  1. Brey wins Coach of the Year and Hansbrough wins Player of the Year. 3rd time in 5 years that Brey gets Coach of the Year, which basically means he had the most underrated team in the preseason 3 times.
  2. Marquette's win probably puts them in, but beating WV tomorrow would make them a lock IMO.
  3. How does Kemba not win that award? I know Ben has been good, but Kemba is it for UConn. His scoring efficiency has been pretty atrocious in the Big East season, and if the end of our game with them was an indication, it's because he absolutely refuses to pass the ball half the time. In short, he's it for UConn because he makes sure that he's it for UConn. Also, they finished in 9th place.
  4. It's ironic that the year I couldn't care less about individual awards for Notre Dame - I'm enjoying the team success too much - they have a good shot at cleaning up. Ben Hansbrough was the only unanimous first team all-Big East selection, which seems to be a dead giveaway that he's going to win Player of the Year. Mike Brey is probably going to win Coach of the Year for the 3rd time. I'd trade both those things if I could be guaranteed two wins in the conference tourney, no questions asked.
  5. Leaving out ND since I'm a rep, I'd go with OSU, KU, Pitt and Duke as my top 4, with BYU, Purdue, Texas and Wisconsin the next 4. After that in some order are Syracuse, SDSU, Georgetown and UNC.
  6. I'll take my Panthers I suppose.
  7. Duke was 8-8 in the ACC in 07? How the blue hell did they get a 6 seed that year?
  8. At the risk of sounding like a giant homer, it seems to me that there are 6 teams left with a shot at a 1 seed. Ohio State, KU, Pitt and Duke are probably the 1s right now in that order. And the other two in contention are Notre Dame and Texas pending the results of conference tourneys. ND could get a 1 but it would probably take a Big East tournament title unless Duke or Pitt craps out early. Texas I feel is a long shot, but still in the discussion if they win the Big 12 tourney. Purdue could be included as a super-long shot but after that brutal loss I'd think mass carnage in the conference tourneys for the other potential 1s would be the only way they get in. Thoughts? BYU or SDSU still in the discussion for a 1 and I'm not giving them enough credit?
  9. Kemba Walker is a tremendous player, but he simply will not let anyone else win the game. He got them the lead, and then he blew it. ND goes 14-4 in the league and can win the Big East if Pitt goes down - which is unlikely, but who knows.
  10. As opposed to the awesome weeks 15 and 16 right now where the good teams totally don't do that! There will be more games like that now, though. Ironic considering Goodell practically crapped a brick trying to stop that from happening by hastily shoving all division games in Week 17.
  11. He has the Titans taking Patrick Peterson at 8. No way he falls that far, but I cannot express how happy I'd be on draft day if the Titans got Peterson. So they're completely giving up on Claussen already? I can see us getting a QB but I'd still be rather surprised if it's Newton. I'm hearing that Ron Rivera likes him but I haven't heard any mention of him meeting with the team at the combine or anywhere else.
  12. Shockey, Steve Smith and Cam Newton. What could possibly go wrong???
  13. C, A, B and G in that order would be my #1 seeds. And if Team D is San Diego State, which I believe they are, I'm pretty sure they aren't in consideration for a 1 seed. And I think Team A is BYU, and they're probably out too after tonight.
  14. Also, the latest Lunardi bracket, which has ND facing the winner of Mason and Mich St in round 2, is pretty terrifying. I don't want any part of either of those teams, especially MSU, in the dance.
  15. Thanks Tim McCarver less than two weeks ago they were routed by West Virginia... I'm not going to tell you ND is going to make a deep run, because I have no idea, but you keep referring to these ND losses by 12 or 14 points as 'routs', and I have to wonder what your standard is for a rout. That game wasn't decided until about 4 minutes were left. Also, Tim Higgins and Co. officiated that WVU game like a football game. No tournament refs - I hope - are going to be calling games like the steel cage matches that occur in Morgantown. Anyway, that game was fun, though I wish we could have saved that shooting for @UConn on Saturday with possibly the Big East title on the line.
  16. I'll be in for Notre Dame.
  17. Man, Maddux looks like he's really enjoying being able to eat whatever he wants now.
  18. Our mock selections have gotten better and better and consistently outdo all the pros. I think we should go ahead with it.
  19. Man, every time I say anything about college basketball it's like the college hoops world demands I get egg thrown on my face within 24 hours. I for one welcome our new college basketball overlords. Enjoy the 1 seed, Purdue.
  20. I hope Purdue can be the top #2 seed and be in BYU's bracket. A win at MSU tomorrow would help. Purdue doesn't have to be the top 2 to be in BYU's bracket, but I'd guess they have plenty of work to do for that spot. They're in a cluster of 3 or 4 teams for the last couple of 2 seeds at the moment.
  21. This is all why ND needs to wake up and take care of Seton Hall in the 2nd half. There is ground to be made up in the NCAA seeding race. This year's tournament is going to be crazy.
  22. What? Cam Newton might have known about this? Unpossible!
  23. It is the worst single-game shooting performance in the NBA since 1973.
  24. Big East record for a regular-season game, ND record for most points surrendered. Thank God they can't play defense.
  25. Gil Brandt, former Cowboys personnel guy, says he'd be surprised if Cam Newton wasn't the first overall pick. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/22/gil-brandt-would-be-shocked-if-cam-newton-isnt-taken-first-overall/ He'd better have been traded for if that's the case. Newton is no JaMarcus Russell, but he's not anyone I'm enthused for in the pros.
