Heads22 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 19, 2011 -> 05:18 PM) I keep telling you not to get that excited with Chris Allen. He basically was a bust at Michigan State. White's the one with the exciting potential, IMO. It's still a different fit for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Deshaun Thomas is playing like he's on drugs in this OSU/Purdue game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
He_Gawn Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Exactly what I was thinking fathom. He is the reason OSU is down right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was ever a play on the take, it's Thomas in this game. His missed FT couldn't have been more of a brick, and for a guy shooting 83 percent on the year, that was very interesting.

danman31 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Normally I wouldn't be interested because polls are irrelevant in basketball (heck of a concept lol), but all the top four teams lost this week. Who is your new No. 1? Clearly none of the top five or so aren't playing especially well because 4 of them lost this week and Duke is probably just on par with Ohio State, Texas and Kansas.

Soxbadger Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Id still say OSU. Their only losses are @ 2 top 15 teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fouls called in final 10 minutes of first half against Duke. And I don't think there's enough green in the world for my "GT will win tonight". They could have J. Jack, Thad Young, Favors, Bosh, and Morrow on the court and Hewitt would still find a way to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell no, they've absolutely quit. Things have gotten so ridiculous with the program that members of the AD openly talk about who the next coach will be in front of Hewitt at AD meetings. Hewitt is gone around March 11th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 So glad ESPN put Kansas on Big Monday again. Instead of the trying to match the quality of Big East games you get every week, most of the time it's Kansas beating up on some mediocre team in Lawrence. At least show them on the road so there's a chance it's competitive. Yeesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Especially to a coach who has talked about retirement before and has a clause in his extension that he's getting paid a hefty sum no matter what. Not that 3 games would push that decision, but he could walk through this whole thing unscaved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Illini starters vs. OSU tonight: Tisdale, Davis, Richmond, Paul, Head. Yes, that's Crandall Head, not Luther. Now I have to watch the start of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a hard-on for any negative report about Richmond. Did he steal an ex-girlfriend of yours or something? Weber's halftime interview pretty much sums it up. He's lost this team.
