QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 02:31 PM) lol yeah I know. But still, alot of little kids love JJ Redick. Do you really want to see them walking around imitating that sign? Can you imagine the outrage if Rashad had made that sign instead of "just" the diamond sign that Jay-Z used? People called Rashad a thug for that action, and nothing is said about JJ, pretty funny/odd. Once again I understand what you're saying but the shocker sign is becoming more common around colleges and high schools, you'll see it everywhere. To be honest, I don't even remember the Rashad episode so I don't think it was to big of a deal.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 02:26 PM) It's totally normal for the Wichita State Shockers to throw the sign, but for a Duke player to make the sign after a 3? It doesn't make much sense. Ya, I gotcha. I just don't think it's a big deal at all, trying to find a story when there isn't one, damn unc fans.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 02:25 PM) It's not a big deal, but it's pretty gross and at the same time, this would get a lot more attention if J.J.'s skin were a bit darker. I don't know if I agree with that.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 02:18 PM) More fun from JJ Redick. Here was his gesture after his 3. And here's what it means, Hanover shocker Yet nothing will ever be made of it, and Rashad McCants was a thug because he threw up Jay-Z's "diamond" symbol after 3's. Nice. Ah cmon now, it's not a big deal. That sign is shown a ton, go to a Wichita State game and you'll see everyone doing it, hell..my im bball team did it all the time last year(we were the shockers). No biggy.

So, a month from Sunday is Selection Sunday. I can't wait.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 12:24 AM) Washington sucks, and LSU lost to "overhyped valley team" Northern Iowa AT HOME. Also, Duke won't last long in March, Georgetown is going to need quite a favorable bracket, and Michigan State still doesn't play enough defense. But hey, thanks for playing. I'm with you for most of those. I do believe LSU is damn good though, thanks for defending the valley though. Agreed on Duke and MSU, Gtown is a team I do believe can go far in march though. EDIT: Want to add about Washington, I'd be pretty shocked if they last past round 1. Obviously the brackets can change that thought process but they aren't good at all imo.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 12:08 AM) ive seen the big 4 or 5, not that impressed Any teams you are impressed with not named Kansas?

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Feb 8, 2006 -> 11:52 PM) not one valley team will sniff the sweet 16, yawn. only wich state because Turgeon is a jayhawk. How many teams in the valley have you seen play?

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 8, 2006 -> 11:45 PM) Well considering you play in a league inferior to The Valley, I'm not sure what to think of all your wins. But hey, if you want to continue your drug habit and think your a top 10 team with a great coach, go ahead. Just don't say I didn't warm you when you lose in the 1st or 2nd round of the dance. Pssh, the valley is the best conference in basketball including the nba.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Feb 8, 2006 -> 11:42 PM) I believe KU is definitely a top 10 team at this point. Rush, Chalmers and Robinson are dangerous together. They also have the top defensive squad in the nation, at least fg against % Self is really showing his true colors. Rock Chalk Kansas looks good as of late no doubt. Top ten?? Nu-uh.

QUOTE(q\/\/3r+y @ Feb 8, 2006 -> 11:37 PM) Would like Would like yo see aldridge bulk up another 8-10 pounds too. He's going to have to.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Feb 8, 2006 -> 11:39 PM) 4 BE teams... Yup, they're all playing extremely well. I'm excited for the Pitt-WVU game tomorrow.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 8, 2006 -> 11:35 PM) UConn Georgetown GW Memphis Villanova Texas West Virginia Tennessee then probably Kansas. Good list by the way.

TYSON f***IN CHANDLER

Is Kirk afraid to shoot or what?? Nice shot by Ben.

Expect a lot of the casual fans to have GW go much further in their bracket after tonights display on SC.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Feb 8, 2006 -> 09:09 PM) Northwestern's final 6 possessions yielded 17 points. They scored 18 points in the first half. That is unreal.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Feb 8, 2006 -> 09:04 PM) Was there a court rushing? I didn't see but I'll assume there was.

Heads, explain to me Iowa State basketball. They make no sense.

Cocks beat Gators for the 2nd time this year.

Is TK going to be able to make it through full games without going to bed?

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Feb 8, 2006 -> 03:43 PM) So do you look for the team with the fewest ifs, or the team who will likely end up fulfilling the most ifs at season's end? One could make the argument that the Blue Jays have fewer ifs than the Sawks or Yanks...but they are picked almost universally to finish 3rd. Are we looking at one of the most underrated and overlooked teams in the league in Toronto, even with all the friggin noise they made in the offseason, or are the Yankee and Sawks offenses just that good? Or is the East Coast Hype Machine just working their magic with the Sawks and Yanks again? I think it's more like: They're the yanks and the sawx, they both have to be in the playoffs. I had the Jays pegged for 2nd in the east but with the addition of Bengie I can easily see them winning that thing. I would not be surprised at all to see a postseason this year minus both New York and Boston.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Feb 8, 2006 -> 01:44 PM) Wow that's a lot to have happen. Why don't they just say if the Twins win every single game, they'll win the World Series. Meh, you can pretty much throw out a bunch of ifs for every team, every year.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Feb 8, 2006 -> 01:50 PM) Right now they're 39-8, going 67-15 is what I think they'll end up being. Even if they do rest some players, they'll still win a good portion of games. Finishing 28-7 still would be a rapid pace to finish. But I don't think they'll have any less than 65 wins and I'm guessing 67. Detroit will win 60-65, I've been saying that all year and I'm sticking by it.

One more mvc tidbit. With UNI beating the Shockers tonight we now control our own destiny. We win out we get atleast a share of the mvc title.
