Lets stop jacking up the 3's and pound it inside.

That will be my motto after yesterday.

Not for Duke. It'll always be "Live by the 3, die by the 3". Albany better stop double teaming or Duke will shoot threes the rest of the game.

Still believe in those country boys over @ Wisconsin..

But Henderson still has me a little nervous today.

Trogdor · 03-22-2013, 11:45 AM

Holy hell are the officials ignoring a lot of contact in the Duke game.

A little refreshing after yesterday though - they were calling everything.

Yeah it's just inconsistent. I am with you though I want every game like this.

This, this and more of this. Unfortunately, I will be at work.

Brodeur · 03-22-2013, 11:56 AM

I hate Marshall Henderson.

I don't really care about his cockiness, but he's just not that good.

He's like a really poor man's Allen Iverson.

Living under the bridge poor man's Iverson.

They would be a much better team if he realized that he's not their best player, Murphy Holloway is.

Ready for your boys to show up big today.

yo123 · 03-22-2013, 12:11 PM

I'm ready for them to embarrass themselves because everyone is picking them and they can't handle that.

The Crimson shot 52 percent for the game -- that's almost 15 percent better than New Mexico's stingy defense normally allows. New Mexico, meanwhile, shot only 37 percent.

"We can't shoot for them," Alford said. "We've had games like that, several games where we haven't shot the ball well. It's a glaring weakness on this basketball team."

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Steve Alford.

It's pretty standard for a coach to say the team didn't shoot well or that they a weakness that keeps popping up. But why is it necessary to introduce himself (and his staff) into the equation by saying "we can't shoot for them"?

Good job making sure everyone knows it wasn't your fault the team lost, if it were up to you then NM definitely would have beat Harvard. It's amazing how someone can move across the country and 8 or so years later some things haven't changed...

EDIT: Also, this is hysterical:

That's not really a very good comparison. And why the hell is that game not working on NCAA.com? STEP IT UP DANGIT.

Just gotta hope Tubby has them ready to come out firing.

And yes, pretty classless on Alford quote.

Yeah, again, I really just don't understand how people thought the Mountain West conference was so good. They seem to drop turds every year in the tourney, so why this was supposed to be different I dunno.

Sometimes the obsession with parity and small schools in college basketball can be blinding. For every Butler and Gonzaga there are thousands of smaller programs that are just ok.

He probably should of written that saved as a draft then re-evaluated at a later time.

bearsfan_51 · 03-22-2013, 12:20 PM

Also, I've noticed an absence of any UNLV discussion. Is ph the new massnole?

BallerT1215 · 03-22-2013, 12:20 PM

ginger on Wisconsin has thrown the ball away about 4 times in the 1st half.

Maybe it'd be more accurate to say Marshall Henderson plays like he wants to be compared to AI? Undersized volume shooter who is a cocky thug. I should have probably emphasized the 'really poor'
