The downside of what happened last night is that now, for the next 40 years, every time ISU is getting blown out in a game and I want to turn it off and just do something productive my brain is going to say "But remember that Oklahoma game? What if you miss an amazing comeback?" and I'll waste an hour or two watching the rest of the game. But we'll never come back like that again, be it in football or basketball. Instead I'll just be doomed to increasingly bitter fandom as I watch every single minute of ISU getting blown out time and time again.

Yeah, welcome to me with Kansas football after they put on 35 points against Colorado in the fourth quarter to win by a touchdown. (Actually, I still skip out if it's a blowout, gently caress going through that. And you'll get to that point again once Hoiberg leaves, don't worry. Which sounds like a cruel slam, but what I mean is Hoiberg is special.)

Adun posted:If Duke administrators knew about the allegations and didn't make a good faith effort to investigate then they should fire everyone responsible for that decisions. How do we define "good faith" here, given that no official complaint was ever issued with the university or police? We do know there was some semblance of fact-finding, but that's all we know. If the accuser is unwilling to file any sort of report, then isn't just asking around all you can do short of infringing on the accuser's right to be left alone?

I watch every game expecting a huge comeback only because of the amount of time its happened against my team (rockets, texans, cowboys, baylor, whoever) and ive only seen it happen threeish times in meaningless games (tmac 33 in 13, that cowboys buffalo weird game, and baylor tcu).

Obviously it'll be easier to have an opinion once more information on the investigation is released.

I think Iowa is actually going to win their fifth game in a row. And then their sixth against Northwestern at home on Saturday. After the Minnesota loss I would have put the odds on that at about 1%. edit: meant this for gameday thread, but applies here too.

But when they're on, Nash is one of the best players I've seen in person in a while that doesn't get enough attention. The thing with Lunardi is, he's pretty good at picking the field teamwise. Not so good at figuring out where people are going and what seed they are.

The BS flagrant shifted momentum at that point in the game heavily too. Not sure if the TV broadcast showed something different but no one around me thought it was bad. Kentucky or Georgia fan alike. Kentucky didn't play well to start but fought through at the end to pull it out. I don't think the final score is indicative of how competitive the game was overall. The back and forth between the fan bases was great and from what I saw everyone was respectful to one another. Two really bad missed travels on JJ at the end. He's got to get better at dealing with pressure and moving the ball around the offense. Impressed he didn't become a huge liability on defense given his height. At the same time pretty disappointed Kentucky wasn't able to explicitly take advantage of that match up when it was there. Think fox handled it very well. Why can't UGA and Kentucky be in different conferences and I never have to give a gently caress. In hind sight, the first week of conference play is terribly frustrating for UGA since both games were winnable very late into the game. The two losses from South Carolina are really bad and Auburn too. If UGA handles those games better and wins 3 of the 5 instead of dropping them all, I think the season has a much different tone at this point

On the flagrant, he shoved Harrison with his body before he even got a chance to shoot it. Kinda dipped his shoulder and pushed him out of the way. There was no play on the ball at all, which is why it was called a flagrant. He never put his hands out and it was pretty fast, so I can see how it wouldn't look like much from the stands, but I thought it was pretty clearly the right call watching on TV. If he had just swiped at the ball at all, it probably would have been just a regular foul.

Arkansas has two games left before the conference tourney, @South Carolina and vsLSU. If we win at least one of those we lock up 2nd place and will definitely not see Kentucky again until Sunday if we don't blow it on Friday or Saturday. I'm hoping a good end to the season can secure a 5 seed. I know we can't win it all so there are a couple of good teams I'd like to play in a 4v5 matchup for a spot in the Sweet 16 (assuming we get past, say, Stephen F Austin  ). Overall this year has gone a lot better than I ever would have imagined coming in and could have been even better had we not given away games @Clemson and @Florida. I'm especially happy about winning @SMU given that they've turned out to be a pretty good team. It's been a fun ride. My only sore spot is that our 3 point specialist has gone 50/146 from downtown. What a terrible season he's had. e: Also just saw the replay of the Baylor/Texas thing, lol why did anyone leave the benches? Had to know they would get ejected for it and then they get there and maybe one kid shoves another and then nothing. chaoslord fucked around with this message at 16:33 on Mar 4, 2015 |

Rumor is that Miami's Angel Rodriguez is out for the season with a broken wrist. Leading scorer Sheldon Mcclellan out tonight vs. Pitt with a groin injury. Rodriguez is a great player, sucks to see him out if the rumor is true. I was hoping Miami would beat Pitt because then they'd lock up the 6/7 seed and we wouldn't have to play them first. eta: confirmed? Says Angel is out tonight but doesn't say his wrist is broken. Current ACC Tournament bracket looks like this:  This is the ideal bracket for Virginia: miss Miami and NCSU, then get Louisville minus one of their best players or UNC on their third game in a row. Justin Anderson may be back for our season finale at Louisville. On paper, this is our 2nd toughest game of the year. But we're playing well, get Anderson back, and Louisville are not deep especially after Jones' dismissal. On the other hand, we already have the #1 seed locked up for the ACCT, so losing this one wouldn't be terrible. I think one more win and we lock up a #1 NCAAT seed, and if our first round ACCT game is against Pitt, Clemson, or a shorthanded Miami, we should get it there if not at Louisville. paperchaseguy fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Mar 4, 2015 |

On the SEC bubble front LSU lost to Tennessee by 15 after letting the Vols shoot 69% in the second half. That could have implications not only for them but for teams like A&M and Arkansas's seeding.
