I keep telling you not to get that excited with Chris Allen. He basically was a bust at Michigan State. White's the one with the exciting potential, IMO.

 

It's still a different fit for him.

Deshaun Thomas is playing like he's on drugs in this OSU/Purdue game.

Exactly what I was thinking fathom. He is the reason OSU is down right now.

If there was ever a play on the take, it's Thomas in this game. His missed FT couldn't have been more of a brick, and for a guy shooting 83 percent on the year, that was very interesting.

Normally I wouldn't be interested because polls are irrelevant in basketball (heck of a concept lol), but all the top four teams lost this week. Who is your new No. 1? Clearly none of the top five or so aren't playing especially well because 4 of them lost this week and Duke is probably just on par with Ohio State, Texas and Kansas.

Id still say OSU. Their only losses are @ 2 top 15 teams.

I think Texas is the best team in the country but I'd say Kansas deserves to be ranked 1 at this point.

Im with this.

 

If Duke wins tonight, I wouldn't be shocked to see them #1 even though it would be a sham.

Mark my words, Duke will lose tonight.

Hewitt getting ejected in the first half again?

Coach K gets a T, and then GT gets 5 straight fouls called on them. Shocking.

No fouls called in final 10 minutes of first half against Duke. And I don't think there's enough green in the world for my "GT will win tonight". They could have J. Jack, Thad Young, Favors, Bosh, and Morrow on the court and Hewitt would still find a way to lose.

I actually thought you were serious in the "this team is so bad and disappointing that once they finally reach the point where my expectations couldn't be any lower, they beat some ridiculously talented team" mindset.

Hell no, they've absolutely quit. Things have gotten so ridiculous with the program that members of the AD openly talk about who the next coach will be in front of Hewitt at AD meetings. Hewitt is gone around March 11th.

So glad ESPN put Kansas on Big Monday again. Instead of the trying to match the quality of Big East games you get every week, most of the time it's Kansas beating up on some mediocre team in Lawrence. At least show them on the road so there's a chance it's competitive. Yeesh.

Like last Monday?

Like last Monday?

Yes. Exactly like that. I'm sure watching #1 get blown out gets better ratings than watching them beat up on a crappy team.

Great job, NCAA. Let's suspend a coach for recruiting violations NEXT YEAR. Makes perfect sense.

Especially to a coach who has talked about retirement before and has a clause in his extension that he's getting paid a hefty sum no matter what.

 

Not that 3 games would push that decision, but he could walk through this whole thing unscaved.

Illini starters vs. OSU tonight: Tisdale, Davis, Richmond, Paul, Head. Yes, that's Crandall Head, not Luther. Now I have to watch the start of the game.

Illinois better keep dropping 3's or they will eventually get blown out tonight.

Does Demetri hate Richmond? Everytime they are on a fast break together, McCamey never dishes the ball to him.

this team is so f***ing pathetic. it's difficult to watch. it's like they have no idea what to do on the court.

Rumors are that they actually do dislike each other.

You have a hard-on for any negative report about Richmond. Did he steal an ex-girlfriend of yours or something?

 

Weber's halftime interview pretty much sums it up. He's lost this team.
