Rex Kickass Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I like Izzo and Crew's chances this year. But I think its the Big Ten that will be the power basketball division this year between MSU, Illinois, Indiana and a strong Michigan.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 NIU beats previously 7-1 Kansas State 75-70 in OT. Got wins over Big 12 and Big East teams at home now.....could be a pretty good year actually. Iowa also wins (in a close one) the 3rd place in Iowa College Hoops game, 65-60 over Drake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AddisonStSox Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Rick Majerus is an absolute ass-wad. Waiting for this evening's Braggin Rights game, I had to sit through this gem... In reference to UConn's Rudy Gay: "I'm not a big Gay guy." He felt he was still too raw of a player and instead of saying he wasn't as high on him as the rest of the nation, or, he feels he needs to refine his game, he came at us with, I'm not a big Gay guy." How Lavin didn't crack up is beyond me. You might not be a big, Gay guy, but you're surely a big, fat guy. If this is Majerus' attempt at physical and mental fitness, I think he needs to "refine his game." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, let's just clear up this confusion I'm having. You're referring to Rick Majerus? Former Utah and almost-former USC coach Rick Majerus? Damn good analyst? He epitomizes ESPN's and other national sporting-news organizations failed attempts to have ex-athletes and ex-coaches analyze sports for a living. What will it take for them to stop force-feeding us the Rick Majerus' and Bill Maas' of the world? It's really sad and makes some of these broadcasts nearly impossible to enjoy. You can have Majerus. You can have Maas. You can have Steve Phillips. Successful basketball coach? Yes. Successful midwesterner(Milwaukee)? Yup. Great guy, great all-around guy? Sure, I've hear similar things. Keep him the f away from a microphone. He might know quite a bit about the game of basketball, but, when you can't articulate yourself out of a paper-bag, you do not deserve to be "enlightening" the American sports drones on national broadcasts.

greasywheels121 Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 I love Lavin, Majerus, Musberger, and Digger Phelps' tielighters (not the person, just the tielighters). Everyone else is to the ACC what Peter Gammons is to the Red Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Lavin are great. They almost always do Hawkeyes games and both of them do a great job diagnosing the X's and O's and point out things 99% of analysts wouldn't have a clue about. Now Majerus isn't the best with words, but he has something almost all analysts don't have and thats basketball intelligence. I'll take him and Lavin doing a game over Dickie V. any day of the week. Of course I think Lavin is the best in the biz when it comes to college basketball announcing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Not suprisingly USC smacked UNC. The funniest part was when the moronic fans rushed the floor. They beat a bunch of freshmen at home, YIPEE. Stats of note. 24 TOs for UNC UNC 52% on free throws USC shot 57% from 3 That's all you need to know.

danman31 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I only watched the 2nd half of the UNC game, but Bobby Frasor put it one of the worst displays of basketball I have ever seen from an individual in a while. That was pathetic. I didn't see him make one field goal and he had many turnovers on bad passes and poor dribbling decisions. Not to mention my personal favorite when the Heels are down 9 looking for a 3 in all likelihood and he drives from well behind the 3 point line only to have a USC big waiting for him. He got swatted as soon as he went for the layup. Now that I have that out of the way I was surprised that USC was able to put a decent game together. I saw them earlier in the year when Oral Roberts of all people destroyed them in the Great Alaska Shootout. That loss had USC at 0-2 and I was thinking they were going to be a brutal team. They haven't loss since, though UNC is the only team of their 8 wins that is even respectable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
