Kentucky, Cornell, and Duke were clearly the 3 most impressive teams this weekend. I love the line by draftexpress about how it's the battle of the future lottery picks against their future financial consultants. With the game being in Syracuse, everyone besides Kentucky fans will be cheering for Cornell.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 21, 2010 -> 11:23 PM) 4 Naismith finalists... Evan Turner John Wall Wesley Johnson AND Sherron Collins LOL Yep, what an absolute joke. Should have been James Anderson. Collins was horrible this season. He'll have a fun time playing in Israel next season.

Fantastic finish!!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 21, 2010 -> 07:49 PM) And his elbows and hooks look much more prominent against a smaller guy like Lighty which is why they've called at least the last borderline one. I agree, it's pretty weak officiating and I've seen enough college basketball to know that officials are too stupid to realize the point you made.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 21, 2010 -> 08:43 PM) LOL, he was clearly dragged down. Take a look at the constant reaching and holding on Turner every time he walks down the court thats not getting called. It's happening both ways between him and Shumpert. Don't worry, I'm not going to harp on this after the game. I'm man enough to admit when one team is better than the other. I just wish Favors could have been given a little more leniency by the refs, as two of the calls have been quite weak on him.

Wow, nice tackle by Lauderdale not called for a foul. Good luck next round Rock.

Another absolutely bogus offensive foul on Favors. Maybe two Big 10 refs shouldn't be doing this game? This is absolutely pathetic.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 21, 2010 -> 08:15 PM) They should have called even more on GT, they are a bunch of hacks. Just because the fouling helps them out, doesnt mean its the refs. If OSU could hit the side of a barn with their shots they'd be up by alot. All I know is Madsen got more respect from the refs in the first half than 2 potential 1st round picks for GT did. Both teams played god awful though, so Ohio St. should be in great position if they make any of their shots in the 2nd half. Hopefully Favors can get one touch on offense.

Refs and turnovers have made this GT/Ohio St. game unwatchable. I'm not going to go all Illinois basketball fan here, but the refs have certainly helped out Ohio St. so far.

Horrible reffing so far in the Kentucky game. Kentucky is getting every call possible. BTW, John Wall sucks! Most overrated player ever.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 20, 2010 -> 09:47 PM) Yes. In his AB 10 minutes ago. Foul balls count?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Mar 20, 2010 -> 10:39 PM) Has Flowers hit one ball hard this spirng? No...I really wish we would have traded him, as I don't think he's ever going to hit the ball consistently enough to make up for his lackluster defense. Our offense looks really awful lately.

Rock, if GT was going to lose to any team in this tournament, Ohio St. would be my choice. I wish you guys luck tomorrow.

Andruw looks amazing, you have to pencil him in as the every day starter right now. As for Teahen, he looks terrible!

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 20, 2010 -> 03:25 AM) Whitney Young won on a game winning shot by Ahmad Starks. I hate that the clock doesn't stop after a made bucket in HS. Ruined really any chance that Waukegan would have had to answer. That game was the best basketball game of the day, tournament included. Starks was phenomenal. Fantastic ball handling by him in such an up tempo game. Why is Sam Thompson so highly regarded by Illini fans? That guy seems terrible every game I watch him.

Utah St. was awful, I didn't think they should have made it. In all honesty, the final teams in the tournament should be the ones you think could pull off an upset. Miss St. and Illinois should have made it, as they played tough against top competition.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 19, 2010 -> 08:44 PM) I think Cal's going to destroy Louisville. The Big East looks awful so far, and Cal has the outside shooting to put Louisville away. I love watching Jerome Randle play, easily one of the most underrated players in the country. Looking good so far for my prediction. I think Cal can and will beat Duke.

Jereme Richmond had an amazing dunk that was called a charge tonight against Whitney Young.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Mar 20, 2010 -> 03:04 AM) I hate it when refs decide to call ticky tack s*** like that. Not saying NMSU wouldve won but they did get jobbed. Yes, that was absolutely awful

24 of 25 on FT shooting for one of the worst FT shooting teams in the country. I'll take it!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Mar 20, 2010 -> 01:42 AM) he's constantly trying to suggest the rel'ship is fraying. what a stool. While he is a douche, there is some tension between the two. There was last season. It's nothing that can't be overcome, but if they struggle this year, it will get a lot worse.

Does this mean Brian Anderson can come back to the organization?

3 shots in the first half for a player that in my mind should be the #1 pick in the NBA Draft, D. Favors. I hate you Paul Hewitt, go stick a kid in an electrical closet so your ass can get fired.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 19, 2010 -> 10:17 PM) Wow that is some dirty pool right there... Chasing down someone's estranged father to try to recruit them? Damn. Turner's the same person who one day said Illinois was his leader, and the very next day, announced he was going to Ohio St. I love Turner though, as he seems to hate Weber and the Illini as much as I do.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 19, 2010 -> 11:12 PM) Rios in the OF and a healthy Quentin? Let's just hope Quentin can stay healthy!
