Illinois is a top 5 team, how is that not getting respect.

Its still a plastic cup. Plus, he has more than just the option of going into the stands or laying there, he walks away end of incident. And if you do go into the stands, you better be damn sure that you at least go after the culprit, Jim Gray is saying that the guy who Artest went after was not the person who threw the cup. So basically Artest assaulted an innocent bystander, but lets keep defending him.

Delaware St. played a lot of zone tonight, especially in the first half.

It was a plastic cup, not a bottle. It may not seem like much but that is a huge difference. A plastic cup is no threat to injure you, a bottle would be. If it was a bottle then Artest may have been justified, for a plastic cup, not so much.

It works for me.

Actually I'm 100% sure I wouldn't go into the stands for someone throwing a beer at me. I'm not that stupid.

Saw it, the Pistons fans were totally classless and out of line during the brawl. However, Ron Artest should never have gone into the stands. It was a f***ing plastic cup, anyone defending Artest is nuts. There are so many things that are wrong with this incident its unbelievable. Ben Wallace should get a lot of the blame to, the foul by Artest was a cheap shot in that type of game where the outcome is decided but he went way overboard.

Syracuse takes down Memphis and they look really strong. Palehose, I know that UNC was without Felton, but what the f***. Santa Clara? Those guys lost to New Mexico by over 30 points last week.

Yeah, that was real cool. :rolly

Did you watch Gordon at UCONN? The only position he played there was SG and he is a natural scorer, he is about as much of a PG as Allen Iverson.

Don't believe the hype, I've watched him play quite a bit and Daniel Horton is not a great point guard. I'm not sure I would even classify him as a good PG at this point in time, his career assist to TO ratio is about 1.1/1 which is awful for a PG. Essentially Horton has been a scorer who gets really hot ocassionally and keeps his team in games but other that really doesn't produce.

When they chose Kobe over Shaq.

I agree and I would have called Ohio earlier, but everyone knew that if Bush won Ohio he won the election, hence if he wins Ohio there is no drama. If there isn't any drama than less people tune in. Plus, I think the networks were a little gun shy on just about every race following the f*** up in 2000.

Finally some good news on the recruiting front for Illinois as we got Charles Jackson a 6-8 about 270 lbs PF from Georgia. From what I've heard and seen from his football video (he was a very highly regarded TE/OL prospect) and a couple clips of him from his AAU basketball team, he had very good hands for a big guy, very good footwork, and decent speed but he is not an explosive leaper by any stretch. Welcome to the Illini family CJ

I think the only reason CNN and some of the other networks kept Ohio as TCTC for so long was to keep people interested for as long as possible.

Neither Bush nor Kerry would institute the draft because they and their party would be commiting political suicide. Unless something major happens the support just isn't there to reinstitute the draft.

I don't see any way Obama is on the ticket for '08. 2012 is much more likely.

:puke

Nothing wrong with that. If it brings the team together more and they feel it gives then an edge then so be it.

Apparently there is a disease that makes people unable to feel pain, I've never heard about this before. LINK I'm an idiot, wrong forum

Yeah, but people are going to have sex so you need to teach safe sex as well.

Purdue won't be but I can see Iowa finishing higher than you guys.

Wow..Michigan ties it at 27

You may have spoken too soon. 27-20 now.
