Jimmy's right..that oop to GRIII was a top dunk of the year, Big Ten at least.  That was dirty.  I screamed "Donkey balls" for some reason, it was so big.

that we all hate how they always start slow, but I love how I'm getting less and less concerned.  It's as if they just get a feel for the flow and what the other team wants to do then impose their will.  Plus, when they can heat up faster than a microwave, no lead for an opponent is safe.

I know it's just halftime and I've jinxed the second half, but this team has ridiculous poise.

What a great end to the half. GR3 oops where he teabags Austin Hollins, 3 by Nik, great passing leading to a alley oop layup for GR3. Oh and great defense. Love watching them play like this.

Too many 3 pointers...although some were good shots they just were not falling. Now they have the transition game going....WILL OPEN UP ALL!

Go Blue!!!!!

I don't think any of the comments were out of line or inaccurate, just commenting on what we see. UNLIKE football threads where we can be up 30 in the first half vs. a MAC team and someone is still complaining. This basketball game was a bunch of bricked 3's, then an aesthetically unappealing comeback, THEN an awesome last few minutes. The comments just match.
