NCAA HOOPS THREAD! -- K petitions to get Maui Jim Maui Invitational moved to Transylvania (4 Viewers)

Only bad thing for WSU is theyre only winning by 6. Based on the last 10 minutes, feels like they should be up double digits.

They came out a little flat & were prob intimidated by all of UK's talent... Now their confidence is up, they roll

Oh Hai!

So my wife is a Gator grad and fan. Being a woman, she doesn't see the whole rivalry thing with fsu, or care. She even wore an fsu shirt to the party we went to for the bcs title.

Now she's giving me a hard time saying I need to root for UF in this tournament (did this last year too). This goes against everything I've ever stood for, but it's hard to root against them when it makes her happy. And I don't personally know any doosh Gator fans.

Do I have to root for them? Does this defy sports code?

If you want laid ever again, you'll do it.

He definitely want laid.

My wife is a duhOSU fan and I root for Penn State (in football). Gloating about a Buckeye loss uts me in the doghouse quicker than anything.

There's a big gap between rubbing it in and actively cheering for a rival. Just not rooting loudly against the Gators should be enough for his wife.

This is where I stand. She hates when I refer to the gators as "you guys" or something similar though.

Ex: "You guys lost to Georgia Southern today"

 

[AAABatteries]

Cappy, you need to explain how this happened. Was this a crying game situation where on your honeymoon she came of of the bathroom doing the gator chomp?

I was being nice and you go and do that

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Oh well

 

[AAABatteries]

UK would pick this game to play well - I don't really dislike UK or like WSU but this team being an 8 seed is absurd.

[Prince Myshkin]

Come on UK...stay engaged and don't go into another one of those lulls!!!

Making selection committee look like fools. Ridiculous seed

Did you think they were going to roll over and die?

Just keep pushing the ball and don't start firing up threes

Yeah, let's see if they sustain it for a whole half. Looking great in spurts doesn't mean they didn't lose to South Carolina or get swept by Arkansas

I doubt many people thought that

Baker getting a blow until the TV timeout.

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Stop with who was seeded where. It has been discussed earlier and everything was done fairly.

 

[gump]

Randle :wow:

well "you guys" are probably going to win this damn tournament. And well deserved to be honest.

I'm talking about them having an 8 seed, not winning the title. They are neck and neck with an undefeated #1 seed and only lost by 1 last week to another #1 seed. An 8 is ridiculous.

 

[Premier]

Cappy, you need to explain how this happened. Was this a crying game situation where on your honeymoon she came of of the bathroom doing the gator chomp?

She even does the tomahawk chop when we go to fsu games that don't involve UF. Good wife.

What the hell are you talking about?

It is over discussed. After round one everyone plays good basketball teams for the duration.

enough of this...how many teams (other than Florida or Wichita State and maybe SF Austin ) didn't have a puzzling loss or 2 or several along the way???

and by the looks of things, that SEC wasn't as weak as everybody made out. they just beat up on each other on the road.

 

[Kenny Powers]

I hate to say Greg Anthony read my mind, but I was just thinking WSU needs to get Early more involved and Early needs to put his foot down and create plays.

I was also just thinking Julius Randle looks older than me. They check that guys birth certificate?!

 

[flapgreen]

Boom!!!

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

UK is just so much faster, stronger, and talented. Good job for WS to be in this game so far. All the "and 1's" is killing WS.

 

[Prince Myshkin]

"a good no call because Early flopped" = should have bee called a block

 

[sporthenry]

"a good no call because Early flopped" = should have bee called a block

A flop =/= a block.

 

[Raider Nation]

What a friggin game.

 

[rockaction]

Calipari needed that timeout. Good TO.

 

[Premier]

Game of the tourney so far. IMO.

 

[Ballstein]

A shocking run

 

[Prince Myshkin]

"a good no call because Early flopped" = should have bee called a block

A flop =/= a block.

actually, yes it does. especially if there is contact as he goes down that interferes with offensive player.

 

[AAABatteries]

Wow - what a game.

That white kid needs to go stronger to the hole. He's had two easy layups blocked that he could have dunked.

 

[rockaction]

What a friggin game.

Looked a lot like the talent in the UConn/Nova round of 32.

 

[flapgreen]

Wow - what a game.

That white kid needs to go stronger to the hole. He's had two easy layups blocked that he could have dunked.

Probably has a 5 inch vert

 

[sporthenry]

"a good no call because Early flopped" = should have bee called a block

How? If you have legal guarding position, how can it be a block? It just means there wasn't enough contact to be a player control foul

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Wow - what a game.

That white kid needs to go stronger to the hole. He's had two easy layups blocked that he could have dunked.

Was thinking the same thing, Dunk that ####! man

 

[Kenny Powers]

Great couple of minutes there.

CLEAN TONY stepping up!!!

White Men Cant Jump

That's racist!

Actually he's got some hops - can easily dunk both those. He may have gotten that 2nd one blocked still but that break away would have gone down.

 

[rockaction]

Oh, jeez. I get what Brady Marino is saying. I thought that was Maroon 5.

 

[Homer J Simpson]

This Early kid is friggin' awesome.

How? If you have legal guarding position, how can it be a block? It just means there wasn't enough contact to be a player control foul

It is actually in the rule book as an unsportsmanlike technical foul for "faking being fouled"

 

[flapgreen]

I hate people who look like Justin Bieber.

 

[AAABatteries]

How'd he miss that! - damn!

 

[Prince Myshkin]

Cauley-Stein is going to have to be more of a presence on the defensive end down the stretch.

i have seen it called once in a high school game i was coaching.
