2010 ncaa

john wall debut anticipation?

The Harrison Barnes press conference was hilarious.

link?

I can't find it. I can only find the Q&A afterwards:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZDYLZlRwq4

Before this, he spent ages going through the strengths and weaknesses of each prospective team before ultimately introducing Roy Williams via Skype, and the crowd roared.

Look at all the placards!

Thursday should be fun - Tobias Harris is supposed to announce, then North Carolina/Ohio State and Cal/Syracuse at MSG, with winners and losers getting each other the next night.

As a Syracuse fan, this is about as stoked as I've ever been four games into the season.

xxxxxxxx (9:33:25 PM): lol something called lemoine college just beat syracuse in bball
xxxxxxxx (9:34:42 PM): their mascot is a dolphin

haha

missed u bill raftery

dude how old is this butler coach??

this kentucky/unc game is good

xp lol the butler coach does look like he belongs in middle school

Roy Williams loses his cool, has heckling fan ejected

lame

gat damn usc got raped for its one year of oj mayo.

i wonder when this will happen to kentucky

I'm sure everyone does it. Just in this case this one dude had a big ass mouth on some radio show or something and spilled the beans.

Will be interesting to see if something similar happens to the sc football program..

The theory goes that USC voluntarily imposed the self-sanctions on the basketball program to give the NCAA the appearance that they are policing themselves, to try and deflect NCAA scrutiny from the football program, in the hopes that the claim "we're handling it internally" will be acceptable. USC could have done even worse to its basketball team without much long-term damage, but if the football team received serious penalties, it'd just about kill their athletic department.

Granted, I follow some extremely embarrassing UCLA fansites (where they are basically convinced that everyone at USC is a cheater and a criminal), but Pete Carroll is 100x more valuable to the school than Tim Floyd ever was.

lol north carolina

they made 12 less threes than c of c & still only lost by three. haven't looked at the box score so i'm confused as to how it happened.

it happened because bobby cremins is magical, apparently

well they shot 28 more fts & outrebounded them by 20, yes plus cremins

56 fouls called so far in nova/louisville, still 5:48 to play

ahahaha @_@

local sports anchor reports on unlikely half-court ncaa ticket prize fraud proceeds to freak out cameraman.

wow, great end in south carolina tonight. little 5'9 dude just wreckin shit

i fell asleep but that guy was superhuman against UF

can i just say that i love everything about kansas state?

1) their coach is hilariously unglued
2) they call their arena the "octagon of doom"
3) they wear purple for no apparent reason
4) they just went for it and put "k-state" on the uniforms
5) they use terrible italics block font

they're cheesy and have no tradition to speak of. it's awesome.

omg a k-state player just completed a successful classic sky hook

dude wall's lebronesque block today was @_@

whoops i slept thru this whole game

is it okay that i think that it was cooler that lebron was at the UK game than obama being at the georgetown game

jordan stop sleeping thru college basketball, this seems to be a running trend

yeah it is >:(

i watched the whole kentucky game tho

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaBn3cVmQo0

i didn't watch kentucky game; it was a blowout and i was watching kardashians tbh

well, i watched the senior bowl for the whole second half actually, but the first half was nice

"tebow struggles" appears to be all i need to know about that one

yerp

this guy clemente is a cock, he used to play at miami

that was a retarded shot

yooooooooooooo

wow

can't argue with that

jesus that has to be the most depressing way to end a game that i've seen in a while

OH GOODY THE X-GAMES

i know, so pissed

btw there was something really cool about that game which was both teams played as hard and as physical as they possibly could but everybody was cool with each other and there was no bullshit.

apparently he cusses out the kids who go to duke games for not getting loud enough--even during the bullshit early part of the sched.

this duke team is a lot like the unc team from last year, but less outwardly talented -- a group of guys that had played together for a while, hadn't been hit really at all by nba early jumps (aside from gerald henderson) and eventually just broke through to win the title -- guys like singler & nolan smith are quintessential great college bball players --- duke & their seniors def took advantage of a season that didn't have another elite team that had been playing together for years (altho you could prob say that butler qualifies)

also HE LOOKS LIKE A RAT

HI GUYS

coach k is a terrible interviewer on PTI, sounds really smarmy and guarded

well tbf the smarm drips off him

The fact that this game was so heavy at the end that Nantz couldn't even drop a one-liner makes me hopeful he will narrate a winning putt by Tiger on Sunday at 18 by saying "You gotta do this for me. Huge. Quickly."

All is good in the world.

singler was really impressive. i think i kind of mentally wrote him off way back when he was too hyped as an nba prospect, but he really is about all you could hope for as a college player.

I have no idea if Scheyer is a decent dude or an asshole or what, but maaaaaan that is such a punchable face.

OTOH my only problem with Kyle Singler is that he doesn't have that sweet floppy hair he had going in Gunning For That #1 Spot.

David Brooks: A few hours after that atrocity of opening day, Duke went on to beat Butler for the national championship. You should know that Duke is one of my alma maters. I am very generous in my definition of alma maters. I claim that affiliation with any school I went to, taught at, lived near (Villanova and St. Johns) or parked at.

Unlike 90 percent of America, I was rooting for Duke last night. This was widely cast as a class conflict — the upper crust Dukies against the humble Midwestern farm boys. If this had been a movie, Butler’s last second heave would have gone in instead of clanging off the rim, and the country would still be weeping with joy.

But this is why life is not a movie. The rich are not always spoiled. Their success does not always derive from privilege. The Duke players — to the extent that they are paragons of privilege, which I dispute — won through hard work on defense.

Gail Collins: I’m sorry, when the difference is one weensy basket, I’d say Duke won neither by privilege nor hard work but by sheer luck. But don’t let me interrupt your thought here. I detect the subtle and skillful transition to a larger non-sport point.

David Brooks: Yes. I was going to say that for the first time in human history, rich people work longer hours than middle class or poor people. How do you construct a rich versus poor narrative when the rich are more industrious?

srsly why is the american middle class and poor just so lazy these last 2 years?

UGH I didn't think there was a way I could hate David Brooks EVEN MORE DAMN YOU AMON

UGH

currently resides in Bethesda, MD ;)

what the living fuck

take the red line, pay him a visit

i saw him walking around bethesda once, he's shorter than i imagined. also saw tommy freidman

be careful with your words amon, an anonymous ilxor might pretend to be david brooks and call you up for that threat

please interrupt his point! by all means!

never in my wildest dreams did i think that my hatred for Duke and Dr. Bobo would come together in such a horrific fashion

?¿?

nevermind

What is the sociocultural equivalent of flopping to take a charge?

you mean flopping after you shoot a three

Either way. I feel like someone has compared the Euro-football flopping trend to some kind of creeping European socialism before, somewhere, come to think of it. I totally forget where, though.

*Euro-football-derived

brooks is a complete moron shocker but it's not like butler was that much better to root for

o man is scheyer face going to nba :(((

lol

tourney only expanding to 68, thankfully

RIP big 12, you were a pretty good basketball league, but our fine public educational institutions care more about football money than just about anything else.

(of course you could say the same about basketball money vs all other college sports except football too)
