Indiana State? Really? Haha love it. Any ISU fan who thinks they can get anywhere past the 1st round of the "bigboy" tourneys is crazy.

Palehosefan Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 QUOTE (gbuk @ Jan 10, 2009 -> 07:02 PM) Good lord this post is terrible. We can talk about Roy being an overrated coach though. LOL, overrated. That's fantastic. Yes, a coach that was given the keys to Kansas on probation and took them to 418-101 record and the NCAA tournament every single year except his first probation year, is overrated. That's hilarious. A guy that averaged 28 wins and 7 losses coming into this season, including the 19-12 probation given year, is overrated. A guy that is 574-135 in his career in the Big 12 and ACC, is overrated. Is he the best coach in college basketball history? Nope. But he's right up there in the argument. He recruits good people and good basketball players and wins a lot of games. Not always the title, which is frustrating. But Dean Smith was the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Jan 4, 2009 -> 04:55 PM) Roy's "Charmin soft" recruiting strategy is frustrating. He ends up with a lot of good people and good basketball players, but none ever tough enough. The only tough player I remember him recruiting is Paul Pierce. Roy won't seem to recruit Paul Pierce, Rashad McCants types anymore. Hinrich was a pretty scrappy player, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Haven't seen any posts from the Illinois St lovers recently... On a different note, Tennessee isn't as good as people were making them out to be. We're really young and obviously going to have off games against teams that aren't nearly as good. We haven't lost an SEC home game in 2 years, but I expect that to change this year. Oh well, as long as Scotty Hopson keeps playing like he has, he won't be leaving early, which means we'll be getting everyone back next year except Tyler Smith. That should be the year the Vols make some noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo's Drinker Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 damn and I was hoping that the Tenn win would be a good win come March. Ill St. fans, I laugh in their direction.

Ill St fans did run their mouth a lot, a little too much for a team that has the 246th toughest schedule in CBB. I cant stand mid majors for the most part so seeing that they lost to a 3-12 team is very funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to rip on the SIU fans until I saw them put a legit run in the NCAA tourney. The worst part is Illinois has an awesome team this year, and they thought they were better than them as well.

Oh, it will be. Tennessee will still win the SEC and get highly seeded, but that's more because the SEC is really weak this year. I mean, obviously UT is pretty talented having beat Georgetown and Marquette this year, but they will be inconsistent, which is why they won't make too much noise in the tourney. Probably Sweet 16 and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuiceCruz16 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Wake was the better team last night, no doubt. As poorly as the Heels shot they only go down by three on the road, though. When the Heels don't get many transition points like yesterday and the BC game they are very beatable. They predicate there dee on turning you over and Rice and Teague protected the ball very well. A bit surpriseing for Teague who is aggressive, but tends to turn it over a bit much. He not only protected the rock, but he abused Lawson getting to the paint at will. 0-2 in the ACC now for my vaunted Heels, but I'm still not terribly concerned.

maggsmaggs Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Really funny story about Missouri basketball player Miguel Paul. He is a distant cousin of Chris and claims to have met Chris before, but Chris doesn't ever remember such a meeting. http://deadspin.com/5130695/chris-pauls-co...his-family-tree Funny thing was I copy edited this story in the Missourian.
