Saturday Night Open Hoops Thread
Holy lord, what's on camera right now. That ain't right.
Hope they go down in flames tonight.
If you don't like pale white girls then you're not going to have a fun time at Duke.
I love pale white girls, but the girls at Duke are... just.... not attractive AT ALL!
You have to admire the dedication and spirit of the Cameron Crazies. I mean, there is putting on the school colors and then there is looking like you were near an explosion at a Sherwin-Williams paint store and then putting on a fright wig hoping no one will notice your injuries. To me, that is a dedicated fan - also, a deeply disturbed individual.
They are truly committed, no doubt. They are also a sad, strange, deeply antisocial bunch, and it's my opinion that they stopped being funny about thirty years ago.
Also, clearly none of them own mirrors. There ought to be a law against some of those outfits. Or at least someone could install some damn gym equipment in K-Ville.
O.K. Now I can relax.
Amazing how I hate both Duke and North Carolina but I love watching them play each other.
Easter Kentucky is up but only by 6 w/ 2 left. On ESPN2 now
Man, fuck ESPN for not showing a second of us cutting down the nets and putting all fifty minutes toward two teams playing to avoid the four seed in their conference. Bastards.
No kidding. Hopefully it will be posted online at some point. I'm also going to watch Big Ten Final on BTN because they tend to show more footage than the national outlets do.
UMHoops has a bit of footage from someone's phone who was on the court. http://www.umhoops.com/2014/03/08/video-michigan-players-coaches-celebrate-big-ten-championship/
Thank you
EKU looks like a dangerous team in the tourney if they can hold off Belmont here.
man fawk dook
Come on Tar Heels!
The refs are to bad calls at Cameron as crack addicts are to crack.
If the new rules speak to an offensive player starting his shooting motion, that offensive foul call is just absurd.
just clinched a NCAA Tournament berth with an upset over Belmont.
Dick Vitale is terrible these days. I wish he would retire. He literally says the same thing over and over and over and over....
Every play(er) is a "BIG TIME PLAY(ER), BABY!" My finger is always on the mute button just in case I can't handle it anymore.
Fair enough, but I have never really liked him and it just annoys me when I hear him say stuff about big time play(er)s constantly about everything throughout games. I don't hate the guy, I just prefer not to listen to him. Just a matter of preference. I wish Gus Johnson called games for ESPN.
I think Vitale is a schmuck, but that's just my opinion.
I don't really feel he adds anything to the game except a lot of noise. I think few people use more words to add less insight.
Rooting for either Duke or UNC in basketball feels like rooting for entitled douchebags battling against slightly less entitled douchebags.
Smash cut to "McAdoo's draft stock" sign should win an ESPY for live television production.
Iowa is really scuffling.
Iowa loses this game, and OSU beats MSU tomorow, we'd have Nebraska and OSU on our side of the BTT bracket, and Wisconsin, OSU, and Iowa on the other side, which would be nice.
OSU on both sides! But yeah, I am not afraid of Nebraska or Ohio State (especially OSU). Iowa I want no part of, even though the way they're playing defense right now, we could score like 140.
Haha damn, meant MSU for the other side. And I agree, having Iowa against our transition D isn't a great matchup. Give me OSU or Nebraska please.
I'd definitely rather have Iowa lose this and we face Ohio/Nebraska in the semis.
They're talking to an assistant coach? TV contracts will let you do that to the station? Glass just shattered in the minds of football coaches around the country.
Vitale loves Michigan too
looks like we have Nebraska/Ohio on our side of the bracket. Iowa/Wisconsin/MSU all on the other side.
Only if OSU beats MSU tomorrow. Otherwise Iowa is the 5 and OSU is the 6.
Illinois just drained a 3 with 0.3 seconds left. Illinois leads Iowa 66-63.
Iowa just has no one that they can turn to at the end of a game. So many close losses at the end of games.
Marble should be that guy. He is so effective on offense for most of the game, but something just ain't right with that team.
The collapse by Iowa has been about as fascinating and horrible (look away) as one could imagine.
This is like watching a guy get knocked out in slow motion, a slow, sickening slump and crumble to the canvas.
Iowa this year really reminds me of our Amaker teams. I remember the pain of those late-season losing streaks (and late-game meltdowns) all too well. Now they just need a first-round BTT loss to top it off.
Very true - and a totally terrible memory.
Iowa is just a very stupid basketball team. Gesell gives away the foul with a 5 second shot/game clock differential. And then White plays for the steal instead of actually affecting the shot.
That was definitely a terrible foul, and man, Iowa has some kids who are strangely incredulous when they commit obvious fouls. Woodbury's reaction was hilarious.
I hate Duke, UNC, and Kentucky not because they win, but because there's always that guy you know that is a fan of one college football team but he's a fan of one of those three in basketball. And expects you to take him seriously.
Nebraska just got 4th place didn't they? Incredible. Miles deserves COY.
They'll get 4th as long as they beat Wisconsin or MSU beats OSU.
Please add the /sarcasm.
There is only one Big Ten COY and that's our man, Beilein.
Annnnnnd Vitale goes back to singing Sparty's praises. Just give them the trophy now.
Oh, FUCK YOU ESPN for showing the Evan Turner shot.
I have to root for those assholes tomorrow.
You don't HAVE to.
