Funny Duke snippet, atleast to me.

 

Boykin occasionally was embarrassed watching himself during team film sessions.

"I remember Coach K saying one time, 'There have been more floor slaps this season than in the last four years.' I slapped the floor like three times that game," Boykin said. "So I can't do that. Unless it's the right time."

Saw this on Truth about Duke. I know it's fake, but still provides a good laugh:

 

Last night was our second game of the year at Cameron. I'm proud to announce that the Crazies are 2-0 this year. We played some Southern Atlanta team or something. I don't know. We won. Who cares, honestly? ESPN was in the building, and that can only mean one thing: face time. Face time kicks ass. I've only watched my recording of the game once today, but my preliminary count has me on TV 6 times.

Still have that Gordon jealousy eh?

Jealousy? Indiana has the most arrogant, annoying, banner pointing fans in the land (outside of those on this site, who are actually very good fans IMO). That has been the case since I can remember, long before Gordon came along.

Thats because we have the banners to point at. You would too.

Do they hang banners for losing to Butler? Otherwise, there aren't very many recent things that Indiana would be able to hoist banners for.

Pointing at the banners is as lame as the Bears fans talking about the 85 super bowl like it was yesterday. That s*** was a LONG time ago.

My favorite NBA teams has 6 banners that, unlike in the case of IU students, were won during my lifetime and during a time in which I remember, and I never point at them. And based on your sig, I guess your the typical IU basketball and ND football fan. At least that's not being a bandwagoner.

Actually I took interest in ND football in the late 90's with the struggling Bob Davie teams. I've been an IU basketball fan all my life. Nice assumption though....

 

But also, i never said that I'm pointing at the banners, I just state that at least we have them to point at.

We were Big 12 Champions as recently as 2001. That's this millenium, b****es. :D

son of a f***ing b****

 

First the Hawks, now Illinois

 

wtf?

God I want to see Iowa State play Illinois or Indiana in basketball soon. The game would easily sell out in Ames, as it would on the road, I would assume. Good out of conference for both teams, and a nice home and home at tough road venues.

wtf?

 

yep.

 

i'd like to try to be positive and spin this into "guys getting experience" and all that dung, but i just don't feel like it. it's been pretty much eight months of one negative story after another for this team.

so which one of these joke schools do we lose to first?

The Jamar injury with a 'limited' Randle injury would have me toting that line...but you're right, there's no doing that right now.

 

Was our 'bus trip' to the final four that easy that the bball gods still aren't done taking it out on us? Cmon already.

So MSU somehow beat Texas

I'd blame it on sloppy play by Texas late. A couple of examples:

 

1) Durant was wide-open under the basket when the game was tied with time winding down. Instead of slamming it home he tries to lay it in and misses.

 

2) On the next possession they jacked up a 3-pointer with the game still tied.

 

3) They gave Neitzel a wide open lane to the basket on the last play with 3 people in the general vicinity.

MSU isn't very good, but Texas is really, really young and equally overrated. MSU played well, so there ya go.

older teams> young superstar

 

See also, mid majors.

I was able to bet on Iowa as a 1.5 point favorite today, on a neutral court, against Toledo. EASIEST MONEY i've made on NCAA Hoops in ages, as Iowa led all the way and won by 13 on a neutral court.

Iowa isn't going to be as bad as people think this year, but they won't be anything special.

Haluska was 2 for 15 today, and they still won easily. Tyler Smith, who is going to be REALLY good, scored 28 in just his 2nd (or 3rd, I forget) collegiate game. Yeah, they are very young, but they will be pretty good.

How 'not as bad as people think' will they be? 2 banners? 4 banners?

There's some people around here that thought they might win 10 games. They could be a bubble team.

Kind of missed the point of my question... :bang
