Great hoops last night with Ariz/Ariz State game. Hopefully some of these are tight as another 2-4 inches of snow falls

was going to make a snarky comment about how specific the thread title was, but it's WH!!! i will happily STFU.
February 15th, 2014 at 12:10 PM ^
I can take snark. If you ever met my friends and family, you'd know that my life is filled with snark.

Some of the Massey predictions -
- Indiana only getting 53% against Purdue. It has come to that apparently.
- Iowa is a clear favorite (81%) against Penn State
- Ohio State is expected (72%) to handle Illinois

have seen. They will lose to Purdue. I still cannot believe we lost to Indiana.
February 15th, 2014 at 1:40 PM ^
We're getting revenge on Senior Day

Kenpom gives Michigan an 87% shot at winning, predicting a 74-63 score.
Sounds good to me.
February 15th, 2014 at 3:26 PM ^
but I want it to be by 30 and not 11. I don't know that there's a college coach I can't stand more than Tom Crean

I'm watching this VCU vs. St Louis game, and someday somebody is going to offer Shaka Smart an awful amount of money to come coach their college baskeball program. I'm thinking its gonna be dook.
February 15th, 2014 at 2:54 PM ^
The press is so low class though. Duke would never go for it.
February 15th, 2014 at 3:01 PM ^
Lets be honest, Coach Krzyzewski is a vampire, and vampires don't die. So Coach K will coach dook forever. UNC should hire Van Helsing is their coach.
February 15th, 2014 at 3:28 PM ^
Shaka I'm sure has been wooed by any number of "Big 6/7" schools and has chosen to stay at VCU. I think an NBA team will be the one to get him
February 15th, 2014 at 3:26 PM ^
No St. Louis-VCU? Good game going on right now.
February 15th, 2014 at 3:40 PM ^
and Pitt vs UNC were both good games with good finishes.
February 15th, 2014 at 4:33 PM ^
Yogi Ferrell looks like he should still be in high school
February 15th, 2014 at 4:50 PM ^
February 15th, 2014 at 5:37 PM ^
How the fuck did we lose to Indiana...
February 15th, 2014 at 6:05 PM ^
However, don't be surprised if we see a repeat this Purdue/IU game at Crisler. Close for the first 20-25 minutes then an absolute beatdown.
February 15th, 2014 at 6:28 PM ^
This is pretty much the only explanation at this point. Weird that place's power still stands in a year we've won in Breslin/Columbus/Kohl.
February 15th, 2014 at 6:04 PM ^
February 15th, 2014 at 6:10 PM ^
A shot of Tom Crean's tears. Hell, one for everyone in the house!
February 15th, 2014 at 6:54 PM ^
February 15th, 2014 at 8:02 PM ^
Anyone watching Maryland's last game at Cameron? Something about Duke always brings the best out of the Terps. Hopefully, MSU has the same effect on them from now on.
February 15th, 2014 at 8:07 PM ^
Tie game. Evan Smotrycz just scored for the Terps.
February 15th, 2014 at 8:17 PM ^
And then he can't come up with the rebound at the end and Duke retains possession. Hell of a finish though if they don't reset the shot clock, which seems to be the right call.
February 15th, 2014 at 8:24 PM ^
Well that ending didn't remind me of last year's IU game at all...
February 15th, 2014 at 8:25 PM ^
February 15th, 2014 at 8:28 PM ^
John Gasaway just tweeted something similar. Sucks to be on the losing interest of both of those shots.
February 15th, 2014 at 8:33 PM ^
Jay Bilas commending Duke for a great great close win over a terrible Maryland team. Color me shocked
February 15th, 2014 at 8:43 PM ^
leading by 3 with 2:30 in the first half.
February 15th, 2014 at 8:46 PM ^
when Della Valle gets called for an offensive foul on his way to waved-off score. And as I type, worthless Amir Williams with another stupid offensive foul (big surprise).
February 15th, 2014 at 8:58 PM ^
Syracuse...
February 15th, 2014 at 9:06 PM ^
February 15th, 2014 at 9:07 PM ^
Way to hand the game to Syracuse, Wolfpack. Second straight 1 point miracle by the Orangeman.
February 15th, 2014 at 10:18 PM ^
OSU-Illinois set back basketball another 10 years today. Woof!
February 15th, 2014 at 10:39 PM ^
February 15th, 2014 at 11:31 PM ^
Illinois is crap. They're getting worse, not better. I guess it wasn't a great idea to hire OHIO's coach after getting one good win (beating Michigan). OSU learned that the hard way too.
