DePaul loses to georgetown...I promised myself I wouldn't watch but ended up seeing most of it...same dumb brand of frustrating basketball...

Rex, you're Aces just picked up a nice road win in Terre Haute and climb their way to .500 in the Valley. Impressive.

 

Never speak of Evansville until next year or if we play them again.

OSU 59-50. The Buckeyes started hot from 3 in the 2nd half and got up 10 but the Cats got it back to 1 not long after. Most of the rest of the way the lead fluctuated between 2-5, never closer. NU did have a shot or two to tie, but never hit the big shot. Oden was the difference. Without his big offensive rebounds and putbacks it's hard to say OSU would win this one tonight.

A&M and Tech in a barn burner, why the hell isn't this game on tv?

The picture quality on this game is downright disturbing.

 

 

Anyway, TT about to win.

70-68 Red Raiders.

Interesting week for TTU basketball. Lose to Baylor, then beat #5 Kansas and #6 A&M back to back.

Wisconsin started the game down 9, but it doesnt seem like there is going to be any Michigan upset now.

 

Cant say ive actually seen the game though as its not on tv.

Darrell Arthur is coming back for Sophmore year. He should team up well with Kaun and Aldrich.

Never speak of Evansville until next year or if we play them again.

 

Hey back off b*tch! lol

 

Problem with Evansville continuing to win is they are killing my hopes for a new coach for next season. I guess if they are going to keep winning, I may as well enjoy it, huh? Next year scares the hell out of me though.

Some fun facts from the Indiana - Illinois game last night:

 

1. IU went 17:24 with only one FG and 3 FT's from the middle of the first half until about 5 minutes into the 2nd half.

 

2. They scored a total of 11 points in a full 20 minute stretch from the 12:21 mark of the first half until the 12:25 (okay so it is really 19 minutes and 56 seconds) mark of the 2nd half.

 

3. IU scored 15 points in the games 1st 6:15. That's 2.4 points per minute or a 96 point pace.

 

4. IU scored 28 points in the 33:45 of the rest of the game. That's .83 points per minute or a 33 point pace.

 

I don't want to take anything away from Illinois' defense, but I don't ever recall seeing such offensive futility.

 

Let's just hope their memories can be short and they can get back to where they were this Saturday. We need to hold serve at home against Michigan and have some momentum going into next week's game vs. Wisky.

That game had to be incredibly maddening for fans of either team.

 

NU actually played pretty well, they shot well from the perimeter (even Sterling Williams hit 3 3's, which is a nearly apocalyptic event), and Doyle somehow manufactured a few easy baskets like he always does. But they missed like 5 layups on open backdoor plays, pissed away a few possessions passing the ball around the perimeter without going anywhere and invariably throwing up a 3 that missed or turning it over, and got horribly outrebounded by a bigger and more athletic team.

 

On the other side, OSU simply couldn't put away a team that isn't even in the same stratosphere athletically. They had numerous baffling turnovers where I couldn't even figure out what they were trying to do, and Ron Lewis kept jacking up 3's even though they weren't going down (their guys have to lay off the 1-6 or 1-7 type nights, those are killers). On the plus side, they did a much better job getting the ball into Oden this game, he finished with 17 and shot 10 free throws. It could have been more too if they called all the hacks when he went up, NU was raking him across the arms like every possession in the first half.

 

OSU really reminds me of UConn of last year right now: they have enough talent to go all the way but they can't quite put it together. Their guards are maddeningly inconsistent, and they don't always get Oden the ball often enough. Their perimeter defense also leaves something to be desired, NU had a ton of open looks from three. At least they have an excuse though, they're very young. If they can find a good balance between inside and outside and get out on the 3-point shooters, they'll be dangerous. But if they keep missing 3's while Oden doesn't touch the ball for long stretches, they could struggle against good teams.

They lost, give it up.

LOL, I don't see where he's saying IU didn't lose. All he's doing is putting some numbers behind it.

Agreed. Indiana couldn't have possibly played worse in that game, that's not a loss that should bother you guys at all.

Iowa beat Penn State....yeahhhh

They lost, give it up.

 

Ummm, I said fun facts. Any idiot could figure out I was having fun with a loss. I'm laughing at it. If you aren't smart enough to figure that out, just pass on my posts please.

 

Have a nice day!

Nail biter in Cameron, both teams are extremely unimpressive.

 

Holy s***.
