January 31, 201511 yr Great win. Was at the game. Seemed the whole building was expecting a three at the end, including the Illini d who seemed to stop playing at the line. Malcolm Hill was filthy. Morgan played very well.
January 31, 201511 yr Every damn time against Penn State it's a close game (maybe says something about the program ). Always happy to get the W against them. Maybe these injuries /suspensions will be a blessing in disguise so these younger guys have to grow and learn much quicker

February 1, 201511 yr Great end and win for Duke!! Only 8 scholarship players on their team now and 4 are freshmen
February 1, 201511 yr I was keeping my eye on the game at bar. Wtf Virginia? Up 10, finish Blue Moon, they lost.

I can't fathom trying to win games with that roster.
February 1, 201511 yr Sure would love it if Iowa State would play a complete game at some point. Even at home against TCU they were within single digits most of the game. They just can't seem to keep their foot on the gas for 40 minutes. I'm convinced they are able to match up well against just about any team in the country, but I'm not convinced they'd win a first round game as a 2 or 3 seed.

February 3, 201511 yr So I'm going to the SLU-St Joe's game tonight. Not sure why the hell I'd do that to myself.
February 4, 201511 yr Illinois now at 5-5 in conference play, would really help if we can win at MSU on Saturday. If we win out at home (UM, MSU, NW, NU) and sneak a road win (MSU, Wisky, Iowa, PU) then we should be dancing, I think 5-3 is doable especially if Rice comes back strong and Hill/Nunn keep being aggressive.
February 4, 201511 yr I might be eating crow about next years team. Hill and Nunn have been great in Rice's absence. Black is still a freshman, but he reminds me of an Izzo guy - someone who gets after it and owns the glass. You can see the potential. And Egwu gives this team nothing, so he's not a huge loss. Yeah, "defense" big f***ing whoop. He can't rebound or score the ball. Two games Egwu should have dominated - Indiana and Rutgers - two of the smallest teams in the league, he scored a whopping 0 points and grabbed 7 boards. That's pathetic. Paul and Morgan have to be decent and clog up the lane, while Hill, Nunn and JCL score. Edited February 4, 201511 yr by Jenksismybitch
February 4, 201511 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 4, 2015 -> 04:50 PM) Marc Loving has "lost the privilege to wear Scarlett and grey". Temporarily hopefully, need that shooting. Shouldve put a large bet on purdue

February 4, 201511 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 4, 2015 -> 05:00 PM) MOAR Amir Williams! I think they left him behind to watch Loving. KBD will earn more minutes to throw up flat bricks. Russell may shoot 56 times.
February 4, 201511 yr Ha. Syracuse imposes a post season ban on itself. Gonna be rough missing the NIT this year.

February 5, 201511 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 4, 2015 -> 05:55 PM) Cuse, postseason ban Self-imposed. Such bulls***. They have their worst team in years and aren't making the NCAA tourney anyways. Meanwhile, they have a really good recruiting class next year and will be hoping to compete. But this is apparently all a coincidence? Give me a break. Hopefully the NCAA tacks on an additional punishment or this is going to set a precedent that will be exploited. Program gonna get in trouble? Just drag it on for 8 years and when you are set up for a bad year just self impose a ban and move on.

Much like appealing your suspension in baseball, and then dropping it at the most opportune time.
