thats quite a turnaround from them not losing another game before the tournament

MDS · January 16, 2011, 02:45:04 PM

well i said they would lose to duke, but clearly this was a bit of a shock

but now that it happened it sort of woke everyone up to the fact that they play tj dileo 20 minutes a game

nova imploding

MDS · January 22, 2011, 01:53:04 PM

no they good

cuse is a fraudulent team and boeheim is to blame. look at his ooc schedule. no true road games, no road trips, not leaving going further south than jersey.

boeheim does that every year and it never effects them...if you think they are a fraud then its because you think their players stink...not because of their schedule

anyway theres no fraud #3 teams in college basketball...its not good enough to create frauds...syracuse is as good as any team in the land...but they can also lose to anyone in the top 20...just because cbb stinks and has no real good teams

nice hold on my nova...they could have easily folded after that cuse run and they didnt...oh how nice is it to have three very good guards including two seniors

lavoy allen is such a Hoyda

just graduate already you faker

MDS · January 22, 2011, 04:54:49 PM

how horrendous is cbb

temple is the best team in the a10 and they got killed by duquesne and are neck and neck with a hideously bad xavier team that lost to miami of ohio and barely beat ipfw and western michigan

temple is not a smart team

MDS · January 22, 2011, 05:11:34 PM

you cant spell temple without nit

and even if they luck into the ncaa's they arent getting run out of the first round again

maybe if dunphys teams didnt play bullshtein halfcourt 1950s era basketball they wouldnt lose to someone named kevin freeze

ice grillin you · January 22, 2011, 05:24:47 PM

i agree and i think he would play his same style anyway but with this particular team he actually has to play that way...they dont have a single player on the team with a handle...so they have to pass the ball 50 times to hopefully get an open shot...fernandez is painfully slow...i hate watching him so much

cummings should solve this problem as he is ultra quick...just gotta hope dunph realizes hes not coaching in the ivy league anymore

MDS · January 22, 2011, 05:31:21 PM

juan is injured

he can actually move a bit its just dunph has never taken the training wheels off--but with good reason. fernandez is largely the same player he was 2 years ago when i covered the team.

its a simple matter of recruiting. fran isnt the greatest and hes losing kids because of the a10/big east thing. he cant overcome that. but thad matta and others could and thats why they arent in the a10 anymore.

ice grillin you · January 29, 2011, 02:05:02 PM

this nova game has been ugly as hell but a furious last couple minute rally has it going down to the wire and they actually have a chance to win

Hawk · January 29, 2011, 02:28:13 PM

Bye Nova.... Freeman is the truth.

MDS · January 29, 2011, 03:15:44 PM

Good day for temple...our gtown win looks better and we just sent that joke martelli one day closer to the unemployment line

I mean seriously how god awful st joes
