College Basketball Random Chatter 2013-2014 Season

• Midstate01

  

  Why they didn't use their final timeout is beyond me.
• reclegend22

  

  As the announcers said, BYU's coach was definitely signaling for a timeout, but #5 was apparently hellbent on being a hero.
• reclegend22

  

  Looks like Georgetown is having trouble containing national power Northeastern. Game tied at 44 with about seven minutes to play at The Paradise Jam. That then raises the question of just how deep does nepotism run in Landover and why is John Thompson III still employed. I don't have official numbers in front of me, but he has to have more upset defeats than any other big-time coach in the country.

  Northeastern is actually decent.
• Terry_Tate

  

  Looks like Georgetown is already in NCAA tournament form.
• Laley23

  

  Northeastern +15.5 was the easier money I have ever made.
  
  Of course, I thought UMASS -3.5 vs. Nebraska was as much of a lock, and while I won, it was a nail biter lol.

  Lol I took NW as well. I agree that was probably the easiest CBB bet this year.

  I've got a lot going today.
  
  im about to go post in the betting thread

  I was able to watch some of the game and there is no doubt who the better team was. Georgetown is not that great.
  
  Doesn't mean JTIII should get a pass, though. With 2006-07 as an obvious outlier, Georgetown has been nothing but mediocre when it counts during Thompson's tenure. Which is still better than the shape the program was in under Craig Esherick. So maybe they're content with being in contention for Top 25 polls each year..

  Lots of good games tonight with the 2K sports classic. Excited.
  
  I've watched Washington play every game this year and they are not anywhere close to an NCAA Tournament team. But Chris Wilcox is fun to watch. Hoping for a good game, but if Indiana has brushed its early-season dust off, I look for the Hoosiers to win easily.

  FSU putting a whoopin on VCU in the first half.

  So you lost?

  Lol just realized I put a W instead of an E. And no I didn't lose.
  
  But fucking VCU needs to step their shit up.
• Laley23

  

  A little throw-back to the last time Indiana played at The Garden...
  
  
  
  Yes, Bob Knight made the team walk to the arena from the hotel...carrying their own uniforms...lol

  Oh my, I LOVE this pic!! Thanks for sharing Laley! The good ole days!!

  For those who don't know, from left to right.
  
  Jim Crews, Wayne Radford, Tom Abernathy, Knight, Bob Wilkerson, Scott May, Kent Benson and Quinn Buckner
• reclegend22

  

  Bobby Knight is so awesome. Still the greatest of all-time IMO. It's hard for even me to put K ahead of him considering he was basically K's basketball teacher.
• Azubuike24

  

  UMass blew out New Mexico. They are now 5-0. Impressive team.
• reclegend22

  

  I think the Lobos were just running on empty after the 2OT game the night before. Their lack of depth really hurt them today. But UMass was indeed impressive. Without question their best team since the Calipari days. Chaz Williams makes that offense incredibly fun to watch.
• se-alum

  

  Maybe I missed something, but what's up with McGary coming off the bench? I know he's coming off an injury, but he played 33 minutes.
• reclegend22

  

  I watched most of the Michigan game and didn't hear anything during the broadcast. Maybe they were just ushering him back into things slowly at the start. Not sure.
  
  Indiana-UConn has been sort of lower scoring than I expected, but has the makings of a down-to-the-wire finish. The Hoosiers starting to wake of offensively.
• Mulva

  

  What the fuck was Napier doing there? So dumb.
• reclegend22

  

  Not a bright 10 seconds for Napier. First the 30-footer and then the offensive foul.
  
  But what an all-out battle tonight between Napier and Yogi Ferrell. This was a great second half of action.
• birddog23

  Napier won the game for uconn. But damn it seems like he's been there forever
• reclegend22

  

  Napier finishes with 27 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists on 10-of-14 shooting. Almost spooky how much he resembles Kemba Walker, if not in pure stats in just the ability to lead his team almost single-handedly to victory down the stretch of a game. Although, this Connecticut team has some other pretty good weapons. Kevin Ollie has a team that could make a very long run come spring.
