Final Day Of The Regular Season Open Thread
It's the last day of the regular season. I know its not as exciting as we'd hoped, but if anyone wants to chat about college hoops, be it Michigan or anything else going on in an insane week of action fire away. let's rap.
And, if you think I started this thread to pimp my own blog where we have posts today on the tournament bubble and watching my addiction ascend to new heights (we're thinking positively here), well, maybe you're right.
But I'd like to talk college hoops as well.
Let's end a tumultuous season on a positive note. Upset the Spartans and let's go to the NIT, which would be beneficial to this, still, young team.
Vegas favors the Spartans by 10 with an over/under of 128. Thoughts?
I think I'd take the under for points, and I'd probably take UM ATS but not SU.
Barring a major BTT run or possibly winning the whole thing Illinois has just punched their ticket to the NIT. Seeing McCamey and Webber have issues reminds me of Manny and Coach last year at Iowa.
Honestly, who fouls with 58.1 remaining down 11 points when Michigan is about to play? Can we just phone the rest of this garbage time in? Can we jump to meaningful coverage? Something!!!
I hope they do it for DeShawn... He deserves it
SEND IT BACK, DESHAWN!
Get that shit out Raymar. My least favorite Spartan by far.
sims is just... misses bank shots and looks lost on offense sometimes and then just goes Donkey Kong on defense. and then vice versa. can't wait to see if he can find the balance at the next level.
Sparty is mugging Peedi in the post annnnnnnnd no calls!
The shoes we're wearing today are LEGIT.
our shoes have wings!
MO-rris
Is sims stoned? God we need him to finish down low.
Peedi has been an animal on the offensive glass!
brought to you by Bo Ryan and Tom Izzo. I hate what these guys have done to this conference. UGLY Basketball!
Come on - stop giving away points at the line.
Stu Douglass = 2008 Stevie Brown of basketball
he sure misses a lot of open shots, and by lot I mean most.
taking terrible shots, defense terrible, bad passes, turnovers.....
I don't have a problem with the shot selection. We've just got to make them.
some good looks, but waaaaay too many turn around fade away 18 footers
Morgan's scowl makes me want to punch him in the face! UGH!
makes me want to punch him in the face
This doesn't end well.
They've figured out how to beat us down low and we still can't hit threes. Things are going to get ugly.
needs to turn the green light off for Douglass he's cold as ice right now and he's playing scared.
16 points already
We will lose by 40
This team has an uncanny ability to turn a potential 3-point play into zero points.
nobody blocks out... its almost as if they don't know how.
This is not really going the way I saw it in my head. We don't look ready to play at all :-(
can things get any worse?
I really don't think so.
Please don't ask that... they will.
Jordan Morgan is hurt.
Please don't ask again.
sometimes the philosophy behind this offense doesn't make sense to me
I'm about to punch my brother out of frustration from this game and for him criticizing me for getting worked up over the game. Is that bad?
Punch first, ask questions later.
That's how engineer beatdowns begin.
If you've given told him at least three times to STFU IDIOT then you have every right to punch him.
BUt he deserves those three chances
that you have a "zero tolerance (after the first three incidents)" policy?
It's ok to punch your brother under these circumstances. Hell look at Izzo he's jumping up and down crying and his team IS WINNING!
Since the game has caused me to go Oedipal and rip my eyeballs from my face, I'm going to need to get some sort of program that reads text from a page out loud. Any ideas? I could ask my wife to read your posts aloud to me over the breakfast table, but I think she's going to be pissed off at me for a while because I got pupil on the living room rug.
Your wife is your mother?
And that is one of the big aspects; now that I think about it, I believe that I said an air-balled three would cause me to rip my 'motherf*cking eyeballs out'. It's a good thing I'm not adopted.
for comic relief after the facial had been fully applied and nearly pissed myself over that one. I suppose it's tragic, in some sort of classical way, but. . . really good.
Definitely got a lucky call there on that tip slam. On a better note, how bout Ant swatting the shit out of Summers? I think that's who it was. Really need to cut it to like 8 by half if possible, which it isn't.
Is Sims nervous or something??? I haven't seen him play like this in a while. Hopefully he gets a pep talk at halftime to calm him down and get him back to his game
for the wnba
As good as he has been at times through his career, he has been equally frustrating at times. Am I crazy for wishing that his up and downs weren't as wild?
