BBB already showed that Theriot is worse, but even if he weren't, Pie's particular weakness in approach has a larger chance of getting exploited by hitting 8th. With his ability/potential, it doesn't make sense to put him there.
Those pictures tell a different story, but in real time and on the replay it was hard to tell if Shipp got any of Sloan's arm on the shot. I think it's hard to blame the officials on that one, especially since the aTm gameplan appeared to be "dribble at the basket and shoot without any sense of a plan".
Duke : College Basketball :: Italy : Soccer Plenty of people like them despite having no connection to them, and they gain a sizable advantage by falling down all the time instead of playing the game.
My "San Diego to the Sweet 16" pick is looking alright right now. Up 6 on UConn with Price seemingly out, and the 12 seed won the other half of that pair of games.
American up 4 on Tennessee at the under 12 timeout. They can really shoot it from 3, so they might be able to put a scare into the Vols. EDIT: They're also hammering Tennessee on the boards, wow.
I can't believe Purdue shot that well and Baylor shot that poorly. Arizona and Wazzou are the two Sweet 16 teams I have that could face trouble tonight.
