Rex Hudler Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Speaking of Evansville, they waxed Indiana State today, 76-61 to bring their overall record to 13-13. Yee ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redandwhite Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 That was a huge win for Boston College. Dudley and Rice are proving that they can compete with anybody. Tyrelle Blair showed flashes of brilliance defensively, and it was obviously a nice story for the hometown kid who had given 50+ tickets to family and friends to hit the game winner.

Rex Hudler Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Is it too much for me to expect IU to win both @ Purdue and @ Michigan this week? Is a split a more realistic expectation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 So, I don't know if anyone noticed, but Durant was held in check by a 6-4 senior walkon guard from ISU who only played the second 10+ minute game of his life against Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchtower41 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 So just got back home this morning from my first Rupp Arena live game experience (was there for midnight madness once before) this weekend. Unbelieveable atmosphere, and coming from a former Jayhawk, the energy even exceeded some of my expectations for such a large arena. Big Blue fans come correct and Rupp is really a fantastic venue to watch a college hoops game. I won't say it beats Allen Fieldhouse, I'd have a tough time comapring the 2... very different venues as far overall size, proximity, ect. Rupp is actually connected to a mall and a couple hotels. The game was a good game, despite the outcome... Kentucky would have problems beating anyone going 3-22 from behind the arc, let alone Florida. Kentucky is a team that is gonna live and die by the long ball though, and will be very dangerous oppenent when they fall. Randolph Morris has finally turned into the player he is capable of down on the block, and will keep them close in games no matter how poor the outside shooting is like Saturday night. As tough as the Gators are though, Kentucky could have easily beat them had a few more free throws fell down, 1 more 3 pointer. Could have/ should have, but point being, I don't see these Gators repeating.... a good shutdown/trap D like Kentucky can get them completely out of rythm an offense and force them to pretty much play streetball to get by. Noah with 6 points and fouling out is hardly an inspired effort for such a big game for them....but the rest of their frontcourt bailed them out. Looking forward to be heading back there in a month and go with my friend to the 1st and 2nd round of the tournament. I'd imagine because Columbus is close, there is good chance of landing Oden for that bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Either Rock is being sarcastic. Or its the fact that OSU has not beat anyone in the top 25 on the road. So far their best win would be, Indiana at home. Not really a resume a top 5 team would generally have. Most of their ranking comes from the hype surrounding their freshman. Im not saying OSU is not a great team, just that at this point (prior to them beating Wisconsin @ OSU) its hard to understand how they are ranked above UNC and Wisconsin who both beat them, albeit on the road but what else can you compare? Also the higher ranked you are the harder the teams play against you. Works out well for Wisconsin because we play PSU and Minnesota, so hopefully they are all excited about taking down 2 ranked OSU, and not 3 ranked Wisconsin.

redandwhite Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Whether they deserve the number two ranking or not is irrelevant. I'd be damn happy to have either Boston College or Indiana given the respect they deserve, afterall, it can only help where they're placed for the tournament.
