i really enjoyed that Memphis/Gonzaga game tonight. Memphis is clearly the superior team but the Zags really kept themselves close enough, made a run at the end and kept sending Memphis to the line where they could not convert. Very good game and Gonzaga even had a chance at the end without most of their top big men most of the game. Scrappy effort for them, especially without the druggie in the middle.

Pitt is only up one on Washington.

And Michigan State is up 51-18 on Iowa :shock:





Iowa has overachieved in conference play this year. They are a bubble team but it is quickly bursting and if they squeek in they will get demolished if they get a tough 1st round game.

That wasn't shock that Iowa should be winning, but they should be within around 10 points of MSU. A big conference team should never be down by 35.

55-20

And Kansas beats Nebraska 92-39. 53 Points! 53 ******* points, wow they suck.

Marquette lost to Louisville. That's their third straight. The started the week tied for first in the Big East, but fall to seventh now. Most likely will fall from #13 to out completely. Not good for this time of year. :evil:

marquette's my 2nd favorite team but they piss me off they are SO inconsistent.

[sweetness34]

S. Illinois is going deep in the dance.

They play awesome defense, and that's going to carry them. Plus Tatum and Falker are studs, probably the best one-two punch in the conference. Shaw is a very solid big man and Mullins is a heady guard. I also like Tony Young a lot.

I think this team has a shot at the Elite 8. MVC teams have been doing very well in the dance lately, and SIU is my 2nd favorite college team behind U of I.

My buddy rang me up after they won, and it was nuts down in Carbondale. Haha I could barely hear him talking. I guess he was at a big party for the game.

Btw...From what I've heard, Warren Carter might not play tomorrow against NW. Combine that with Smith and Carlwell not playing, and also Frazier, this could be bad. People are going to look at our record and say we were mediocre, but for those of you who have followed us at all this season, we've had **** luck this season, and it's a shame b/c we're a talented ballclub. :cry:

NMSU beat Ohio. WOOOOOOOHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Number 4 on Ohio's team was hitting 3's from 10 feet behind the 3 point line all game long. He's like a shorter J.J Reddick.

Unbelievable game. Down by 18 at halftime, then come back to win in the last minute. I'm so lucky that I was there.

Yeah, I was there too. Not too many people came since it was so late. That white boy was kicking our ass. The half court trap was killing us in the first half since they would always break it and our guys couldnt get back in time. I dont think we could have done any worse that first half.

Dudley, you can go to hell. Damn you!!

[NYGibril28]

^ feedback...i had a little trouble with the Freshman team outside of Durant

[WildDude]

well it dosent look bad actually but heres mine

G. DJ Augustin really taking some heat off durant
G. Jarvis Crittenton hes actually making more of an impact than thaddeus
F. Kevin Durant nuff said
F. Brandin Wright really making his mark on a deep team
C. Greg Oden best and most productive big man in the country
spencer hawes came a close second to oden

good list...im gonna drop Dyson and Anderson from my list and add Crittenton and Oden.

[WildDude]

yeah i like tajuan porter hes really doing great good idea keeping him there i just had brandin wright because he i believe is leading all the freshmen in fg percentage at the 60 range and hes on one of the deepest teams in the country... if u were to make a second team i do like wayne ellington

G Mike Conley, Ohio State
G Wayne Ellington, UNC

C Spencer Hawes, Washington


Is Conley a JUCO transfer? I know someone from OSU is

Edit: Took Jerome Dyson off in favor of Ryan Anderson. Dyson's been good, especially as of late, but Anderson has better numbers, and that matters when the teams they represent aren't tourney teams. If this was a typical UConn team, and Dyson had those numbers, he'd be 1st team Freshman no doubt.

[WildDude]

oh yeah it looks good... naw its othello hunter but he hasnt amounted to anything anyway

No, Conley was on the same HS team as Oden. I know, how sick is that. :shock:

Not only did he ditch U of I, but his high school coach is Bruce Weber's brother! Weber can't get the cream of the crop in Illinois (Scheyer, Rose).

They really weren't that amazing. They won state two years but I remember my alma mater almost took them down last year, the year AFTER we lost Josh McRoberts.

You have no idea what you're talking about Nick, no clue at all.

Scheyer said he had dreamed of playing for Duke all his life, and that no matter what Weber tried to do, he was Duke all the way. Weber recruited the hell out of him and he chose Duke. Weber couldn't really do much more to get him to come.

Rose didn't come to Illinois mainly because of Eric Gordon. EJ committed early and DR wanted no part of playing with EJ, so he looked elsewhere. Then when EJ switched to IU, DR took a look at us again. I won't say EJ "screwed" us out of DR, but he had a hand in it.

Anywho, Illinois won by 11 today. It was an ugly game but after this week, I wouldn't taken a win no matter how ugly it was.

It's not like this is something new. It's common knowledge Weber isn't a good recruiter, but he's a great in-game coach. Who's the biggest prospect he's ever landed from in the state?

His biggest in state recruit since he has been here has probably been either Brain Carwell, or Demetri McCamey, both of who are top 100 recruits. Yeah they are not the top guys in the state of illinois but they are very good players.

They reported that the only reason the final decision was between IU and Memphis is because EJ went to IU. So I'm sorry to let you know this but EJ's commitment to U of I should have helped, not hurt Webber.

Oh so it's coincidence that DR has no interest in Illinois when EJ is committed, but all the sudden when EJ decommits, he has interest in Illinois again. Hmmm something sounds fishy there. And also, do you have a source that can condradict this? Because I've heard from multiple websites that this was the case.

Hell, a couple of the top recruits in Illinois shunned us because EJ was committed.

They loved each other and wanted to play together.

Nothing fishy. Nothing false. Very well documented over the past year.

Yes, I know they played AAU ball together, but there is a reason why DR decided to give us one last look when EJ decomitted.

I'm a member of the IB (Illini Board) and everything I've read on there has stated that in the end, DR really didn't want to play with EJ in college.

And why should his committment have helped Weber (one B buddy, not two)? I don't get that at all. Memphis was the clear leader all along in this, and Reggie Rose was quoted as saying in the Tribune I believe, "we wanted to be treated like rock stars when we visisted earlier in the recruiting process, but we weren't." Well sorry Reggie for not bowing down to you on your visit.:roll:

Like I said, there was a reason why DR took a look at us late, and I only find it funny that he did so when EJ decommitted. Either it was really wierd timing, or he didn't want to play with Eric in college. And notice when EJ committed, he cooled off on IU and focused of Illinois and Memphis.

Eric Gordon's decision put a huge dent in our program. He basically made Weber look like an ass with what he did and he forced Bruce to scurry around to find one last recruit, in which we got lucky in getting Quinton Watkins, a 4 star player from California. He should have decommitted from our program if he was that unsure about things, and Santions should have been classy enough to call Weber and let him know what was gonig on. It was a big mistake by both player and coach that really hurt a basketball program with rich tradition.

very random, but does anyone else hate it when there's something white in the background behind the hoop, so you cant really see if the ball goes in or not? both ends in the game right now theres white advertisment and it pisses me off.

[yo123]

Can someone tell me why Cartier Martin doesnt start?

[yo123]

Kansas State is falling apart.

[sweetness34]

I hate Bill Self and Kansas. :evil:

[dcrls]

Kansas State is falling apart.

i know :cry: it saddens me, i really wanted to see an upset. they havent beaten kansas in like 17years.

[M.O.T.H.]

Arizona has had been so hard too watch this season. So inconsistant.
It's only gonna get worse when we lose Chase next year.

You are getting a stud in Bayless though.

Shakur... I could do without to be honest...He was supposed to be so much more. I miss the good ole days with... Andre Igudola, Hassan Adams, Channing Frye, Ivan Radenovic, Salim Stoudemire... not that was a team.

Well, I have high hopes for Mccllelan and Jordan Hill next year.

Semi-related... I think Hassan Adams is going to end up being a hell of a pro. He's getting a little PT this year, especially with Richard Jefferson's constant injuries.

[M.O.T.H.]

Yeah... they may be losing Chase but, I'm very excited with the additions of Bayless and Horne.

Just a minor complaint. Does it HAVE to do with the others team? I mean, UM/OSU I know how it pains people, but I feel like more pain could be done to you two some other way...

A tough loss for Kansas State last night....But in a news paper today in Philadelphia a pretty good quote by Bobby Knight. The new rule that says players must be atleast a year removed from high school before entering the NBA is "the worst thing that's happened to college basketball since I've been coaching", Texas Tech coach Bob Knight said. Knight said an athlete who plans to enter the draft after a year has no incentive to attend classes: He certainly doesn't have to go to class the second semester".

I couldnt agree with him more.

Knight is a loser. Kevin Durrant's comments on how he would have gone wild is much more impactful than Knight's idea. Knight is hypothesizing, while Durrant is living proof.

Winningest coach for now. Coach K will have him in no time. Also, Knight is the winningest coach best he coached some 5 or more seasons than Dean Smith.

Knight is stuck in an era when his plaid suit coat and tough coaching tactics were king. He is no longer in touch with the real issues that plague NCAA Basketball: that the system is just a stepping stone for the NBA. Players don't care about the tradition as much as they used to. Knight needs to realize this so his paradigm can shift to at least the 80's.

His dad commited suicide and he started working for a trash company....... Your top 5 is hilarious Coach K number 1 is hilarious to me. You dont even have John Wooden on your list?

My apologies to Wooden. I don't know how I forgot him. He definitely deserves to be in the top 2.

As for Bird, he left because Knight was a prick. Hitchhiking back then was commonplace, and I would not make any notes of that.

Yes, as he was the HD against the biggest margin of defeat against UK. As he lost to Northwestern, as he recruited talent that NEVER materialized, as he lead us to a first round loss to Vandy...in the NIT...POSTSEASON.

Davis blows. One victory doesn't make me like a coach. A season of success, like Sampson's year is what makes me love a coach.

I do admit that I am biased, as being an IU alumnus. I hate Knight, and I just feel that the difference between him and Smith is the ability to change over the years. Also, Knight didn't win the Big Ten Championship in his last 10 years or something at IU. Also, he had a surprisingly less than stellar record in the NCAA tourney.

Most Overrated Coach: Jim Calhoun

Calhoun is a great recruiter though, that's why he's considered a success.

Most overrated: Steve Lavin. People act like he had amazing success at UCLA. in the running: Rick Majerus. He is an EXCELLENT commentator, but his teams were no powerhouses.

[thetedginnshow]

Personally, I'd put it as:

1. John Wooden
2. Bob Knight
3. Coach K
4. Dean Smith
5. Adolf Rupp

I think the success Wooden had unquestionably puts him at the top. I'd put Knight second due to amazing success he had with for the most part, decent talent. Coach K would be the same, and really gets that third spot after his career is over. With Smith, I think it was more unparalleled talent in that program rather than great coaching ability, but for the recruiting, I'd put him 4. And the success Rupp had would put him at 5.

yeah but the thing was that u didnt even mention him in ur last top 5 when he is unquestionably the greatest coach of all time- dean smith, theres no denying the wins he was able to get but with all that talent he had over the years i believe he should have won more than 2 national championships, bobby knight had the same championships but with alot less talent only one all-star in Isiah Thomas... coach K could easily end up being the greatest but as of now i wouldnt put him among the top 3 but maybe 4 or 5 rite now

He didn't beat Duke. Jared Jeffries and Coverdale did

I loved Tom Coverdale. He's what IU basketball is all about.

I'm obviously biased but I don't think it's farfetched to call Knight the greatest of all time. He has the most career wins and three national championships, and he did that without ever having a lot of talent. Only one IU player really ever had a lot of success in the pros, and that was Isiah Thomas. He also did the "right way" as many fellow coaches mentioned after he broke the record. He not only helped his players on the court, but almost any Knight player I've ever heard says that he made them a better man. He stressed graduation rates and discipline and made IU an elite program. Not to mention he mentored 11 (I think) current NBA and college head coaches.

[NYmoney]

lmao nice coaching rankings it really goes like this

1. John Wooden
2. Bobby Knight
3. Adolph Rupp
4. Dean Smith
5. Coach K

Coach K will probably finish near the top or at the top when it is all said and done if he can continue to keep this winning pace.

You mean his 2 game winning streak? J/P

lol. I stand on my list:
1. Coach K
2. Bob Wooden
3. Dean Smith
4. Adolph Rupp
5. Bob Knight

Knight did have talent. He drove off that talent. See: Larry Bird. Therefore, that should count against him. Also, he had excellent COLLEGE BALL talent. See: Steve Alford, Quinn Buckner, Kirk Hastings. I believe they were great college ball talent because of how college ball is played, not because of their coach and/or system. Knight had success, but that success has GREATLY tailed off over the past decade.

IU could have had 6 National Championships if he had realized he wasn't an NBA caliber player. Then again, Mike Davis could still have his job if that had happened.

You can't blame him for cashing in on his success. HE was the 14th pick that year, and his stock was never going to be higher. I applaud him for looking out for himself.

And he rode the bench all year long. I honestly don't know why he went that high, he was never that dominant at IU.

I completely agree. I believe that is why Kirk did what was best for him. He had success against MSU and decided to cash in. You go to college to learn a trade, and Kirk fooled Charlotte into making him think he had master the PF trade.

Looking for:
Nick Bam

If you have interest in joining post, but you must be a fan of one of the teams, and will need approval.

As you may have noticed, currently Nick Bam is wearing the "motion W" as his avatar. It will be the same kind of bet, Winner chooses loser's avatar but it must be related to one of the teams. The time period is still undetermined, but I'm thinking until the Big Ten finals, as we could meet in the tourney and do another one.

count me in because there is no way on God's green earth that OSU can beat Mr. Tucker and the Badgers :D

What a great game that was. The early years of the Mike Davis era were truly great.

Some bad news regarding Jamar Smith per ESPN.com:

University of Illinois basketball player Jamar Smith -- charged Tuesday with drunk driving and leaving the scene of an accident -- apparently believed the teammate in the passenger seat of his car had died, authorities said.
"It appears that Smith was distraught, as he believed Carlwell had died in the crash," Rietz said in a written statement.
Aggravated driving under the influence is a Class 4 felony that carries a sentence of up to 12 years in prison. Leaving the scene is a Class 3 felony and carries a sentence of up to five years in prison, Rietz said. Someone convicted of either charge, though, could be placed on probation, she added.

I personally think he's done at U of I based off of what I've heard and what I've read. I know IU fans, Iowa fans, scUM fans, and tOSU fans hate us, but this is a serious situation and myself being a die hard Illinois fan, this is not a good time right now. Carlwell was almost killed in the accident, so I ask you guys to keep these two guys in your minds. Thank you.

Illinois will get in over Iowa. The Hawkeyes had a terrible non-coference. And I doubt 5 teams get in from the Big 10. It's a race b/w MSU, Illinois, and Iowa right now IMO. If we can win out, which is possible, I think we get in.

MSU has a TOUGH schedule left. Iowa has a cake walk in playing Penn State, and then they play us. And we have Iowa, Penn State, and Michigan.

Whoever does the best in the Big 10 Tournament will really help their cause. I'd like nothing more than to get in to the tourney this year with all that we've been through.

Tell that to the jag ass refs who took Augie out of the game and let May do whatever the hell he wanted. God I'm still pissed off about that game. If we could've hit an open shot in game, we would've won by about 15 points. :roll:

Keep in mind too that Illinois plays very well at the UC usually at the B10 tourney. I think Iowa gets ousted in the first round. Outside of Holuska, they really don't have anyone.

Like I said, they had a terrible non conference this year, and even though they're 6-6 in the Big 10, they'll have to make at least the Semis to get in IMO.

Well then we should to for our reputation. MSU has a tough schedule left where I think they go 1-2. The 4th spot IMO is b/w Iowa and Illinois.

And we just helped our cause tonight by beating Michigan by 12 points. Now we've got to win out IMO, that would make us 10-6 in the conference.

You guys need to prove that you can win a game on the road. I think all of your losses have come either on a neutral court or on a road game. I think you guys are a good team, but you need to fix that, especially come tourney time.

We've only played on a neutral court three tims, and the loss there was to Butler, so I think they can definitely win on neutral courts, but you're completely right. This team is very different on the road. They're always close, their average loss is by only 7, but they just can't finish it out.

17 straight to out of the tourney and being doubled up by a bad Duke team.

I'd argue them and LSU have had the most disappointing seasons this season. Highly ranked to mediocre basketball teams.

Btw, which conference is the strongest in CB right now? I'm beginning to think that the ACC is very overrated.

Wake isn't very good this season, GT is inconsistent, Duke is overrated, BC is inconsistent, Clemson fell off the map, Maryland is inconsistent, etc. UVA and UNC have been the best of the ACC IMO this season.

I don't think there's a dominant conference at all this year.

And still lost. St. Patrick's in NJ is an unbelievable team. One of my best friend's brother went to a smaller catholic school and had to play them when Character now on Louisville was just a junior. They had about 6 or 7 guys who were 6'7" and bigger on that one high school team.

If Wisconsin had beaten MSU, i would've picked OSU to win, but, now i think Wisconsin will come into the game with the proverbial "chip on their shoulder," and really stick it toOSU. Also, the talk after the last game was that in the next meeting between the two clubs, OSU would be much improved, while Wisconsin would be the same, and OSU is a young team, blah, blah, blah, and in the end, they would win in a convincing fashion, but that won't happen.

I think Michigan State and Ohio State win.

Im totally opposite then you. I think Wisconsin rolls and Indiana beats MSU.

I hope you're right, but the Hoosiers never seem to able to get it done on the road.

As for the OSU pick, I completely agree with what Sweetness said earlier. It's either a Wisconsin blowout, or OSU in a close one.

[SeanTaylorRIP]

Yes #12 Gtown beat #8 Pitt, say hello to the top 10, and #1 in the Big East.

I really don't they'll destroy them. IU doesn't win often on the road, but it's always close.

well.. yeah they won't destroy them i just wanted to say that.
I think it will be close but state gets the edge at home. State wants some payback from that loss at indiana also.

Those of you hoping to take part in the Wisconsin-OSU game bet, aren't. JBond didn't find any other OSU fans to do it so it will now be a head to head between him and I.

You did lose 4 first round draft picks and 2 of your top shooters last year. I expected a big drop off.

I know you got A.J. Price and some other very good players but I thought you had no business in the top 25. You'll be fine next year though.

Because they just beat Clemson and St. Johns. Oh yea, they beat BC too. They're on a 4 game winning streak, so the media and coaches thought they deserved to be back in the top 25, which they really don't, but whatever.

NYmoney, I suspect you know that the media has a raging hard on for the Dookies don't you? Then this really shouldn't be a surprise. And it was the backbone of my argument all year long.

If any other team lost 2 lottery picks and a star defensive guard returning 2 inconsistent starters that was not named Duke, they would not have been in the top 25.

Bilas said we had a shot to take the Big 10 in the preaseason. We have the talent my friend, but people look at our record and think that we aren't good. Well it's kinda hard to be good with a makeshift lineup every game and BAM doesn't even have a full squad to practice with.

This season has been heartbreaking for us because it feels like we never got the chance to get started.

Probably not, but that doesn't matter. If you had the injuries we've had, you wouldn't even be talking about a national title right now.

What I do know though is that what I saw b/w the #1 and #2 team this season on Sunday did not indicate two teams who can win a title. I think Wisky is a nice team, but without Butch I don't think you guys make the Elite 8. Hell, I'll call it out and say no Big 10 team makes the Elite 8.

Nah not at all, but noone has talked about them since the game, and they are in serious trouble now.

I also likje A&M because I believe they match up very well with texas but it should be a very good game and very close.

This Longhorn/Aggie game is a great one!
