Hopefully, that's the road jolt this team needs. If we lay an egg tomorrow, Thursday's win means nothing.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) Pretty good games for 3 consensus All-Americans today. Hasheem Thabeet: 25 points, 20 rebounds, 9 blocks Blake Griffin: 40 points, 23 rebounds Jodie Meeks: 45 points, 7/12 from 3, 7 rebounds, 3 steals Edited February 14, 2009 by Jordan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxbrian Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Blake Griffin is ridiculous. I hope Stern fixes the lottery in our favor 1 more time and we get him. I'd take Meeks, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) And the Badger's resurrection continues. Nice win for them over OSU (even better that it helps Illinois). And I'm glad that this year's draft is so weak that B.J. Mullens is a virtual lock to go in the top 15 (maybe top 10). He's nowhere near NBA ready. Evan Turner's draft stock is going up as well. I'll be a happy camper if after this year we won't have to worry about him anymore. He's damn good.

Jimbo's Drinker Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Great win by the Jayhawks today. Down 16 in the first half, they come back in a crazy road atmosphere and beat a red hot KSU team. Marcus Morris had his breakout game.

They should have beat OSu at home, the Buckeyes have zero players with experience in Madison. Wisco is not a very good team however and if they get into the tourney, they better hope all of the games are played in Madison. Mullens will be a bust if he goes into the NBA next year, I think he's beginning to see that. And if him and Turner leave, you still have to deal with Buford. And I didnt get to post this before since the site was down. NW players and fans should have been ashamed of their performance against ILL. The Illini Fans brought the team back into the game and the team delivered the knockout blow. All the NW players did was make dumb decisions, timeouts, passes, and the fans just sat on their hands. Kudos to the Illini fans for that win. Edited February 15, 2009 by RockRaines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Another thing about Thursday night..ESPN should be ashamed of allowing Digger Phelps to announce an ND game and Bardo an Illinois game. Both of them were extremely obnoxious homers during the game. Phelps was making it a 2 hour debate about how ND should make the tournament.

Soxbadger Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) Wisco is not a very good team however and if they get into the tourney, they better hope all of the games are played in Madison. Well OSU isnt a very good team because they couldnt beat Wisconsin on a day when Wisconsin shot under 36%. If your best shooter goes 1-8 from 3, you shouldnt win. If your team shoots 4-18 from 3, you shouldnt win. If your team shoots 55.3% you should win. So once again if Wisconsin isnt a very good team, OSU is a horrible team. Because if Wisconsin even comes close to its averages 36% from 3, yesterdays game is a blow out. OSU turned the ball over 19 times and were out rebounded by 10. OSU should be thankful that Bohannon's last 5 games he went 15/21 from 3, so he was due to miss a few last night. A win is a win, some times you dont have your best stuff, but you fight and scrap to win. (Edit) And Turner is awesome, can only imagine how he would of looked as a 2 guard for Wisconsin.

Wisco is not a very good team however and if they get into the tourney, they better hope all of the games are played in Madison. I wasn't just talking about last night. They've won 4 in a row after it looked like there season was lost. I don't think they're very talented at all. But they do play some pretty physical/nasty defense. Mullens will be a bust if he goes into the NBA next year, I think he's beginning to see that. And if him and Turner leave, you still have to deal with Buford. I'd rather deal with Buford than have to deal with Mullens/Turner/Buford. And I didnt get to post this before since the site was down.

They had no answer for our press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Good win today even if it was against a horrible team. Winning on the road in this conference, especially for this team, is always a challenge. Tough final 5 games coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmteam Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 The IU-Illinois game was fun. Couple of notes: How hard is it to box out? Come on guys. I can't count the amount of times Davis or Tisdale flew in for the put back. I like Davis as a player; I haven't watched Illinois too much, but he seems like a pretty athletic (if slightly undersized) big, who can move around the rim. Calvin Brock's putback dunk was nasty. Too bad he ruined it with the technical. Daniel Moore played all out; I was really impressed. There was a great scene where in the middle of the 2nd half run, Moore and Crean embraced in the huddle. Whoever the fan was that yelled out "Weber eat s*** and die" is stupid. I don't really mind the Weber Sucks and Sit Down Weber chants, those come with the territory I feel, but that one was over the line. And why were people still doing Eric Gordon chants? I refused to join in. It hurt not having Dumes, you could tell. However, the Hoosiers are definitely looking better than they did earlier in the year.

It was also hard to see what was going on with him and Pritchard near the end of the game in that loose ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rewound it, and he was celebrating the jam when he bumped the other guy. I admit that I'm biased, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
