farmteam Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 There's a little Hilton Magic for you and Heads, NSS. At least if one of my least favorite coaches (Boeheim) squeaked one out today, one of my least favorite teams (Kansas) lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 28, 2012 -> 03:07 PM) Kansas is so very overrated, and their conf schedule is getting tougher. They were 7-0 in the Big 12, hard to say they were overrated. The win at Texas was quality. Obviously their schedule gets much harder the rest of the way. Missouri twice, at Baylor, at K State. QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 28, 2012 -> 03:14 PM) That'll do it. Nice win. Oh come on, rushing the floor? Really? Its a big game, but its not like they've never done anything like it before. And the season is still long. Still shocked that ISU has only sold out 2 games this season, that's a shame. It's a HUGE win for the program. Iowa State hasn't done that any time recently and it likely pushes them from the bubble to in for a team that hasn't been in for a while. Rush worthy.

Heads22 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Kansas isn't a top 5 team, but they're the best combo of coaching and talent in the conference. If we beat K-State on Tuesday, I'll get more excited. Kansas is our biggest basketball rival but we need to avoid a letdown against a scrappy team.

Since you haven't been in Ames, I'm not sure you realize just how much Greg McDermott did to Iowa State basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Kansas is ranked at least 5 slots too high, and their 7-0 conf record (7-1 now) is not reflective of the fact that their schedule is going to get a lot harder coming up. And you are certainly right that it has been years since they did something like that. I guess I tend to revert back to my own memories from the 90's. Maybe you're right.

Only saw it from a distance, I guess it was worse than I thought. Makes sense, I mean, none of the current undergrad body was likely around for their last NCAA appearance.

Rex Hudler Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Damn, just flipped on the BTN and caught the last minute and a half of the IL-MN game. Not sure what happened the first 58 and a half, but the last 90 seconds were pretty wild. Dumb, dumb, dumb foul at the end by the Illini. Leonard got called for it and fouled out but Paul swatted his arm and could have gotten hit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Pet Peeve - I hate it when announcers refer to it as first overtime when a second has not materialized (and especially when it doesn't appear imminent). It's not the first OT until a second exists, its just overtime! It's like calling a guy John Doe Sr. that doesn't have a kid or a even a pregnant wife.

How about true freshman? Especially in basketball this is silly whenever I (rarely) hear it, but even for football just say freshman and redshirts can get the distinction.

Rowand44 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 UConn makes 0 sense and ND is rolling. On a side note, bracketbusters announced tomorrow, should get a few real nice matchups as the top teams can all make a serious tournament run this year...

Hoiberg goes up to him, grabs his jersey, pushes him back with his fist and verbally berates him. It made Hoiberg even dreamier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if I had to pick between the two, I do like Evansville more. However, my best friend from college oversees all the food operations at Evansville's new arena, so I was rooting for the hometown team, so to speak. And for them to stop playing overtimes so he could go home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Though, since I follow IU recruiting, I was familiar with a few names (Odum and Ryan) from their high school days. I do occasionally check on Illinois State, because I had a few siblings go there. That's about the extent of my association with the MVC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was thinking of his fellow IU fan on here and knew he would be watching his alma mater on the U since he sees very few games a year.

Rex Hudler Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Watching Evansville is so draining. Having moved away I don't get to see them very often. But having grown up with the program, being friends with many players while in school - including current head coach Marty Simmons - it kills me when they struggle. They have a lot of obstacles to face compared to the other programs they are facing, yet it can be done. It's tough when the proverbial deck is stacked against you and the margin for error is extremely small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
