Howard's actually played great this half.

Ugh, this is awful basketball.

I believe Butler has made one jump shot in the 2nd half.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 04:20 AM) Veasley is an awful, awful basketball player. When Duke wins, he deserves a ring. Gordon Hayward's twin sister could have played just as good.

Figures that the refs finally get a flagrant foul call right.

Butler's struggling on offense again like they did against Michigan St. in the 2nd half.

Terrible, terrible sub by Stevens there. Taking out Mack and Hayward, and put in Hahn, who couldn't guard my grandma.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 03:02 AM) Veasley, come on man. It's amazing how bad he and Howard have been.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 03:47 AM) How do you leave Singler wide open time after time? No kidding...I feel like I'm the only person who thinks Singler is awesome now.

Another great 6 minutes for Howard....YOU SUCK!

So I got way too happy to see Gus Johnson made the Hall of Fame...only to see it's not the icon announcer!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 03:12 AM) Not a bad first half. Foul trouble really slowed Butler as two big players missed a ton of the half. They have got to keep the pace down though. Thing is, they're getting better looks early in the shot clock. Duke is so disciplined in the half court on defense, they make it very difficult with the shot clock winding down.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 03:09 AM) Veasley is garbage. Hopefully he has a big 2nd half. Butler is shooting like crap again, Duke is on fire, and only up 1. This game has been a ton of fun to watch. Veasley had a nice pass to Scheyer there to set up the Smith 3 pointer. Hopefully Howard picks up his 4th foul early in the 2nd half.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 03:03 AM) Veasley is singlehandedly costing Butler this one so far. He's having a miserable game. Not as bad as Howard's first 10 minutes.

Every game I've seen of Butler's this tournament, it shocks me how bad Howard and Veasley are.

QUOTE (3E8 @ Apr 6, 2010 -> 01:36 AM) Jesus Howard is sucking tonight He's sucked all tournament!

Matt Howard is the worst f***ing player. All tournament, he's been awful. Too bad he was cleared for this game.

At what point does Samardjiza just quit pretending like baseball's going to work out for him?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 08:57 PM) The Legend of Mark Buehrle grows larger. Is there a cooler player in Sox history? It just took you this long to realize this?

Sounds like a very dominating game. Our 2-3-4 is pretty awesome...and looks like the defense was sensational. Great to see Rios get off to a great start as well!

The Ordonez conversation between KW and Bernstein happened at the beginning of the 2005 season. Bernstein said to KW "I didn't know that knee problems cause your forearms to get twice as big". KW had one of his evil laughs.

KW's evil laugh when Bernstein asked him about Ordonez using PEDs is all you have to know about the situation.

QUOTE (jhonnydanks @ Apr 4, 2010 -> 12:44 AM) yes, he looked real sharp. very encouraging to see. his brother, on the other hand, looked awful. pulled his head on every swing and didn't come close to making contact. linebrink, well, yeah, he received quite a bit of "encouragement" to do better from all of us behind the dugout. Danks has such a long way to go with the bat. The sooner we trade him and Flowers, the better.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 4, 2010 -> 12:32 AM) It has been one of the best ever judging by upsets and last second shots. Nobody cares that every player isnt pro caliber since its college sports, you are stupid if you expect every game to be a showcase of highly skilled players. Yes, all we want is the games to be close and Gus involved.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Apr 4, 2010 -> 12:28 AM) I love college basketball as well, but this tournament other than the first day has been pretty brutal to watch. The only good games last weekend were Xavier/KSU, MSU/Tenn, and Duke Baylor. The rest of the games were brutal to watch and really after the first day of the tournament the first weekend was pretty boring as well (other than KU/Northern Iowa, MSU/Maryland, and a couple of others). Yep...time to root for Butler on Monday night.
