US defense has been great deflecting shots and possible shots, but they need to GET IN CANADA'S ZONE
-
Man, Ryan Miller was just plain awesome that first period.
-
Cavs lose again. Only 13 back! The comeback is on!
-
he's doing it to get a rise out of everyone, and it's working. Weir's Wikipedia says he refuses to confirm whether he's gay or not, as if anyone is still unsure.
-
Ohno just got screwed getting pushed by that Canadian. Managed to come back and win bronze.
-
Lately, it seems like he's a guy that's always close to getting a double-double every game. For an extremely weak draft class, we should be thrilled that we were able to land him 26th overall. I criticized the pick just as much as anybody else and he's done a fantastic job in making me eat my words. I shredded the Bulls for taking him over DeJuan Blair. Not so dumb after all.
-
How the hell can the judges just arbitrarily advance that Canadian when he was in 3rd when he crashed and only the top two are supposed to move on? That's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.
-
Miracle that they didn't crash. Unfortunately they're pretty much out of the medals because of it.
-
Syracuse missed the tournament once with 10 Big East wins and I believe Penn State or someone else missed the tourney last year with 10 Big Ten wins.
-
i'm not sure that mean anything though. they win most of the time and likely get fouled at the end of those wins. plus 30 over the whole season is like 1.2 a game at this point. I guess so. I'm just bitter. Imagine if ND and Purdue actually played (which I wish they would to boost our OOC RPI). My largely dormant antipathy towards the team would be close to UConn-with-Thabeet levels.
-
For whatever it's worth, Purdue entered today having shot 30 more FT's than their opponents despite shooting 56 more 3's than their opponents and having the single fouling-est defender in possibly the history of basketball on their team.
-
When your own RPI is better and you have fewer losses, I'd say at the very least call it even.
-
So Cuse is better than Purdue in every category except having two fewer wins against the RPI top 25 (Cuse has a home game with Nova left so they can get another one), and they're in a better conference, and Lavin thinks Purdue should get a 1 over them. That's not homerific at all.
-
Oh, look, Kramer fell down. Must be a foul on the other team.
-
Would it be a biased pick or do you like Purdue less than Kentucky, Kansas and all the other possible 1 seeds? Both. The only Big East team that's been mentioned for a 1 that I don't really like is WVU (and that's probably colored by the fact that ND somehow beat them).
-
He's not always as bad as he was tonight. That was some awful basketball by him tonight. He passed up several open guys in order to try to score over 3 guys in the lane as you said. At one point, Kirk put his hands up angry that Deng blatantly ignored him (Deng was looking in his direction before turning around and putting up a contested shot). To his credit, he's probably the teams second best scorer and he's been effective getting shots in the lane lately. And he probably thinks Hinrich can't shoot. Correction: He probably knows damn well that Hinrich can't shoot.
-
Purdue getting a #1 seed would be great for them. Every year I talk myself into having an irrational bias towards a #1 seed (usually it's Memphis, last year it was UConn) and I pick them to be ousted fairly early in my bracket. That #1 seed never, ever, ever, ever gets knocked out early, usually winning at least three games. All this is a long-winded way of saying that Purdue would likely be that team this year if they're seeded 1, thus guaranteeing them a long tournament run.

Change of scenery works
-
Nothing 'sucking' is a fact. A generally-agreed-upon opinion is not a fact.
-
Since when was figure skating all about jumps? I know absolutely nothing about judged figure skating but I know that Lysacek did a fantastic job and the Russian, apart from delivering a completely wooden performance, looked like a broken swivel chair on most of his jumps.
-
Lysacek looks machine-like jumping. You almost can't envision him falling down. The more gold medals for the U.S. the better.
-
Mike, as much as I have no love for Cleveland, I have less love for New York. It's bad enough that "The Raptist" headlines LA, we don't need LBJ headlining NY. I rather LBJ stay in Cleveland and the Bulls have to face him 4 times a year, instead of him going to NY. This is just ridiculous. The less we have to face LeBron, the better.
-
What did I just hear? "The Hottest sport"? Hottest sport on ice. Yeah, no.
-
Lady Gaga to promote ice dancing. Oh, boy.
-
There is no rhyme or reason to whether crappy teams beating better teams in a league is viewed as being the symptom of a good/deep league or not. For whatever reason the Big East usually gets the benefit of the doubt there (not sure they deserve it this year).
