The ONE and Only College Basketball...

Recommended Posts

Well MIGHTY...

 

My UConn is number 1 and is up by 3 with 8:34 left.

I thought that game was on Saturday. Oh well.....I don't really follow basketball like I do football.

*edit*

Ah it isn't until Saturday.......

Providence got dicked on that last-second shot, by the way. As I heard someone on some ESPn show say, the clock should get priority because the clock has always been there. Even when there was a peach basket, there was a clock. F*** the horn or the light behind the backboard.

 

There's a column on ESPN.com today about how much the Big Ten sucks. I can't recall the correct number, but they're like 4-14 or something against the other major conferences (Big 12, ACC, SEC, Big East)

Big 10 is the worst it's been in years. Wisconsin, and Illinois are probably the only two legit Top 25 programs.

 

Indiana's embarassingly bad. 3 loses of more than 30 points. Minnesota struggles against bad teams at home. Michigan St. dug themselves in a hole pretty deep. Although considering how bad the conference is 11-5 isn't out the realm of possibility.

Well you're lucky that it happened during regular season play and didn't occur during the Final Four or something.

No one will care but...WOO HOO STANFORD WHOOPED ARIZONA'S ASS! A Lute Olsen coached Arizona team had never lost three in a row to the same opponent at home and now they've lost four years in a row to Stanford. 13-0 baby!

Damaramu, how bout your OU playing against my UConn?

 

They are playing really well....

I'm watching the Eagles/Packers game actually.....I don't get into college basketball generally until March Madness. But I'll give it a look.

UConn is that damn good.

They were a great team no doubt.....but I don't think OU is that great of a team.

I remember comparing them playing to a top ranked team and I knew it was a matter of time before they're knocked off.

UConn has gotten so much better than the beginning of the season.

 

Calhoun is finally using his bench and Okafor just can't be stopped. They are mad quick and are great at passing the ball.

 

Sadly, the last team to start the season #1 and win the National Championship is Kentucky in 1996 and that was a good team.

ACC is such kickass conference. Exciting high scoring games. Take note horseshit Big 10. It's not like the ACC doesn't own your asses every year.

 

One thing Williams needs to do is get that guy who shoots only 41% from the line out of the game late.

Let's not get carried away here with UConn. I mean the same week they killed OU they beat Rutgers by 1. I dare say UNC might take them out this weekend. Combine that with Wake likely laying down at Cameron and we have the national nightmare.....

 

Duke at #1.

 

As far as UK goes, I think U of L completely exposed all of their weaknesses. It's just a matter of time before someone in the SEC capitalizes (Miss St. basically did but gave up the garbage basket). UK's probably the weakest team in the top 5 right now, well, until St. Joes gets into it.

 

Watch out for the U of L/Cincy game next Wednesday. We should be able to take them here at the Hall, but if Cincy comes out with the win you can just book them for San Antonio right now.

You have a guaranteed bid if you win your conference.

 

...

 

Oklahoma...win...conference...

 

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

They won it the past 4 years, you act as if they've never done it.........but this year.......*shudders*.....man our basketball team sucks.

 

And if that's a jab at football BPS.....give it a rest.....the season's over and you do realize that OU won the Big XII in 2000 and 2002. You make it sound like they've never won the confrence in any sport.

 

I read a whiny article in today's school paper about how no students will come to an OU basketball game and all that the student body cares about is football. Then they complained that we don't show enough emotion at games and blah blah blah.

Well it's kind of hard when you're already a football state and your football team goes around winning all the damn time, going to national championships and bowl games. Winning a bowl(with the exception of this year) in 2000,2001,2002 and then winning a National Championship in 2000.

People are spoiled by the football team being so good and when the basketball team doesn't achieve the same thing they lose there interest. It's a knee jerk reaction.

 

Do I think like that? No. I just don't like our basketball games because they bore the hell out of me. I could care less if they were winning national titles......maybe if they incorporated some excitement in there.

If you think about it, winning or loosing right now really means nothing at all. If a team is number 1, who gives a shit. It all matters once the conference tournies start and then the 64 tourney starts.

Yeah that's what I'm asking. Aside from winning the conference how else do you get into the 64 Tournament?

I mean OU's won the conference for the past 4 years but they've been in the tournament for the past 9.
