McCamey is really, really good.

 

If he doesn't start after this game, well then Bruce needs to be kicked in the groin. And I would start Davis at PF, I just can't watch Randle play anymore.

I'd like to thank BTN for not making me watch this s***. Seriously.

I'd like to thank Penn State for making me feel that much less scared of Illinois this year

agreed.

 

how far we've fallen.

Next Saturday...

 

Texas Tech @ Oklahoma State - CBS

Texas @ Missouri

Colorado @ Texas A&M

Iowa State @ Baylor - ESPN Classic

Kansas State @ Oklahoma

Kansas @ Nebraska - ESPN

 

The Big 12 is gonna be mighty fun to watch this year. Hell, 3 games on national tv to boot. Jimbo can find out who Wesley Johnson is, and I can see what the f*** is the deal with the Jayhawks.

agreed.

Just need to be patient at this point, no other choice. The 09 class and 2010 with Richmond and Head have a ton of talent. And the 07 class with Legion, McCamey, Davis, Tisdale, and Cole is actually quite strong. I am done with the upperclassmen, no talent (Weber's fault) and now some of them just aren't playing that hard.

 

People can make jokes about the 2010 class "bringing us to the promised land" but Richmond and Head are elite talents and the 09 class is very strong. They are a ways off but while they are young, the top players in a class generally are recognized early on these days. Gordon, Rose, Mayo, Beasley,etc. were all ranked very high as early as their sophomore years. It is possible they don't develop but it isn't that likely.

Nebraska isn't that bad this year and Baylor is going to beat Iowa State. I think Baylor is a tournament team.

Big 10 may only get 3 teams in the tournament this year.

 

And if they get 4, Minnesota might be that team.

 

Tubby was a great hire, as a Wisconsin fan it hurts because Minnesota was becoming Wisconsin Jr. in terms of recruitment.

 

To even go into MSU and give them a game shows just how far they have come in less than 1 season.

Yeah, I'd put Baylor as an 8-10 point fav for the game.

 

You think the Horns are ready for "40 minutes of something or other"?

 

I have no idea what to expect out of the Huskers this year.

It's great to hear this coming from a Wisconsin fan, but I've gotta warn you about thinking too highly of them this soon. The game against MSU was a good one, and we should have won it. We had plenty of opportunities late to put them away, but couldn't execute on offense. Still, it was great to see us be that competitive against the 6th ranked team on the road, especially considering our well known issues with playing on the road.

 

But you can't start looking at them as one of the top 4 teams in the Big 10 after a loss. We still lost, and we've still looked really bad at times this year (especially on the road against UNLV and FSU). If the Gophers can come out and play like they did against MSU for the entirety of the Big 10 schedule, then yes, you'll be talking about them come tournament time. But I don't see it happening this year, we just aren't there yet.

Missouri sucks this year. They should have beaten Michigan State, but since then they have looked poor against any decent team.

 

Nebraska is weird because they have good wins over Oregon and Arizona State, but lost their only 2 road games to Creighton and Western Kentucky.

An absolutely insane pace to start the UNC/Clemson game tonight.

UNC probably going down. Really miss Frasor in this crazy pace, Quentin Thomas as a senior has not improved in 4 years unfortunately. Stepheson's defensive presence in the paint is a big loss tonight as well. 6'5 Mike Copeland and 6'6 Deon Thompson just won't get it done in the paint.

I woke up the neighbors after Ellington made that shot. What an amazing game. 36 points for Wayne and the game winner in OT.

Illinois lost again, im loving this.

Nice road win for the Heels! Ellington was huge all night. It will be nice to get Alex back as well, but Lawson, Ellington, and Hansborough will have to carry this team for the most part.

Only 4 points scored in 2nd half for savannah state, wow:

Brian Zoubek out with a broken foot for Duke. Unfortunately for him it's the foot that he shoots with :-).

 

I'm sure we will see a miraculous recovery and he will be back in 2-3 weeks, not that it matters.

 

 

Gordon picks up three fouls in the first half as the referees are calling a lot of reach in/touch fouls. Not saying they weren't fouls, (others have picked them up too, not just Gordon) but I have certainly seen games called less tightly.

 

While he was on the floor, he dropped in three bombs that aren't fair to the defense. I'd guess the closest was 23 feet, one may have been 25 or 26'.

 

Btw, it would be really nice for IU to actually be able to play at full strength for once.

Fay starting to play really well as of late. At least it gives me something to look forward to the rest of the season, hopefully he continues to progress.

 

And we have 45 points at the half after scoring 47 and 51 in full games the last two. This team is so freakin inconsistent.

We are playing Bradley.

We are playing Bradley.

Yup, that's probably the biggest reason. Still, it amazes me at how inconsistent this team can be.

Somethings wrong. We are 13/13 from the line.

Rejoice.
