NCAA Basketball 09-10 Thread

Lol I've been a busy guy, first year of college. This is the best brand of basketball washington has been playing though. I wish they would of played like this all season, they are really getting after the ball on the defensive end and MBA is starting to develop.

Timmy- 2 years ago I went to the Washington Cal game up in Seattle, it was sick. The next day getting ready to fly home, guess who is in the same terminal as me. Ended up getting Ryan Anderson's, Jerome Randle's, Theo Roberston's, and Patrick Christopher's autograph.

I had them toeing the 4 line, definitely 5th seed...

If Gonzaga had not lost that retarded West Coast Conference Championship game I'd most likely be celebrating the fact that I'd get to stay here in Spokane to watch them play. Now it's probably a long trip out east.

Yeah IDK, it's weird. He has their stock up too.

 

[Mogriffjr]

If Duke can get Dawkins to play like he is now, they are a final 4 team, and title contenders.

Fuck Minnesota.

In the Ohio State-Minnesota game, played at Minnesota on January 25, 1972, in the second half, Ohio State led 50-44 with 36 seconds to go. Witte went for a layup but was fouled hard. Immediately following the foul, Minnesota player Corky Taylor extended an arm to help Witte up, then kneed Witte in the groin and punched him in the head. While on the floor, he was also kicked and stomped by Minnesota player Ron Behagen, knocking him unconscious.

What followed was an extended brawl. Witte's teammate, Dave Merchant, attempted to come to his aid, but was struck in the face several times by Gopher Jim Brewer. Another Buckeye, Mark Wagar (currently the President of Empire BlueCross BlueShield in New York), was attacked from behind by Minnesota player—and future Major League Baseball Hall of Famer—Dave Winfield, who landed five punches in Wagar's face.

When order was restored, Minnesota Athletic Director Paul Giel announced the game was over and the Buckeyes were a 50-44 victor, prompting Minnesota fans to boo and throw objects as Witte was carried from the floor. Hospitalized for several days, including 24 hours in intensive care, Witte's injuries, which included 29 facial stitches and a scarred cornea, in the views of many permanently affected his career. In all, three Ohio State players were taken to hospitals.

The Big Ten Conference suspended Taylor and Behagen for the rest of the season. Ohio State head coach Fred Taylor was angered that the universities (including his own), the NCAA, and the Big Ten Conference refused to pursue sanctions against the Minnesota program, and said later that his enthusiasm for the game was lost as a result; he retired early, in 1976.[1] The Minnesota coach, Bill Musselman, was blamed for fostering a thuggish Gopher atmosphere—for instance, he had his team perform dunks and slams during pre-game workouts. Musselman denied that he ordered his team to play dirty or to initiate fights. Despite losing two of its key players, Minnesota went on to win the Big Ten championship with an 11-3 record.

Following the incident, the NCAA banned the practice of players performing dunks and slams during pre-game warm-ups when officials are not present. Witte chose not to pursue legal or any other avenue of retribution against his attackers. Instead, he has extended forgiveness and tried to achieve reconciliation.

Boooooooooooo

G'town beat Temple, have the #1 schedule in the nation, and have a much higher rpi (#7 as of last night). Temple also didn't beat Duke, Pitt, Syracuse, Villanova, Butler, Washington, or....themsleves.

But yeah, Temple is the only team I can see jumping over the Hoyas onto the #2 line (if they win today). I still won't think it's fair, but it iswhat it is I guess.

yeah I agree with you...maybe a pipe dream they get all the way to a #2, the best shot would be they are both a 3 seed...but I think them winning the conf tourney gets them there (and I'm surely wrong).

If Ohio State is on like this, nobody touches them.

It's Minnesota, guy. Relax.

 

[Roogy]

It's Minnesota, guy. Relax.

Doesn't matter. I could easily argue Ohio State has the best starting 5 in the NCAA.

With no bench

Good luck getting through the grueling NCAA tourney with no bench
