RockRaines Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 QUOTE(AssHatSoxFan @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 10:14 AM) Oden is also playing almost exclusively with his off(left) hand for FTs and shots still as far as I know; but it is easy to see why Durant would be the #1 pick if Oden doesn't leave this year Yeah, but he really hasnt developed the back to the basket moves, and cant really take anyone off of a dribble yet. I think Oden is coming back for sure, they say he loves college and his teammates and Matta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 01:33 AM) Once they started to find the soft spot in the zone they looked awesome offensively. Randle had a really nice game. He FINALLY started to drive to the basket again instead of chucking up outside shots. Basically every time he drove it resulted in a dunk, layup, assist, or foul. That's what he needs to do on a nightly basis. Also, McBride finally put the orange thing in the hoop on a consistent basis. We let Iowa back in the game again at the very end with stupid turnovers, but made enough free throws to hang on. Needed that win for sure, phew. Without Randle you guys would have been toast. Damn, it would have been nice to have that road win. QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 07:35 AM) Offensively, he is far more skilled than Oden IMO. Durant >>> Oden right now at basketball. Of course Oden plays a tougher position and has all the skill sets so he'll be the #1 pick, but a team will be getting an absolute superstar when they draft Durant.

aboz56 Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 "I thought Indiana just played harder, they played smarter, they were quicker to the basketball,'' Painter said. "They just flat kicked us. I was just disappointed in the effort. Just fight somebody. Go after a rebound, be quick to the basketball, do little things. Take a charge. Get used to it, Matt. There's more ass kickings to come. Hopefully Moore, Hummel, Martin and Johnson realize that the Hoosiers will be ready to own you all again next season as well. Now I just can't wait until we play Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Is Singletary even a PG? I know he's talented but he's having a bad year. 38.1% from the field, and don't use the 'he takes a lot of 3s' argument because his percentage is about the same from both. Also, his assist/turnover is less than 2 to 1. Yes he's a PG, unfortunately for him he and JR Reynolds have to be on fire each night for UVA to have a chance. He has to be a scoring first PG, and his assist/turnover numbers suffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad I can finally get pumped for this game. It was gonna feel hollow if we couldn't be Nebraska. It could still be KU-ISU as top two in the North division.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 04:48 AM) Kevin Durant > anyone not named Oden in college basketball If Oden isn't as good as adversited, whoever takes him #1 over Durant in the draft in June will regret it.

Durant could turn out to be the better player, but I seriously doubt Oden is a stiff in the pros. He's already better than a lot of big men in the league...

Their 4 losses are by a combined 20 points at Duke, at Kentucky, at Ohio State and against Butler on a neutral court.
