Just got back to my hotel after a day full of some good basketball. We played our best game in a long, long time. We actually played aggressive on offense which hasn't happened in ages. I've been hard on Tatum all year but he was absolutely fantastic tonight. Another big key was Jamal Foster, today and the game against UNI he has really extremely well. Foster is the tallest guy we got and he's played some very quality minutes the last few games, he's going to be a huge key tomorrow when Falker gets in foul trouble and he comes in to guard Stout. UNI was not very impressive today even though they won by a comfortable margin, I think we're in good shape tomorrow, we play like we played today and we win with no problem. As for Bradley-Shocks, you'll see the Braves on Cbs sunday.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Mar 2, 2006 -> 11:27 PM) Evansville is so bad and I want a new coach there so bad, I am not sure I can actually root for them tomorrow night. They've played better as of late and have everyone returning next year, they could be pretty solid next year. We gotta take care of business tomorrow, can't lose to Evansville twice this year, if we do..POP.

First game in the books: Indiana State beats Drake 72-63 after scoring 10 in the first half. The Trees play the Shocks tomorrow.

I'm not a big fan of BC, I think they'll have to get a favorable bracket to get past the first weekend.

The Hornets had a good 2nd half today.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 11:16 PM) I just can't buy Texas or LSU. Their guard play leaves a lot to be desired. Kentucky is definitely not doing it. They haven't played well all year, I don't see them starting now. I can sort of see BC, but they're going to have to shoot pretty well. Before you guys give me crap, I said NC State because they are deep and shoot well from behind the arc. Those are the types of teams that seem to do well in the tourney. Plus, they have enough size to hold their own. Darrel Mitchell is pretty damn good and Temple is decent, they also have Tasmin as a wing and then obviously Big Baby and Thomas down low. They're a pretty solid defensive team and a damn good rebounding team. I really love LSU and obviously expect them to make a long run. As for Texas even though Gibson hasn't played well as of late, I expect him to get back on track, I like Gibson a lot. Paulino is pretty decent though he's not a true pg imo, the one thing he does do well is take care of the ball which will be vital come tourny time. We'll obviously see though, I can't wait. Two weeks from tomorrow.

QUOTE(THEWOOD @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 10:56 PM) UCONN.....BC....OSU....KENTUCKY Well atleast we all know who won't win their pool.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 09:45 PM) A&M is a 100 percent lock to get in if they can win at s***ty TT, that would put them at 20-7 (10-6) and no way they are kept out then, even if they lose the first game of the Big 12 Tourney. FSU has a win over #1 Duke, was robbed of a win at #1 Duke, and is also a 100 percent lock if they win at Miami to finish 19-9 (9-7). At least one of them is in, i'd be very surprised if both aren't. Kentucky is also a lock now, 19-10 (9-6) very good RPI, and they are Kentucky. Both have rpi's in the 50's, sos's around 100, A&M has 2 top 50 wins while FSU has one. They both have a shot to get in but both are far from locks imo.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 09:36 PM) FSU and Texas A&M should both get in now after those wins. They both still have some work to do. A&M's resume is pretty s***ty, they're gonna have to beat Ttech and win atleast a game or two in their tourny imo. FSU needs to beat Miami and atleast 1 in the acc tourny.

Well today sucked.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 09:05 PM) LOL. Somebody tell me what happened in the Texas game? There was 8 or so seconds on the game clock and 2 on the shot clock, P.J. must have thought the 8 was the shot clock and just dribbled around until the shot clock expired. Then A&M drains a trey to win it at the buzzer on the next possession.

UK wins. Upset Wednesday and a horrible day for teams on the bubble who didn't play tonight.

UK up on the Volunteers with 8 seconds left.

Now how dumb does Tucker feel?

P.J. Tucker is a dumbass, but we already knew that.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 08:29 PM) The crowd is overshadowing Duke losing. Repeating...Duke lost. Hell, at least they had a reason to rush.... And they could have cost their team a ncaa appearance, how funny would that have been?

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 08:27 PM) Who cares about the fans, it's happened before in basketball (and football), this isn't the end of the world. Seriously though, you have to be a f***in retard to rush the court with 2 seconds left. Those fans are idiots.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 08:17 PM) Holy cow, its not just the FSU athletes that are dumb... I say automatic forefit.

f***, f*** f***. Duke's gonna lose, bad news for bubble teams.

God damn it Duke wake the f*** up.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 06:58 PM) I believe they were both 2 fly outs...neither of which was close to being a HR. It happens, early in Spring Training, the first real live-pitching you see, and you get over-anxious. You start taking your head off, opening up your shoulders, dropping your back shoulder, flailing your hips, etc. Happens to everyone. So why did you ask the question then?

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 05:10 PM) 37 That's great, we'll see what happens then but don't say he's not a good shooter when he clearly is. As of now he's a perfect fit for team, you can't just assume he's going to slow down in 2 years when he clearly hasn't yet.

Nova, Memphis, Texas, LSU

QUOTE(The Bones @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 06:59 PM) If FSU can beat Duke tonight they could make a case for an at-large bid. FSU leads by 3 at the half. Yup, Duke needs to hold onto this one.
