LSU with another close loss. We can't get shit done late in games. Gotta learn how to finish, but at least we're more competitive now.

[Woy]

Mike Rice finally beat Villanova. Fuck you faggots for last year still.

Great win by Idaho over 17th ranked Utah State while they were riding a seventeen game winning streak.

I watched the Syracuse-Georgetown game last night. Great first half, bad second half, and Georgetown basically scored all the points at the end of the game to win. Jim Boeheim is such a ridiculous coach, its almost comical. He has all these guys who are 6-9 and athletic, yet his teams are so inconsistent. He spent the 2nd half yelling at the refs and his players. Great work.

Marquette had a huge comeback against USF, too.

Notre Dame won again and I got to see a fucking awesome dunk. The entire place was in awe. Even the Notre Dame players thought this was nasty.

JT3 outcoached Boeheim badly.

Syracuse has about 3 or 4 big men, including Rick Jackson who is the most physical and dominant player on either team, while Georgetown really has only one, and the one they have (Julian Vaughn) is a finesse player. Yet Syracuse rarely went inside. And defensively, as Frachilla pointed out, JT3 had his guys force Jackson to his right, where he frequently uses a move where throws his shoulder into the defender, and the Hoyas ended up drawing 3 offensive fouls on him and reducing him to a non factor. Then Vaughn would eat the backups alive.

Offensively, Georgetown kept running plays through the high post. And despite playing most of the game with 4 G's on the floor, Syracuse would frequently collapse on the high post player (usually Vaughn, who can't shoot, or PG Chris Wright), who would then kick the ball out to a wide open man for an easy 3-pointer. Boeheim never adjusted to this.

Boeheim also called a momentum killing timeout while his team was on a run, and had just made a steal. WTF? It took the crowd out of the game, and the Hoyas went on a run of their own. I thought the refs let JT3 call a defensive TO at first. It was mind boggling.

nobody jumped up in excitement....

it was an awesome dunkface and i was pumped to see it live

You can clearly see two players on the Notre Dame bench jumping up when it happened.

The Redmen have three wins vs. top ten teams. I say 18 wins plus a good showing in the tournament gets them in.

I wanna to post about Duke/UNC

---UNC's Marshall is a crafty PG...he's slow as shyt and is a liabilitiy on defense but he sets up their offense very well. Once he learns how to shoot with touch when driving to the hoop, he'll become a dangerous 4-year PG for UNC.

---Barnes...SMH, he's a good player but he's not what he's hyped up to be.

---Nolan Smith making his case for NPOY, he carried this team.

---Seth is starting to become that #3 option...Duke needs him to stay consistent, he's the only other option who could really create for himself until Kyrie comes back (if he does)

OSU Wisconsin tomorrow.
