QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 27, 2013 -> 09:48 AM) Do we have a shot to miss Thurs at Arch? No. We're basically locked into the 10 seed. At least we'll have a decent shot to win on Thursday.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Feb 27, 2013 -> 09:51 AM) I don't think you can say OK State is the best team they've faced like it's a fact. I think everybody would agree that the B1G is a harder conference than the Big 12 and look at how OK State did out of conference compared to Illinois. The argument can certainly be made that OK State is the best team they've faced, but it isn't fact. And the problem with Gonzaga is their guard play. Against good defensive teams their guards have lots of problems. Pangos isn't a good defender either. Look at the three OOC games against Illinois, Butler, and K state (cherry picking because those were probably the three best defensive teams that Gonzaga faced this year), Pangos had a combined 24 points on pretty poor percentages. Stockton off the bench isn't particularly good either. On paper and when they're playing poor teams Gonzaga looks incredible. Unfortunately, when they play teams that can pressure the ball or play solid defense their guards have issues because they can't really drive. You're right that I shouldn't have worded that as a fact, IMO Ok state is the best team they've faced this year. I can say for a fact that Ok State is the best defensive team that they've faced all year and by a good margin, and Pangos lit them up. And once again, this has nothing to do with how they look on paper(though the numbers love them as well), this has to do with what I've seen.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 26, 2013 -> 11:16 PM) I'm not disagreeing with you, but it's so hard to judge teams like that. Play almost nobody, and when they have, they've lost. They beat Ok State(who was the best team on their schedule, not Ill or Butler) and KState. And like I said, I'm certainly not saying they should be ranked number 1 or even a 1 seed at this point but my eye tells me they're one of, if not the best team in the country. They have scorers/shooters from every position on the floor, they're extremely efficient offensively, their defense has improved big time as the season has went on, they're big, they're fast as hell, they're really, really good. And don't get me wrong, I understand what you're saying but from what I've seen, they're as good as anyone.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 26, 2013 -> 10:42 PM) It feels icky because Gonzaga just isn't all that good... They're pretty damn good. Resume wise they don't deserve to be number 1 but they're good enough to win it all this year.

Alright number 1, s*** has gotten ugly, we're ready...

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 26, 2013 -> 08:40 PM) Ryan Evans just shot a jump shot free throw. lol Ha might as well try something new at this point.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 26, 2013 -> 05:25 PM) I think everyone left work early, cause my commute home was a piece of cake. Yup. We got like nothing downtown. Brian, I heard you guys got hit pretty hard?

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 26, 2013 -> 03:52 AM) This, and I'm not so sure Punk loses. Taker has to be retired somehow and he isn't just going to quietly disappear. Taker loses at Mania and they do a whole lightning and smoke show where he is carried off or something. Retirement. They've sold their 20-0 DVDs already. He'll be at WM 30. I'd be shocked if he lost to Punk.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Feb 25, 2013 -> 10:52 PM) I think that any accomplishments, be they individual or team-related (as is the case with the 2012/13 Hawks season), need an asterisk next to them during shortened years- especially one that has been nearly halved. It's been like 37 hours since the season began and it's nearly halfway over already. The same goes for each of the other major sports. Well hello buzz killington.

That was absolutely a charge. Bad break for the heads'

Punk and Cena are seriously fantastic together.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Feb 25, 2013 -> 09:33 PM) So what's this Tout crap WWE is pushing heavily tonight? I thought between Facebook Twitter and Tumblr, we already have enough social media gimmicks out there. They've been pushing it for a while, hasn't picked up anywhere else it seems.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Feb 25, 2013 -> 07:41 PM) Derrick rose is really starting to piss me off. With his brothers comments and now reports that he's perfectly fine and its all mental. Quit being a b**** and get in the game The only way he's going to get over the mental block is to play. I'm not pissed at him yet but he's gonna have to get over his fear at some point and just play, sitting out the whole season would be pretty ridiculous.

Wouldn't be surprised if Illinois is better than a 7 but that's not an awful guess at this point.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 25, 2013 -> 04:23 PM) race jokes ok fat jokes bad Alright, world. Heaven forbid someone make fun of Adele for being a slob! She is so nasty.

Seth was the only decent part of the whole show last night IMO.

I watched the show last night for the first time and ever, and never again. It's so damn boring.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Feb 23, 2013 -> 04:10 PM) Well, Otto Porter had quite the first half. Porter had 16 points, the rest of the team 5. For a little bit there Porter was almost beating Syracuse single handedly. Kind of a poor game, though. Cuse's shot selection in the first half was piss poor. If you want a more fun game to watch turn on CSU-UNM. Very fun game so far. Best offensive team in the MWC vs the best defensive team.

TCU's starters combined for 0 points in the first half.

Miami had that loss coming, they've been playing pretty poorly the last 3 or so games.

Teo really should have done that presser the second this all came out. Came off very sincere and well spoken there.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Feb 23, 2013 -> 01:23 PM) I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS IF THEY LOSE IN REGULATION It will never happen again in the history of life.

I think it's safe to say the Hawks will never lose again in regulation.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Feb 22, 2013 -> 08:54 PM) Do you always go to Arch Madness? I went 4 straight yrs when I was in Carbondale but between being poor and that asshole coach we had, I haven't been in 3 or so yrs.
