I love Greg Monroe. I see shades of Tim Duncan in his game sometimes.

I see Kevin Garnett.

Alternate uni's in EVERY sport suck ass.

One home, one away. Wear a throwback once or twice per year for shits & giggles. That's it.

UGA's black alternates beg to differ...

Purdue's ball movement on offense has been amazing tonight.

They need to finish off the Spartans. Wisky losing to Illinois tonght = perfect time for Purdue stage a Big10 takeover

 

[SuperKevin]

I really like Purdue. They are one of the more fundamentally sound teams in the country

yeah, they are playing great right now. their ball movement is really good tonight

I'll be at the game woy, I am interested to see how we play against a team who is over .500.

My guess is that we will come into the game prepared and hit from the outside and it should be close. CCSU is one of the streakiest shooting teams I have ever seen so I can also see them going cold and us getting blown out in the first half.

#24 Vandy beats #12 Tennessee in a match up of the only two SEC teams Georgia has beat this year, :bizzaro:

 

[DoubleDeuce]

If only Bama's offense was as good as their defense....

 

[Bear Pand]

I really thought Purdue was going to blow that game. I've seen way too many collapses, E'Twaun Moore just straight took the game over though.

Now:

Mchigan State 9-3
Illinois 9-3
Ohio State - 8-3
Purdue 8-3
Wisky 8-4

Purdue still has Illinois at home, Mich State at home, big game against OSU on the road coming up.

Add MSU to the list of overrated teams this year..

Duke better be careful of the UNITC tomorrow...yes they are horrible but
A- rivalry game, records get thrown out the window
B- Hansblow is getting his jersey retired into the rafters tomorrow, UNITC will be riding high emotionally

Emotion ain't going to do a thing.

1.Blood is in the water.

2.dook got swept last season by the Heels.

& the biggest reason..........

3.This Tar Heel team is resigned to the fact they are sorry. There is no feeling of working harder will fix anything. They feel losing is inevitable now. This is where the "leadership" of Ginyard, Thompson & Roy Williams has been the Heels' biggest failing. They've all but given up.

I would agree w/you if it looked like Carolina was still trying, still hopeful. But they aren't & that's what is most disappointing. If the Dean Dome crowd isn't filing out of the arena w/5 minutes to go, that will be an accomplishment.

By the way, Travis Wear is now on crutches.

We say that almost every year. Then when March comes, Sparty is almost always in the Elite 8, if not the Final 4. Izzo knows how to get his boys ready for dancing.

Theres ALWAYS emotion in a Duke-UNC game.

Their best player hasn't exactly been playing much, FYI. MSU come tourney time is usually always prepared.

Did I say there wasn't? I said it ain't going to matter. Sure, the crowd will be hype. UNC might ride it to an early lead the 1st quarter of the game. But then dook would make a run, UNC's cloud of doom will appear over their heads, & the next thing you know everyone is trying to beat the traffic. I've yet to see an inkling of determination from this group of Heels. 4 years of Danny Green & Tyler Hansbrough hasn't worn off on anybody. They just bend over & take it.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

That team has enough depth to make up for it tho.

I still fully expect them to be competitive come March, I just think right now they're overrated. A lot of college teams are.

 

[Archer]

I disagree... I think Lucas is the only player they can't really make up for . He pretty much runs that team

 

[Argath]

I fully expect the Big10 to dissapoint come tourny time. I have a feeling Purdue will be upset in the first or second round.

Michigan State is the only good team in the conference, everyone else I feel is overrated this year.

and you'll be proven wrong come tourney time. Those top teams beat up on each other, they will be tested for the tournament. I'll go ahead and bet you $100 on your Purdue prediction right now. If you're so sure about it, let's do it. Big Ten doesn't disappoint that often in the NC2A tourney and this year they have some of the strongest teams up top they've had in awhile.

And your definition of 'good' needs to be redefined, perhaps with some logic involved this time around.
