That was last season when the Illini mounted a hell of a comeback, almost winning the Championship game. The only returning starter worth a shtein for the Illini is Brown.
Two words - Sean May.
And quit yer bitching. The Heels lost all 5 starters and their 2 bench guys with the most minutes. Their most experienced player is David Noel, who averaged 3.something points per game last season.
HA!
What was Augustine's line in that game? 0 pts, 18min, 5 touch fouls.
I say again, HA!
21 points in 75 seconds :o
Stalwart in defeat
Scheyer's 52 points not enough
By Bob Sakamoto
Tribune staff reporter
Published December 28, 2005, 11:19 PM CST
Jon Scheyer put on the greatest performance in the 45-year history of the Proviso West tournament Wednesday night—and it wasn't enough.
Despite setting a single-game tournament record with 52 points, No. 1 Glenbrook North was upset by Proviso West 85-79 before a standing-room crowd of 4,300 that rose collectively and gave Scheyer a standing ovation after he fouled out with nine seconds left.
Glenbrook North (11-1) trailed 71-58 with 1 minute 24 seconds to go when Scheyer went on an amazing run with his future coach, Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, watching from press row.
Scheyer scored 21 points in 1:15—that's 75 seconds—hitting five three-pointers and six of seven free throws. His final three—from 28 feet—brought the Spartans within 81-79 with nine seconds left, but he fouled out trying for his third steal in that span. Scheyer was 6 of 8 from three-point range and 20 of 22 from the line.
"I just blocked out all the shots I had missed before and played with my heart," said Scheyer, who also eclipsed the tournament's career records for points, three-pointers and free throws. "I wasn't even thinking. But, it wasn't enough."
Wow. Wouldn't you know that farger Ratface would get him in recruiting.

That was a pretty good game. Nova lead the entire game but never really pulled too far ahead. L'ville made a couple of runs in the final 10 minutes but every time the came up with a big play Nova responded with a bigger one. Jason Frazier was huge for them in the 2nd half.
Yeah, Dook needs to get its ass kicked. They've been squeaking by as it is.
Welcome to reality.

Considering I go to Wake Forest, think about how much I adore him.
No matter though, we're so good this year we'll make up for it.
:-X
We finally won an ACC game!! Yay!!
Even though it was at home to FSU and we blew a 14-point 2nd half lead to squeak out a 3-point win :boom :boom :boom
missouri stormed the court last night against an unranked kansas team...kinda reminded me of joe gibbs gatorade bath in week two of this year

i really think that i hate him the most of any sports figure, other than TO.
when reddick was a junior in high school...i went down the the kenner league...which is a summer basketball league at georgetown...reddick came out for pre game warm ups and proceeded to hit 47 straight three pointers...i personally counted from when he hit his first 12 and a buzz started to go around the arena...most amazing thing i ever saw in basketball
i hope he dies, how 'bout dem apples?
I don't like Duke, and the kid looks like a prick, but you have to respect the skills.

He throws them up 5 feet behind the nba line on a regular basis.
the only reason he's hated so much more than most players is that he looks like a normal dude. you wouldn't automatically think he's a baller if you saw him on the street, and that gets dudes jealous.
i hate him because he plays for Duke and he's a smug little punk. he won't be ish in the NBA and i'll love that.
correction: the only reason hes hated so much is he plays for duke....if you just saw these two who would you hate more?

Intro:
Brad: I only got a 1420, I can't get into Princeton
Larry: That's why you go to Dook you ugly mother f**ker. Ugh, Maryland. Blue Devil killers. You know who you're real rivals are we bring it two ya, c'mon.
Verse 1:
Larry:
First off f**k your school and your chicks are lame/
Maryland Terrapins come equipped with game/
You proud to be a Dookie wearing blue and white/
But Nik just nutted on you bitches, now you're scarred for life/
The whole nation just saw the weak hearts we ripped/
All you little Cameron Crazies are some corny ass bitches/
We came to Cameron and sh**ted on your idol/
Next mission, win the ACC title, you know the cycle/
JJ Redick hiding your acne looks pathetic, why don't you use Stridex or even Azalaic/
Sheldin Williams please get a makeover soon, half Chewbacka half Ken Griffey from the Simpsons' cartoon/
As long as Gary's here this s**t is on for life, so don't let JJ get high tonight/
Blue Devils murdered on the court for real, f**k with Gary and get your clout stealed
Chorus:
You better flop when you play the Terps/
Call the riot cops when you play the Terps/
You paid the refs but your buddies couldn't save ya/
Now you bout to feel the wrath of our savior/
Dookies we lit em up
Larry talking:
Check this out, I don't even know why I'm on this track. Ya'll Dookies ain't on my level. We should just let Mike Grinnon ride on you Dook Blue Devil bitches.
Verse 2:
Get out the lane yo, get out the lane yo/
Stop trying to pull the flop/
Their feet are never set, Shav with a stiff arm to the chest/
Coach K need to get spanked right for paying refs/
Plus you recruit illegally, and I know that you hearing me/
Plus all the time on ESPN, and Myron Piggy/
We'll spank your program you can take it to the bank/
Guard your rank and watch it f**kin drop in the tank/
JJ weaker than a little girl, we coming through p**sy/
And what about K, why does he act so mushy?/
With the steady power, throwing it down low to Willy Bower/
The taste, pretty sour we make sure you remember how lit em up.
Chorus again
Verse 3:
Peep how we do it, keep it real, its elementary still, this ain't no one game fluke all you Dookies standing shocked with your mouths open/
K out-coaching Gary? You in the clouds hoping/
Smoking dope before the game watch as JJ tokes and gets high/
But we brought him down to Earth and gave that ass a try/
He's always draining threes but it's funny to me/
He puts up nothing but bricks when he faces Gary/
He'll soon be in the hall of fame/
Gary Williams everybody better know his name/
They should change Cameron's name to Comcast South/
Cause we came and took over your house/
Not even them home refs, could cramp our style/
13 point underdogs we just took it and smiled/
Now we bout to set the record straight/
We still the classless thugs from Maryland that you love to hate/
Mother f**ker we lit em up.
Brad: Yo Larry did you hear that rumor?
Larry: What rumor?
Brad: About all the Dook fans hating Mexicans?
Larry: I thought that was NC State fans?
Brad: No they hate black people.
Larry: Ahhhh.
Brad: There also poor.
Larry: Oh.

I got to see almost the entire first half and had no idea who was going to win. Nova was pretty much in control but couldn't pull away. Lowry was all over the freaking court in the first half though. I seriously think they cloned hiim. He was everywhere.
I'm glad to see they won though. :yay

best moment of the game, besdies sailisburys monster dunk, was some drummer for the st blows band yelling a member of our student section from up top. we responded with a loud chant of icehole icehole and the guy proceded to put his hands on his hips and scowl. what a dork.

The geographic range of St. Joe's/Villanova/Temple is probably bigger than Duke/UNC/NCSU.
Wake is about 70 miles west of Duke/UNC as well.

Gator Country? I live in Jacksonville, NC not Florida dumbass. :P
And my original point wasn't that Philly is some sort of college b-ball mecca or anything. Just that it's got a pretty solid group of teams all within close proximity of each other. Sure, there's some other cities that have that going on too, but I don't know if any have as many as 5 schools there. The Big 5 is pretty unique as far as I know.
Jacksonville, NC = swamp = gator country
Actually, there are gators in your area, Sarge.
Never seen 'em. I know with the swamp land around here there's lots of snakes, but didn't know we had gators too. It really doesn't matter. This place sucks. I can't wait to leave and there's nothing going on here that would make me want to actually learn about it.

Nova blows a double-digit lead at Cincy then scores with seconds left to win....
Georgetown already did that (in fact, the only ones to beat DU this year).
I'd say Temple gets annihilated on Saturday, but DU hasn't been able to put teams away this year.
I don't follow Nova close but try to watch as many games as possible when they're on, does anyone know if there's a chance Sumpter could be back by tourney time? I had him down as a loss this season but the ESPN broadcast crew sounded optimistic that he might return.
it's not a matter of 'if' he can return but of 'will he'
the thinking one way (the practical way) being, you take a medical redshirt this year and play your entire senior season.
the other thinking being, he comes back for the NCAA run to finish his career with the players he came in with, also having a chance to win a title, but your senior season is only a month.

Gotcha, any idea which way he's leaning? Only deficiency Nova has (as I see it) is size.
Georgetown is gonna make a run in the tourney. I'm going to watch them squish Syracuse tomorrow afternoon.
Sumpter wants to play, but Jay wants him to think about it. obviously, when you seperate your heart from the issue, the practical thing to do is to come back fresh next year for a full season as a senior. but he really wants to finishe with Ray, Foye, and Frazer, and he also thinks he can help them win the tournament.

Villanova's Sumpter will not return this season
Posted: February 28, 2006
Associated Press
VILLANOVA, Pa. -- Villanova forward Curtis Sumpter decided Tuesday to take a medical redshirt and sit out the rest of the season.
Sumpter, a second-team All-Big East selection last season, will return to the fourth-ranked Wildcats next year for his senior season.
He tore his anterior cruciate ligament on Oct. 19 and hasn't played this season. It was the second time in seven months Sumpter had surgery to repair the same torn ACL. He first hurt his knee in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
"I am working hard to get back and help my classmates," Sumpter said. "I feel like I am getting stronger and faster each day. But I feel the best decision is to continue working hard and to try to help my team in other ways over the final weeks of this season. I'm making the decision that is best for my future."
Sumpter finished third on the team last season in scoring with a 15.3 average.

It's safe to assume by uconn you really meant University Of Illinois.
This sounds familiar... Redick was 10 for 28 and 4 for 14 from beyond the arch... taking more shots from 3-land than any of his other teammates took at ALL. Hmmm...
Sounds like NBA material to me......
ddi any of you fools see the g dub game today? best game of the year. sneech.
blame k for reddicks fade...the ridiculous amount of minutes hes given him this year is coming back to bite him now...there were many blowout games this year where reddick was getting 38-39 minutes
A common flaw to Rat-Face's strategy. Plus, since those Dookie asshats don't air condition Cameron, no depth = loss.
UConn #1, Nova #2, Duke #3 (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=2356392)

no chance. even without pops playing gw wins. they're good.
if we shoot the ball well, we can compete with anyone in the country. i know that for a fact, ive seen about 25 temple games this year. the problem is, we hardly ever shoot the ball well. im not prediciting a win, but if we play offensivley like we did today, were definatley going to be in the game.
thats true, they did keep up with duke for most of the game, and that's basically the only temple game i saw all year. but i've seen lots of gw games this year, and they are from top to bottom, the fastest team i've seen in years.

blah blah blah
and if every team in the nation that can score more than 70 pts could play defense like temple they could beat anyone
gw and temple have such a contrast in styles. gw runs and runs and runs and temple plays s very slow pace. the last like 5 times gw has easily won. but no pops makes a huge difference, theyve almost lost to st bona and charlotte. if we hit our shots, its gonna be a game.
this just in...if temple scores some pts they can win...welcome to the last 25 years of temple basketball

Yay! IGY said I was gay! My day is complete.
still mad early but the cuse is workin uconn
Temple's up 31-23 at half over GW
Christ, McNamara already has 11 assists, 3 min into the 2nd half.
he's the mayor of scranton, you know.
gw is ice cold, but they are getting about 5 possessions per trip down the court.
Ah yes, the Temple matchup zone. So confusing, even the Temple players don't understand it.
bro we be up 10 digits on the numba 6 team, respec it
uconn tied it up.
cuse/uconn going into ot.
uconn was up 3 with around 15 seconds left so i'm assuming cuse hit a 3 to tie it up....following the game on yahoo isn't easy.
MDS U. knocked off GW.
Party on North Broad. Strawberry Hill for errrbody.
its spring break, phreak. half the students are still passed out. i wanted to go to cinci, but but friend convinced me it wasnt worth it. i actually believed it, but now, if we win, im gonna kill him.
ill be trying to go our eventual tourney game. hopefully we get in the greensboro location, or even dayton. those are the only locations we can bus to. we have no shot at getting in philly, uconn and nova have em.
Cuse up by 2, 10 seconds left, UConn has the ball
Cuse wins
WOW.
if Villanova can win the Big East tournament = #1 overall seed.
Unless 'Nova loses tonight, they'll definitely be a #1 seed.
F'n UConn choking. Ahaha! Love it.
:flipoff Huskies!
Nova's a #1 seed no matter what. but they can be the #1 overall if they win the Big East tourney
fight fight for the cherry and white....roll that ball and hit the line....all the temple stars will shine...
temple wins, wow. i've seen a lot of gw games this year so i've been kind of rooting for them. but they're in regardless so go temple.
the coach of some bubble team just kicked his dog
george mason is out now. with unc-wilmington winning their conference and this, i think they're in the top 2 teams not in.
mason was out anyway
gary williams is the dog kicker right now...couldnt be going worse for md...cuse and temple winning within ten minutes of each other just gobbled up two spots
UMd better make some noise in the ACC tourney, or they're NIT bound. The guys in the MVC gotta be hating life too. They were hoping for 5, that's not looking too likely now.
i think LaSalle can win the A-10 now
i dont think gw being out changes anything regarding lasalle...they played them tough at gw with pops in the lineup so there was no reason they couldnt have beaten them with pops on a neutral floor
the a-10 tourney was wide open the minute pops went down...gw isnt that good with him without him they are pretty bad
good point. i would like to see Steven Smith get at least one game in the NCAA tournament
id rather see mardy collins go.
yeah me three...belly of the beast high represent...i am definitely rooting for them...also would be cool to have the three philly teams in the semis

i think mason was in still if gw is the only a-10 team to go. i still think they have a chance, they were ranked two weeks ago and only lost twice to the same team who has 20+ wins, it's hard to fall out that fast.
that zesty ass conference was getting one the whole time...hofstra and mason both were out...mason not even making the final was really awful...i dont think it was even close
st joes owning the billikens right now
philly = owning the a-10
Parlay (3 teamer)
Hoyas -3
Nova -9.5
LaSalle -1.5
i changed my mind, mason is still in.

they're actually starting to pull away, but i'm not getting my hopes up yet because the last game against osu they were up by like 15 and still lost.
Only up 49-47 now. I predict they lose by 15+.

i missed it when it happened, but it sounds like Allen Ray farged up his eye big time, they took him on a stretcher to an ambulance and sent him to the hospital
I think his eye popped out of it's socket. Hopefully that's all, because at long as there was no structural damage, they can pop it back in and he'll be able to see again... I think.

Ray will be ready for the tourney....Full recovery expected. Per ESPN
'Nova is the #1 seed in the "Minneapolis" bracket and will play Monmouth at the Wachovia Center on Friday..
UConn is also playing in Philly..
Penn is the #15 seed in the "Atlanta" bracket and got a tough draw playing Texas.
Did you see the Penn players' reaction when they got Texas?
Hilarious.
Air Force. :sly
looks good for georgetown
I can't believe GW is an 8 seed. And they get Duke in the 2nd round. That's unbelieveable. They had ONE regular season loss..
they had one the weakest non con skeds. they didnt beat anyone. their unproven, but probably shoulda gotten a 6 or 7 seed.

yo i want huggins. hes a drunk icehole, but who cares. he wins.
it would be an absolute slap in the face of chaney if they hired huggins...huggins graduation rate at cincy was often ZERO...he didnt give two shteins about his players as people...they were a means to his end...chaney was all about making his kids into better people...teching them life lessons as well as basketball...that IS chaneys legacy...and to dirty that up with someone like huggy bear would be a huge mistake imo
im sick of losing. or the nit. same thing. huggy wins.

QuoteDunphy headed to Owls
It is to be announced today that the coach will leave Penn for Temple.
By Mike Jensen
Inquirer Staff Writer
By now, this barely qualifies as news, but it is happening: Temple will announce today that Penn coach Fran Dunphy is moving to North Broad Street to become the Owls' next basketball coach, replacing John Chaney, according to multiple sources.
Temple has scheduled a news conference at 3 p.m. today.
Dunphy did not return a phone call last night, but, according to sources, he was calling his Penn players to inform them of his decision.
About to become the first man to be a head coach at two Big Five schools, Dunphy is one of only six Division I men's coaches in the city who won 300 games at a single school. He had a 310-163 record in 17 seasons as Penn's coach. In the last 14 seasons, Dunphy won 10 Ivy League titles.
Dunphy will be just the fourth Temple coach in the last 54 years, following Chaney, Don Casey and Harry Litwack. Both Chaney and Litwack have been inducted in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, and Casey went on to coach in the NBA.
A 1970 La Salle graduate and also a graduate of Malvern Prep, Dunphy, 57, will become the only coach to spend time at four of the Big Five schools. He also has a master's degree from Villanova.
Dunphy, considered the leading candidate since Chaney announced his retirement March 13, did not announce his decision yesterday at Penn's annual men's basketball awards banquet, saying, "There's probably a 2,000-pound elephant sitting in the back of the room."
After the midday banquet, Comcast SportsNet asked Dunphy how difficult the last month had been for him.
"Well, it's always stressful," he said. "I will say that to you. Very, very stressful. But it is what it is. You've got to handle it. It is not anything other than change. And if it's going to happen, change is going to be good for some, not so good for others. But for you personally, it is what it is. You've got to make the best of it."
The Quakers went to the NCAA tournament nine times under Dunphy, but they always were low seeds. They won only one tournament game, in 1994 over Nebraska.
Over the years, Dunphy had been approached by quite a few schools. Many times, he did not show an interest. He did get involved in talks with Ohio State and Penn State and was considered a backup choice at Georgetown when John Thompson III took the job. He had several serious flirtations with his alma mater, almost going to La Salle in 2004.
Before taking over at Penn, Dunphy had been an assistant coach at La Salle, American and Army. He also spent five years as the head coach at Malvern Prep.
It is not known what the makeup of Dunphy's Temple coaching staff would be. Dunphy has not addressed the subject.
I would've stayed at Penn.
He basically can't recruit at all at Penn. Even the A-10 is a step up from Penn.
Yeah, but he won't have to coach a bunch of stupid hoods.
uhhh its the ghetto, what do you expect. nothing but a bunch of yo-yo's and drunk college kids.
Yeah, but he won't have to coach a bunch of stupid hoods.
huh?
Temple is a ghetto school. Always has been. Always will be.
Plus, I'm just jealous because PSU basketball is such a complete joke, despite no lack of funding and a very nice home arena in which to play. So, don't mind me.
Also, Temple knocked PSU out the last miracle time they made the tourney.
are hoods anything like goons?
im lost here....so all people from the ghetto are hoods and stupid?
yes. i was at temple star chinese food yesterday on broad and dimaond, and these two teenage black girls came in with what looked to be a little sister or cousin, and they were extreamly loud and rude and constantley cursing and making fools of themselves. i felt bad for the little girl, that she has to be with these two walking talking stereotypes.

No, I was taking a shot at Temple, specifically. It is not your job to defend the ghetto and all the homies therein at every possible chance of a verbal assault, so stop it. I have an irrational hate for Temple, and that's it.

yeah and the next 500 people that come thru that door wouldnt be loud and rude...and theres thousands more that dont go to that store at all and arent that way...its your ignorant mindset that identifies the ones that are and attributes that to all the people that live there...

Quincy Douby to Enter NBA Draft
GUARD WILL NOT RETURN TO RUTGERS FOR SENIOR YEAR
May 15, 2006
PISCATAWAY, NJ - Rutgers University guard Quincy Douby (Brooklyn, NY) will forego his senior season as a member of the Scarlet Knights' basketball team and will enter the NBA Draft, head coach Fred Hill announced today.
"I wish Quincy the very best as he pursues his dream of being an NBA first round draft pick," said Rutgers head coach Fred Hill. "Quincy is an extremely talented player whose hard work has put him in position to be a first round choice. When I first had the opportunity to work with Quincy last spring, he expressed his desires and goals to me, and we put together a plan to help him achieve those goals. Quincy was extremely dedicated to that plan, preparing and training with great intensity and purpose, and it translated into an absolutely phenomenal season. We won 19 games last season and Quincy was a major reason for that success.
"He was the first Rutgers player to ever be named All-BIG EAST first team which was a tremendous accomplishment," Hill continued. "Rutgers has not had a first round NBA draft pick since 1983 (Roy Hinson) and has not had a player make the NBA since John Battle in 1985. It would be fantastic if Quincy could be the next one. I have had the fortune of coaching some great players who have gone on to play in the NBA in Andre Barrett, Sam Dalembert and Eddie Griffin, as well as a number of potential NBA players such as Randy Foye, Allan Ray and Curtis Sumpter.
"Like these great players, Quincy was a pleasure to coach, and a fierce competitor. He is a gifted young man and I wish him nothing but the best and look forward to following his future success," Hill added.
The 6-3, 175-pound Douby led the BIG EAST and was sixth nationally in scoring at 25.4 ppg. He set Scarlet Knight single-season records for scoring (839 points) and three-point field goals made (116) along with the single game mark of nine three-pointers. A First-Team All-BIG EAST selection, Douby averaged a BIG EAST-best 27.0 ppg.in league play, which was the fourth-best scoring average in BIG EAST history. He was named Honorable Mention All-American by the Associated Press, was named to the CollegeInsider.com All-American team and was named District II Player of the Year by the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA).
Last month, Douby, who will depart Rutgers as the sixth leading scorer in school history (1,690 points), became just the second Scarlet Knight, and the first in 30 years, to win the prestigious Haggerty Award, given annually to the top player in the Metropolitan area.
"I'd like to thank Coach Hill and the Rutgers coaching staff for all of the hard work they have put in on my behalf," said Douby. "It's sad that I will forego my senior year but, in speaking with my family and others who I am close to about my future, we felt this was the best decision at this time. I will always be a part of the Rutgers family. The more success I have, the more I can give back to the Rutgers basketball program."
Ten for Tuesday: Clip and save these 2007 draft predictions
May 29, 2006
By Gregg Doyel
This week's Ten for Tuesday has a subliminal message, and that message is this: I'm good.
This time last spring, I predicted 10 rising juniors who hadn't entered the 2005 NBA Draft would enter in 2006. I got eight right, including an obscure Pitt reserve named Aaron Gray, coming off a sophomore year in which he averaged 4.3 points and 2.8 rebounds. Being right on Aaron Gray wasn't just good. It was scary.
But that's me. Scary. Boo! (Subliminally speaking, of course.)
Anyway ... here are this year's rising juniors who will enter the 2007 NBA Draft.
1. Ronald Steele, PG, Alabama: With all the underclassmen in this year's draft -- Marcus Williams, Kyle Lowry, Rajon Rondo, Darius Washington, Will Blalock, Curtis Stinson, Daniel Gibson and Jordan Farmar, should they all stay in -- Steele (14.3 ppg, 4.3 assists as a sophomore) will be among the top point guards in college next season. That makes him prime first-round material. He averaged 21 points and six assists in 2006 NCAA Tournament games against Marquette and UCLA.
2. Darian Townes, C, Arkansas: No, he's not the most skilled guy around. But he's averaging roughly 10 ppg, five rebounds and 1.6 blocks for his career. Ratchet up those numbers just a bit -- and with Ronnie Brewer gone, Townes should get more touches -- and the NBA will be intrigued by this 6-foot-10, 255-pounder.
3. Florida's trio of C Joakim Noah, SF Corey Brewer and PF Al Horford: All could have gotten their own listings, but that would have been too easy. All three studs will enter the 2007 draft, and it's likely that a fourth UF sophomore, PG Taurean Green, will test his own stock.
4. Folarin Campbell, SG, George Mason: Like his team -- a shamefully unknown commodity entering the 2006 NCAA Tournament -- Campbell was among the most impressive players in it. He averaged 15.4 ppg and shot 50 percent on 3-pointers in five games -- vs. foes including Michigan State, North Carolina, Connecticut and Florida -- to give the Colonial (and NBA scouts) a taste of what's to come in 2006-07.
5. Jeff Green and Roy Hibbert, Georgetown: Two more no-brainers. Both have a ways to go to become good pros -- SF Green needs more perimeter skills, C Hibbert more agility -- but with their NBA size and solid tools, they'd be silly not to at least gauge their draft stock in 2007.
6. Glen Davis, C, LSU: He came back to expand his shooting range, presumably. Not sure he'll get that chance, but no matter. He's a first-round pick whenever he wants to be, and my guess is he'll want to be in 2007.
7. J.R. Giddens, SG, New Mexico: Word from Loboland says Giddens still has that phenomenal stroke and is attacking the basket more than ever. If he puts up Danny Granger-like scoring numbers, or even close, he's gone.
8. Joseph Jones, PF, Texas A&M: It's hard to believe he didn't enter the draft this year, for exploratory reasons if nothing else. He'll go next season, especially if his sophomore numbers (15.3 ppg, 6.5 rpg) approach the 20-and-10 level, which is possible.
9. Gabriel Pruitt, PG, USC: Along with classmate Nick Young, Pruitt is one of the more talented guards out West. NBA scouts expected at least one, and possibly both, to enter the 2006 draft. There's always next year.
10. P.J. Couisnard, SG, Wichita State: Physically impressive if nationally underrated, Couisnard blew up in Tennessee's face for 20 points, nine rebounds and five assists in the Shockers' second-round NCAA Tournament win. He averaged 10.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and three assists for the season. If his career arc stays the same, those numbers will approach 15-8-4. Which means Couisnard will approach the 2007 draft.

This seems to be the trend setting norm for all of these "soon to be millionare" athletes to get in trouble with the law pre-draft and still get drafted..unreal

It's the leading story on Sportscenter right now. They said Bobby Knight struck a player in the face during last night's game. I was thinking he cold clocked someone or gave 'em the people's elbow or something. What'd he do? He gave some kid a little open hand slap on the chin.
Lame. :boo
It wasn't even that. He gave him a little pop under the chin so he'd focus and look at him instead of looking at the ground. Any other coach and this story doesn't break any papers' headlines
We go through this every year. And every year Temple wins the national championship. Might as well just end it now.

I know that is almost unimaginable for you being a Temple fan and what not.
St. Joe's wishes it has a fraction of the basketball history that Temple does
We wish we had Temple's football history too, but we sure as hell dont want anywhere near what the Temple football team has now either. And we dont even have a football team.
You also wish you had an actual arena. You guys are Villanova Jr. Jaqueer and Delonda suck.

Temple lost to Buffalo. Buffalo.
Pathetic. They suck.
Temple beat a horrible, horrible Rutgers team. By the looks of how they played tonight, and in the past, they might not win a Big East game. They let DeShone Kirkendoll drop 20. Does anyone outside of North Broad know who that is? Come on.
Good to see Fran get his first win in Cherry and White.
Next up: Long Beach State (I think I'm getting a press pass for this) and Western Michigan. Wowie Wee Waa, tough games.
Don't you know? Rutgers is a football school.
Georgetown lost again last night.
Temple killed Long Beach today. I got a press pass for this game, pretty interesting. Asked Dunphy about the changes he made since they started 0-2 and are now 2-2, gave a good answer. Since I wasn't actually covering the game, I just merely got the chance to see what it was like to do so, I really didn't have much reasponsiblity. It would be cool if the AP or Inqy ran the answer he gave to my question in their report.
In 20 years when I am the Phillies gm I will be sure to treat you like Strahan treated that bitch from ESPN.
I will also build the franchise around the closest player to Pat Burrell as I can find. It will be good times.
I have a better chance of one day covering the Phils than you do being their GM.
Well there is just one Phillies GM job and there are quite a few places you can end up covering the Phils.
So yea. That really says a lot.
The point was you will never GM of the Phillies. The rest is meaningless.
PR, GM, same thing.

TU-Western Michigan tonight at the LC. Last home game before break.
Fun time at the LC. Western Michigan sucks, they are full of prep school white boys who cheer like they just won the final four when they hit a layup in the first half. We do a little thing when a player fouls out, shout and spin our fingers around and then when he sits down, yell sit down. anyway, this annoying dude named reitz fouled out right at the under 4 tv timeout, so we all heald it for the 2+ minutes of the timeout. good stuff.
3-2 and gonna beat down cinci in AC on saturday. i think i got a hookup to go for free (right now its 15 bucks for tix and bus), so maybe ill be there. farg St. Hoe's.

Made the trip to AC to see Temple/Cinci. Good game for the first half. Then Temple missd 100 shots in a row, stopped playing defense, and blew the lead to the tune of a 14-0 Cinci run and 11 minutes without a basket. Awsome.
Good convo with the ref as he exited:
Me: Booo! You guys suck!
Ref: Yea, we couldn't make a basket in the second half.
Me: Shut up, you guys suck. Way to call a game!
They were right, though. But, still. The refing blew. But if Temple showed up for the last 20, or had a reliable player over 6'6, they would've won. Sergio Olmos, why!!
Fear the Turtle bitches.

Taurean Green and Corey Brewer carry the Gators with 24 and 18 pts respectively.
I watched the Nova Lasalle game earlier today. I am amazed that today was the first time that Villanova ever played at Lasalle. How is that possible?
What? You are mistaken. It might be the first time Nova played La Salle at Tom Gola Arena (because normally the game is moved to the Palestra, but considering there wasn't much interest, they might have just played it there).
that must be what it was, they never actually played at that arena before.

16 rebounds (8 offensive)
2 blocks
1 steal
1 assist
1 personal foul
Texas Tech blew a 20-pt lead then held on to win by 2. Knight has the most wins now...
Temple was up 16-4 on Duke, but ended up losing by around 20. Dionte Christmas was lookin good, then he tweaked his ankle and wasn't the same. Also, Temple has no size whatsoever and was destroyed in the paint and the boards, like they are everygame. Still, they missed 150 layups (no call on some fouls) and played stupid.
In short, Temple beat themselves. And the refs helped. Duke sucks this year and will be middle of the pack in the ACC. Don't expect to hear that from Dook Vitale, DookTV (ESPN) or the rest of the Coach K blowing media.
Oden vs Indiana:
30 minutes
21 pts (6/11, 9/10 FT)
5 rebounds (3 offensive)
4 blocks
4 fouls
he had one of the best blocks i've ever seen the other day, must have been 2 ft above the rim. disgusting.
Note that those 9/10 free throws were with his left hand, which isn't his normal shooting hand... :yay

Texas @ Villanova on CBS in a few minutes. Wright thinks Philadelphia fans will be there to cheer for Durant...
Sumpter just threw one down in Durants face.
Durant looked horrible. Nova held him in check. He needs to bulk up bigtime or he's going to get pushed around in the NBA.
That's one of the negatives with him. Despite all the Garnett/McGrady comparisons, he could also be the next Darius Miles. He's a nice consolation prize for the #2 pick, but Oden is the player we need...
hes 18 for god sakes
and hes currently in a wieght lifting program with the texas football teams strength coach...supposedly the guys some sort of legend in that field
i wouldnt want him to bulked up tho as it would possibly take away his handle and the quickness he has that will give him a huge edge at his size in the league
hes not mcgrady tho and imo the people that throw his name otu there are off..mcgradys handle is light years ahead of durants and always will be...mcgrady plays a guards game...durant is clearly a front court player
he a much quicker and shorter garnett

I would rather have Brandan Wright over Kevin Durant. They don't need another SF, I don't care if he's 6'9".
Yeah, I realized that when they came back from commercial break. I thought it was him.
I don't like Durant's handles. He isn't the best at putting the ball on the floor, and that will hurt him in the NBA if he plays the 3. You need to be able to get off your own shot in the NBA.

carolina probably wont drop at all....everyone lost this week
Both Kansas and Memphis won. They are 6th and 7th respectively. Either could move up ahead of UNC.
Memphis has a 17 game winning streak. Longest in the country.
i believe everyone ahead of them lost tho other than osu...and they all arent gonna drop behind memphis and kansas....plus carolina lost on the road in a tight game to the hottest team in the acc...not saying they wont drop but i would be slightly suprised if they did...perhaps behind kansas but everyone knows memphis is a fraud

Maryland sneaks back in the top 25 at no.24 in the AP poll.
Kansas also won again last night in a very close conference game against Oklahoma, 67-65. Kansas is a team to watch. Possibly a no.1 seed if they win thier tournament.
By the way, Memphis didn't move up, but Carolina dropped down so far they are now behind them in both polls.

I've got play in game winner. Holla.
I don't know how Maryland landed a no.4 seed the way they blowed against Miami.
drexel got robbed.
and only 6 mid-major at-larges is awful. takes some of the fun out of the whole thing. no way illinois and stanford should have made it.

i hope not. i won't be able to root for him.
you can root for Kobe then
if i hear one person whine about drexel im gonna puke
drexel didnt go 29-2 and have a fluke loss in the finals of their conference tourney (they didnt even make the finals of their tourney)
they arent a major program who was over .500 in conference
they finished FOURTH in the awful CAA...not first or second or even third but farging fourth...they belonged nowhere near the tournament imo
blias made a good point last night too in listing some of their losses...really bad ones specifically to rider for god sakes
they also lost to penn by 20 - odu by 30! - william and mary (yikes) by 15
you focus on their losses...i'll focus on their wins, they got screwed
what wins
they beat what....two tournament teams?
they had one real quality win this year villanova
at creighton was a nice win but they are another mid major not exactly a powerhouse
those two wins more than get cancelled out by a 4th place finish in the CAA...thats the stat that jumps out at me...people actually are campaigning to put the fourth place CAA team in the ncaa tourney
outrageous
it's not outrageous by any stretch
Stanford and Arkansas getting in is outrageous
oh theres definitely teams in that shouldnt be but they should not be replaced by the 4th place CAA team
florida state should def be in over ark or stanford
drexel also won at syracuse and at st. joes. i don't think it's as big of a snub as i originally thought, but they should not have been left out for stanford, arkansas, or even illinois.
st joes was terrible this year and syracuse was a win in name only...i give credit to drexel for going to syracuse no doubt...i love that they did it...but you cant give more importance to a couple nice wins in december vs playing an enitre CAA conference shcedule and finishing fourth
Any chance Kansas wins it all?
no.
Temple got farged.

Also, Niagara beat Florida A&M in the play-in game
as an adult, last night (the night before the tournament starts) is like christmas eve was when i was a kid. you want to go to bed early so you can wake up sooner, but at the same time your excitedness keeps you up. 1 hour to go.
you could've only typed that with cock in your ass, the question is...one or two?
i'm sorry but today and tomorrow are the two best days of sports of the entire year. sorry you don't like sports.
it's not that i don't like sports, but when i see sweaty guys running around, my penis always gets hard, and that makes me feel uncomfortable
if there was a way to farg the tournament, i would.

i am actually rooting for georgetown so that some md fans committ suicide but they are going down to carolina by about 15
im rooting for them too, i have them in the Final Four
shouldnt you be going for last at this point
why?
cause theres a last place prize and you cant get into the top three
oh, last gets a prize, i thought that was an extra pay-in like our football league
nope prize
but i was mistaken if you get every game right for the rest of the tourney you will win third
YES! still have a chance!
if unc wins the tourney, i can pass my roomate who doesnt watch basketball. victory enough.

i've spent the last 7 hours with about 200 gtown fans at the bar a block away from me, had about 15 beers, and it's been the best sunday since the eagles superbowl.
but you should still party with me for the chamionship parade.
coulda swore you went to penn state
true but i've been a georgetown basketball fan since i came down to dc to watch alonzo play when i was like 10. i was a bigger fan of them than the eagles when i was younger.
and i only went to psu because they were the only ones taking applications in march.
that would be equivalent to being a gilbert arenas fan but not as bad as being a maryland fan
Carolina choked like dogs in that game against Georgetown.

i didn't think there was any way for Boise St/Oklahoma to be beaten as best college finish of the year, but that did it
no it doesnt...it shows the guy who did it but ends right after
i was at a bar 'watching' this game in between talking and drinking with some friends...basically the whole thing happened on a tv less than ten feet from me and i didnt see one second of it (until the replays)

Oden already has 2 fouls and Hibbert has 1 in the first 4 minutes. Yeah, looks to be a real great big man battle. That's the only reason I'm watching this game and if it's ruined by fouls, farg.
I picked FLorida to win, but I can';t stand that bastich NoaH, After every play he screams or does something stupid, I want G-town and Ucla to win, at least one ewing can win something :P F Florida.
Noah is a farging Hoyda. Can't stand him. It will be hard to root for the Sixers if they draft him. The second he comes into the league, he'll be my 2nd most hated NBA player behind Kobe.

not only that, but that jump ball call was a joke. two maryland guys were on the ball, Hansborough jumps on top of them and gets a jump ball call, terrible
The Refs always seem to call games in favor of NC and Duke. I dunno' wether it's 'cause I'm a Terps fan or what, but it sure seems that way.
Jackasses on the Tar Heels boards are already saying that Maryland didn't beat them, they beat themselves and it doesn't matter because no one is going undefeated anyway and it only counts in March.
Why do Bluedevil and Tar Heel fans remind me so much of taterskin fans?
So, Temple fans, is .500 considered "good" in college basketball?
Temple is not good. They play 7 players and only 3 of them are reliable. With that said, they could get into the NCAA Tournament discussion if they take care of business.
Not losing to inferior road teams + winning home games= 12-4 or 13-3 conference record, which will get them in the discussion. Probably still on the outside looking in, but still, a marked improvement from previous years.
Doubt they can pull that off, but it starts tomorrow in St. Louis. That team sucks. Temple can't afford any slip-ups and they need the momentum to continue going into next weekend's showdown with those fargfaced flags from St. Blows.

Nothing quite like homerism after an exciting win over Ohio.
Yeah, who would want to root a school located in the middle of the ghetto that is in a second rate conference anyway?
Considering Temple has been within a game of the Final Four 4 times under Chaney and have the means to do it again, I'd say anyone who goes to the school and any basketball fan in the Philadelphia metropolitan area.
i've only been to one temple game live. it was at penn state. temple was ranked in the top ten. penn state won.
You bringing up Penn State basketball is slightly less of a joke than me bringing up Temple football.
actually it's not even close.
psu = 10-7
temple 8-8

After putting up with all of MDS's shtein about PSU football all season, I thought I'd wander over and piss on his parade.
i actually root for temple basketball, but it's still hot garbage compared to psu.
Piss on my parade when Temple actually has a good team, like in 2000 when we lost to Seton Hall in the 2nd Round. I know Temple blows these days, but sooner or later it's going to change. That's the difference between our basketball program and Penn State football. We'll actually be good again.
Um, how many national titles? Do they give out trophies for "almost 4th place"?
wow this must be a slow day. psu football vs temple basketball may be the most retarded argument ever.
We just beat St. Louis by 1 in overtime. Holla.
St. Louis RPI Ranking: 147
Temple: 48
KU up to #2!
Looking at the top 25 today and there's a lot of new faces there so far this year.
Wash St
Vanderbilt
Butler
Dayton
Tex A&M
Marquette
Drake
Xavier
Baylor
You'll typically see most of these teams in the tournament and maybe a couple of them crack the top 25 each year but this is a lot of schools to be listed all at once that aren't normally associated as top tier basketball schools.
it's great that baylor is having a solid season so far, after all the shtein that school went through a few years ago.
Plus, they all have to go to Baylor.
Terps have #4 Duke next. Gotta' luv playing in the ACC.
wow...Temple just had a tough loss. they were up 2 and gave up a 3 to St. Joe's with 3 seconds to go. then they run the ball down the court and the layup gets blocked on something that looks a lot like a goaltend.
of course, i had to see this on ESPN news live look-in, why would Temple/St. Joe's be on any of the philly networks, nah, dumb idea. comcast doesn't carry stupid ESPNU
Really tough loss for the Owls. I was on press row for the game, was an interesting experience. I'm not sure Tyndale got the shot off, but it wasn't really goaltending. Could have gone either way though. I just had losing to St. Joe's, but Temple is getting better and are pretty close to being "back."

Funny, I don't see them listed in the top 25. Is the A-10 division 2?
That's because they were terrible in non-conference play. They beat a bunch of MAC teams, Penn, Nova and Purdue. That's it. On the plus side, they lost to: Florida, Rutgers, NC State, Duke, Stanford and Maryland.
So basically they're gonna keep running through the A10 and will be on the bubble after it's all said and done.
So, basically, what you are saying is that Temple sucks. Oh, and that you get all excited when an inner city school approaches the average draw for women's basketball in the boondocks.

If you think Temple is better than St. Joe's you are delusional.
Not this year, silly. In general.
Right, we have only finished better than you for like the past 5 years in a row.

it was nice of the referees to give Georgetown a win last night
brutal call but an absolutely idiotic move by stokes to be all over him that far from the basket
The final 2 seconds of the Rutgers/Tenn women's game was rediculous too. Of course, it's womens basketball so no one cares......especially about nappy headed ho's.

yeah, i agree, my first reaction was to think that foul is called a lot actually, but it was the situation and time left that makes it such a terrible call
a ref isn't supposed to take into account how much time is on the clock when making a foul call.
stop it
georgetown rules!

if its the other baseline it might not even get called the fact that it was 85 feet from the basket with .1 seconds left is a tragedy...in fact on the possesion before there wa a no call (and a proper one) on reynolds...but still refs are complete douchebags and if you possibly can you dont give them the out to make the call and that was definitely a time the player could have backed off....
basically the ref choked as bad as you possibly could....he didnt make a concious decision to blow the whistle he literally saw the slight contact and had a reactionary moment where he completely lost it
QuoteDavid Aldridge: Jay Wright's team wasn't ready to prevail this time.
By David Aldridge
Inquirer Columnist
WASHINGTON - First, some housekeeping: no carping this morning from Villanova fans about referee Bob Donato's call with one-tenth of a second left against Corey Stokes. Georgetown's Jonathan Wallace had the ball, and was moving upcourt, and then he was out of bounds, because Stokes bodied him out of bounds.
It's so easy to sit in a TV studio and say, "Let the kids play." Players play to the whistle; refs ref to the whistle, and Donato was right, and after Wallace knocked down both free throws, Villanova lost a 55-53 heartbreaker at Verizon Center. Nobody messed up.
rock on david.
i guess the hoydas needed help from someone to finally not lose at home to nova
aldrige is a washington dc whore and it makes me sick that hes allowed to write for a philly paper....his column was the writers version of that call last night...ive emailed him numerous times to get his wack ass back to dc and i emailed him again this morning to let him know hes still a partisan hack
dook looks like something out of beetlejuice with his little head and huge body
so you like him then.
lol
i used to love him on the kornheiser show and as a nba insider he was great....but ever since the inquirer hired him hes been a disgrace...he hates on everything philly and writes stuff with no background to it...
and he lives in dc and writes for an out of town paper...how you gonna write opinion columns on a sports in a city and not live there where you can get the feel of the place and people
kill yourself little head
hes better than dick jerardi, who is basically working for st. joes at this point.
dick jeradi is the man...along with hoops weiss and jim oconnel the best cbb writers in the country....jeradis weekly column is outstanding reading
hes a good writer but hes absolutely bought by st joes. hes in martellis pocket. its really sad.
sure he is
this headline is a bastion of objective journalism:
QuoteLoss puts St. Joseph's a step closer to NCAAs
He's was the cheerleader behind getting SJU an 8 seed in the writers mock tourney field last week. He was drooling over them in 2004. He is a complete joke. But since you live in Philly and have been following the big five, I'm sure you know.
youve showed more bias for temple and against the joe than jeradi has shown on anything in his entire life...its almost laughable that you would criticze someone else of bias
and if you dont think a close loss in a game that you should have won on the road against a top ten rpi team isnt good then you dont know how selection sunday works
granted an eight seed is a little high...but people mis-seed all the time...and i might even grant you a little philly bias in jeradi since he lives there and sees the teams all the time...but if the joe and any of the other big five teams switched places this year hed be saying the same thing about any of them
im a fan of temple, silly. im supposed to be bias. hes an journalist covering the team. fawning over them and showering them with praise is pathetic. they not only lost to xavier, but they also lost to duquense. no mention of how that helped their tourney chances.
hes been slobbering over st joes for years. they havent even made the tourney since that once in a lifetime 2004 season. farg that stupid, arrogant school and farg jerardi.

rhody was 20-4 and "in" the tournament. temples still got long ways to go, but this was a great comeback. give some props son.
if temple loses at dayton by less than 20 ill give them "props"
but youre right they arent that far away...a good finish could maybe get them some NIT talk
dayton just got beat at home by duquense, so this isnt really much.
temple aint duquense
just stick to rippin maryland, land of zero graduates
Not graduating from Maryland might be stronger academically than graduating cum laude from Temple.
i dont really care about md one way or another but it did create seinfeld and the wire...mds two favorite shows ever...

Regardless, Temple still sucks.
entirely possible the owls wind up 19-11 (12-4) heading into the a10 tournament. shhh.
Good for them. They can beat Creighton or Murray State in the first round and lose to a real team in the 2nd.
The A-10 is irrelevant. No A-10 team has made it to the final four in 12 years. 3 in the last 30. 1954 was their only championship.
2008 is Temple's 50th anniversary of making it to the final four. Go Owls!
Alls I smells is jello-see.
Of what? I don't give a shtein about basketball. I just didn't want you to feel left out, since there is no "Temple Rules" thread and all.
Happy 50th anniversary. Did you know that the Philadelphia Eagles have won an NFL championship since the last time Temple made it to the final four?

Being as the subject was brought up, here are the facts.

Complete list (http://www.indystar.com/assets/pdf/BG87497103.PDF)
To be fair, even if the grad rate sucks, it really isn't zero.
Terps whip Florida State 82-72. They are on a serious late season run. Can't wait for March Madness.

Nobody cares.

I have first hand experience of Temple's collegiate atmosphere - my cheap-ass parents sent me to Temple Dental School for my braces. I took the R5 down to North Broad and walked the few blocks to my appointment. Let's just say that it isn't a place where a cracker is going to feel at home.
I think the better comparison is that it makes as much sense for a Penn State grad to talk shtein about college basketball as it does for a Temple student to talk shtein about football.
Which is why I do it in the first place.
Oh, and Temple still sucks. 50 years and counting, baby.
Not that any of you care, but I was at the WFU-Duke game last night. Amazing.
News flash! Temple Update! Temple gets their asses kicked by Dayton on Saturday. Exciting games vs. St. Bonaventure and Fordham this week - the Owls have a chance to make a bit of a run before they go to the Palestra and get their asses handed to them by St. Joe's.
The same St. Joe's that just lost to La Salle?
i said id give props and i must...temple hung in there with dayton and only lost by 11 i think
rather than the 20+ they should have
a lot of the blame goes to lavoy allen, boy missed a study hall and didnt start, never got into a flow and was a non-factor in the game. owls have games at st. bona and home to fordham this week. if they lose them i will fist a donkey. mostly out of anger.
Indiana officials have decided to suspend basketball coach Kelvin Sampson through the end of the season, multiple sources told Gary Parrish of CBSSports.com. According to the sources, IU's plan is to formally terminate Sampson at season's end.
Calvin Sampson agrees to resign and gets a 750k buyout...
he'll get another job somewhere too

Quotethe other fan base expects to win national championships and win a power conference. so.....
That's because they have done it before. Since Temple last made the final four, Penn state had 2 National Championships, 2 Big Ten Conference Championships (one of which was 2 seasons ago), and 5 undefeated seasons.
But I wasn't the one comparing the two. I just got annoyed at you trolling the Penn State thread, so I thought I'd come and troll the basketball thread (since there isn't a Temple Thread).

Penn State would have probably played for the national title a couple years ago if Lloyd Carr weren't able to whine 2 seconds back onto the clock (for the record, they probably wouldn't have won). Temple last made the final four 50 years ago.

I don't care if you are insulted. I just want to remind you every day that Temple is a second-rate team in a second-rate conference and that team has never accomplished anything. That it is located in a filthy ghetto where its students are afraid to walk the streets.
There is no one in the Penn State thread that thinks Penn State is a national powerhouse, or that they are going to compete for the national title every year. In general, that thread consists of the level of muted optimism that you find around here for the Eagles - pretty much hoping that they don't suck too bad and make it into a bowl game that has something other than a sponsor's name in the title. Still, you feel compelled to post your off-topic venom and jealousy there, and I find it annoying. I don't think it is fair that I have to put up with you shtein-talking about Penn State while you can talk hoops with all your Temple buddies unmolested. I am here to annoy, and it appears that I am succeeding.

that hansbrough dunk was garbage. he traveled and didn't even dunk over him, he went around him. which isn't really that hard since dude can't move.

i hate him too but he posterized dood

Um, ok...then why is everyone so down on the Eagles? They've been to the "final four" and won their division lots of times. What's the big deal?
Ok, props to Temple for finishing almost first - upper middle or lower upper or however you want to call it. Almost first in a conference that hasn't made it to the final four in over a decade, and hasn't had a team in the championship in 40 years. Props to their great history of almost making it to 4th place.
Hey they finished #1 in the Big 5 this year so shut it.

NO
Um, ok...then why is everyone so down on the Eagles? They've been to the "final four" and won their division lots of times. What's the big deal?
because the eagles are on even ground in a 32 team league...temple is not even the best team in a second tier conference so making the tournament is huge for them and a big deal indeed...where as in pro sports just making the playoffs doesnt mean much...especially when youve done it so much lately
in college people remember who make final fours...hell sweet sixteens are tracked...unless youre buffalo no one cares who loses in the superbowl
Please, everybody, continue to share your insightful opinions on this!

So, it is sort of like getting excited when the Arizona Cardinals make the playoffs?
Yeah, pretty much.
or like getting excited when Penn State makes a BCS bowl game
I was pretty excited when Penn State beat UNC to make the Sweet Sixteen.
Then, the likes of Gyasi Cline-Heard and Joe Crispin could not figure out the John Cheney zone defense and got housed by Temple.
Oh, by the way, as we've been talking about Temple basketball, some excellent teams have played some great games. For instance, UNC went to Cameron Indoor and took care of Duke on Saturday. That was a really good game.
That was a good game FF. Also, the UNC chick who got shot was pretty damn fine as well.
The shooter allegedly used her ATM card to get some cash after he did the deed. His picture is thus plastered all over the newspapers and local TV stations.

Well, yeah, but there was a great riot on Beaver Ave following that PSU/UNC game also.
true but they were ready for that one. must have been 75 cops on horses crammed into one of the parking lots on beaver ave waiting for it.
The horse staties cracked my shtein up. It's maybe a slight step above a bike cop, but a cop standing on his own two feet is more threatening than either.

3 out of 10 = most years?
more like 7 or 8. chaney had a insane string of like 20 years or so making it. then he stopped giving a shtein and the team blew. franny dunph's buildin it back up and may get in this year. he wont be chaney, but he will get em in most years. even though it is the ivy, the dude dominated it, so he can win and recruit.
the first step is putting st. blows back in their place as a jr college and the kind of school that adopts boston colleges football team because they dont have one (temple football joke) and plays in a rundown, inadequate facility that cant even house big five games.
The most important thing is that they're playing team basketball.

ugh. id be the first to tell you temple has been awful this decade. what i said was, we expect to make the tourney most of the time. it hasnt happened lately because chaney stopped caring and dunphy is building things back up, so that takes time. but i fully expect them to make next year, if not this year. and then begin another run of a10 dominance, which were doing under chaney.
youre really awful at this trash talking thing, you know?
So, eventually Temple will be on top of the second-rate conference instead of somewhere in the middle of it. But they'll still be irrelevant.
yes and no. wouldnt surprise me for franny to get a team like xavier has, one thats ranked and could get a 2-3 seed, make a run at a final four. but not every year. he'll also have years where they wont make it, or will be barely on the bubble, etc. but it should average out to temple being at the top of the class of the a10, along with xavier.
Bill Cosby wants to fight Cerevant.
I'm amused that a guy who couldn't get a job outside the Ivy League is going to be the savior at Temple.
cervent actually makes me want to hate penn state...congratulations sir
I've learned from the best.
uninformed again.
franny had a gazillion offers but didnt want to leave penn. he wants to stay in philly, which is why he really considered the la salle job but didnt take it cause they arent a real school. then temple came a long and boom, he signs up.

tyndale is solid but he also does a lot of stupid things. im most concerned next year about a point guard. guzman is inconsistent and christmas will be too important of a scorer to play the point. so if guzman can improve or inge can take that over, temple should be just fine. if not, then we be in trouble.
la salle is still la salle, dooks. they just lost 3 in a row. plus they wont be able to play the same kind of non-conference schedule temple can, so while temple is preppin for the a10 against duke, tennessee, etc, la salle will be preppin against njit and maryland baltimore county.
thats lasalles problem next year as well the point guard...elsewhere they have some pretty good young talent...as good as temples....christmas puts temple over the top tho...and im not sure what out of conference schedule means when they play in the same conference...so if lasalle beats temple in the a-10 nothing else would matter
temple playing the harder ooc schedule gets them better for the a10. it worked all the time under chaney and to an extent this year. it even worked for womens team, they played rutgers, duke, stanford, maryland and wound up finishing the season 14-2 and should get an at-large.
lol like any team ha to get ready for the a-10...pre conferences schedules are meaningless when getting ready for a good conference they mean less than nothing in the smaller conferences...temple won those titles under chaney cause temple had better players and a better coach
ooc skeds effect your bubble status in march and thats about it

I thought about it for a minute but I actually agree with this.
Playing a tougher ooc will obviously benefit your team and make them better so MDS does have a point. But at the same time, it won't necessarily make them any more competetive inside their own conference. It'd be like if the Eagles were able to schedule all of their non-division games against the Pats, Colts, Steelers, Jags, Chargers etc, etc. Sure, those would all be good tests for the Eagles and the Eagles could prove they are just as good as anyone, but it still doesn't mean they are any more prepared to go up against division rivals who, 1. get up for the game. and 2. are a hell of a lot more familiar with what you do offensively and defensively.
i see your point, but one thing that really helped temple go on the nice run in the a10 was the fact that they gave duke a game.
Playing a tougher ooc is definitely good for the team. And it will help some when you start playing conference games. But with conference opponents, you're going to get your opponents best efforts day in and day out where I'm sure that Duke probably didn't take Temple quite so seriously.....at least not until later in the game.
duke has historically played some of the weakest ooc skeds around and you can see what it does to them...theres a million examples of this but it really isnt important enough to pull up...bottom line is players win games not schedules
all i said is that helps. it can makes team better and more prepared for conference play. duh.
nova taking it to syracuse...11 3's in the game
this will eliminate the orange and put nova on the bubble in an elimination game tomorrow against gtown
nova might be able to get in w/ a loss, but unlikely
dayton escapes st. louis and faces xavier tommorrow. a win there get them in the discussion.
nova has no chance without beating gtwon...even beating them wont 100% do it...theyd still have to get help...the big east already has seven so if youre gonna go 8 with them the 8th team better have a lock resume and nova doesnt...
in fact its funny you mention dayton because if both dayton and nova were to win tomorrow dayton i think would be ahead of nova...not to say they both wouldnt get in tho...were nova to win tomrrow a dayton loss would be huge for them
yea for temples sake they essentially need to play xavier in the finals of the a10 tourney and also beat umass along the way. the only way the owls get the at large is if the committee says that they need two a10 teams in and if temple can survive longer than anyone else, they could get it.
but an enormous amount of things have to go right. so far, having 3 teams in from the wcc dont help.
pretty sure no one said anything about temple
anyway the joe is on right now...lets go hawks
pretty sure all anyone cares about is temple.
and farg st joes to hell.
you misunderstood people taking a chance to argue with the crazy that is Cerevant as support for Temple, don't let it happen again
The outcome of the A-10 tournament is irrelevant. In the unlikely event that Temple wins it, Dunphy will feel right at home getting the auto bid, a 16 seed, and getting bounced in the first round.

the train that is st joes is rollin
IF Villanova beats GTown they are in easily, probably as an 8 or 9 seed. I will take any bets on this site otherwise.
st. blows givin it to fordham, woopdee do good for them. theyll get trounced by richmond tomorrow (hopefully).

ha, you use a moment that is better than Temple has had in 10 years to try and downgrade St. Joes...awesome
lol
temple made 5 elite eights under chaney including 2001 and 1999. st joes made one in 04. good for them.
i like temple but that st joes run was better than all temples runs put together besides 88
oh most definitely. they went undefeated (even though they didnt play a really tough non-conf sked) and had a number of close/exciting games in the tourney. plus they are a little tiny irrelevant school with a high school gym so it was especially exciting to see them ranked no. 1 and such.
but i was really happy when lucas hit that shot and jaqueer missed his.
if you were happy when st joes lost that game you arent from philly and most likely have relatives in mississippi
leave it to the stupid jew kid to take the good will that cerevant got him in this thread and wreck it...nice work little jew kid

should be a good dh in ac. martelli, during his 10 minute press conference where he didnt stop talking because he is an unapologetic media whore who looks like peter boyle in young frankenstein, said he expects a sellout. dont think itll come to that but a temple/xavier final at this point might get temple an at-large.
martelli also said he was gonna hang around after the st joe game no matter what the result to support a fellow city school...cause hes not an ahole like you
im sure itll be super depressing when his team gets rocked by xavier and he has to stand and watch temple secure an at-large.
nope he will be happy for dunph and the school and most importantly the city
well, he is an ahole, but he sounds like a sweetheart when he says something like that to the media

temple people dont like st. joes. big five people like all the teams. igy dont get it cause he aint no temple people.
with that said, tomorrow will be a blood bath in ac. losing to sju will be on the levels of the igs losing to dallas in the nfccg or the phils losing to the mets in the nlcs. it will hurt x10000 and i might not recover (ed. note: cerevant, this is the kind of thing you can endlessly trash talk me to death with, should the owls lose to that hellhole of a school).

yep
yeah, that a-10 really stirs the blood
i cant hear you over that a10 championship
Your talking about the BIG 5 champs also.
Perfect day on the slopes ended with finding out temple beat st. joes ;D perfect >:D farg st. joes. Temple is the big boss this year.
back to stay, yo. it was six long years away from the top, but your temple owls are back to regularly beating st. hoes and finishing top 2 in the a10. perhaps this is the beginning of another 20+ year streak of making the tourney?
i did go down to ac for the game. stopped by a sports bar before hand that was having an owl club party, who are the boosters and what not. they were letting people in for 10 bucks, all you can eat. so we took it, and chilled with al golden and ann weaver hart (prez). golden didnt finish his yuengling, either. minus points, big dude. at the bar, i got carded for the first time. i sort of felt old.

georgia is up 30 to 11 early...they are going to break some hearts, especially around here if that holds true
Georgia won but Illinois lost, so there's a small chance both Philly teams can sneak in
Mount St. Mary's vs Coppin State in the Tuesday play-in game
KU/Tex game was a great game from start to finish. Had to have been about 14 or 15 lead changes and probably 7 or 8 ties. It was a close game until the final 2 minutes when KU stepped up and Tex couldn't hit anything.
Nova, SJU and Temple all in.
Temple gets the 12 seed in the South, will play Michigan State (who beat them in their last tourney appearance in 2001).
All I can hope is that I'll be able to see the game, and not a bus to Norfolk to cover the women's team.
lol @ joe being a higher seed than temple
its a joke but id rather have a 5/12 game than an 8/9. temple has no shot to beat a top seed, so at least now they can possibly make a sweet 16 run before having to deal with a memphis team they cant beat.
Temple gonna lose.
We get to play at 1230 on Thursday, which is 1030 Denver time. Bullshtein. Looks like I'll be missing class.

I was talking about the Philly schools dook.
Don't really have any college football preferences because I don't watch a lot of college football. But even if I did watch, it certainly wouldn't revolve around any Philly school.

3 hours till temple takes down those losers from michigan state. get PUMPED PEOPLES.
So, just a couple more hours for Temple fans to savor their grand achievement (finishing in the top 50!) before their hopes are dashed on the rocks of a middle-of-the-pack team from a real conference.

it would actually be the top 32 and they would go down to Pitt, a top 15 team when healthy, who just won the Big East Tourney.
Could you seriously know less?

I have no idea what you just said, so maybe you can clarify some things for my poor addled mind.
Temple is a 12 seed. There are 4 regions. 4x12 is 48, so there are at least 44 teams seeded higher. They are ranked 47 in the RPI. To me, that is top 50.
What does Pitt have to do with this? Is this one of those, A beat B and B beat C so A will beat C things? You know how often that kind of logic works, right? If it did, Jeff Sagarin would always be right. Sagarin says that Michigan St. will win.
so a month ago temple was a pathetic middle of the pack in their own conference mid major...now they are pathetic because they might lose in the second round of the ncaa tourney...i suspect if they made a run to the 16 or 8 cevent would diss them for not winning it all
Second round? They are going to get their asses handed to them by Michigan State. It is We-todd-did that is worrying about Pittsburgh already.

Friend, I'm not here for logic. If todd can post smack about college football, a subject he clearly doesn't know anything about, I am equally qualified to post smack about college basketball.
either way youre gonna hate no matter what...so whats the point
if you guys have time for 1 more bracket pool, comcast sportsnet philly has a free one on their website...first prize is a tv, i think. you have until 11am est to enter.

Wow, that sucked, just finished watching the game, Temple did not deserve to win that game. I was dissapointed with the officials early, and then when they switched to the Georgia/Xavier WTF the foul on the cracker's block and the jump ball call were insane. Anywho congrats to MSU Izzo always seems to have them ready for the tourney. And here's to looking forward to a great 08/09 Temple Owls B-ball season. Another year to beat down the St. Joey's
nm
media whore martelli is apparently interested in the providence job.
most likely bs, dude has had other offers to leave philly and he didnt budge. probably just using this a way to get a little pay increase. id honestly be sad if he left, i hate his guts so much that even as temple has now passed st. blows and is once again the better team (as they should be), the thrill of beating them isnt quite the same. but when frankenstein is there on the sidelines yawning and acting like a petulant child, it never really gets old.
stay, phil. stay.
Both teams lost in the first round. St. Joe's still has a better program.
they did for like 5 years. that reign of terror is over.
One win doesn't make your program better. PSU Football won the Big Ten in 2005.
it was two wins and temple IS the a10. there wouldnt be an a10 conference if it wasnt for temple.
xaiver is ten times the program temple is and easily the best program in the conference...stop living in 1988...joe is currently as relevant as temple
xavier has most certainly passed temple, but the joe just made their first tourney without jameer nelson. temple is better than them again, and will be better than them for the foreseeable future.
temple may be better in certain years and in a ten year span they might be better 6 of those years but joe could easily do the same...im not saying temple wont be better im saying as a whole they are equivalent programs
the NIT is set up perfectly for a Florida/Ohio State rematch in the finals
i would bet thats never happened before.

no.
the joe plays in a high school gym and moves big five games to penns gym
temple has 10k seat gym that averaged 7k back when the team was good and will do so again soon enough
the joe had to rely on prep school ballers and random transfers to field a team
temple still gets all the best philly ballers, now will have the last two public league players of the year (ramon moore, who redshirted this year and incoming freshman scootie reynolds)
temple is a bigger national and local draw, has more alumni, more money and is just a better program. the fact that st joe went as far as to turn the fieldhouse into a shrine of the "perfect season" where they lost 2 games speaks for itself. they made the elite eight. temple made 5 of them under chaney. they have a banner for each. thats it. class.
Someone's got a bee in her bonnet!
someone please tell mds chaney is not at temple anymore
dunphy made the tournament after one year and is widely considered to be one of the best coaches out there. there is no reason to think he wont be successful. not chaney levels, but close.

exactly...people went to temple because of john chaney...no one is going to temple for fran dunphy...so already they are behind the eight ball...is dunph a good coach sure...is he going to transform temple into anything close to where chaney had them...of course not
well obviously. but he can get close. essentially, instead of making the tourney every year, he will do it 7/10 times...something like that. dood already took a squad with 6 players and 2 part-timers that was picked 9th in the a10 to the tourney. he aint chaney, but he a good coach.

Quote6-10 recruit chooses Villanova
By MIKE KERN
Philadelphia Daily News
kernm@phillynews.com
Maurice Sutton, a 6-10, 210-pound center-forward from Largo High (Upper Marlboro, Md.), is heading to Villanova.
"It came down to what God said, what God said goes," Sutton said this afternoon. "When I went to Villanova for a visit, it just felt right. I just felt comfortable with coach [Jay] Wright . . . Everything, his personality, just the way he came in, he's just so honest. I know his track record. There is something about him I really like. I can really say that I'm going to love having him coach me for how ever many years I'm there.
"I've seen what they have done in the tournament the last few years. I would love to be part of that."
Today is the last day of the national signing period.
One of the top unsigned players remaining in the class of 2008, he had narrowed his possibilities to Villanova, Seton Hall and Indiana.
[][]New Indiana coach Tom Crean reportedly offered Sutton a scholarship while he still was coaching at Marquette.
He obviously would have had a chance to play at Indiana a lot sooner, since the Hoosiers are in desperate need of fresh bodies. Seton Hall had been recruiting him longer than anyone.
Sutton, who averaged more than 20 points and 10 rebounds as a senior, needs to add some bulk to his slender frame, which could also make him a candidate to redshirt next season.
God actually went to Villanova, I heard, so that makes sense.
How else can you explain 1985?
It's difficult to do, but you can work around it with Reaganomics and a flux capacitor.
cbs canned billy packer. rejoice.
Temple sucks, rejoice!
packer was an angry SOB but he was a great announcer...dumb ass move by cbs
i didn't like him on the #1 pairing, but they should have kept him around in some capacity

That would be fun.

are you two kidding me? he was an angry old white guy who was unbearable to listen to. its beyond time he was canned.
packer has forgotten more about college basketball than all of us have ever known combined...he was a genius and a legendary announcer who hadnt fallen off at all...who cares if hes angry as long as hes a great announcer...you want tulips and kittens where every player is the greatest of all time then listen to vitale
vitale is just as annoying if not more. packer was a complete icehole who talked more about the game in the 70's than today. he couldnt deal with the mid-majors actually becoming respectable and was overall just a fleshpophead.
the next step is getting rid of that phony jim nantz. gus johnson needs to announce a final 4.
hes 100% on point...the mid major love come tournament time is a joke
no the year he bitched out st. blows they didnt make it to the elite 8. and the year he whined about the mid majors george mason didnt make it to the final 4 and like 4 other teams didnt make it out of the first weekend. didnt happen, he was right.

theres always exceptions to the rule but in general mid majors suck and lately almost every year a) get to many teams in and b) the ones that do get in invariably get over seeded

I was a freshman Paul's sophomore year. The last three years have been brutal for Wake basketball, but I'm loving this team. The defensive intensity is something I haven't seen from this era of Wake basketball. Got a big one coming up against Duke later this month.
i just cant get into the college basketball season like i used to...unless youre a bubble team its all so meaningless and all the good players are in the pros thus the quality of ball is so bad
ridiculous and so wrong. yesterday was the best day of basketball of the year.
someone who look like snoop from the wire ran onto the court during the temple game tonight. it was during the diamond gems dance team performance during a media timeout. she was in the middle of the whole thing, dancing, even went through one of the dancers legs. it kind of looked like part of the act. eventually the police came out and took her away.
also john chaney is a god. tonight he was talking about its going to be great when there are more minorities than white people, and how when the white people start complaining, he's just gonna laugh at them. i want to buy him.
I love when you write paragraphs about Temple

PSU gets a #2 seed in the NIT and opens against George Mason. After that is the Niagara/Rhode Island winner...
Yeah, bitches! This is how we roll!
i cant remember if ive been to miami or not. orlando, palm beach, ft lauderdale, yes...but dont think ive been to miami since perhaps i was a wee pup. so throw out some suggestions on places to spot that arent tourist traps, hot latina snatch to see, cuban rafters i can scope out, signs that fast freddie may be stalking me, etc.
Ted's Hideaway in South Beach is the best bar in Miami. Even a dumb ass from Elkins Park could get laid in there. It's on 2nd St. between Collins & Ocean Avenue. If you're looking for a good sports bar on the main drag (read: tourist trap) then try The Clevelander. Not bad. Jerry's Famous Deli is ridiculously excellent in terms of quality and quantity. That's at 15th & Collins. It's a big white art deco looking joint on the outside but it looks like a Manhattan Jewish Deli inside. Not kidding - great frigging food.
Owls Farg Yeah :crazy Farg ASU!
white people are funny...

billy gillespie already aced by those lunatics in lexington
how long was he there
what time is it now?
3:14
less than two years
lol
billy donovan the frontrunner to get the job.
apparently gillispie was an immature dick but 2 years? wow. farging morons out there.
doesn't sound like he was fired for performance as much as it was because he apparantly didn't really get along with anyone. butted heads with the ad, didn't stroke the boosters ego, etc, etc. and kentucky is probably one of the few colleges in the country where the basketball head coach has got to be just as involved with the boosters as he is with the team.
they should hire phil martelli. he'll get along swimmingly with everyone.
ha!
donovan is obviously their first choice and i think he'd welcome the opportunity to leave florida. dude won them 2 championships in the last few years and they still can't fill the gym with fans. not to mention that they aren't even making the tourney now.
also heard rumors about them going after tom to the izzo but i really dont see that dude leaving mich st. ever.
izzo would be stupid to go. hes got just a good a chance of making the final 4 in lansing as he does at kentucky. hed just be going because its kentucky. and money, i suppose.
if im an established coach there is a 0% chance i go there. their boosters think its their god given right to be in the final four and any season short of that and any coach who doesnt kiss their ring is done. farging lunatics.

As expected, Tyreke Evans is gone from Memphis already, declaring for the draft
i sort of broke some minor news today. go find it you homos.
the next time you "break news" on temple women's basketball, you might want to keep it to yourself.
does it even count as news if no one cares?
thats why i said minor you fag.
i got a lot of comments for what you said in the last post, this one is gonna bring them out. thanks, douche.
my commentary about your commentary is going to catapult you straight to the top. no need to thank me. i'm here for you.

The end.
PS: I want to rape the bitches in the Heineken commercial that has played roughly 76 times tonight. And by "rape" I mean farg them to death and then stick them in the same freezer their flagy ass beards find at the end of the ad.
That is all.
Nova came out flat as farg...and it came down to the 3ptrs. NC was draining them and Nova could not sniff one. Hell, NC contested just about every jumper and Nova took a lot of bad shots.
I thought the run outta the half was gonna be where they took over the game, but NC locked the lanes down and d'ed up big time.
I was shocked to see MSU win...but they deserved it.
Penn State beat MSU at East Lansing this year which means that PSU is basically the best team ever.
Nova got it down to 5 without resorting to gunning the three's, then inexplicably they starting gunning again and missed from everywhere.
Also - I thought UNC played excellent pursuit defense all night. Great rotation, they attacked the basketball at every turn whereas Nova seemed very sluggish and wasn't attacking on defense at all.
Just a piss poor effort all around on Nova's part.
Oh, and I still wanna murderdeathkill those bitches.

Correct. If MSU wins the "big" tournament, PSU's win in the NIT will prove they should have been the champs.

not exactly dumb...being able to pull from coast to coast is exactly why they win...north carolina isnt exactly a hs basketball hotbed
michigan state starters = (2) michigan (3) ohio
Quotenot exactly dumb...being able to pull from coast to coast is exactly why they win
I agree it's exactly why they win. I don't see how this sort of thing is good for college athletics. I'm sure all of these kids got scholarships paid for from the people of the state. And while the school surely will come out ahead from all the revenue gained from them, how is this good for kids in the state that would otherwise have wanted to play for the team? It seems to me a lot like the argument for banking consolidation - Sure, it's a great way for the company to be succesful and bring in more money, but I don't think it's good business. Also, call it quaint, but it just seems to me that there's something nice about kids playing for the school from around where they are from.
Quotemichigan state starters = (2) michigan (3) ohio
So every one of Michigan State starters was from Michigan or the Michigan region.
They should obviously be the champs, then. UNC is basically like a large conglomerate outsourcer!
Schools who allow students from out of state to attend should be punished or something. farging clown.
Quote from: ATV on April 08, 2009, 11:20:11 AM
how is this good for kids in the state that would otherwise have wanted to play for the team?
yeah, god forbid you tell a kid "no" because he's not really good enough. wouldn't want to hurt his feelings or anything.
what about some kid that's a basketball stud from someplace like montana? granted, they are far, few and in between, but why should he be denied the opportunity to not only play ball at a top tier basketball school, but be denied the oppotunity to go to a top tier university as well?
your logic on pretty much everything sucks. so farg you.
what about the kids that wanna experience something new and get away from home for college
should all scholarship students be forced to attend their state university or just basketball players?
yeah i actually think its weird when kids want to stay close to home. who doesnt want to get the farg away from everything and be on your own for a few years.

Ha. C-.
I dunno. There's probably nothing that could or should be done about it. I just think it's lame that North Carolina won the NCAA championship mostly because they were able to convince the best high school all Americans from around the country to attend their school. These players generally didn't give a rats ass about North Carolina - Their primary concern was about winning a championship and becoming a higher lottery pick. Hooray for the University of Basketball.

Among other violations, Derrick Rose cheated on his SATs.
kind of hard to cheat on your sat when you aren't the one taking them.
Even the guy who actually took the test did kinda zesty (740-750) but I guess they wanted to make it believable.
Wait, his total sat score was 750? For god's sake, did he really need someone to take the test for him to get that? That's a sub-feline intelligence level.
all they needed was someone who could get one more point than the score that doesnt allow people to play college basketball
Jesus. How low is too low? My shoe could get a 750.
im not sure...lets just say derrick rose aint smurt
Kevin Garnett couldn't even reach the qualifying score
Well color me amazed that either of them can fashion words in a coherent manner.
hed fit in well in south boston.

would not have been a huge win....gtown blows....but its always nice to see a philly school beat another school from a basketball city

In one of my high school's games I went to, one kid dove for a loose ball head first, tripping another kid. The other kid fell from like 3 feet up right onto the other kids' head which got smashed between the floor and the other player. Couple teeth that had been knocked out were a couple feet behind him, then he had a seizure right there. farging scary.

You obviously know nothing of the situation then.
She was considered one of the best womens basketball recruits in history and was gettin looks and stories written about her since she was in middle school. I remember in the last championship game I saw here, she was going up against a team with another top recruit (Kadisha Rushdan, is at Rutgers now but I think she blew her knee out), and put up 50 points. That was more than the other team scored the entire game.
But yeah, she was "just another player"....she took a year off from basketball and has still gone over 30 points a few times in her first season back.
And again i don't think you understand how big of a deal she was here. It IS Delaware, after all...the girl couldn't go anywhere in the state without someone recognizing her and shtein. I felt bad for her.
keep clinging to the labia of a high school grils basketball player from delaware...

sherron collins is filthy sick and ku will be back on top of the polls on monday.
the one thing i absolutely love about college basketball is watching kids come in as freshmen and developing their game over 3 or 4 years and growing into great all around players and collins is just that. i don't know if he'll achieve the same level of success in the pros but dude is seriously fun to watch in college.
wow MA

I've read about that girl from Delaware. She has a sister who's retarded or very sick, I don't remember which, and being away from her family was too much to handle, so she went back home. Now she's playing again and she's great. Good for her and good for Delaware.

she a womens basketball player from delaware...settle down chief
speaking of the rev did anyone else see him sitting with barry & joe yesterday at the georgetown game?
that game was awesome yesterday. i've never gotten so drunk so close to the president before. plus watching all of the douchey duke fans slowly get completely demoralized was great.

Again. She was touted as the best prospect outside of Candice Parker pretty much ever. She took a year off from basketball and is still the 2nd leading scorer in her conference, and dropping 30 point nights and double doubles like it's nothing.
i have never seen a person try so hard to belabor a point.
Are you nuts? You see it everytime IGY posts in a thread more than once.
Phatty you should have gotten wrongfully arrested so that the pres would have bought you and the officer a beer.
how pathetic is it that munson is on the manly twat of some womens basketball player
newsflash idiot, no one gives a shtein about womens basketball. especially one from delaware.
I didn't realize anyone gave a shtein about basketball, period. Outside of the month of March and maybe during the NBA finals.
the jew gets it. why doesn't everyone else?
I don't think he gets it. But I do think he's really pumped for the new Lifehouse CD to come out.
i dont understand what that means. is lifehouse a band?
and you have the be the least philly person here if you dont think bball matters outside of march and the nba finals. just leave, please.
The 6ers could give away tickets for free right now and they still wouldn't be cared about. In fact, caring about the 76ers is probably the LEAST philly thing to do as they're by and far the 4th most prominent team now a days. More fairweather casual fans =/= people actually caring more.
Nova is kind of a big deal but as of right now it's more of a "oh Nova's doing good"...then in March the entire area will become huge Nova fans. Then after the tourny is over the bulk of the people will go back to not caring about basketball again.
And don't hide your love for Lifehouse.
theres nothing more annoying than a person who knows nothing about a particular sports rambling on how nobody cares about it. please stop.

exactly...its basically munson once again trying way to hard and coming up fail in an awful way...i ask again why does every single person thats ever come across him see his galactic doucheyness....yet he doesnt
his no one in philly cares about hoops comment may take the cake
attendance in collegiate and pro teams teams doesnt always relate. its the most popular sport in this town BY FAR and god knows how many straight ballers have come out of here.
haha it's a popular sport because it's the easiest to go down to the local park/court and find people to play. That doesn't mean the people of Philly care more about basketball than the Eagles, or the Phillies. The casual fan will flock to basketball more than hockey but the Flyers have a core group of fans that are there no matter what while the 76ers need to be good to get anyone's interest.
well hes from a delaware trailer park...not exactly the basketball capital of the world
but yes when it comes to bball its pretty much new york chicago and philly
when it comes to the four professional teams its an eagles city but above all else philly is a basketball town and always will be
It's a football town. end.
no it isnt but you know less than nothing about any city
I like when you get all high and mighty and think you know everything. It turns me on.
god can he get any worse?
more people play hoops in ny, philly and chicago than any other sport. we dont need your socioeconomic guesses as to why. that interest doesnt always translate to attendance figures and tv ratings for the 76ers or nova.
if you lived in philly and werent from some hodunk delaware trailer park youd know this.
lol again that's because it's easy to go down to any park, or recreational area, and find people to play pick up ball. That doesn't make everyone that does it die hard basketball fans/lovers. Even the whiteys in whitetown USA probably play basketball more than any other sport. No one actually cares any bit about basketball in this area anymore, and it has become the most fairweather fan base in the town. Sure, when a local team is doing good, the casual fan will come back and cheer but no one gets pissed when the teams suck like they do when the Eagles lose or the Phillies blow one. Because no. one. cares.
as i said last week three of the top four college teams in the country have at least two philly kids in their rotation
high school basketball is epic in the city...high school football not so much
college basketball vs college football in the city is pretty much self explanatory
oh but i forgot the sixers are in a funk right now so the city is a football town
jesus ignorance annoys me
Philly's got a lot of good boxers too. People still don't care.
not that your point makes any sense anyway because philly has always been a monumental basketball city eclipsed as weve said by only ny and maybe chicago
but anyway philly has very few good boxers right now
you really hate intelligence dont you
lol who cares how many good basketball players come from here (just like boxers...)....the point is no one cares about either sport anymore. People can play it, people can be great at it, doesn't mean the general populous gives a farg. Philly cares about its basketball teams like it cares about the Union. it doesn't. If Nova wins it all this year they might be able to get a long term buzz going but more than likely by April it'll all be Phillies opening day and the Eagles draft plans again. Maaaaybe the Flyers playoff position.
i really dont even know where to go with you...youre a pasty trashy kid from delaware who hates basketball and watches eagles games with 75 year old american legion doods in some dusty warehouse
you know nothing about the city or its love of basketball...high school basketball is monsterous in the city....the big 5 speaks for itself and is known all over the country...the palestra is a chapel
to say no one in the city of philadelphia cares aboput basketball is probably the most off thing youve ever said and the competion for that title is to say the least lengthy
this is just...wow
philly ny and chicago are bball towns. no doubt. who cares 'how easy it is' to play them. its easy in texas too but they breathe football there. it aint that way in philly. the eagles are top dog and people play it but it dont come close to bball.
were not talking about interest in terms of pro and college teams. its about what people in the city love to play and do. and thats hoops. please stop trying to argue this.

Minus the hardcore fans of the high school and college teams, no casual fan gives a damn about them until it's tourny time. And that's only if they're any good.
Just because a lot of people play it doesn't mean people care about it in the city. 80% of the basketball fans int he area ae fairweather "if they're doing good, i'll watch"...the rest either attend the schools or really LOVE basketball.
you are running in circles of stupidity and arguing with yourself about nothing
either stop or kill yourself. the latter would be preferable.
lol I'm not arguing with myself about nothin. It's entertaining egging you two fargs on. A lot of people playing a sport for recreation doesn't = the most popular sport. The amount of fairweather fans when a local team does good sky rockets, then they all completely disappear once the season is over. Because they in reality don't care what the team does in the end and if they lose just go "meh maybe next year".
Basketball is fun to play and it's easy to get a game going pretty much anywhere, USA....but it ranks just above golf and soccer on the "sports that are compelling to watch when it's not an important game/the team is zesty" meter.
remember that time when we talked about college basketball in this thread?
good times.
Remember that time when MDS, Munson and IGY all died in an embarrassing act of sexual experimentation? Good times.
That was my favorite.

i was mostly referring to you. but yes, the other knuckleheads are involved are almost as awful. for them, it's curable. for you, not so much.
College basketball is my second favorite sport after the NFL. The big 5 isn't what it was but it's still amazing, and watching Nova/Temple is easily as entertaining to me (actually more) than the Flyers/76ers/and probably a generic Phillies game as well.
ugh. apparently the move to expand the tourney is all but done. way to farg up the most perfect thing in sports iceholes.
Unsure if its 96 or 69.
69 I could live with. Basically all 15 and 16 seeds play play in games. That's not awful. 96 would be.
yeah 69 is obviously better but still retarded. you're still going to have people bitching that the 70th and 71st teams didn't get it. leave it alone.
i like it a lot dont get me wrong...but the tournament is unbelievably overrated
the selection show is ten times better than the actual games
in fact the buildup to the first two days of the tourney is so awesome that when the thing actually happens its almost always anti climatic...
altho i will say the first two days are terrific...the next three weeks not so much
worst thing you've ever said.
Quotethe selection show is ten times better than the actual games
this is the topper
i love the tourney. can't believe they're expanding it even more. whatever. more games = more money.
obviously there's some blowout games that aren't worth watching unless you're a fan of that particular school, but the tourney always has at least 2 or 3 really great upset games in the first 3 rounds, which is what makes it so much fun to watch. and most games sans 1-16/2-15 matchups in the first round tend to be relatively close, hard fought games, many of which come down to the final 2 minutes.
7-10 matchup in the first round always seems to be where the best action is and the source of some of the best upsets.

once in a blue moon youll have a GW or a richmond over syracuse but its a lot less rare than people realize
another huge misnomer is the amount of buzzer beaters....most people think there are a lot but in reality its just that the ones that do happen get replayed into the ground so people get fooled into thinking each tournament has a bunch of them
of course there are a couple great games each tournament but they are far outweighed by non descript boring or just plain bad games

no, actually the tourney does have a few upsets in each round. it's rarely a huge, epic upset where the 1, 2 or 3 seeds get knocked out in the first round, but 7-10, 6-11, 5-12 games are almost always fun to watch and the favorite probably wins those games about 60% of the time (give or take).
last year alone, 12 beat 5 in 3 out of 4 and only 1 game was decided by more than 5 points.
6 beat 11 in 3 out of 4 games but 2 of those games were decided by 1 point. the other 2 were by 8 (11 seed upset) and 9 points.
7 beat 10 in 2 out of 4 games. 2 games where blow out-ish and the other 2 were relatively close.
so last year, it was actually a split right down the middle with the higher seed winning 6 and the lower seed also winning six. so my guestimate of 60% is really only about 1 game off....at least in 2009. i'd say that if you look at a larger body of work....say over 10 or 20 years, that it's probably pretty close though.
so basically, out of 12 total games, only 2 probably weren't worth watching unless you follow a particular school playing in those games.
the buzzer beater thing i agree with as it does happen less than people tend to think. although i don't think that a game needs to end on a buzzer beater in order to be a great game. as i said, the 1-16 game or 2-15 are usually sleeper games and maybe once every few years you get a close game or potential upset, but those are far, few and in between.
that's why i like watching the "middle of the pack" games. pretty much anything from 4-12 is going to at least be an entertaining game that comes down to the final 2 or 3 minutes. and that's what makes it exciting for me.
of course lower seeds win games...but you said "really great" upsets...i took that to mean big upsets...and those are few and far btwn

this is a good laugh out loud post. it probably shouldn't be, but it is.
the problem is to many fans think a real upset is a higher seed beating a lower said which is not always the case...in fact lower seeds are sometimes favored...pools which i admittedly love and partake in have corrupted people into what a true upset is
you have to look at the teams not the seeds
for example there was only one double digit underdog to win outright in the tourney last year and that was dayton over west virginia which doesnt exactly scream cinderella
percapita the are way more real upsets in the cbb regular season but because there are not seeds attached to the teams and because the media and dumb fans dont pump them up you never hear about them
Quote from: ice grillin you on February 02, 2010, 01:05:21 PM

i'm pretty sure no one actually thinks that.
i also know what you meant by it though.....
and i also know what you're talking about with true upsets. is 10 beating 7 a true upset? probably not since those teams are probably very similar and when you get that low in the rankings, it's basically a coin flip as to who gets the higher seed.
but, on paper it's an upset if 10 wins, although that's not what really interests me. it's mostly just the fact that the teams seeded in the middle often match up very well against each other which usually translates into some great games that aren't decided until the final 2 minutes.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. North Carolina Tar Heels 4-10 in the ACC, and 15-14 overall. Any other team with that record would be on the bubble and likely not make the tourney with a bad showing in their conference tourney. But watch and see if the Tar Heels don't make it anyway even if they suck in the ACC tourney.
yeah, the mighty have "fallen" because they graduated their entire championship team from last year, have no doubts that they will be back to dominating the ACC in no time.

Don't know about that. How quick do you come back from 4-10? Not to say they won't, because they have that edge in recruiting even though it doesn't show this year. And this year ain't over yet.

lol....before last night you saw less than three seconds of VT basketball this year...they farging stink and so does the acc...and for that matter so does cbb
The ACC isn't as good as it has been, but it by no means sucks.
im pretty sure VT doesnt have a single good road win this year and only one quality win the whole season (against wake)...and thats stretching the definition of quality
the fact that they are one of the better teams in the acc is an embarrassment
This is not a good year for ACC hoops. I took a spur of the moment road trip down to Wake on Friday afternoon with a buddy of mine who I graduated with. He had tickets to the UNC game but his flight was canceled out of Syracuse so he was looking for someone to head down with him. The game was miserable. Wake's started their annual March collapse a little early this year. Duke is good but not great, Maryland is winning but they rarely blow teams out. They MIGHT be a sweet 16 team. After that you have a bunch of mediocre - above average teams that will get 7-11 seeds in FSU, Wake, VT, GTech, Clemson who have very little chance of making it out of the first weekend.
The acc has five teams with at least 20 wins. Like I said they aren't as good as they have been but they don't suck
If you haven't heard, the Terps beat Duke last night. The last shot by Vasquez was sick.
i did hear and i dont care what some thug mexican wannabee does against a bunch of wealthy prep school white boys and their phony, rate-faced coach.
That would be (b)rat(/b) faced coach and no one cares that you don't care.
And those prep school white boys you talk of were the 4th ranked team in the country.
lol @ Duke being called a prep school and a guy named Vasquez being called a mexican want to be.
lol @ you goin off on the red headed step child of the acc when a philly as philly gets school and philly as philly gets team is 14-2 in the a10 and all but locked into a 3 seed

temple @ umd next year
so the ncaa is expanding to 68, not 96
no details yet but im guessing all 16 seeds will be play-in games, probably 2 monday night and 2 tuesday night.
this is just gonna increase upsets and farg everyones bracket over, as 14 seeds will now become 15, 13 to 14, etc. and on down.
while it's still a stupid idea, it's far less dumb than expanding to 96 teams and doesn't really minimize the overall importance of the reg season.
how do you make meaningless less meaningless
by involving andre iguodala and sam dalembert
NCAA said today the expanded tournament isn't just three new "#16-vs-#17" match-ups to go with the existing one....only two of the games will be. The other two will be the final at-larges competing for a #10-#12 spot. The "First Four" will be TUE/WED and shown on the old CourtTV channel (TruTV)
sounds like a god awful idea
