murray st/colorado st is a pretty brutal contest for some reason

How far will Syracuse make it without Melo?

dandydonweiner, Thursday, 15 March 2012 19:43 (thirteen years ago)

I would just like to put in my annual reminder that, contrary to popular wisdom, these games are way worse to watch than any solid NBA matchup. But if you enjoy botched alley-oops and endless perimeter passing

the prurient pinterest (Hurting 2), Thursday, 15 March 2012 19:59 (thirteen years ago)

Hey, Bruce Hornsby in the stands at UNC-Ashville v Syracuse!

the prurient pinterest (Hurting 2), Thursday, 15 March 2012 20:12 (thirteen years ago)

Syracuse is really killing them on rebounds. Too bad they can't make a shot to save their lives.

"any solid NBA matchup"

dandydonweiner, Thursday, 15 March 2012 20:24 (thirteen years ago)

BTW $3.99 for all games is awesome.

There are five NBA games on tonight. I guarantee you that in at least three of them you will see an intensity and level of basketball that blows all of today's games out of the water.

the prurient pinterest (Hurting 2), Thursday, 15 March 2012 20:53 (thirteen years ago)

long beach state is ballin

the prurient pinterest (Hurting 2), Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:08 (thirteen years ago)

what's goin on in the syracuse game, i see twitter blowing up about the reffing

3hunn O))) (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:40 (thirteen years ago)

several bad calls that went against asheville

mookieproof, Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:40 (thirteen years ago)

what a shame, cuse is a joke anyway

3hunn O))) (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:41 (thirteen years ago)

weird lane violation call, terrible out-of-bounds call, etc.

still pretty amazing that asheville did so well with their leading scorer in the tank

mookieproof, Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:41 (thirteen years ago)

dickey, 1-13 from the field

mookieproof, Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:42 (thirteen years ago)

no crying in the ncaa, ashville

johnny crunch, Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:43 (thirteen years ago)

h8 all these teams wearing grey home unis

mookieproof, Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:44 (thirteen years ago)

cuse will prob get by KSU but vandy might wax them

3hunn O))) (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:44 (thirteen years ago)

man that asheville ending was depressing

especially since I picked them as an upset in the first round and they came so close

the prurient pinterest (Hurting 2), Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:46 (thirteen years ago)

Can someone explain the benefit of the ridiculong shot clock in NCAA? I see so many plays where they kill like 10 seconds passing back and forth btw the same two dudes with no other significant changes in court position for the team.

the prurient pinterest (Hurting 2), Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:48 (thirteen years ago)

I can't watch Harvard/Vandy, what's the deal

I see my boys are down 10 but shouldn't Vandy have scored more than 33 pts in the half if things were dire?

thuggish ruggish Brahms (DJP), Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:48 (thirteen years ago)

harvard/vandy was pretty tight until the end of the half iirc

mookieproof, Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:56 (thirteen years ago)

also: http://atdhenet.tv/44684/watch-harvard-vs--vanderbilt

mookieproof, Thursday, 15 March 2012 21:59 (thirteen years ago)

harvard shouldve got like a 15 seed, theyre terrible

johnny crunch, Thursday, 15 March 2012 22:05 (thirteen years ago)

the $3.99 thing is really worth it. I wish the NBA would offer something that was the same price per game and had no blackouts

the prurient pinterest (Hurting 2), Thursday, 15 March 2012 22:09 (thirteen years ago)

this Ware kid is legit

the prurient pinterest (Hurting 2), Thursday, 15 March 2012 22:12 (thirteen years ago)

long beach/ nm is legit the best 1st rd game

johnny crunch, Thursday, 15 March 2012 22:15 (thirteen years ago)

'the beach'

mookieproof, Thursday, 15 March 2012 22:16 (thirteen years ago)

this ware kid is . . . not afraid to shoot the ball, that's for sure

mookieproof, Thursday, 15 March 2012 22:27 (thirteen years ago)

nice showing by sdsu tonight

call all destroyer, Friday, 16 March 2012 02:00 (thirteen years ago)

playing in pittsburgh did not seem to help west virginia

mookieproof, Friday, 16 March 2012 02:02 (thirteen years ago)

who is this royce white kid for iowa state? 6'8'' 260 bringing the ball up the court and a great passer.

Moreno, Friday, 16 March 2012 02:42 (thirteen years ago)

this whole iowa state team is fun to watch

Moreno, Friday, 16 March 2012 02:47 (thirteen years ago)

think white's a little bit of a headcase, but he makes that team go when he's on.

circles, Friday, 16 March 2012 02:52 (thirteen years ago)

I went to ISU. White has clinical anxiety and is on meds, there's all kinds of real issues with him. He's also the second best passer in the NCAA this year (next to UNC's Marshall.) Oh, and his move to the bucket is as good as anyone playing.

ISU can play with anyone. Zero 3 pointers in the second half against UConn, so I don't need to hear from anyone that they only win on their 3 point game. They're not going to beat Kentucky, unfortunately.

― dandydonweiner, Friday, March 16, 2012 7:14 AM (1 hour ago)

well yes this is probably why they were outscored by 10 points after the threes stopped dropping

been to lots of college and twitter (k3vin k.), Friday, 16 March 2012 12:57 (thirteen years ago)

white did look like a beast though. 6'8", 270! insane numbers too

UNLV might be the stupidest basketball team i've ever seen

3hunn O))) (J0rdan S.), Friday, 16 March 2012 13:55 (thirteen years ago)

one of the worst end of game offenses i've ever seen even by college standards

3hunn O))) (J0rdan S.), Friday, 16 March 2012 13:57 (thirteen years ago)

Former hawks coach Lon Kruger! What terrible days those were. He's done pretty well the the rebels though

Moreno, Friday, 16 March 2012 15:17 (thirteen years ago)

i might get a nosebleed in these 1st sesh tix in nashville

nothing like c&w & whisky @ 10 am guh

johnny crunch, Friday, 16 March 2012 16:28 (thirteen years ago)

lol @ texas with 2 points after 12 minutes of play

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Friday, 16 March 2012 16:44 (thirteen years ago)

texas is a worse team than unc ashville by a wide margin

johnny crunch, Friday, 16 March 2012 16:48 (thirteen years ago)

the worst case for davis is, idk, stromile swift

dayo, Sunday, 1 April 2012 18:52 (thirteen years ago)

if you put him in the pros today hed prob be better than peak stro swift

J0rdan S., Sunday, 1 April 2012 19:43 (thirteen years ago)

there is no good comparison for Anthony Davis, which is why he's so intriguing.

pitino accidentally shows his real face, calipari is more pro

Rick Pitino = Bethenny Frankel. Just had to get that out there.

Sufjan Grafton, Monday, 2 April 2012 15:35 (thirteen years ago)

calipari doesn't have a real face tho

mookieproof, Monday, 2 April 2012 15:41 (thirteen years ago)

troo

lag∞n, Monday, 2 April 2012 15:44 (thirteen years ago)

Q: If Calipari wins, and the championship is later vacated, will the secret trophy rooms in the heads of basketball announcers reflect this? Or will they continue to call him a champion?

brownie, Monday, 2 April 2012 16:21 (thirteen years ago)

the practice of repossessing schools wins is so silly, like yeah it never happened

lag∞n, Monday, 2 April 2012 16:33 (thirteen years ago)

Yeah, it is silly. But Calipari's image is too glossy, and that includes the image projected on him by most announcers. He should be forced to look like Smiegel to match his inner corruption. Bill Belichick's doing it right.

Sufjan Grafton, Monday, 2 April 2012 20:21 (thirteen years ago)

post on the nyt basketball blog today saying anthony davis' best comparison is c-webb in that both are crazily talented and could totally dominate games but may end up being viewed as "disappointments" bcuz of their passivity

J0rdan S., Monday, 2 April 2012 21:31 (thirteen years ago)

davis plays like a shooting guard who wished on a magic lamp for inspector gadget arms

First game I really got to watch Anthony Davis. Impressive player. Somewhat comparable to Kareem as a UCLA freshman.

Meanwhile, in the other NCAA basketball tournament, the Baylor Bears win the chip by finishing the season 40-0, behind 6'8" center Brittney Griner.

Cody Zeller and Christian Watford will both return for the Hoosiers next season.
