Scott Drew is the only person in the building that doesn't understand Baylor needs to ditch the zone for this game.

The UMass final four was vacated because Marcus Camby was paid. Memphis' final four was vacated because of Derrick Rose's faulty SAT score.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 08:41 PM) BTW is it just me or has this tournament really sucked outside of the first day? Obviously there have been some great games (MSU/Maryland, Xavier/KSU, etc.) but for the most part outside of the first day there has been blowouts and terrible basketball being played. There has been some hideous basketball played this year, but I do have to say that I'm enjoying the fact that a typical superpower is most likely not going to win it all this year.

QUOTE (Willy52 @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 08:44 PM) Typical hater. When we beat Baylor tomorrow you'll be eating alot of crow. Quit being jealous that your s*** UNC team isn't playing with the big boys this year. Sorry, had no idea that you were on the roster. Wojo is that you?

Looks like Calipari still has no final 4's.

Gotta love it. Up next is Duke going down to Baylor.

Haha, these refs are unbelievable.

Who stole Devin Ebanks talent? He looked fantastic his freshman season.

WVU getting hosed at every opportunity so far.

Baylor-Duke should be a lot of fun to watch. Zoubek-Lomers is going to be a nice matchup of two gigantic dudes.

Ha, solid moving screen followed by Sunglare pushing off on the And 1. Nice job officials.

I can't stand the Big 10's muck it up style, but damn Purdue plays defense hard and without the reaching, flopping that Duke gets away with.

I can't figure out how Scheyer doesn't tear an ACL on all these flops. His favorite move is to stick his foot out and bring a defender into him on the jumpshot and fall down like he was shot. It's disgusting. JJ Redick loved the Duke flop, but Scheyer has taken it to a new level.

Johnson with 2 fouls already in 7 minutes, told ya.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 26, 2010 -> 08:12 PM) Turner walks off without shaking hands. I'm surprised he's not Lebron's favorite player.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 25, 2010 -> 10:43 PM) Turn on Kansas St/Xavier, as the teams are playing great and Gus is going bonkers. I've got the KSU/Xavier game on my TV, and the Kentucky/Cornell game on CBSsports.com. Much better basketball on my TV.

This is some awful, awful basketball.

I don't think anyone can honestly deny Danks defensive prowess. The problem is determining whether he's a 4th OF or if he can hit enough to start in CF. I'm in the 4th OF boat, but hopefully he can prove me wrong this year in AA.

Don't know if this was posted, but a nice piece on George Karl and his battle. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=4997277

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 23, 2010 -> 08:02 AM) That's kind of my point. I personally think that he'd probably just cost you Morel, or maybe not even Morel. Maybe Retherford and Leesman. In any case, I believe he could be had for not a lot. I would give up Danks II over Morel any day of the week. Then again I don't see the big value in Danks as it is. Low power, high strike outs, will be 24 in August.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 22, 2010 -> 10:06 PM) None of this came out until after the 2007-2008 season, so there is really nothing that could have/can be done to Rose. NCAA says they sent Derrick a report in Mid-March when he was still playing, and he ignored it. The letter basically stated that if the letter was ignored he could lose all eligibility. Calipari could have at least had someone read it to him.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 22, 2010 -> 03:33 PM) Will Memphis lose any scholarships or anything like that? Not sure. Here is a great article about Calipari. http://www.cbssports.com/columns/story/130...llegebasketball

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=5018281 Memphis officially loses 2007-2008 season. Yet Calipari slimed away with nothing.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 22, 2010 -> 02:03 PM) Not to mention, Duke & Gonzaga played on a neutral court back in December, and the result was a 76-41 beat down Doesn't mean a whole lot back in December. Duke lost to the same Wisconsin team that Gonzaga beat by 13. Hell, Saint Mary's, a team that Gonzaga whipped 2/3 this year should have been a 8-9 seed over both Louisville and California. Either way, it doesn't matter anymore. I don't think Duke will get past Baylor anyways.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 21, 2010 -> 07:17 PM) Cal is not terrible, but people don't realize how sensational Duke is on defense. Cal is pretty bad. Outside of losing to UCLA, USC, Arizona, and Oregon State, their best win on the season came against Washington at home. They had no other wins against a tourney team until they defeated Louisville. Zoubek was 5 inches taller than anyone Cal put on the floor until they hilariously put Max Zhang into the game for 7 minutes. Nolan Smith is a very good all-around player and defender, but Duke hasn't even been challenged by the committee yet. Duke against Gonzaga or Northern Iowa would have been great to see. Now Duke gets JaJuan Johnson against their entire frontcourt. Awesome. Poor JaJuan will have 3 fouls before coach K even wrinkles his face at the refs for the first time.
