I just can't believe that Tim Hardaway Jr. had almost no offers. I think Michigan and Minnesota were his only big conference offers. How did Miami not notice this kid? Or any of the Florida schools for that matter?

JoeJoeBrown · 03-06-2011, 11:32 PM

Hardway is a player. He will end up being a good one. Can't believe between his own skills and those of his dad that he didn't have offers.

Still Diebler now is greater than Hardaway now. Don't think that will be true when you compare senior to senior, but that's no knock on Diebs. Just that Hardaway Jr has that much potential.

Bad is one thing, we are average.

O and Diebler sure is a good shooter, prolly a great shooter. Must suck knowing that he won't ever start in the NBA.. hello Kyle Korver

Your football team is so irrelevant that this conversation is pointless. Your team has never accomplished anything, nor will it ever accomplish anything in the sport.

This is not to wholly denigrate UNC sports. No one can deny the awesome history of UNC basketball. I actually pull for the team when I'm watching a game (not involving OSU).

I don't really care if Diebler starts in the NBA. He's doing great now, when it matters. Maybe he can play from the bench with Hansbrough when he gets there. Not that it matters, nobody watches the crappy NBA anymore. I'm afraid the lockout is going to severely wound it.

I know but you had to say something! <3 no but I am glad you do.

Physco T has looked solid in some of his starts but you right he would be better suited for the bench... Diebs is a straight role player, T Hans has potential to start but aaaaaaay he probably won't pan out.

I too expect Diebs to play overseas after riding the NBA bench for a year or two. He is money when he is open. I don't think that he's quick enough on his release to fill that gunslinger role that he would have to play. Guards in the NBA are too quick for him to get open much. He would be a liability on defense given the caliber of player he would likely have to guard.

Hansbrough is actually playing better than I expected. His toughness and effort are working better in the NBA than I would have thought.

I hope OSU does not get UNC in their bracket.

Honorable Mention
All-Big Ten: Tim Hardaway Jr., Michigan

Absurd.

My buddy wants to take a roadie to the Patriot League Championship, for our Lafayette Leopards...but I doubt I'll be able to get off of work.

You are right, the lists are a joke.

WRT All B1G, Tim started playing very well the last half of the season. I can see why some of the mush heads slighted him.

Matta will never win a COY. Apparently two road losses and the number one team in the country isn't worth jack.

And Lighty not getting DPOY is stupid.

Wait, how was Sullinger not a unanimous selection?

Looking at the lists again and the people who vote for these things are idiots. Flat out. Hardaway was at least a 2nd teamer. At least.

Nice to see a Big East tourney win against an in state rival.

Villanova is awful, I've never seen so much one on one basketball.

They deserve an 11 seed.

That was ******* awful. Worst game in the Horizon League for us in two months. I mean first I got to give props to Butler. I hate them, I want them to lose in the first round, and their fans are pricks. But there is a reason they are a spin away from being national champs. They played well. But lets face 4-19 in the first half. A lot of teams have players that have 4 FGs alone in the first half. We had 4 as a team. That was ugly. It looked like they weren't there at all. It was just flat out bad.

We should not, but the resume's probably too good. Too bad it's all from the beginning of the year. And I still think this year's on Coach Wright, individual talent's there and the defense hasn't been bad but the offense is atrocious.

etk · 03-09-2011, 01:11 PM

Best UCONN performance I've seen all year. Georgetown is a mess but that doesn't take away from the effort, physicality and execution on our side. Even Okwandu had a good game.

I'm expecting the Pitt game to be a classic.

Hurricanes25 · 03-09-2011, 03:40 PM

I'm glad St. John's got away with that win but the refs just ****** Rutgers over.

Bosanac01 · 03-09-2011, 03:41 PM

WTF referees that was ******* terrible, they should all get kicked out and not allowed to officiate again.

scottyboy · 03-09-2011, 03:42 PM

THAT WAS ******* HORSE ****
the johnnies are tough and a great game, but are you kidding me? we got ****** over by the refs THREE times in the final 14 seconds. what the ****?
