get laid..shouldn't be too hard tonightInsertNameHere said:
even less hard monday night
I enjoyed the game. I always love UConn winning (fuck yeah alma mater), but the game was close the whole time. I was betting it would go into overtime for a bit there, but getting that second free throw at the end was clutch.
I was on campus earlier, shit got loud afterwards; the last time it was like that on campus was after Obama won in 2008. Trust me, it'll be even crazier when we win on Monday, and then true insanity if the women win as well. Google the 2004 riot clips that were on the Daily Show.
Edit: damn, one of my friends posted this on facebook (his dad is a cop): "My dad said he had to send all of their night shift troopers to Carriage house. Apparently there's at least 25 troopers there right now.".

I must have missed this last week, but seriously lost even more respect for a UK player..and refs in college basketball
so Harrelson walks, steps on the line, and launches the ball at a OSU players face, doesn't get a tech and UK still got the ball?

As good As Kemba is, he tends to take some really awful shots at the end of the game, he was blocked twice yesterday trying to get a shot off against 3 guys and I think the saem happened either in the elite eight or the sweet sixteen when the game was still close.I think Butler will win this.. And how sick is it that Butlers coach is already a legend with 34? I mean where could he possibly go from here? Butlers team doesn't strike me as very talented so it seems that their sucess it has quite a lot to do with good coaching.

your right, on 2nd look he threw it at Sullinger's chest, so i recant that part. I saw a T called on a similar play, granted it was D2 (Bellarmine Knights D2 champs!)Bowser said:

Stevens is a good coach but some credit should go to the players. Mack is a big time talent. Howard is not too shabby either.

Stevens will be able to get anything he wants this offseason, its crazy. He could probably call Texas up and be like "Yeah um, lose Rick, give me $4mil/yr and we'll do the presser tomorrow" and they would oblige.
Draft news - Morris twins are signing with an NBA agent...

Knight is a pg. People were saying the same thing about Bledsoe and he is playing the position well in the NBA. Its partly the system. He has to tools to be a great defensive pg that can get to the rim and hit the big shot.ItWasMeantToBe19 said:
Butler is as good as they are mainly because of Stevens IMO. They have been well coached for years and the team always plays within themselves. Mack is decent, but I don't think he's anything special. I like Howard, but I know he isn't anything special either. I don't think they would be a tourney team if Stevens wasn't the coach.Outdoor Miner said:

I had UConn in the final but got burned by Kansas. Still a Top 10 finish provided Butler pull it off Monday. Not too shabby for being in the bottom 10 for most of the tourney!

I don't think he's a very good pro prospect, but he's a great college player. He can create a legacy in college that he won't be able to in NBA, good decision. Money will be there next season.
Matt Howard has perfected the act of the no jump rebound.
That takes some talent. Following in the broad steps of Dan Gadzuric.
Bobby Cremins sure as hell wouldn't have done that.

You expect your star player to take volume shots. As a result, he's going to shoot 35% once in a while - like he did in that sweet 16 game. It's a part of the game.Jay Sosa said:
SI did a great writeup on Stevens last week. Guy's impeccably prepared. He made sure that the players went in with three plays dependent on the results of the FTs in that championship game last year.Outdoor Miner said:

This joke is sure to fly straight over the heads of some folks.

Wow what a crappy hire by Mizzou. I really thought that was going to be Shaka's next destination after the Painter rejection.
Outdoor Miner said:
To be fair, Missouri apparently took a run at a lot of guys: Painter, Alford, Tubby Smith, etc. They ended up with plan q. Guess what? Nobody wants to take over a program with no tradition and that has about zero chance of climbing to the top of the B12(10, Texas and the 9 dwarves, etc). Should have found a way to keep Anderson.
I don't doubt that Missouri tried to get better coaches, but this still sucks in the end. I wish the result was different, but I'll support him none the less.chuckddd said:
Yes, they should have tried harder to keep Mike Anderson, but honestly it seems he wanted to be at Arkansas than he did MU. Don't think there's much we could have done there.

Bad move for Shaka, VCU won't be back and he won't see those kind of offers again.
Bowser said:
Stevens isn't leaving for at least 3 or so years and if he does it will be for:
Indiana
Duke
UNC
in pretty much that order.
As far as NCSU goes....I don't know what to say....EVERYONE they have reached out to basically clicked 'em up. If that Wichita St guy does too, well I think I'd cry if I was a State fan.
I'm hoping Irving goes ahead and announces this week so we can move on and embrace the Quinn Cook future. But you still have some kids holding out hope that the sun won't rise tomorrow even though they know it will. I'm more excited about possibly getting this Deandre Daniels kid. UNC will be much better than us assuming all 3 return but I think I'll enjoy next season more without the whole championship expectations.

And whatever you do, remember not to breathe on Shabazz Napier.
Good God, man. I swear I remember the opposing player giving him at least a little shove during the game...
Now when I look at it again... Not a single fucking finger on him.
AND THE REF IS RIGHT FUCKING THERE!
Fuck, man. Flopping is eventually going to make basketball unwatchable for me.

They did that shit all night long. There's another good gif out there when Kimba Walker got 'fouled' by Liggins on a 3-point shot. Dude flopped like a fish who just got hit with a tazer gun.
I hate flopping. Hate it when players from my team do it and hate it when opposing players do it. They should start handing out technical fouls for this garbage.
Forgive me if you've read this rant before, but...
Flopping in basketball came into vogue when Euros started sullying up the sport. I'm looking at you, Vlade Divac! Apparently, in Europe, basketball is played a little too much like soccer. MAN UP! Team USA should have a slogan of "we don't dive". That would work for futbowl, or whatever it is, too.

OK. So I'm home, and have had time to decompress. Sad? Yes. But whatever, we made it to the Final Four, and are set to dominate next year, too. Atmosphere was great, but the shots just werent falling in the first half and for that ungodly bad stretch near the end of the second.
Still, had a great time, was center court 25 rows up across from the benches, and while it was sad to see us lose, we did get to the Final Four in a year when we weren't supposed to, and did so in awesome fashion exacting revenge on numerous opponents along the way.
Go cats go!
