NCAA Mens basketball '11-'12
Where the hell was this thread by the by?
OK so after watching the beatdown OSU gave Duke I have a couple of comments. 1) The breakdown of men's collegiate basketball seems to be OSU and then everyone else. What a quick turnaround form a total wasteland OSU has given us. First Urban Meyer and the promising football future and then this beating of the always tough Duke program. I will grant it is possible Duke is overrated though, which brings me to this.... 2) OSU fans chanting "overrated" in the last 60 seconds of the game. Stay classy Buckeye fan, you shame me that I have to be lumped in with you. |
Duke is a fine team. And Coach K's butt is sore.

TPAM coach Ryan Marks was reportedly disappointed that Sullinger didn't play, stating that his players would've been thrilled to say they played on the same court as the Buckeye star in years to come.
|
Yes, screw his back spasms, just as long as 11 or so kids from Whogivesashit U can say that played Sullinger
|
Well, Sully didn't play again against the 'Hawks, but that wasn't why the Bucks got drilled by 11. 41% from the floor, shitty from the arc, and turnovers killed us. But Big Buford had a good game. He played the entire second half out of breath.
|
I agree Mailcall, it wasn't so much the lack of Sullinger but the lack of performance from the bucks on both sides of the ball, minus Bufford who had a vary solid game.
By the way, I never knew you were a Buckeye fan. |
For the last couple years it seems I have to force interest in basketball (unless it's March Madness and then it comes naturally again), but nowadays it probably has to do in part with my team's complete lack of integrity last year.
I did watch the Carrier Classic and it was 40 minutes of a freshman team making freshman mistakes. We're doing pretty ok so far this season, so WE WILL SEE. And there's my 1.5 cents |
I think for what they have and what they had to play MSU did well in that game.
That team can and likely will be dangerous in a year or 2 |
Izzo always delivers magic in march. Magic being milhouses jollies.
|
IZZO IS OFTEN QUITE IN-TUNE WITH MY NEED OF JOLLIES

I went to the Dayton-FIU game tonight.
Isiah Thomas looked ittybitty from the nosebleeds. |
I think you must have meant Isiah Thompson
EDIT: skip to about 2 minutes in to see what the hell I am talking about |
I did mean that. I am having some toddler distraction issues, as in my typing is often scatterbrained because I turn just in time to catch her trying to do a high-dive off the dryer or something.

You had the name right in the first place. The joke was that the AD got Thomas' name wrong when he introduced him for the first time. So now I call him Isiah Thompson |
Oh well :lol
Easy to do. But kudos on making me doubt myself :lol I'll very likely call him a combination of the two for the rest of my life. |

Just search youtube for "Isiah Thopmson"

Congrats to the mighty Wagner Seahawks, who kicked the butts of the #15 Pittsters yesterday. Leading scorer was sophomore guard Latif Rivers who had 18--despite the fact that he is just a 1V sophomore. "Latif was just a dynamo out there," said coach Danny Hurley, adding, "doing all that scoring while just being a sophomore."
|
Second "upset" this year for Pitt isn't it?

Didn't Pitt lose a good amount of its starters from last year? Still isn't an excuse for abysmal shooting and poor second half performances.
|
Ohio State avenges its earlier embarrassment in Bloomington by bombing the Hoosiers. Meanwhile, Northwestern stops scaring other Big10 teams and finally delivers by pasting Michigan State. My early Big10 COY Award goes to Bill Carmody.
|
I'm very glad that Syracuse took it on the chin today. Too bad the winner was Notre Dame. :(

If we can get an actual turnout for bracket bunch this year (I am looking at you WhiteRat, Milpool, Tadao, Willie even though you will likely not see this, and Babs) then we should all be crying as the parity this year will make for the most hard to pick brackets ever
|
I expected at least a little gloating from you Milpool.
|
#1 After watching the game with some buds we went to a club and watched a New Orleans-style jazz combo that was so kickass that it actually completely sidetracked my mind from the game :eek
#2 I SHOULD BE GLOATING. We broke your streak and we're back on top in the B1G. You mean I get a season where we're incredible at football and basketball simultaneously? EVERYTHING'S COMING UP MILHOUSE |
Should you be gloating? A little at least, after all you just said it, everything's coming up Milhouse. Even those flood pants should be working out
|
My capslock statement of gloating wasn't a question, professor, but we'll let the viewers judge for themselves
|
I may or may not have misread your previous post due mostly to not being awake yet
Also well done finding that pic, I imagine it took a bit of work to dig up |
Ohio State is not only NOT one of the best teams in the NCAA, it isn't even the best team in the Big 10. Projected seeding: 5.
|
Nah they will land a 3 with no issue I think. Losing to MU in MU was expected, losing to IU in IU was surprising, but the #1 team in the nation can say that as well. MSU in OSU is a bit hard to take though, wil make a split that much harder.
|
What bugs me about Michigan beating OSU is their schedule from here on out is incredibly weak and if we end up losing to you there will probably be a three-way tie for the B1G championship.
Michigan staying ahead in spite of a weak schedule? Gee that sounds familiar, we had to deal with that during the football season >: |
I agree with mailcall about us definitely not being the best in the big10, I even believe our tourney run this year is going to end in the second round. Our skillset isn't really solidified on perimeter which wasn't a problem last year with diebler but now you can clearly see that struggle.
Hate to say it, but it looks like MSU is starting to work the Izzo magic, hell, I wouldn't be surprised to see them in the final four this year. |
I am more of the wait and see attitude
OSU may not look as strong in the Big 10, but let's face it, without question it is the division with the most depth this year in basketball. I could see OSU getting in to the sweet 16 if they draw a good enough spot. But time will tell on that. MSU is the best team in the best division though, they wil be making a ton of noise when March Madness comes along. Possible the kind of noise that gets them in the finals |
Man I don't wanna tie for #1. Boooooooo :(
|
Not that it's any interest to anyone except myself, but Penn has clawed its way to within a half-game of Harvard in the Ivy League. If they should happen to beat Princeton on Tuesday, they will play a one-game playoff to see which team represents the league in the tourney. (For the first game, anyway.)
Go Quakers! |

Izzo probably beat up twenty more clipboards in the locker room after the game.
|
Now Drexel has to await the blessing of the NCAA. >:
|
I think Drexel would make the tourney a better place, give em one of those oddball not #16 play in games says I

I was scouring message boards the other day looking to find a gif of that. Lots of requests, but I don't think anybody made one yet. |
It would make a great avatar

|
Tubby Smith is overpaid and didn't deserve to beat Northwestern.
|
all hopes for UNC; duke students are douchenoodles
|
Your team beat mine on a big boat so I don't like them very much
|
I blame the wet floor, on a dry surface MSU beats UNC
|
UNC, UK and Xavier all get beat in the final of their conference tourney. Milhouse gets bragging rights over Pentegarn. Let March Mayhem begin! :rave
|
:gloat
|
Lets commence to the brackets now!
