This goes back to the old "is it player of the year or MVP" question. If the award is for MVP, I'd agree with Emmenecker, but if this is a player of the year award, I'd have to go with Osiris.

Pretty much. Falker doesn't belong on the first team btw.

WOW. I was really wrong about VaTech tonight. Killing Wake by 30.

 

This will eliminate Wake from tournament talk.

Nice work OSU, Wisconsin owes you one.

Go Northwestern. It's my last hope....

Maybe a Wisco booster paid Butler to not only re-join the team but to begin making baskets.

I'd like to nominate Shan Foster as most underrated player in the nation, as well as the best true small forward in the country.

42 pts, game winning 3 for Mr. Foster!

Thank you DJ, Stemler, Mike White, and Adam.

 

It's been a fun (and crazy) four years. I can't believe that was my last game in Assembly Hall as a student.

Yeah Senior Night was good. I also liked how they honored seniors from other sports and the Student Athletic Board, I thought it was a nice touch.

Dan Werner just had one of the dumber plays of the season at the end of that UT/Fla game.

Congrats to Wisconsin, assuming they can win that scrimmage at Northwestern Saturday, they are outright Big 10 Champions. And I think Florida knocked themselves out of the dance tonight by blowing that lead.

 

That wasn't you on the court by any chance, was it?

Ha nope (I finished 2nd to the guy who represented us on the court), but as a director for the organization, I did sit where SAB does all season. Not a bad view, I have to say.

Notre Dame just finished its second straight season of being undefeated at home.

No losses at home since the 2005- 2006 season.

That includes all the Big East.

They are still mediocre on the road and can't play defense.

Their road losses:

 

Baylor (L by 4)

Georgia Tech (L by 1)

Marquette (L by 26)

Georgetown (L by 19)

Connecticut (L by 6)

Louisville (L by 5)

 

Only two bad losses of six, and all those teams sans Georgia Tech will probably be in the NCAA.

 

Defensively; in my opinion, as long as you outscore your opponent, who cares?

The Louisville game was nowhere near that close, and Georgia Tech is AWFUL. Anyways, tournament games, especially when you get past the first weekend, are won by defense and point guard play, and ND is horrible in regards to the former and mediocre with Tory Jackson in regards to the latter (he's basically a slightly better Chester Frazier).

Look, I don't have Final Four aspirations, but if they make it to the Sweet 16, I'd be satisfied.

 

Elite 8, I'd be thrilled!

Well you are right about one thing, Notre Dame has an elite offense in terms of the national picture. McAlarney and Harangody alone can win games against superior teams with their ability to put the ball in the basket, which is a lost art nationally.

Yeah, they're only sophomores too.

One foot in after tonight's win against Boston College.

 

After the debacle on the football field, the Canes really needed this kind of season from its basketball team.

Oh Iowa State, you cocktease.

42 pts, game winning 3 for Mr. Foster!

yeah he hit his last 9 threes, 9 for 9 in the second half and OT....just ridic.. i know you know fathom, but its sad that more people across the country dont know about this guy...hes 6-6 with long arms and an unbelievably high release that must make it as if he his 6-9 shooting it from the arc...he was huge against UT and now this...people better start learning his name

Shan Foster reminds me A LOT of Josh Howard. Howard, like Foster, stayed all 4 years and was GREAT as a senior. Both are about 6'7, but were way underrated nationally in college. Howard ended up going on the last pick of the first round and being a steal, and I see a similar fate for Foster, who is projected to go in a similar range to Howard in the draft, and will be a very good NBA player IMO.
