Fuck Scotty Hopson, that is all.

:smug:

3rd best team in the SEC > Pitt

 

[Herm]

typical Scotty Hopson in that game though, he might score 30 or he might foul out with 6 pts on 3-23 shooting.

K-State scrapped out a game against Loyola today 68-60. We are a fucking ugly team to watch.

The Loyola student section did the overrated chant at the end of the game. Even though it was a win for us, it's probably true.

Robert Morris 90, Youngstown State 60

An absolute dismantling of the Penguins from Youngstown State. RMU shot the ball extremely well (57.4% FG, 54.2% 3PT) because their offense ran their sets to perfection and got a lot of open shots. Karon Abraham finally shook off the rust from his suspension with a game-high 26 points (8-12 3PT), with the addition of a foul shot on two of his long-range bombs.

Lijah Thompson added 16 (lolwut) off the bench, but this was clearly the best I've ever seen him play as a Colonial. His post moves were good, he wasn't shy at drawing contact and went up with a vengeance every single time. Something was possessing him tonight.

Velton Jones (15), Russell Johnson (12) and Yann Charles (10) all had double-digits for the Colonials. Walk-on Treadwell Lewis hit a three with a minute left that sent the crowd in a frenzy.

Next up, a trip down south to face Appalachian State next Saturday.

I went to the Texas A&M/Washington game yesterday, what a great finish.

TAMU up 1, inbounding, 30 seconds left, Washington has no timeouts and chooses not to foul. Isiah Thomas gets the steal with 6 seconds left, dribbles the length of the floor, and gets blocked at the fould line at the buzzer. Wild finish.

I though Lorenzo Bomar really blew this game for Washington. He sat his best player, Thomas (13 points in limited minutes), for sizeable chunks of the second half, including most of the final minutes. He didn't put him back into the game until there was 30 seconds left. I assumed he was in foul trouble, but he only had one foul. He didn't appear to be injured, because he made the great steal at the end and nearly won the game. Very odd coaching.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Oh, and as a sidenote, Mike Sherman was sitting by himself in a shitty seat, quietly enjoying the game. Then they show him on the big screen, and he got harrassed for autographs and handshakes to the point he finally just got up and left.

From the "nobody cares but me" department, LSU beat Central Michigan last night 59-55. Down 11 at one point, which is questionable, but hey, a win is a win.

Team has some depth, albeit young depth, but needs to establish their go-to guy. Can't have six guys scoring between 6 and 12 point. Really disappointed to see freshman PG Andre Stringer regress so soon. He was playing lights out at the start of the year but turned in a dreadful performance yesterday (0 assists, 6 turnovers.)

Someone has to nut up and become the de facto leader of this young team. Things are looking up, but it's more quantity than quality at this point.

IU played as well as Kentucky for 30 minutes, then fell apart for the last 10.

FML

 

[Rudi]

Diebler went bonkers tonight, hitting 9 straight 3s at one point.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Mizzou/Illinois was a great game. Very intense.

Mizzou is better off without Dixon, he sucks.

 

[NAHSTE]

LSU hoops is fucking garbage this year. Got blown out by North Texas. Need to get these youngins up to speed fast. Sadly, the SEC is so bad that we'll probably still eek out 5 or 6 conference wins.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Watching Cal host Kansas, Cal is hanging in there.

Does Cal still have that 8ft gook C? He was a favorite of Archer & I. He was an awesomely bad stiff. Sadly, I don't even see him sitting on the bench.

 

[Blick]

Kansas pulled away on Cal. KU is really, really good. I'd love to see them match up with Duke.

It was nice to see Mizzou and Texas sweep the Big 10 tonight.

Baylor also kicked the shit out of San Diego.

K-State, the team picked to win the conference in pre-season, might be the 5th best team in the league at best.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

-Baylor shit the bed against Wazzou tonight. Yuk.

-Hoyas blew out Memphis on the road, shot lights out again. Memphis is very athletic, and big, but JT3 switched to a 2-3 zone and dared them to shoot. They bit, and couldnt keep up with the sharpshooting Hoyas.

-The Big 12 and the Big East are easily the two best leagues again. I thought TAMU would be down this year, but they have cruised through non conf with one loss, and look to be very deep. No star or go-to scorer will hurt, though.

-The SEC is fucking terrible, Tennessee nearly lost its fourth straight to Belmont tonight.

 

[Sportsbuck]

OSU at 12-0 right now... this team is looking pretty good especially defensively.

 

[Herm]

im disappointed in this thread, ive worked alot lately and havent posted i come back and i still have a post in the latest page?

step your hoops talk up, maybe its that most of homers for our particular programs havent had much to cheer about.

 

[Sharkweather]

UGA/UK conference opener, get pumped Herm.

 

[Herm]

UGA/UK conference opener, get pumped Herm.

get pumped for what Travis teabagging the uk bigs while he dunks over them?

All hoops and no Enes makes Herm a dull boy.

 

[Rudi]

*yawn*. Bring on Big 10 conference play. 60 point blow outs are boring.
