2011-2012 NCAA Basketball Thread

[Warner2BruceTD]

I saw Syracuse over the weekend. They are big, they are long, and they are good. I think they will be better than UConn.

[shag773]

and senior laden, they will be top 25 for most of the year and get about 30 wins...they were already high on some polls.

Belmont's coach has been there forever. I have two cousins that went to Mercer, and Belmont's owned the Atlantic Sun since moving there 10 years ago. I'm actually curious to see if they can play with Memphis tomorrow...

Getting my first look at the Hoyas.

They have four highly touted freshmen coming off the bench. All of them are are big and long, giving this team a different look from the guard oriented teams of the past few years. The two best players are still G's (Jason Clark & Hollis Thompson), but this team looks to be more versatile than the Wright/Freeman teams.

sidenote-If you've never seen Nate Lubick, go out of your way. He is THE stereotypical untalented, hard working, white kid. Diving on the floor, rebounding, defense, ugly play, and very awkward looking with a jew fro and bony joints. He has it all.

I'd watch just to see a white kid in a Hoya's jersey.

Big road test for the Tigers tomorrow. Coastal Carolina. I wish a mothafuckin Chanticleer fan would step to me in the streets tomorrow. I'd fuck they ass up.

Johnny O'Bryant finna show the entire city of Conway, South Carolina who he is.

Very interested to see how Tyler Adams does for the hoyas. He was close to coming to duke before ultimately ending up with hoyas. And college ball on ALL DAY??

Adams came out to a Notorious BIG song at Midnight Madness wearing a pimp suit and carrying a pimp stick. Instant crowd favorite.

With that said, he can't crack the rotation for whatever reason. He was a DNP-CD vs. Savannah St, and he played the final five minutes of the 40 point blowout tonight. FWIW, the crowd EXPLODED when he entered the game, lol.

He appeared to be limping when he came in, even the announcers mentioned it, so maybe he's banged up.

Watched Marquette tonight.

They seem like a deep and talented team. Still got some rebounding and off-ball defense problems. Should be ranked for most of the year with a top 5-6 Big East finish.

Only other team I have been able to watch is Cal and they were pretty solid. I miss the little speedy PG and the huge nip though

[Bomberooski]

Gonzaga beats Washington State tonight at Gonzaga. The only thing that matters is that freshman point guard Kevin Pangos had 33 points and 9 three's (tied the school record). Oh and he was trending worldwide on Twitter.

Hilarious Philly writer covering the Drexel/Rider game that just finished.

Anyone awake? No? Just me and a bunch of (possibly) drunk kids at Rider? Good then - 2 hours ago

Crazy number of people awake. In related news, it would appear some of the students pregamed for this event all night. Shocking, I know - 2 hours ago

Do stale donuts on news desk count as "big bucks"? RT @HellnBack76: @gonzoCSN you're covering Rider game? Hope CSN paying you big bucks - 2 hours ago

Three kids vomit. And, uh, Drexel wins RT @PeteyOtotheD: @gonzoCSN got a pregame score prediction? - 2 hours ago

@JennFredFOX29 I'm at Rider. They're playing basketball. Someone thought this idea up. I dislike that someone - 2 hours ago

So, behind me, a bunch of kids painted "Go Rider!!" on their chests. The "O" keeps screaming "scoreboard." It's currently tied. - 1 hour ago

All sporting events should be played at 6 a.m. and feature fans in banana costumes - 1 hour ago

I could use a coffee delivery. I'm on press row, below the guy in the red and white war paint who keeps screaming "shut the f--- up." - 1 hour ago

They scare me RT @RobC_13: @gonzoCSN you gotta love my alma mater. #GoBroncs! - 1 hour ago

They just introduced the Rider dance team...and nine dudes appeared. Not what I anticipated - 51 minutes ago

RT @dgoneil1: Cheerleaders struggling early too.Holding up R U except U is upside down. Now cheering for R N... - 26 minutes ago

That Rider comeback was short lived. Drexel 69-54. T-minus 3 minutes till nap time - 15 minutes ago

Is it at an ungodly hour? I only cover super important games before sunrise RT @dhm: @gonzoCSN Will you be back in Central Jersey to cover the Philadelphia Passion's next home game in Trenton on Dec. 9? - 15 minutes ago

The "O" is fading fast. He just tried to scream at the ref but all that came out was "dkjdioeiojkfkdod" and some slobber. - 11 minutes ago

Extra credit at Rider today for kids who attend class and can speak complete sentences. Actually, that might be extra credit every day - 11 minutes ago

According to @MCunninghamCBB, there's a Starbucks next door. He just told me, with 1:14 left. You're dead to me, @MCunninghamCBB - 9 minutes ago
