cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2008 Yeah, now they can run the table in the regular season, be undefeated and the top overall seed....and lose in the Elite 8 once again. Don't mind me though, Bob. I'm just bitter that my guys blew a 14 point lead to SETON HALL tonight and lost. U of L should have just stayed in C-USA, I swear. At least there are plenty of jobbers to squash there, even if it does nothing to get someone ready for the tourney. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted January 21, 2008 That was a good game yesterday, I watched it before going to see the US take on Sweden at the Home Depot Center.

alfdogg 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2008 USC's Mayo may have violated NCAA rule by accepting free NBA tickets LOS ANGELES -- Southern California freshman standout O.J. Mayo might have violated an NCAA rule by accepting free tickets to Monday night's NBA game between Denver and the Los Angeles Lakers from Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony. Mayo told reporters Tuesday he had received the tickets, which were located behind courtside seats near mid-court at Staples Center and had a face value of $230 each. "We don't know the specifics of the situation and won't be able to comment," NCAA spokesman Erik Christianson said Wednesday in an e-mail to The Associated Press. USC sports information director Tim Tessalone declined comment on behalf of the university. NCAA bylaw 16.11.2.2.3 states that student-athletes may not receive "free or reduced-cost admission to professional athletics contests from professional sports organizations, unless such services also are available to the student body in general." The NCAA could consider Anthony a friend who gave Mayo the tickets rather than a representative of the Nuggets, perhaps making the matter legal by NCAA standards. Mayo, averaging a team-leading 19.7 points and 4.6 rebounds, said Anthony made the offer of tickets at a party he hosted Sunday night. "I was talking to him like, `Man, you're out pretty late. You've got a game tomorrow night against Kobe [bryant],"' Mayo said. "He said, `Nah, it will be all right.' And then he asked, `You want to come to the game?' And I was like, 'Sure.' " Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2008 I was hoping WVU could pull that one out against Georgetown since that would move U of L into a 1st place tie at 5-2.

Bored 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2008 By matter of attrition Stanford jumped to #14 to both polls this week and that officially makes them overrated. They have no non-conference or road wins against anyone currently in the RPI Top 50 and with a home win against Arizona being their only win against the RPI Top 25. I much preferred them being on the outer edges of the Top 25 where they've been most of the year but enough teams in front of them have been losing the last couple of weeks. They can justify their ranking if they sweep the Washington schools on the road but I'll be happy with a split. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2008 What's the scoop on Kenneth George from UNC-Asheville? Does he have any shot at all in the league? Well I graduated from UNCA in '06 and I remember he didn't get much PT at the time because he was really bit by the injury bug for a couple of seasons, IIRC. It's obvious that when you're that big, carrying that much weight on your hips and knees can cause a lot of stress. I guess there is a possibility someone in the league would take a chance on him, but he can't run the floor so he would have a much harder time keeping up in the NBA, though he didn't do too bad against a run team like Carolina. I don't know, I think there are a lot more questions about him than answers, we'll see how he finishes out the year. On a similar note, yes this dude is that big, but he doesn't attract as much attention as you'd think. Really quiet and laid back, ALWAYS had some headphones on; if he wasn't 7 foot freaking 7, that would probably be his trademark, "that dude who always has the headphones on."
