minnesota with KG? I guess not when you factor in all the money he has made.

The Perfect Fit For The OF

I wouldn't. He really is a head case. The type that if he fails here, which he would he's done, could make Todd Hundley look like a fan favorite. -

He has no range at all anymore. Plus the guy was constantly trying to pick fights with fans and his team all year. Now if you hit like Albert Pujols, that's fine be a jerk. But, when you hit like Jose did last year, maybe you should just shut up, make your 12 Million, and play. -

Guillen actually played left field last year, because Teahan could only handle right. -
I think that's what's really being lost here. Any discussion of Mizzou is shameful. It's technically hate week right now, I don't want to have to go to the football thread and ask you whether you're going to make the Insight Bowl or not. Back to back bowls, baby! You promised me you wouldn't be a .500 team this year.

Agreed. I'm surprised. I had to have last night's game on mute. Vitale is unbearable. Holy crap, nice run by Drago and DC!!!! About time, Darren. Vitale takes away from the game at this point, which is too bad bacause at one point he could call a game. Now he has turned into a schill and caracture of himself. I honestly get so mad at him now when he is trying to give props to the little schools. When the hell does he have time to watch any of them? Afterall he has to do every single Duke or UNC game there is.
-
I loathe Bobby Knight, but the man is so nice to listen to. It's too bad in a half hour he will be replaced by the Duke cheerleader.
-
Oh, I agree. Hence the part about him being a very good player.
-
Drew Gordon is probably going to be a very good player, but man that haircut is ridiculous.
-
You play like 4 frosh. These games are only going to make you better. I would want no part of you come March.
-
Yep Manny Harris already has two fouls on him, he just doesn't know it yet.

Bastard. Where? Bruins message board, must be registered and they have a Flash Chat sort of deal that streams the video. I take it you both are at work, since this baby is on ESPN2 Yeah, it's only 2:50 out here. Second straight day with a poor finish to the half. Thank goodness SIU is just as bad at free throws but they're getting far too many open looks for 3. Meh. Jrue Holliday needs to be more aggresive. Once he starts playing more agrresively your team will be better. He has the most talent on the court.

Speak for yourself. Anyone knows how to work ESPN 360? It appears as though my Internet provider doesn't allow access to it... This is why I was listening to Illinois on the radio last night. Not all ISPs carry 360, it's a ISP by ISP basis. I searched most of the game looking for a stream and found nothing. Yeah I couldn't get the game last night, but my parents did. They live about a mile and a half from me. But, tonight my cable provider has the Illinois-Vandy game on.

And body of work my ass, I spend so much time arguing against the SEC because of people like Hosak and RedFlash who feel Sylvester Croom is at worst the 12th best coach in college football. Was that question about which conference was worse really that hateful? This was coming from a guy who thought the Big Ten was as awful as its ever been heading into this season. I have all of 4 Big Ten teams making the tourney. Don't you know we should just sit back and take it when the talking heads at ESPN slam our conference? It has nothing to do with the fact that we have our own network and thus ESPN can't sign us to a contract deal so they feel no need to pump us up as we will never be on one of their Big Monday or ACC Wednesday lineups. I just find it laughable that everyone gets in on ripping on our conference, but then is suprised when we get proud when we do better than expected. Especially when I am on a board full of Cubs' fans.
