isn't that like tOSU fans being excited for basketball?

No because we're actually good at that too.


Nice rebound by the bucks after a sluggish start.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Illini turning it over a lot and not closing out on shooters. Up by 2.

we got this!

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Kelly, you're the big guy who doesn't get in foul trouble. Remember that.

 

[bucknuticus]

Duke looks very sluggish this game, especially on the boards.

 

[truly101]

Duke playing like they have no fucks to give

 

[truly101]

No Buford or Sully and Duke still has no fucking clue how to run an inside out. Just not enough real talent on this team yet.

 

[bucknuticus]

Our bigs suck ass, idk how we're doing so well on the boards.

 

[bucknuticus]

This game has a really weird rhythm

 

[truly101]

I guess a 3 day tourney right before this was a bad idea. Duke couldn't rebound if their lives depended on it and they don't look like they give a shit.

 

[truly101]

This team plays like a bunch of chickenshits sometimes.

 

[bucknuticus]

Keeping duke in this game with our fouls, should be up by about 14 without all of them.

 

[Elfforkusu]

It always depresses me how small the CBB contingent is here on GAF. Compared to the CFB thread it's a ghost town.

:jnc, GA Tech just banked in a 3 from the corner.

 

[truly101]

K seems content to let them play like pansies I guess. No time outs, no fire. Who cares if OSU blows you out at home, its just November.

 

[truly101]

I'm not expecting to win this game now, but if this team can't come out second half and at least fight and try to get back in it then I hope they crash and burn like last year. Maybe we'll job to a SoCon team in the tourney.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Wow. Curry's playing like dogshit.

 

[bucknuticus]

I'll take a 8 point lead on the road with our team in foul trouble early and our best player on the bench the majority of the half.

 

[truly101]

A technical, for what? DUR BUT DOOK GETS AW DE CAWS DERP DERP DERP.

Relax, we won't shoot this poorly in the second half. We should be able to make a run. I can't believe how awful we've been from behind the 3-pt line so far this year.

Finally started boxing out towards the en of the half. Our rebounding has been embarrassing.

Its not the win/loss, its the effort. Most of this team doesn't seem to give two shits that tOSU embarrassed them last year. They are playing great defense to be fair, but our players don't seem to be trying much of anything useful.

Effort = z minus

 

[Cousteau]

OSU should be up 15. Duke looks like they just got outta bed.

 

[truly101]

OSU should be up 15. Duke looks like they just got outta bed.

5 games in 7 days will do that I guess, especially 3 in a row.


I blame Greg Paulus

 

[Cousteau]

Really dumb scheduling then on Dukes part.

Regardless, OSU looks to be the better team.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Man, so many weak takes by the Illini. Blocked shots everywhere! I know Ga Tech is athletic and we lack size

Spoiler

Screw you Bruce Weber!

, but c'mon man

Basically BP3 and JOEBERT are our two guys that can do anything.

Speaking of

e2: Holy crap, Bertrand from everywhere!

 

[DominoKid]

mason saved that alley oop pass from landing in the fifth row lmao

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Joe B you beautiful sunofabitch

 

[Fjordson]

Players like Cook are the worst. One good play (pass was pretty bad really) and he's wagging his tongue like he's the shit. Gross.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Holy balls, Joe Bertrand is amazing

e: Seriously, that play was one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen. He jumped from the FT line! Over a dude!

Ow, that Ga Tech dude's knee bent the wrong way.

 

[Cousteau]

OSU has shot some real ugly shots.Like pure cement bricks.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Players like Cook are the worst. One good play

You know how some players will dunk and then stand under the basket and yell as if they haven't dunked 1000 times in their life?

Last year, someone for Duke dunked, and Cook stood under the basket and yelled as if the guy hadn't dunked 1000 times in his life.

 

[Fjordson]

Yeah, shit is just annoying. He's a good player, no reason to do that.

 

[DominoKid]

Dominokidordson;44865800]Players like Cook are the worst. One good play (pass was pretty bad really) and he's wagging his tongue like he's the shit. Gross.[/QUOTE]

He's so annoying to watch.

 

[Fjordson]

Ryan Kelly is pretty damn solid. Nice shooter, but also on defense. Didn't realize he was as good as he is before these last few games.

 

[bucknuticus]

Stopping rushing shots!!!!

 

[Deleted member 12837]

Jesus, has Thomas missed yet? Dude is insane.

 

[DominoKid]

Jesus, has Thomas missed yet? Dude is insane.

A ton it seems like.

 

[jakncoke]

wow

 

[bucknuticus]

Rushed shots going to lose us this game

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Up to OSU to win the challenge, and it doesn't look like they're up for it.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Ok, so it was probably a charge. Still:

 

[Deleted member 12837]

He picked a good time to start ; )

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Ok, so it was probably a charge. Still:

Was about to post it. Ridiculous.

 

[Fjordson]

Ok, so it was probably a charge. Still:

Fuckin' hell, what a shot.

 

[jakncoke]

Ok, so it was probably a charge. Still:

He like smell deez nuts and tell me how you like em

 

[truly101]

Cook's got a little bit of asshole in him, but honestly all our decent pgs did. I'm not excusing it, but I think you need some swagger and arrogance to run PG at Duke.

 

[Mac the KNife]

nevermind.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Waitaminute, is that score correct? Duke got 2pts for that held/jump ball?

No.

 

[Mac the KNife]

No.

My roommate needs glasses.

When he's as good as the last #2, he can do it.

 

[truly101]

When he's as good as the last #2, he can do it.

yeah well... Nolan was the perfect blend of swag and cool. I don't think he ever tried to mock anyone or hurt their feelings...cept Dexter Strickland.

 

[jayhawker]

I'm not sure Craft going 1 on 1 for the rest of the game is going to end well for tOSU.
