College Basketball Random Chatter 2012-2013 Season

• Midstate01

  

  That's the worst 5 second call I've ever seen. He was 7 feet away from him
• GOONx19

  

  Damn this team is frustrating.

Was an Honorable Mention AA back in 99 and also A-10 POY. Played for Mike Jarvis and Tom Penders. Probably best known for being 5 foot 4(I followed him a lot at the time because I too was short and was playing HS bball).
  
  Anyways...He has a son playing for Delaware (playing against Duke today). Nothing in my life has made me feel older than hearing about this last week when Delaware was playing Pitt in the NIT. :thumbdown: LOL.

  I think this is perhaps more an indication of condomless teenagers not having a firm understanding of where babies come from than it is of your age. If Shawnta received All-America honors in 1999, then how old was he when he had his kid, 14? Lol. I guess Rogers could have been an older player while at GW. I don't really know.

  I remember Rogers. Exciting midget.

  If we were to assume his son is 18 (team roster on school site says freshman but does not give an DOB), then Shawnta Rogers was 18(he will be 37 in January) when the son was born.

  While my math is obviously suspect, 18 is still far too young to be bearing children. That is an entirely different discussion, however, and it looks like the kid turned out all right being that he has gotten himself a scholarship to college, so that's a positive story.

  Owensboro, KY native Tyler Brown with 25 to lead Illinois State at the Yum Center.
  
  Tight game, UL up 1 with 18 seconds left.
• Azubuike24

  

  He missed a three at the buzzer. Cards beat the "Cards" 69-66.
• reclegend22

  

  Ron "Fang" Mitchell, who led 15th seeded Coppin State to a victory over No. 2 seed South Carolina in the 1997 NCAAs, once again has upset on his mind, this time in Bloomington against the No. 1 team in the country. And just as a type this, a single-digit game with less than minute to play in the first half balloons to over 15. Lol.
  
  Coppin State had a lead midway though the first half, but Indiana has regrouped. Surprised by this result so far, though. IU has looked so very good of late.

  So he's definitely not coming back to Saint Louis then? Shit. Will miss the guy as a personality. He was great for the game.
  
  In other news, Indiana absolutely putting it to Coppin State in the second stanza. They've woken up. Up 30.

  In pathetic MAC news, Northern Illinois put up a whopping 5 points in the first half against Dayton. 7.7% from the field. Couple that with a home loss to YSU by BG, it's been a good day, lol
• wildcats20

  

  Sad sad news for the big guys family.
• Ironman92

  

  RIP Rick....very good coach

  Every MAC team except Western lost today
• Laley23

  

  I worked the BGSU game today. They suck. Their womens team, however, who I also covered, is pretty solid.
  
  But wow, YSU shoudlve beaten BGSU by like 25.

  No way Orr isn't fired after the season

  Met Orr at Wal-Mart the summer that he arrived in BG. I saw him from three aisles away, his head was that tall. I approached him and introduced myself and told him how exciting his teams were at Seton Hall -- he guided the Pirates to multiple NCAA appearances in the early 2000s -- and how much BG was looking forward to watching his teams play. He thanked me and then I never watched his team play one time. Lol.
  
  See ya, Lou. Great guy, though. He was always pleasant in passing through Anderson Arena halls.
• reclegend22

  

  UCLA about to go down again. The Bruins trail San Diego State, 70 to 64, with under two to play. With a loss, preseason No. 3 UCLA will fall to 5-3, with a loss to Cal Poly and an overtime victory over Cal Irvine. They are a horrible basketball team and Ben Howland is a horrible coach.
• Laley23

  

  Orr is such a nice guy, but he has to go. They are just terrible. I wonder if his kid will transfer??? To be honest, Chauncey probably isnt much better than BGSU anyway though...
• Azubuike24

  

  Is anyone more overrated than Kyle Anderson? He was a consensus top 5 player and some thought he was #2 overall...
• reclegend22

  

  So, we've talked about this before, but now that Ben Howland is for sure getting fired at the end of the year, who's UCLA gonna target and ultimately get?
  
  Rick Majerus can be ruled out. I say that Mark Gottfried, a former Bruin assistant coach, will be one of the targets after UCLA's delusional targets of Billy Donovan, Thad Matta, Bill Self and Tom Izzo are not returning calls. Other realistic targets could be Mark Few, Brad Stevens (not likely) and John Beilein (perhaps?).
• reclegend22

  

  Oh, and I am sure Laley would get a kick out of this, but I saw on UCLA's scout board earlier that they were throwing around Tom Crean's name. Haha. I've never understood any of the schools in the Super Six thinking that a coach would leave one for the other. (The Roy Williams scenario was just a special case, as that's where he began his career under Dean Smith and had the emotional connection, etc.)

  Dave Rice. Steve Alford.
