WAKE UP BITCHES!! Tip Off Marathon! Daddy like! Every year I vow to go to the Hawaii 11:00 PM tip off. I love the teams that tip off at 6 AM, 8 AM and 10 AM EST. Tonight is going to be awesome. UK/Duke, Georgetown/Maryland and Kansas/Michigan State.
excited to see possible future sixer jamal murray tonight.
Quote from: phattymatty on November 12, 2015, 05:53:27 PM
tuesday Gtown at MD. boner.
great game so far.
melo would look good in sixers gear next year.
murray looked like the truth earlier too.
murray is really smart and makes such sound plays but last night and the couple of other times ive seen him he seems so unathletic/slow to me that he will be exposed in the league
melo is a good college player but will be awful in the nba
i did not think murray looked slow at all yesterday.
correct me if im wrong but this is a 1 player draft and its not even close...all about simmonDs
pretty much....especially for the sixers because there are no good guards once again
if they dont get simmonds i guarantee i will literally cry....i can tell right now....and if that happens then im OUT
watching KAT on the package when the wolves play makes me physically ill....but i cant stop...its like a train wreck....hes so farging good...he right now this second 15 games into his rookie year is already waaaaaay better than jah will every be at any point in his career
its just not fair
OUT as in me with the flyers or OUT as in you want fraud hinkie gone
OUT as in i go from 95% thinking this plan wont work to 100%....like its over.....god hates them
the plan was based on ping pong balls falling in their favor...it was nothing more than probability
instead of relying on random chance, they couldve, you know, tried to win and shtein but no
the luck part is true but you have to give yourself the best possible chance....shooting to be .500 would have been idiotic...one day hopefully youll relaize this...
id much rather be the sixers than the bucks right now....but id also rather be the wolves than the sixers
overall the plan was a real good idea....problem was it was being implemented by a philadelphia sports team
theres no guarantee trying to win wouldve led to sustained mediocrity....theres more than 1 way to win the nba
getting a superstar via the draft is the most likely way, sure, but how the sixers are doing that is just more overt than anything in history. youre on year 3 of this and they at best are going to have a 30% chance of it working.
Quote from: MDS on November 19, 2015, 11:55:20 AM
theres no guarantee trying to win wouldve led to sustained mediocrity....theres more than 1 way to win the nba
yes there are multiple ways to win in the nba....the sixers choose one of those ways which also happened to be the best for where their franchise was at the time as they had no chance to attract free agents and no assets to trade
you dont like the sixers way because from a morality standpoint you cant stomach losing on purpose....which makes no sense because you are the first person to cheer for tanking in an individual season but somehow two or three seasons is the worst thing ever....phillies are doing the same thing the sixers are doing right now but you love their "process"
the sixers are still tanking because they havent gotten anything out of the plan....if they had KAT and wiggins or hell just a healthy embiid then you wouldnt say they were tanking...they havent been any worse than minnesota since hinkie got here and in fact they have never had even the second worse record in the nba since hinkie arrived....so far minny has gotten lucky and they havent.....thats the bottom line....the plan itself has been fine
and i say this everytime but hinkie has been here for two seasons and 15 games....that is NOTHING in nba time
yeah they really should have kept Hawes, Young, Lou Williams core together and TRIED harder
ben Simmonds is a man amongst boys....so fun to watch....just a crazy good passer
bill walton doing the maui invatational....god do i love listening to him
also sain johns is losing to vanderbilt 23-2
TMAC and Alaa calling Nova/St. Joe's tonight on CBSSN
wasn't rafferty working for fox last year?
they let him do cbs games
big difference between fox and espn is fox lets its stars be stars and encourages them to be seen anywhere and everywhere....at espn nothing can be bigger than the brand
GPII just threw down a ridiculous dunk over 2 Jayhawks.
This is why I love college basketball! January 4 and this OU/KS game has a national title feel to it. Brent and Dickie V. may have heart failure before this thing ends.
Yeah I'm not a college hoops fan until March Madness but this game was nuts
I needed a drink after watching that one
That game was bananas. Buddy Hield can farging stroke it. Actually, OU can flat out shoot. I'm always weary of teams that score that much from the outside come tourney time, but I wouldn't want to face them on a neutral floor if I were Kansas.
OU made two cross country/pacific trips to Hawaii in two weeks. Played in the Pearl Harbor Classic, went back to Norman and came back here for the Diamond Head Classic. Yes, OU can can shoot.
Looking forward to LSU/Kentucky tonight
Aaron Harris...wow.
who
lol sparty
but its eron
yeah it was
Watching Cal/Oregon right now and Bill Walton is banging on a glockenspiel and quoting Mark Twain....during game play. I love his retarded hippie ass.
So Calipari just got a double tech and tossed less than 2:30 into the game. No idea why he was that pissed because it came after a foul was called against SC.
holy farg Brandon Ingram is going OFF!
penn state about to knock off iowa.
and 7 kids stormed the court.
carolina is way too long and big and will eventually wear out duke but the level of this game compared to nova temple couldn't be a wider gap
also Ingram really struggling
Brandon Ingram has shtein the best tonight and wow Bryce Johnson is playing one of the best college games I've seen in years
Dude had a double double in about 15 min, very well could go 30/20. I'm amazed that Duke is keeping it as close as they are this late.
Quote from: Sgt PSN on February 17, 2016, 10:33:21 PMI'm amazed that Duke is keeping it as close as they are this late.
duke can score with anyone...not being a smart ass at all but pts matter in basketball....that's why they are this close....that said still think Carolina wins by 15 or 20
I only say that because they aren't really deep and they're already down 1 player to injury and Plumlee is on the bench with 4 fouls because he had one of the most epic brainfarts of all time.

Solid Duke counter though
Marcus Paige especially but Caroline's guards have been horrible
Is there a whiter name than Grayson?
yeah ingram is taking some garbage shots. also plume's head is the size of nerlens if you counted the hair as more head.
Holy dookie.
holy farg
still can't believe his bad berry and Paige were tonight
wow i'm normally down with let them play but roy should have taken a TO to set something up. that was gross.

with how brain dead their guards were tonight not sure it would have mattered
I'm also really happy and shocked that they let them play at the end there...cbb refs always try and decide the game at the end
berry Paige Britt had 19
Allen and Kennard had 38
great job by Roy at the post game game presser saying that you can't blame the refs on the last play that it's just sour grapes
think he was crying tho
may have had a heart attack

Almost immediately after the buzzer, as he was walling over to shake Shashefski's hand, he looked at a ref and tapped his forearm...basically asking for a foul. He wasn't going crazy or anything, but he definitely made a half assed complaint.
Brandon ingram has been absolutely atrocious today
Other than the first few minutes, he was really bad...all the way down to their final possession. Not gonna kill him for 1 bad game, especially on the road against a good team, but he was really freaking bad.

WTF? Saw the final score but had no idea was this bad at the half.
I'd be sold on Simmons if the only thing you showed me was footage of him passing out of the low post. Unreal feel for where his teammates are and his passes are exactly where they need to be. If these guys could hit wide open 3s they'd be up by 40.
How did LSU actually recruit Ben Simmons anyway? How did they convince him to go there? Because they are not good at all. I hope to hell the kid is getting some world class trim while he's there.
his boy is the assistant there
I figured there had to have been some sort of personal connection there somewhere, because that squad might not win 5 games without him.

Revenue
unless they put the games at campus sites those things lose money...and i cant imagine the espn deal to air the title game is for anything. the conferences might even have to pick up production costs.
the acc, big 10, etc. can make bank during the conf tourneys. but i dont see how the big sky can.
wowowoow Michigan at the buzzer
i just watched that game with some indiana people in my office kitchen. pretty hilarious.
i couldnt believe how pure that shot was....barely hit the net and dook was mad covered
neither of us could care less but me and my girl have been watching this cincy UConn game for the last half hour and just went running around our bed room screaming when that shot was hit
Was she naked?
i was there...so no
lol
temple vs. a team that just played 4 ots...this should go swimmingly
Buddy farging Heild, omg!!
Oh wow.....I don't think he got it off in time.
Nope. What a farging heartbreaker for Heild/Oklahoma. That's what happens when you miss a farging layup though.
What a night of basketball! Topping it off watching the 7'6 freak from UC Irvine.
shtein! Cal/Utah down to the wire.
My lord LSU way to show up today
Losing by 40 and have only 28pts with less than 3:00 to go

I'm sure you all stayed up until 3 AM to watch Hawaii win the Big West. GO BOWS!

they did it because ratings have been down for the show, so this is their formula to get them back up

I thought Nova would be the first #2 to choke out.
Lol Spartans.
CSB gave Oklahoma a run for their money, but they're gonna come up short.
I have never seen an opening round like we've seen the past two days. Now WVU sent packing.
Northern Iowa could do this.

But I'm farging crushing the betting

on the bright side 4 morons from here and getting farged up in vegas, so theres that
I was busy doin shtein and only turned on the Nova game a little while ago. They were up 35. Now they're up 23.
#philly
oh look, lil jay finally got out of the 2nd round
hip hip hooray
Isn't it his 5th sweet 16 in 11 years?
they've made at least 4 under j dub.....including a final four...no idea what the lil guy is talking about
its the first time in a few years, good for him
i didnt mean it was his first time ever. i knew they made it out in the glory days where they were blocking temple from joining the big east.
the whole narrative of them being huge chokers doesn't even make sense.....even the best schools have gone thru a sweet sixteen "drought" and villanova is not by ant stretch a "best" school
I know it's literally next to impossible to give up a 35 point lead, but I really thought they were headed there. They froze up and if Iowa had any shooting ability whatsoever, that could have gotten really uncomfortably close.
Good win, though.
PS: I hope they beat Miami by 50.

then who the farg cares about them...nobody cares about delaware hoops
let them play paddycake with georgetown on the main line and stab philly/temple in the back....take your sweet 16 berth....enjoy white republicans
(http://www.si.com/longform/2015/1985/villanova/img/image7a.jpg)
i think i hate nova more than any team in the world
its one thing for jerrah to be a POS who signs woman beaters or for the giants to be arrogantly smug or for the mets to be cheap puerto rican trash....you expect those things....you dont expect to be shived by your brother
Of course you do ... Obviously Nova blocks Temple. Same reason Florida blocks FSU from joining SEC, Xavier blocked Dayton from Big East etc. It's what happens.
They're obviously the least "philly" of the philly schools but they play in the big5 (and Jay has promoted that unlike Lappas). They're interwoven in the city's bball tradition for that reason and their ties with the schools.
I grew up rooting for Nova - my dad went there. But I generally also pull for the other city teams as well. Maybe if I had gone to Nova/Temple/SJU I would get the hate shared.

tcu joined the big 12 when a&m left....temple helped la salle get into the a10 in the 90s.....usc/ucla and duke/unc/nc st all coexist in shared recruiting territory
i get teams looking out for their own. its all in the game. but you know the big 5 is different than anything else in college sports. nova doing what they did, especially when everyone else in the conference wanted temple, is an act of betrayal. its evil. its anti philly. they as a school can rot in the ground.
Most of those were created way before this current collegiate atmosphere. It's why you see SCar blocking Clemson and so on down the line. It happens regularly right now. I would be surprised if the roles were reversed and temple reached out to nova.
Like I said, maybe if I went to one of them I'd feel differently. I care the most about nova but was still rooting for TU and will be pulling for SJU tonight.
nova is not on the level of the city schools....they are more a Delaware valley smarty jones type philly thing but to say they aren't 100% philly is silly
also when shtein goes down btwn schools it's usually an admin or coaches doing....Villanova or Georgetown didn't do it Rollie massamino or John Thompson were behind it
What a meltdown by UNI
what the farg is this game
that was the most insane thing ive ever seen
then some white dude on wiscy hits a buzzer jawn
brackets!
Hard to lose in regulation up 3 with 12 seconds left.
up 12 with 45 seconds left is beyond ridiculous
I never thought anything would top md duke gone in 60 seconds but this somehow easily did
i saw temple come back from 10 down with 300 to go in the a10 semis and thought that was insane (fun fact: that was the last year they made the elite 8, it was 2001)
but yea what a&m did tops everything, including the duke one, which was of course better than temple's
and after all of that theres another half to go in the joe game. they just need to extend this thing to 128. who cares.

not going into the tourney....that had to have been when they didn't look like they would make the tourney
Yeah in Jan
in other words at a time when not a single person would or did bet them
Vegas superbook said they have a few tickets on them
lies
BET OF THE NIGHT: At the start of the 2nd half, a bettor bet $2,400 on Virginia to win straight up at @WilliamHillUS. Would have won $80.
I'll never understand bets like that. If you've got $2400 to burn why risk it for $80?!
Maybe he had a sure thing playing baccarat later?

wish i was a fan of a team that literally could win it all every year no matter how good they are.
that plus every team they played this year has zero chance of winning it all every year
what does this mean.

also dirty little secret but Syracuse over their history has choked way more than they have won anything

ND can't miss. Thanks for missing the 1h bet by a half a point, NC

Salty lil guy

Seriously. It's like a cavern. I know where the seats are because I've sat in them for the Eagles game and a few other Texans games. Not exactly good viewing for the way the hoops was set up
so you watch it on tv there
going > not going
Or we have a party at my neighbors and don't have to deal with the traffic there.
No real public transportation here buddy

You've confused me. What could I be lying about?
They've had streets closed down and are still shutting more down today. The area has been overwhelmed with people. No thanks.

You miss it don't you
My dad (nova grad) is heading down tomorrow. They owe UNC for 05/09. It'll be an interesting style contrast. Metrics slightly favor Nova but UNC is not a great matchup for them.
Fun game so far except for the fact that Berry can't miss and the refs are calling touchy bullsht
Helluva game so far.
Wow
They're choking it away
Come on, you've got to nut it up...
WHAT A GAME!
Oh
My
Godddddd
Insanity!!!
HOLY shtein
Games don't get any better than that. Way to go Nova.
Buzzer beater 3 from a few feet behind the line. Awesome ending.
just a heads up i had 4-6 in the pool so the fact that nova won on a 3 is just....i hate my life
That's the most incredible championship ending I think I've ever seen. Props to Nova.
lotta rich white republicans gonna be happy tonight
That was farging awesome

Ouch
im not sure if im more bitter about missing out on $330 or these fraudulent suburban backstabbers winning a title in the most memorable and amazing way possible but holy crap am i bitter
Yeah that's a double nut kick
At least the $330 would've helped the bitterness
those $100 ill get from you in september will not make up for this
local stations going the live chopper shtein from lancaster ave. kill me now. just kill me.
but good thing is there is nothing going on in the actual CITY so there
That was amazing
Good job by Smarter Than Everyone Else Roy Williams to not have someone guarding the inbounds
Lecture people some more on how great you are, pal.
I almost never watch NCAA basketball. Online I saw Nova took the lead and seemed to be staying ahead in the 2nd so I thought I should take a spin down to the local Hooters. Got there with about 6 minutes left and decided I'd root for Nova, being from Philly and all. Damn glad I did, amazing finish. We did it! WE WON!! WooooHoooo!
:-D
Truly a great night. Those last 6 minutes were simply amazing. Ochefu grabbing the mop from the kid easing the tension was priceless. Pretty funny as he mopped the baseline he was basically saying "plays coming right this way". He also set a nice screen to free up Archiwatchamacallit.
Excellent ending to a bizare tournament.
Sensational win. Jenkins' three is like every kid's playground dream come true. Okay, this is for the national championship... boom!
i am running on fumes. what a tourney run for this team.
I told my new boss (who was my old boss) not to expect too much from me today. He was kind enough to say he doesn't expect much from me, period, so I got that going for me.
I went to a philly bar to watch it...got bent up....didn't get home til 130 didn't go to bed until 230 and was on my normal 5:12 train
so suck it up bitches
2 dudes not from philly using a non philly team winning a title as an excuse to get obliterated
good job

5 block parade....wow
what a legacy
Would Temple's have been longer?
just goes to show you jay wrights utmost respect for the big 5
one block for themselves and one block in honor of the other four city schools

i know you couldnt find temple without a gps but going from the north end of campus to city hall is much more than 5 blocks
but temple will never win anything ever so who cares
Mmmhmmm yeah I don't know where Temple is. Maybe one day you can take me on a tour?
I think it's sad that there are people from Philly out there who aren't celebrating this win because they went to another school.
I understand the rivalries that would generally preclude them from being happy for the fans/students/alumni of the school, but this was a regional win for us.
The city gets so few opportunities to celebrate champions that is just seems like a waste of energy to not just tip your cap and say, "great win, guys."
Honestly, I'd cheer for any team from Philly winning regardless of my preferred allegiances. Even the Sixers or Temple.
It's a Philly thing. Quit being petty and just enjoy a rare win for the Delaware Valley.

I don't care either way, it didn't ruin my enjoyment of the run. I've always rooted for all the city schools. My earliest memory of college hoops was watching Nova/GTown. Nova to me is as Philly as Temple/St. Joes/Drexel etc.
Lot of argument now, where does that rank as one of the greatest moments in sports history.
Well, the game itself was special. Both teams were playing at such a high level. UNC sprinted out, Nova caught and passed them, then the Heels re-caught them at the end with an insanely improbable three. Then the playground bomb finish. It's still fresh in everyone's minds, but if you watch the game again, you'll see just how great the play was on both sides.
Unless you're a self loathing weasel of a person, you should be happy for the city and the big 5.
friday + national champs parade = win (and a sick day call out)
it's stupid not to root for them but I feel like the parade is a little much.... to me parades should be for the pro franchises
and it's definitely on the short list of best sports moments...it's pretty much the bill mazerowski of college basketball....it's definitely top 10 and probably higher

I had this convo with my buddy about an hour ago. I said it's similar to a walk off HR to win the WS...used Joe Carter as an example. I said it's bigger because the tourney is a bigger deal than baseball is, he disagreed. Basically we both agreed the Jenkins shot ranks up there in the top 10 but his argument is it's not as big of a deal as a walk off HR to win the WS because BB is bigger than NCAA basketball.
carters was only game six do it doesn't really compare to mazerowski or Jenkins
also mazerowskis happened when baseball was like the nfl is now
One of the biggest plays ever that hasn't entered the conversation is Malcom Butlers pick in the SB. That won them the game.
yeah definitely huge but it's hard to compare that to a scoring play that literally ended a game
even Jenkins shot loses significant luster if it even happens with .8 left on the clock
if nova is down one or two when Jenkins hits that shot I think it's probably the goat imo

I cant really debate the parade opinion but I have to think college basketball would be the exception if there is one. both on how huge the tourney is and how big the city is on the game.
