2GOLD 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2009 The sad thing is if ETSU had actually worked together and PASSED THE BALL a few times down the floor, that game might have been real close at the end. Pitt was making stupid turnovers and not boxing out so they left the door wide open. Reminded of that Duke/Delaware State game where DSU couldn't make a lay-up to save their lives. Bob Huggins failing to win in the tournament doesn't surprise me. Not a bit. His teams just seem to give up and phone in the tournaments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hitler Cubano 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2009 This might be the only time I can say this without lying, but my school is winning a game on a national stage right now. Awesome. Also, I've played basketball with/against three of the guys on the PSU team. Phil Nelson and Mark Coston were both in my basketball class last year (I think I had a thread bitching about having two 6'7" guys here) and Jeremiah Dominguez, who's like my height. If he was a foot taller, he'd probably be an NBA level talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2009 I remember Dominguez was a local star while in high school, grabbing the front page of the sports section multiple times a week. He wasn't recruited by any major school, as far as I can remember, due to his height. I don't know, he looks really good right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hitler Cubano 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2009 Dominguez was playing for University of Portland his first year or something, but has since transferred to PSU, as did a couple other guys on the Vikings squad. Phil Nelson was another of those guys, he came from U-Dub. He's also kind of an idiot meathead type. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hitler Cubano 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2009 Well, it was nice to be in the tournament again. Still looking forward to that first win. Take Czech's YMCA comment and apply it quite literally to PSU, actually- these guys, or at least certainly the bench, are just a bunch of rec league type players that are just bodies for fouls. PSU's way undersized and doesn't play defense. They have a couple really good guys who are leaving this year (Dominguez is one of them) but hopefully getting into the NCAA Tournament two years in a row will get some good players for the future.

Mike wanna be 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2009 Bahaha, guy got his John 3:16 sign jacked by security just as he was about to strategically get it on TV. Right behind the Siena bench, security just reaches over and not-so-subtly snatches it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2009 Now why exactly was a #8 seed in Ohio State given such a favorable pod placement? It sounds like a Buckeyes home game in Dayton. Wisconsin/FSU also heading to overtime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
