Hey Foster, maybe go hog wild behind the 3 point line a little bit earlier in the game.

Savannah State just won a game over Middle Georgia College.

I mention this partly because I didn't know there was a Middle Georgia College but mostly because Kenpom has inexplicably listed the opponent as "11th Cavalry".

(Oh and obviously if you're struggling with Savannah State you are so hosed)

Goddammit NC State, I thought this team might not be as dumb as it has been. But no, still dumb.

Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.
Following the State game, seems like a good recovery after the awful start.

What happened with the technical on Lacey?

edit: Harvard beat Vermont in 2OT, losing that one would have killed any at-large hope. Will be interesting to see how long they can hang against UVA.

Some kid from Creighton is banging threes right now. Nebraska only has one home loss since their new arena opened but they're definitely at risk here.

The Huskies would be much better if they stop trying to shoot 3s. Or mid-range jumpers. Or attempting any kind of shot outside the paint.

So far this season almost every day has had something to offer, but today is going to be pretty rear end unless Florida fucks up hilariously against Yale.

edit: nope, not happening.

yeah we are up 77 - 31 with like 9 minutes to go lol

Apparently Donovan had the team out on the court really early coming out of the half while he watched them do a bunch of drills. He's scrambling to find ways to get these young dudes to play two good halves of basketball.

Please stop sucking Illinois. Villanova has missed seven shots and rebounded six of them.

Cosby and Starks are dead weight.

Maybe it's just rust, but I'm leaning towards maybe they both just suck. Groce needs to come to terms with it sooner rather than later.

We can't rebound worth a crap either, but playing 3 on 5 is the backbreaker.

I thought Starks would be a chucker who could hit a bucket or two, and Cosby would be good. Cosby has been a disaster.

Tate sucks too, so idunno.

Agreed on Tate, but at least when he screws up I can rationalize it as building towards his inexplicable transformation into a decent player in 2 years when he is a senior.

When Starks does something stupid, it's like, wtf are we playing this guy for?

Jay Bilas alternating between 'Villanova is POUNDING Illinois' and 'Groce is a good coach'/'these are talented players'

Is he right on both? Doesn't seem like it to me but I am naturally pessimistic as heck about IL

Only guy playing worth a drat is Malcolm Hill.

^^^ - I thoight he said Groce is a good coach and some guys on Illinois are talented, but Villanova are the better team.

Although now we're only down 3 so let's keep it up

Weber is gone, let the optimism flow.

But be aware that Egwu can't rebound for poo poo, Cosby seems to suck, and Starks is a PG with two skills: dribbling and chucking it.

Basically, in Rice/Hill/Nunn we trust and please learn how to play defense fast, Mr Black.

Yeah, we locked up a scholarship for two years for one year of a midget combo guard chucker.

I don't really care about "locking up" the scholarship because it didn't stop us from bringing in anybody amazing. It's like when NFL teams overspend on a free agent bust. OK, they blew $15 mil in cap space. Which they would've done gently caress all with even if they had it, so who cares...

I do, however, care about the pain he inflicts on my eyes and psyche when he throws up another brick or passes to the wrong team.

Yeah, I am going to assume Groce didn't draw it up like that.

For as poorly as we are playing, only being down 6 is pretty decent.
