NCAA HOOPS THREAD! -- K petitions to get Maui Jim Maui Invitational moved to Transylvania (14 Viewers)

[Nipsey]

Today we are all Mercer Bears.

Amen.

 

[sporthenry]

How dare they even put another game on during the Duke game.

 

[TobiasFunke]

Today we are all Mercer Bears.

Amen.

How do we tell our brethren to stop helping on the interior and guard the line?

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Anyone using the streaming online to watch games? I'm amazed how that site is able to handle so much traffic without crashing. I wonder how many billions of dollars it cost them?

I imagine they have a few different servers.

It's pretty impressive how it's come along.

I remember the first year(s) when you had to wait in a queue to get into a viewing session. Video quality seems better now, too. Probably also due to hardware/software advances on the user end too.

 

[Nipsey]

Ron Mercer U keeping it close!

 

[Abraham]

Today we are all Mercer Bears.

 

[Nipsey]

Hadn't seen Brian Dennehy in a while, didn't know he was coaching Mercer.

 

[Captain Quinoa]

Bears lead!!

 

[Sinn Fein]

hmm - I am a Mercer Bear (among others).

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Has Coach K opined on the strength of the Atlantic Sun?

 

[Good Posting Judge]

ESPN reporting that Calhoun's interested in the BC job.

 

[Nipsey]

Don't worry Duke fans, if you lose this game Yankees season opener right around the corner.

 

[GOB]

Coach K is going to throw a hissy fit if they lose.

HE MOLDS YOUNG MEN INTO LEADERS, GODDAMMIT!

 

[Mr. Know-It-All]

Watching the Nebraska-Baylor stream and have come to the conclusion if NU coach Tim Miles gets bored of coaching he can break into the movie business as an adult Harry Potter. He'll need wizardy to get NU back in this game, apparently the plan of launching 3s is not working.

 

[Nipsey]

15 minutes to champagne

[Ramblin Wreck]

Has Coach K thrown his Magic Marker yet?

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Sometimes it seems like Duke gets a lot of calls in their favor

LETS GO MERCER CLAP CLAP CLAP

Have you seen the free throws and fouls?

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Yeah, I don't see the refs giving Duke any help here.

 

[Nipsey]

Coach Dennehy looks cool as a cucumber on that sideline.

 

[GOB]

Nice call on the out of bounds

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Duke is going to pull ahead and put this out of reach. I know a lot about college hoops. Trust me.

 

[wazoo11]

ESPN reporting that Calhoun's interested in the BC job.

I would love this hire.

Yeah, I don't see the refs giving Duke any help here.

OK, I just got in and started watching and was reacting to one call. Got out my jump to conclusions mat too soon I guess.

Have you seen the free throws and fouls?

Surprisingly, you don't draw a lot of contact when you take over half your field goal attempts outside the arc.

Crean has that role wrapped up IMO

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Nips:

1. How badly will our Orangemen beat the Daytonas?

2. Will you be watching the game in Encino?

Forgot about the JJ Redick leg kick to draw a foul?

Don't know much about Dayton other than I'd rather face them than Ohio St and Alan Boston doesn't think they should have gotten in the tournament. Don't watch in Encino because Encino and I are something like 1-7 in last 3-4 years when we watch together. Limited contact until end of tournament.

I brought that up with the UVA game and was thoroughly dismissed by you for this stat.

That tends not to work as well on OOC refs, as Duke's record in the tournament during the Redick era demonstrates.

 

[Captain Quinoa]

Wake up New Mexico. Jesus.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

I picked Duke.....

....

Watch the game with Dinklage FTW

The game where Duke shot 14 threes and UVA shot 12? Yeah, that's just like this game.

 

[Captain Quinoa]

I picked Duke.....

....

Everyone did. We still want them to lose.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

I picked Duke.....

....

So did I. Not sure "hate" is a good reason to screw up a bracket.

 

[wazoo11]

This is the Stanford team I expected to show up.

Not sure why everyone was on New Mexico for. Stanford plays the exact same style of offense, but plays more physical than UNM.

 

[Bill Brasky]

Don't worry Duke fans, if you lose this game Yankees season opener right around the corner.

 

[Premier]

Why is Mercer not jamming that 3-point line?

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Wake up New Mexico. Jesus.

That stupid blind bracket thing told me to put them in the final 4.

 

[wazoo11]

Wake up New Mexico. Jesus.

New Mexico has no answer for Chasson Randle.

 

[Dentist]

Certainly Duke is Duke... they are on TV more than Leave it to Beavaaaaaaaaaaaaaah re-runnsss

 

[avoiding injuries]

The color of Baylor's jerseys is keeping me away from TruTV.

Do you have a coronary every time a lower seed upsets somebody?

 

[wazoo11]

Wait until they're matched with Oregon.

Let's do this Mercer...
