The Cincy, Longwood and Valpo games will all go untelevised.

 

Honestly, this is the worst thing I 've heard. We're the #1 team in the nation, you'd think someone would pick our games up by now.

What/who's Longwood.

Nope, ESPN owns the rights to these games and has yet to sell them.

Illinois plays Mizzou on ESPN2 Wednesday at 7pm. And guess what Steve, i'll be there again .

 

I know it was Valpo, but we played really solid (unlike against Chicago St), and shot the ball real well. Longwood vs Illinois might honestly be the biggest mismatch of the year in college basketball, that won't be a great game to watch.

 

I also got to shake Ron Zook's hand and briefly talk to him, which was sweet. He was introduced as coach at the game yesterday. He was loving the Chief at halftime and he said to me "Hey how about this?" about our basketball team at halftime. He was a huge fan of the school spirit, even for a break game.

:puke

 

That is all.

Yeah, i didn't see the game, but being up by 15 at half and losing to Mizzou is really, really bad.

 

I keep telling everyone Davis sucks...

What/who's Longwood.

Soem team who is in its first year in D1, will not win another game al season, and should easily dethrone Ark-PB as dead last in the RPI, killing our RPI in the process.

 

I don't think you meant to get a real answer, but I'm so mad that we had to schedule them I gave you one anyway.

It wasn't Illinois' fault...they signed on to be part of that Las Vegas Classic and Longwood is a part of that tournament, as is Cincy and NW State.

It was ridiculous. I've been trying to support Davis for awhile, as everyone has seen. I read his quotes after the game saying that we started playing like we played not to lose instead of playing to win. I've defended Davis, but that's just an excuse, and a lame one at that. We shouldn't have blown that game. We needed that.

Simien out 4 to 6 weeks

Unfortunatly, all this will bring is excuses when they lose a couple of their next games.

Not a doubt in my mind.

Iowa beat the crap out of Texas Tech today. Haluska with another big game.

Steve Alford baby!!!

 

[from one of two people on this board, who could have ever actually played basketball against him]

Didn't get to see the game but UNC destroyed Vermont 93-65 apparently.

 

BTW, Vermonts head coach is awesome, has the best sense of humor and quotes out of any coach.

Alford's a jackass

Alford's a jackass

That is total BS. I knew the guy personally for 3 years in college. Steve Alford is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet in person. He would give you the shirt off of his back. He is a great family man who married his high school sweetheart, and was in charge of Manchester College's chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

Is that not the clinical definition of "jackass"?

the worst thing about iowa playing so well is that it will probably save alford's job.

 

dammit

I call him that for his b****ing about Krush. Alford's a joke

Illinois an 18 pt favorite tonight (espn2, 7pm) vs mizzou

Only in a liberal dictionary.

Illinois is way too big of a favorite in this, IMO.

 

 

I know Missouri is brutal but....

Line is down to 17 now...

 

We'll be up by that much at some point, i would think...but garbage time, as usual, will make the final score look "prettier" than it should have been. Oh well, i love any game where i can watch Freddy play.

and pruitt

:headshake

Oh man, Pruitt is brutal.

 

Both he and McBride are probable with ankle injuries.

 

I'm a bit more worried now that i've seen Quinn's pep talk:

 

Turn your speakers way up or this is pointless
