fathom Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 2, 2010 -> 08:59 PM) I didn't see it, but if the foul was committed on the rebound attempt, it should count. Unless you mean the guy committed a foul on a put-back dunk, then they screwed up. The foul was on the rebound attempt on a different Illini player. Even the announcers were saying it shouldn't count, but it seems they did count it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 (edited) Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the Madhouse on Madison the old Chicago Stadium? I'll never understand why teams that are up 3 with under 10 seconds left ever play anyone inside the 3 point line. Let them take the 2s at that point.

As a matter of a fact we had that exact situation happen in a game I was calling last night. They counted the three and walked down to the other side of the floor to shoot the bonus.

nitetrain8601 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Wow at DeMarcus Cousins throwing an elbow to someone's head when that player was already on the ground and then only getting a personal "Unsportsmanlike conduct" foul. He should've at least been ejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan99 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 (edited) QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 2, 2010 -> 03:22 PM) Horrible last possession by Illinois. Go to the bucket! McCamey refuses to push the ball in those situations. Mind boggling really, and even then he had the lane to the basket and kicked it out to Paul for some reason. But the bottom line is you can't spot a team 20 and expect to come back and win. Hopefully at some point this team realizes that if they play defense for 40 minutes they have a chance to be really good. Because once they turned up the defensive pressure they were the better team by far. Edited January 2, 2010 by whitesoxfan99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Gophers rolled over Iowa today, 86-74. Although that only looks like a 12-point win, it was never in doubt and the Gophers basically had their way with Iowa from start to finish. Hoffarber had another great game, while the press really tore apart the Hawkeyes for most of the first half. It's always awesome to watch an effective full court press, especially when it's done by Al Nolen and Damian Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also announced that there was a 21 point deficit for the Illini about 50 times as well. Me and a buddy listened to the game on the way to Kenosha, and it was annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on Madison and with the Bulls and Hawks having success last season, the crowds were awesome. It's not nearly the same enviornment as Chicago Stadium, but the building serves the same purpose for both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 So after watching way too much college basketball yesterday, Kansas is far and away the best team in the country. Their defense is outstanding, great depth, and Self has them playing great. It's ironic, as their two superstars haven't even improved this season (Aldrich and Collins). Henry is the 2nd best freshman in the country, and the Morris twins impress me. As long as they stay away from football players, this team should easily make the Final Four.

I think Texas has amazing depth 1-10, but I'm not sure they have a scorer they can count on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
