2007 - 2008 NCAA Basketball Thread

Damn good game.

Methinks Bruce Pearl likes having Erin at the games.

 

[Immortalfire]

Who wouldn't?

 

[Venom'sDad]

Sorry ADD, I was pulling for them. Great game... one of the best game I saw thus far.

 

[Addendum]

At least it wasn't during the Tourney. Only good thing I can say

 

[Fran]

If Memphis could shoot free throws they probably would have won.

Damn good game though.

 

[Addendum]

Earlier in the season, I thought we could improve free-throws.

If I had a clip of Chris Matthews' laugh, I'd put it here

 

[Fran]

They were RED HOT from the arch to begin the game, then went cold like the last 30 minutes

 

[Addendum]

 

[Fran]

Hug?

It's your first loss... look at my team. Preseason Big Ten champion favorites, most likely should be 26-1 by now, not 22-5.

 

[Addendum]

I'm cool. Just disappointed

 

[Fran]

One loss gets the pressure off the undefeated season, don't sweat it

 

[E. Nygma]

As good a team as Memphis is, until they can shoot from the foul line better they are going to struggle to beat the better teams in the nation. Sure they can hang with anyone, but in a tight game like last night when they're only shooting 58% or worse from the charity stripe they're going to lose.

Everyone knew it and everyone said it. Free throws would hurt them eventually down the stretch in a close game. It doesn't matter who you foul on that team they don't hit them under pressure. If the guards can't hit them you are screwed. In tournament time, there will be tight games as the competition intensifies and free throws are HUGE.

Heh, a complete blowout of 30 points no less.

Now THAT'S Duke basketball. If Zoubek can keep his 7 ft ass relevant and maintain a presence in the paint, we'll be fine again.

New Jersey Tech is 0-29

5-53 in division 1 so far?

why did they make the jump!?

 

[Mister J]

Well, I guess Tennessee decided it didn't like that whole #1 ranking thing after all.

 

[Addendum]

Thank you Vanderbilt t:

 

[Fran]

Looks like UNC might take the #1 spot back again.

 

[Fran]

Sorry Badger, but I gotta post this:

This is from an ESPN.com chat with Pat Forde, college basketball analyst:

Mike (Madison): How can Wisconsin not be in someone's top 10 programs over teams like MSU or IU.

SportsNation Pat Forde: (3:02 PM ET ) Mike: Banners is a good place to start. So are Final Four appearances

Badgers play Sparty tomorrow night at the Kohl Center.

 

[Genesis 1.0]

Damn, they didn't get a chance to bask in their #1 spot for a week. Kinda sad, they've never been ranked higher than their women's team and now that.

Damn.

 

[Fran]

Tonight, Badger... you and I are enemies.

 

[Fran]

Skip both tournaments, this team has no killer instinct.

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

Badger....You have the upper hand

 

[Badger]

BAM!!
