Number 10 on Maryland is a dirty piece of poo poo. They should kick him out of this game.

Would be cool if we beat Maryland tonight but I'm expecting a letdown after the Purdue game.

It might come against Iowa, but Willard sucks and can't coach.

YES! Lots of time for OSU though.


Purdue pulls it out, I missed the 1st and a good chunk of the 2nd, but it looks like they had their first good shooting game since the tournament in Portland.

WTF has happened to Illinois? They beat UCLA and Texas, but then have some absolutely ugly losses.

its so frustrating to think that maybe the team has turned a corner and can get over that horrible loss to loyola and finally put together some ok seasons and nope, just falling back apart like a speed run of bruce weber or last year's bulls

Edey isn't going to the NBA after this year right?

I'm terrible at evaluating NBA stuff but he's a lumbering junior without that much basketball experience before coming to Purdue so I have to imagine he's not a big prospect despite his season so far. No idea though, it always baffles me.

He's not fast enough to guard NBA 5s, and he hasn't shown that he has a shot from more than 8 feet or so out, so probably not, at least not after this season

unfortunately the NBA game has made it very difficult for absolutely enormous guys to be able to hold up defensively unless they're absolutely insane athletes or can shoot 40% from three, fortunately a giant guy who kills people in the post can still make a very good living in virtually every other pro league.

Is it an over and back violation if the ball and a guy's arm cross the halfcourt line but he never sets foot in the backcourt? Mizzou got called for it and I've never seen it without the guy physically stepping over the line

Bad, very bad!
I don't know if the run of luck will last or if they'll be any good in the end (rebounding gonna be a problem forever, oof), but it is extremely refreshing to watch a Mizzou team that doesn't just dribble and do handoffs at the three point line until there are 10 seconds on the shot clock before even really beginning to attempt to run the offense.

Division III team postpones two games after 5 players hurt in workout

quote:

RIVER FOREST, Ill. -- A suburban Chicago college postponed two men's basketball games after a rigorous workout sent five players to a hospital.

Concordia University Chicago in River Forest also temporarily removed coach Steve Kollar, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Athletic director Pete Gnan sent a letter to parents Thursday, explaining what happened after a late December trip to California, where the team played two games. He said the team was put through a "particularly high-intensity, collegiate-level circuit training" on Dec. 31.

"It has been alleged by some that the intensity and difficulty of Saturday's practice was a direct consequence" of players breaking curfew while in California, Gnan said.

Also, the UConn women have had to postpone their next games because with injuries and illness, they are down to 6 healthy bodies.

Some folks are just not cut out to coach in a safe manner. Take a look at Dave Bliss for another example.

quote:

In May 2010, Bliss became dean of students, athletic director and head men's basketball coach at Allen Academy, a college preparatory school in Bryan, Texas.[10]

Almost immediately Bliss became embroiled in controversy.

Im very much a who cares, the team will look a lot different in March than they do in November/December/January type of UK fan, but I dont think thats the case for this team.

Roster construction is poor, play is poor, coaching is poor. Just all bad.

Iowa State has not figured out how to inball when pressured. This was a problem last year and they still suck at it. They give up a lot of turnovers when they're heavily defended on the inbound. Went from 9 up to 1 up real fast.

e: Hey maybe stop fouling guys shooting 3s.
