NCAA Basketball 09-10 Thread

Gonzaga in Portland tonight to destroy the Pilots. It's going to be fun to see how Elias Harris does in his first Conference game.

Austin Freeman put on a show.

Purdue played like shit today.

Missing free throws, sloppy passing, air balling wide open 3s

no clue what they were doing out there in the final minutes. They were down and shot like one 3 pointer. lol at chris kramer getting yanked out for driving to the hoop and flopping when Purdue obviously needed to hit a 3.

Wisconsin is 4-1 against ranked teams this year.

I had never heard of Travis Leslie before today but hes a baller, check him out if the UGA vs UK game is on in your area.

Elias Harris is going to ruin the WCC this season. Absolutely ruin it.

[Herm]

Kentucky played uninspired versus Georgia yesterday. Honestly if Georgia had any more talent on the team they wouldve won that game.

[Bomberooski]

I hear ya silk. It's fun because the entire NCAA is wide open I feel like.

Also, it just goes to show how HUGE playing at home is. This weekend has been great for the home teams.

I havent saw much of Kansas this year so this is a serious question. Why isnt Xavier Henry a bigger part of the offense? I know that its Sherron and Cole's team but Henry seems to have Nba level talent. Ive heard the scouts compare him to Jimmy Jackson which is high praise for a freshman.






FWIW i think the last 9 or 10 years the team that won the NCAA championship had 3 nba first round picks on its roster.

If that trend were to continue its between kansas and Kentucky this year.

The upcoming draft Cole Aldrich, Sherron Collins, and Xavier Henry for Kansas and Demarcus Cousins, John Wall, and Patrick Patterson are all likely first round picks. All of those guys besides Collins are likely lottery selections.


edit: looking at the Mocks for the next few years Texas has Pittman, James, and Avery Bradley projected as 1st rounder over the next two years.

Thanks Silk i didnt see the first half. IN the second half i didnt see Xavier do much, but it was like when he actually made an effort he scored with ease. It seems a player like that should be taking over the game in crunch time. Instead they settled for letting Sherron jack up 30 footers.


Kansas had that killer instinct in the Belmont game. Belmont was within 2 at half i think and Kansas ends up winning by 30. This game today should be a good test to get them ready for conference play. Texas and Kstate are good , and Mizzou is always scrappy.

I love the Morris kids...Markief I believe gets the most time (not sure tho)...he's a beast IMO.

Something about Kansas I don't like...not sure...I love Collins...he's one of the better guards in the nation.

I still can't believe Tennessee's second team beat Kansas.

And yet, despite the hatred I have for Rocky Top, I strangely found myself rooting for them.

My wife came in the room and asked "why in the hell are you watching a UT game, you hate them"

[Dez]

BEDLAM BASKETBALL TONITE!!!!!!! Unfortunatley, i think OSU is gonna lose. Marshall Moses, one of our key players, is suspended cause he was arrested for having dope and driving with a suspended liscence. We'll need a big game from James Anderson.

Who has Kansas played this year? Barely beat Memphis on a neutral court. Memphis sucks. Beat an overrated Cal team. Barely beat Cornell. Aside from blowing out Temple, they havent really played a true road game this year. I expected the Jayhawks to beat Tennessee since they had 4 players arrested but wasnt too surprised that they lost. I havent been impressed with Kansas this season and want to see em get challenged.
