And I hope BC just keeps crushing Vitale and Patrick.

 

67-64 BC, 4:00 left.

3 minutes left and BC still leads by 3.

I'm getting tired of hearing all of these records JJ's breaking.

JJ read soxtalk and got angry.

Redick has the heart of an assassin...whatever that means...

Redick has the heart of an assassin...whatever that means...

it means he killed Sly Stallone's character from said movie and had his heart transplanted into his body

He also has a knack for bad poetry, whining when fans so mean things, and a name that can be turned into Redick-ulously(insert word here)

Damnation.

77-76 Duke, 4.4 seconds left. Duke ball.

Man, the clock was really generous to B.C. on that inbounds pass.

Wonderfully timed miss of a free throw.

The good news is we don't have to hear Dick Vitale and Mike Patrick together until the fall.

Great game.

I agree with them when they say JJ is a good shooter...great from the free throw line, and pretty good from 3.  Not as good as ESPN makes him out to be, no where near the greatest 3 shooter in history...NCAA or ACC.

 

When you add in the rest of his game...poor in pretty much every area...not a good pass, not a good ball handler, cant create his own shots...I see a good yet extremely overhype college player with little to no pro career.

 

Bulls***!

 

Like him or not, Redick has done an excellent job of improving his game in all areas. I have seen him create his own shot and score in many ways besides 3-pointers and free throws this year. Redick is by no means simply a standup shooter.

 

No, Redick isn't the best player ever. No, he isn't the best shooter ever. But the guy can flat out play and he is huge in the clutch. Any guy that is as active offensively as he is, will have plenty of failures to go with many successes.

 

If you want to hate him, fine. But give him his fair due. He's not a POY candidate for NOTHING.

Actually, he is a POY candidate because he broke a 3 pt record and he plays at Duke.

 

But, your wrong...he cannot create his own shots, I wont say he's a horrible ball handler but he is no better than average, and hes not a good passer.

 

He is about the definition of a one trick pony.

Actually, he is a POY candidate because he broke a 3 pt record and he plays at Duke.

 

The fact that he's 2nd in the nation in scoring has nothing to do with it.

No, he's become a lot better player this year. He goes inside a lot more now, and that's raised his game to a different level than past years.

The Redick hate needs to stop. Dude is great. That's it. He stepped up like great players are supposed to today. Props to Duke for holding on and beating a really good team in BC. BC is gonna be extremely dangerous in the tourney. I knew Smith and Dudley were very good players. I didn't realize they were such good passers. They've got an extremely athletic team that can give you fits defensively.

34 at-large bids to give out, here's how I see it...

 

ACC

BC

NC State

UNC

 

Big East

Cincinnati

Connecticut

Georgetown

Marquette

Pitt

Villanova

West Virginia

 

Big Ten

Ohio St./Iowa loser

Illinois

Indiana

Michigan

Michigan St.

Wisconsin

 

Big Twelve

Kansas/Texas loser

Oklahoma

Texas A&M

 

Pac 10

Arizona

Cal

Washington

 

SEC

Alabama

Arkansas

Kentucky

LSU

Tennessee

 

Others

Bradley

George Mason

George Washington

Missouri St.

Northern Iowa

UAB

Wichita St.

 

Bubbles Burst

Seton Hall

Hofstra

Utah State

Florida State

Creighton

Maryland

Air Force

Colorado

 

I think that's everyone. The team's that I'm not to sure about are Michigan, George Mason, and the Missouri Valley teams. I think Seton Hall could very well get in over one of these teams and Hofstra might get in instead of George Mason.

Sorry but that is just full of s***.

 

Let's just look at some numbers to help your cause........

 

-- Through his first three years, JJ scored 78% of his points on three-pointers or free throws. He was consistent at 78%, 76% and 78%. This season, going into today's game he was at 64%. I'd say that is marked improvement at finding other ways to score.

 

-- He's made 32 more two point FG's than 3's this year. He shoots those two-pointers at a 55.8% clip. Don't try and tell me these are all easy breakaway layups either.

 

-- He plays 37+ minutes/game and takes 18 shots/game. He turns the ball over 2.4 times/game, which in my mind is not too damned bad for a guy who has the ball in his hand as much as he does. He averages 2.6 assists/game. While that is not a great TO/assist ratio, he is not a point guard. For a scorer that does what he does, I would consider that serviceable for sure.

 

-- His overall shooting % went from 40% last year to 48% this year. He's making the same number of 3's this year as last, yet his scoring has gone up 6+ points/game. I'd say he is finding more ways to score, including creating his own shot.

 

Oh wait, these numbers DON'T help your argument.

 

Let's talk again when you can share some actually knowledge.

Team Jimbo looks like they're going to win the big 12 tourny.

MarlinFan, with all due respect, you are being ridiculous and nobody is going to take you seriously with your biasness against Redick.

5 minutes my friends, 5 minutes. I'm soooooo f***in excited.

I am not biased against him, he is just not as good as everyone thinks.
