Sweetness, Illinois can still win...?

Yep we can. We're a solid team, we just have sucked lately but the last 3 games we've been playing very well.

Our seniors (Randle and Pruitt) have to step up for us to win, and lately they hadn't been doing that. We'll be a scary team next year with McCamey, Legion, and Smith in the backcourt. Totally different than this season as we'll be able to light it from the outside. Slide Tisdale and Davis into the front court and we'll be a formidable team next year. We won't go to the Final 4 or anything like that but I belive we can do some things.

Btw, another reason I hate Duke; Greg Paulus and his acting garbage. Twice in the last minute he flopped and faked an injury to try and get technical fouls. He ran into the FSU guy who put his arm up in the air after the whistle, bounced off him, and acted like he got tackled to the ground. Then in the pile up with like 10 seconds left he kicked an FSU player in a scrum then clutched his face acting like he got punched when the FSU guy had an open hand. And Bilas and Patrick were going nuts.

That's why I hate Duke.

That would be awesome. I would go streaking.

Bruce Pearl is my favorite coach in sports, regardless of sport, league, pro or college, he's awesome.

Are they deep enough to endure a tourney run?

MaxV · 01-17-2008, 10:14 PM

Good win for the Hoosiers.

They committed a TON of turnovers but still managed to win on the road against a good Minnesota team.

Kansas is the best team in the nation right now, they have great experience, play the best defense in the nation, and most importantly, they can play either a fast tempo or a slow tempo...they can change gears with the best of them...Kansas: National Champs

If Spencer Tollackson could make a mother ******* free throw wow. 0-7? 0 for ******* 7?

But a very good win for you guys, The Barn is one of the loudest arenas in the country.

Great Game by Tubby and co. tonight. A win would have been nice.

Illinois is bad dude,plain and simple.

Acting is part of the game, sure it gets old when someone takes it too far, but he hardly did that.
UH, Reid swung at him and hit him in the face when he was laying on the ground. Don't know one fakes that? The ref saw the punch and T'd him before he even saw if Paulus was hurt.

No offense man, but that's not why you hate Duke. You hate Duke because they're good. Your hatred of Duke is usually what blinds you from the truth(this is usually the case with most Duke haters I know). 50 people who dislike duke( and basically everyone) on here will tell me it's the other way around, but they just hate Duke too.

I'm not impressed with the Tar Heels depth behind Lawson, and their defense isn't as elite as Kansas' D...Do the Tar Heels have the potential to become a better team as the year progresses? Yes. But as of now, Kansas is playing like the best team

UMASS Amherst is going to make some noise. Mark that down. Come March/April I will define noise.

DChess · 01-17-2008, 11:38 PM

cleveland st beats baylor, repersent c-town

Turtlepower · 01-18-2008, 12:00 AM

ASU with a 2OT win against a Cal team that after regulation was shooting at 50% from beyond the arc. Hopefully we can have the same success we had neutralizing DeVon Hardin against the Lopez twins on Saturday. =D

That makes it 10 in a row for the Sun Devils!!!

He is my favorite College Basketball coach by far...granted the Vols are stacked but, Pearl could win with any team. He's just a fantastic coach.

Uh, what? It's not absurd to say the tar heels are better, but to say they're much better certainly is. They are both undefeated, and to be frank Kansas is a more complete team. They will be cutting down nets in March.
