UT generally had a hand in his face on all of the 3's but man, you can't even let him get the ball. They halfway tried to face guard him at times but that really didn't work. Box and 1 or something, Pearl is awful. He might bring in talent given his style of play but that will only get him so far. At this point UK plays just about as fast (less the press) and we're efficient in doing so.

All I could do when I woke up was smile, that game was awesome. There have been a lot of unforgettable performances here but this one is right up there at the top.

Did anyone see Knight Watch of Stephen Curry. Knight called said "he's as good a passer as has ever played college basketball"

Lot of good games tonight...

I'm most looking forward to Syracuse @ Georgetown. Another Big East Power battle.

Wake @ BC should be a good one too
Hopefully G-Tech can give Duke a battle

#1 Pitt in action, against South Florida, should be a blowout.

Cuse is playing pathetic tonight. Its like theyre letting GT score. Everyone, if you are still watching... Turn the channel.

With that said, never count Cuse out ;)

That was ugly, be glad you turned the channel.

Georgetown teaches fundamentals so well.

Turtlepower · 01-15-2009, 09:35 AM

Renardo Sidney seems to be an ASU lean now. I am still not sure if I really want him on the team or not. I know he is a great talent, but he is also a douche...

NYGibril28 · 01-15-2009, 09:38 AM

UConn tonight against St. John's. BLOWOUT CITY! UConn always plays well at the garden. Especially the days of Madison Square Gordon.

I'm sure your not scorned by anything he's done :D

CroomDawgs · 01-15-2009, 11:08 AM

Another win for State last night. Varnado with another double-double. If it weren't for Jodie Meeks Him and Pat Patterson would be close for SEC POY.

Big home test coming up with Vandy. It also sucks areo nly game with kentucky is in Lexington :(

And he's a sleazeball...So yes I dislike him for more reason than one. :D

But he's just not a very good coach. He had an awesome array of talent there at Tennessee last year and he allowed them to play street ball.

Plus he's a complete fake when he gets on TV. Guy's a douchebag and single handedly tried to ruin Illinois Basketball years back (along with Digger Phelps). He's known as "Satan" for a reason by Illini fans lol.

Even without the dirtiness he's still a bad coach. He doesn't teach fundamentals, he doesn't teach defense...It's AAU ball, and as a basketball fan it's bad to watch, just like with Memphis and any other team that just runs and guns up and down the floor. That's playground ********, not basketball.

Wisconsin is about to lose at home. Should have beaten Minnesota easily, but then let them right back in at the end. If Jason Bohannon wasn't so white we wouldn't even be in overtime.

That was a sad performance...Hughes over pursuing on defense at the end of regulation hurt too.

Gophers beat Wisky in Madison. Another impressive win.

the_legend_killer · 01-15-2009, 10:31 PM

Wow, that was ever the amazing choke-job by Wisconsin :(

WOO what a game. Westbrook was just playing out of his mind at the end there.

CroomDawgs · 01-15-2009, 10:35 PM

whats that only wisky's ninth loss at home in the Bo ryan era?

the_legend_killer · 01-15-2009, 10:42 PM

Something like that, it doesn't happen often. Given it was only Minnesota's third away game of the year, I was surprised how well they handled it down the stretch. Kudos.

yo123 · 01-16-2009, 12:55 AM

I <3 Lawrence Westbrook. The Gophers are no fluke. It's tough to go into the Kohl Center and come away with a win, especially if you have to come from behind.

Notredameleo · 01-16-2009, 01:13 AM

Chances UL beats Pitt this weekend? I'll put it at 45%...

I think Pitt wins by double digits.

More like 25%. Still have very inconsistent guard play.

djp · 01-17-2009, 01:59 PM

Yuck Duke. They flop at every opportunity and whine like girls when they don't get one out of twenty calls at home.

GTown is a little too dependent on Monroe as well

iowatreat54 · 01-17-2009, 02:07 PM

One more reason to hate Duke:

Their scoreboard/jumbotron that hangs from the ceiling is so low that it gets hit with a full court shot. I am already convinced that this is because Duke does not want any team making a miracle shot to beat them. This is why Duke sucks.
