MSU down 24-12 to Oakland w/ 11 to go in the 1st. Guess that's what happens when you lose your leader in points, rebounds, and assists.

edit: it was 34-19 a couple minutes ago, but a few transition buckets and a 3 get it to 34-28.

edit 2: Oakland hot from deep, 40-32. I don't know who I'm talking to with these edits.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Yeah.... I wonder if a new AD has had to hire a football, basketball, and baseball coach i the same academic year.

Because I think the basketball coach has to be on his way out. Recruits pretty well when he isn't caught cheating. But can't coach for shit. Just no development and constantly losing to teams we should not be losing to.

And I know this isn't a baseball thread, but we basically have the same issues as basketball there too.

there's no excuse to be losing this

 

[inm8num2]

It's the turnovers. No rhythm in the offense and no chemistry with the ball handling. Definitely missing Valentine's leadership.

Based on talent and coaching MSU shouldn't be losing, but gotta give all the credit to Oakland for hitting big shots and forcing all the turnovers w/ aggressive defense.

edit - overtime, LOL @ all those fouls

 

[reKon]

yeah the refs were stupid in this one

We need a Little Rock vs Monmouth matchup now

Does UALR also have a bench of comedians like Monmouth?

It shouldn't be hard to create some routines.

 

[Malleymal]

Just listened to Gary Parrish and Scott Norlander discuss/argue about whether or not Monmouth should be ranked.

http://www.cbssports.com/collegebas...-valentines-knee-injury-affect-michigan-state

If you don't feel like listening Norlander says you should be ranked and Parish keeps calling all Scott's reason stupid even though he says he's not against your being ranked.

I will have to listen to this. We received 6 votes, which was around he number we received a couple of weeks back after the advocare tourney with notre dame and USC wins. But we laid a dud against canisius. Should be interesting going forward.

And yea Rutgers isn't happy that we beat them in a couple of sports.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

We went a whole UK-UL game without a single post?

Wow, NCAAB-GAF is dead

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

I want UK in March.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Poor Elon. Duke has 55 with six minutes left in the first half.

Now 58 with 5:45 left.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Duke on pace for an easy 160

 

[Proelite]

This Duke team is better on offense and defense now that Okafor is no longer playing.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

I feel like "some good news today, he did get the cast off but is still in a walking boot" is a comment that's made about a Duke player every year.

Last year being the one outlier.

Didn't half the team have sprained ankles at one point?

4 sprains = 1 break

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Come to think of it, you're right.

Time to switch to Reebok.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Speaking of breaks, Cam Ridley for UT broke his foot. He has been our most reliable guy this year so it hurts us for sure. His backup Shaq Cleare is undersized ( height wise, not weight wise ) and pretty inefficient as a Center. There's a chance he'll be back by March so if we sneak into the tournament he may be back in time to play, but we may not be dancing anyway so its moot

So where's the gif of Pitino getting salty?

 

[DominoKid]

is it conference play yet?

im so ready to see UNC play some games that matter. need to feel that real stress that dont come from non-conference play.

 

[inm8num2]

Iowa fired up. 31-17 over MSU in the 1st.

 

[Karl2177]

Hopefully they can keep it going. An Iowa win helps our case.

 

[inm8num2]

MSU looks very rough without Valentine. Absolutely no rhythm on offense. Can't see them coming back in this one.

Hell, they would have lost to Oakland last week had it not been for Forbes hitting something like seven 3-pointers.

 

[Karl2177]

Looks like court storming is just a state of Iowa thing.

 

[inm8num2]

Congrats, Hawkeyes.

 

[Proelite]

Duke needed to save some of the 70 points from last game's first half for today.

Duke's playing a game? What the crap, it's working hours!

 

[Brian Fellows]

I had the same problem with Michigan. This is the one week all year I'm on days and would be home to watch a night game live. So of course the B1G schedules our game for 2PM. Then I got off early and could have made it to BWW for the second half but NOPE flat tire in the parking lot. Got to see the last 80 seconds is all.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

I'd complain about Duke almost giving up 80 points to no-names in Cameron, but...nah, don't really feel like it.

The ACC sked with no Amile will be interesting.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Good game, Fellows. I hope this season is rock bottom for us, because if it isn't I don't know what is?

 

[Brian Fellows]

It'd be hard to imagine a team with more bad luck than you guys have had this year. Thorne alone really changes the complexion of todays game not to mention Black and Abrams(or Lewis who has been getting better).

 

[Shrennin]

UVA killing Oakland right now.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Clemson might as well get that bus cranked up.

These cats (no pun intended) didn't even wait until late in the second half to start choking in Chapel Hill again.

58-0 on deck

 

[DominoKid]

The streak will never die

 

[clav]

All right. Who's ready for basketball?

Will Northwestern finally enter the NCAA tournament this year?

Dererk Pardon played well in his first game.

 

[Brian Fellows]

No Levert for Michigan today and Derrick Walton has had the worst start of any UM PG in recent memory and we're still up 2 on PSU. I'll take it.

 

[DominoKid]

damn Brice just had a mean putback dunk out of nowhere

 

[Brian Fellows]

It's raining 3's in Ann Arbor.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

It's raining 3's in Ann Arbor.

That dern el niño , I tell you.

 

[DominoKid]

GT giving us that work cause Roy still got us collapsing on drives smfh

 

[Fjordson]

Whew UK coming out firing for conference play.

This is a weird team though, not sure the pieces fit. Our three guard lineup is pretty dope with Poythress as a small ball 4, but Poy can be really inconsistent. And I figured Skal Labissiere would be our best player, but he's been pretty shitty thus far.

 

[Servbot24]

Iowa comes back from 19 down @ Purdue to win. So proud :')

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

Maryland finally coming out strong to start a game.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Iowa comes back from 19 down @ Purdue to win. So proud :')

And now we have to go to West Lafayette to face a pissed off Purdue next. Thanks a lot!

 

[perfectchaos007]

It would be hilarious if post season ineligible SMU finishes the season undefeated, and then some ~ 5 loss team goes on hot streak to win the NCAA tournament. SMU could get the AP national championship lol

 

[DominoKid]

god fucking damn every game we let some dude bust us for 5+ 3s.

and it's not like this dude is out the blue with it cause he did it last fucking year.

 

[DominoKid]

Brice is fucking snapping my god. 30 and 16 with 10 minutes left. Hitting FSU with everything.
Meeks might need to find the bench when he come back.

 

[Fjordson]

Wow @ Brice Johnson's stat line. Beast.

 

[Bowser]

Brice Johnson just put up the first 30/20 game in CAROLINA HISTORY.

Not only that, he annihilated it with 39/23 (plus 3 steals and 3 blocks). He fucking could have gone for 40/25 if not for a couple missed FTs and a few boards that bounced wrong.

Wow.

edit: apparently the first one in UNC history stat is wrong:

Turner Walston ‏@TurnerWalston 16m16 minutes ago
That’s not quite true. B. Cunningham had 48 and 25 against Tulane on 12/10/1964.
