I still say that if the current fan base ever had to deal with a game at Duke, there might be a riot on Illini message boards. Well we did have Deron get taken out with 2 weak first half fouls against them in the tourney when we were taking it to them early in the game. Does that count?

That last ball was clearly off Madsen's leg. Now somebody on Illinois will get lost and give Diebler a wide open look for 3.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 2, 2010 -> 10:29 PM) It's always been that way under Weber, and always will be. They're a catch and shoot team, and rarely drive the ball to the rim. I'm pretty sure for the last 5 years, they're in the bottom 5 in the country for FT shots. Depends on the team, most of his teams won't shoot a lot of FTs but the crappy 07-08 team was middle of the pack because they went inside a lot. He hasn't had guys other than DMac and Williams who can really ge to the basket and that has been the problem. Paul will be a guy who will get to the line and the 2010 recruits should as well.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 2, 2010 -> 10:22 PM) yep, Turner's 3rd foul was a joke It was but he also fouled on the dunk attempt.

The reason Diebler keeps getting open 3's is that DMac is guarding him. DMac is a great offensive player but he is one of the worst defensive players in the history of basketball.

How the f*** was that not a foul on Lauderdale on that last play? He was holding Tisdale's right arm and it was clear as day.

Lol wow does Canada suck. Avril Lavigne, Nickelback and Simple Plan at your closing ceremony? Were they trying to find the worst artists that Canada had to offer and get them under one roof?

I really don't like the 4 on 4 overtime or a shootout for a gold medal game btw. I understand they basically have to or the NHL players wouldn't be allowed to play but it doesn't seem right that a game like that would end without the teams playing 5 on 5.

f*** YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow Pavol Demitra missed basically an open net with less than 30 seconds left that would have tied the score. Canada survives and sets up the rematch on Sunday.

What was once a 3-0 Canada lead is now a 3-2 game with 5 minutes to go.

So the USA has now won 34 medals which ties the USA 's for its best ever Winter Olympics performance and leaves them 2 back of Germany's record of 36. However, the USA is guaranteed at least 2 more medals in Hockey and Men's team pursuit which will tie the record and has a really good chance of medals in Bobsled, and Women's team pursuit plus three medal contenders in the Men's slalom. Looks good for the USA to win the most medals but it very well could be Canada that wins the most golds.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 26, 2010 -> 10:06 PM) It's still quite early. I'm going for the jinx. But with the way Canada is playing it is going to be really tough for Slovakia to come back.

Canada up 2-0 in the 1st period. Looks like it will be the US v. Canada for the Gold on Sunday.

The USA women just pulled off a monster upset in the quarterfinals of the team pursuit (long track speed skating) taking down the gold medal favored Canadians.

6-0 USA, this is amazing.

KANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4-0 USA

Get owned Finland. 3-0 USA

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 26, 2010 -> 03:16 PM) Parise must be eating what Rafalski is eating lately. 2-0 USA. The US is completely dominating this game and are going to be on another power play.

Wow this game couldn't have started much better.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Feb 25, 2010 -> 10:53 PM) Nordic Combined is my favorite Olympic event and the US has medeled for the first time ever and they have four of them....cool. Really amazing that you can not medal in an event for 86 years and then dominate it the way the US did this Olympics. And Spillane and Demong are only 29 so they could definitely be back for 2014 if they want to.

NBC's coverage really pisses me off sometimes. There is Men's Aerials going on live right now and we are watching a medal ceremony, figure skaters with no chance to medal and a piece on logging. Awesome.

QUOTE (Felix @ Feb 25, 2010 -> 06:14 PM) Someone seriously said that the WNBA isn't a sport? Women playing basketball is an abomination, but basketball is a sport so the WNBA is also a sport.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Feb 25, 2010 -> 02:44 AM) Sweden was the much better team too. It's a shame. Sweden out shot them 29-14. 4 goals from 14 shots? Wow. There was a stretch where Slovakia scored 4 times out of 5 shots and the only miss in those 5 shots led to a rebound where Slovakia scored so they basically scored on a 4 consecutive chances.

Sounds like a torn ACL for Hummel, but not official yet.
