So ESPN has their final 4 predictions up and champs, Seth Greenberg picked sparty....

Look I like Izzo, hes a good coach, but sparty aint winning it this year.

Bump

 

[alstein]

That is a really good question, and I have no idea. I would probably nervous if I wasn't completely ignorant about Maryland. I think they lost their top scorer from last year, but they have some good veterans and a good big man?

Come on ACC fans... give up the goods!

They're considered a bit of a wild card. Probably below the Triangle Schools+FSU, but good enough to make tourney.

Likely NIT team, potential NCAA bubble team.

 

[truly101]

We look pretty meh tonight. Cook isn't quite on point yet and robocop hasn't even gotten off the bench. Concerned.

 

[alstein]

NCSU did alright in their first game. Little worried about the bench/depth, though TDT had some great garbage time shooting.

 

[TheNatural]

Maryland is horrible.

 

[ErasureAcer]

44-14 Minnesota is up at the half. Started with a 15-0 run. American University isn't very good.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Michigan hasn't played well. Up 14 at the half. Jon Horford has looked good in his first game though.

Bucknell knocked off Purdue earlier 70-65.

Sounds like a tough day for the B1G

 

[Enfinit]

Are we that bad or is South Alabama good?

 

[Meier]

FSU loses to South Alabama 76-71. A great start to the season. Way to show the pollsters we deserve to be ranked..

 

[pxleyes]

FSLOL

 

[Pollux]

I'm sorry and I can't put my finger on it, but those Maryland uniforms disgust me for some reason.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Predicted to finish second behind Middle Tennessee in the Sunbelt.

 

[Enfinit]

Predicted to finish second behind Middle Tennessee in the Sunbelt.

Except that South Alabama is in the SWAC.

 

[McNei1y]

Our shooting is shit. Step it up in the 2nd terps!

 

[anotherVegan]

Go Gators!

Anyone got a picture of the aircraft carrier setup that they are on?

Spoiler

LOL FSU

Not according to Fox Sports and Yahoo.

Jokes, my friend. Poor ones at that.

 

[Fjordson]

Fucking garbage officiating. So many breaks for Maryland.

 

[DominoKid]

Mcadoo balled, but I wouldnt put much stock in it. Gardner Webb is so undersized.

3 point shooting was godawful, but whats new. Paige struggled and our shotblocking will not be a threat.

Fucking ugh.

 

[Cousteau]

On a boat.

 

[Brian Fellows]

My premium BTN feed switched to the damned Iowa game.

 

[TheNatural]

Fucking garbage officiating. So many breaks for Maryland.

Yup that 1-15 from three stat shows they have the lucky rabbit foot on hand.

 

[Fjordson]

Well, that's not something the refs can control. The four no calls on Len and the guards hanging on our big men on every loose ball have been some sweet gifts.

Not that we don't deserve to lose if we do. Playing pretty terribly in this second half.

 

[Crisco]

NCSU did alright in their first game. Little worried about the bench/depth, though TDT had some great garbage time shooting.

Are you kidding me? That was about the best we could have possibly expected in our first game. I am still fully erect.

 

[DominoKid]

aaaaaaaaaand Shabazz is ruled ineligible.

surprise surprise.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Longhorns squeak one out against Fresno St. 55-53

Our offense sucks.

 

[jakncoke]

make this happen terps

 

[TheNatural]

LOL I can't believe Maryland came all the way back.

 

[Amory]

Daaaaamn look at the Terps! A UConn win and a Kentucky loss would make this a good night indeed.

 

[jakncoke]

Noel really doesnt do much on offense does he?

edit; rim blocked

 

[TheNatural]

Nope. The guy's rating has been completely off blocking shots and being tall. He's no Anthony Davis.

 

[cashman]

Longhorns squeak one out against Fresno St. 55-53

Our offense sucks.

Missing Kabongo, and they had like 5 freshman playing the first game of their careers. It will get better, but they are going to get killed with their non conference schedule.

 

[Fjordson]

A foul call on Len? Miracles do happen.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Michigan pulls away in the second half to defeat Slippery Rock 100-61.

Hardaway had 25 pts and 9 rebs. He also went over the 1000 point mark for his career. Burke had 21 pts and 8 assists. Robinson had 10 pts and 7 rebounds.

 

[TheNatural]

A foul call on Len? Miracles do happen.

With Noel's FT stroke you should be glad more weren't called.

 

[Fjordson]

Yeah, he hasn't looked great.

Our offense in general looks bad. Goodwin has some nice drives to the basket and Wiltjer is hitting shots, but that's about it.

With Noel's FT stroke you should be glad more weren't called.

True. So ugly.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Nice sequence of plays for Noel there.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Missing Kabongo, and they had like 5 freshman playing the first game of their careers. It will get better, but they are going to get killed with their non conference schedule.

We'll probably lose a couple in Maui, and then UNC, MSU, UCLA, and Georgetown are all potential losses for this team. This team isn't much different than last years team, but last years team was able to score thanks to J'Covan Brown. We're going to miss him this year.

 

[TheNatural]

If the Terps were smart here, down 3, they would just foul Noel over and over again and put him at the line.

 

[Fjordson]

Kentucky's free throws and rebounding =[

 

[GodfatherX]

is Noel really that bad? at work so cant watch the game but have the gametracker up to keep up with the score

 

[TheNatural]

Foul dumbasses. WTF is Maryland doing?

 

[Crisco]

Well he's an excellent volleyball player. Basketball? Not so much.

 

[TheNatural]

Commentator: 6 teams fouls, UK gets ball. Ref: two shot bonus. LOL

 

[bachikarn]

Guess they are calling the UF/GTown game. Oh well. We were up 4 too.

 

[Fjordson]

His offensive game is weak right now. He's made some decent defensive plays, though, and had some bad fouls called on him.

 

[jakncoke]

[jakncoke]

fucking hate hate hate this song

 

[TheNatural]

ESPN is way off this game. I was wondering why it was saying UK was up 2.
