Lot of living by the 3 tonight.

 

[Abraham]

Two home games for UConn.

Pretty nice. One thing is, though, the only guys showing up tonight are Boatright and Napier. Everyone else looks massively scared to handle the ball and shoot, and Hoiberg is going to figure that out right quick.

We need Daniels and Giffey not to send up threes that are terribly off. Like hitting the backboard wide off.

Anyone know how much they cheated this year? Like, compared to the Calhoun years?

Texas.

Who is your team?

Tennessee. We haven't cheated at basketball in a couple years.

I remember the 2000 tourney game when El-Amin's sprained ankle did us in against you guys. Too easy.

eta* Also have some friends with serious connections to CT college basketball, and it was said that the cheating wasn't just scholarships, but was really, really bad.

I don't mind uconn at all. Was just making the obvious joke. It's all good.

Didn't take it negatively at all.

Just in case anybody hasn't seen this.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Whoa, fat Johnny Sac

 

[tri-man 47]

Nice first half for my Wolverines! Tennessee could bring their big back in, and I'm sure they will, but that could make it even harder to stop Michigan's movement on offense. Robinson is so much better when he goes to the hoop instead of the pull-up jumper. He's been missing those all tournament. Craziest play - Staukas passing it to himself off the backboard and passing it to the perimeter for a Michigan basket. All the young Canadian boys will be trying that one this weekend.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Flipping around while both ###### games in commercial and stumbled on Celebrity Wife Swap with Kate Gosselin and Kendra Wilkinson. Kate Gosselin actually looked better, I thought.

I don't know how Hank Baskett and Kendra can afford such a nice place. They have to go bankrupt in a couple years.

Oh, that Playboy reality show had to make some coin. Plus appearances. Weird stuff at sex clubs for appearances and money. I remember laughing around with someone at a strip club and Fergie wanted $20,000 in SPFLD, MA just to show up.

And not do anything. Just show up.

After a show down the street...

 

[sporthenry]

Tennessee looks like they don't want to be here or that this is some sort of preseason game.

 

[Premier]

Never heard a more silent arena than this Indy game.

Everything the ncaa does sucks.

 

[mquinnjr]

That Dikembe Geico commercial gets me every time, hadn't seen it in awhile.

Uconn sloppy. Gets within ten, who knows?

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Uconn sloppy. Gets within ten, who knows?

Long boards for ISU are trouble. No reason to rush or take a quick three if it's not open.

 

[culdeus]

Why do they let two teams with similar color schemes wear solids?

Uconn sloppy. Gets within ten, who knows?

ISU settled for too many difficult shots too. Can't get to the rim fairly often but not attacking.

This tournament really brings out the stank in teams after a while.

Connecticut defends the middle pretty well for being fairly small, but yah, ISU not having a great game overall. This might be UConn's best game all year, tbh.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Napier getting the call every time with the head-back motion.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Missing a forward that averages 16/gm might be a factor as well.

Oh yeah, with Niang on a true neutral this could be a different game.

Still not close to being over tho.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

I hope that isn't what Martin drew up.

 

[Nipsey]

Mich ball. let's go.

 

[Nipsey]

oh bull####. why bother going to the monitor?

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Lot of contact on that bucket.

 

[tjnc09]

Is out of UM out timeouts?? So bad

 

[heckmanm]

Local CBS affilliate just went black-screen for about 10 solid minutes. Just came back to see UT pull within 1. Holy crap!

 

[rockaction]

Can't figure out where Brimah is.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Is out of UM out timeouts?? So bad

looks like they have 2

 

[Nipsey]

FU Michigan

 

[heckmanm]

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

epic

 

[shuke]

wow

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Wow

 

[tjnc09]

lol horrible

 

[Nipsey]

You have two time outs! Use one!

 

[John Bender]

Lol

 

[tjnc09]

Maybe they all have that Chris Webber commercial fresh in their minds and are afraid to

 

[Nipsey]

Now he calls time out

 

[culdeus]

oops

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

ISU coming back too.

 

[Pipes]

You have two time outs! Use one!

Nope better just to throw the ball away and use timeouts to set up your defense. Terrible job by Michigan here.

 

[sporthenry]

Maybe CBS puts an hour between games next year.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Offensive foul?

 

[culdeus]

this #### is bannanas

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Nice flop by Michigan

 

[sporthenry]

Oof.

 

[Nipsey]

Draw up a friggen play to get the ball in bounds!

 

[tjnc09]

Why do they have their shortest player taking it out?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I can't believe they called that, borderline with 10 minutes left. With 10 seconds left?

 

[Pipes]

Nice flop by Michigan

It was a clean steal regardless.
