NCAA Mens Basketball 2008-2009 Season + Tourny

The last few minutes of Wisconsin - Virginia Tech has been awesome so far. Virginia Tech is unconscious from 3 and Wisconsin has lost their lead...

Edit: what an ending!

[Ryany]

ESPN will probably spin it as Wisconsin blowing a lead and hanging on when it was more so Va Tech not missing from 3.

Glad to see my boys (UCONN) doing well this year. They are usually hit or miss year after year, whereas the women's team got boring since Taurasi made it a constant rapefest.


[edit] I miss those days at college though, living in fear of getting your car flipped or a burning couch thrown onto it. ahhh those were the days...

Jack McClinton ejected for bitch slapping a buckeye.

Kyle Singler and Robbie Hummel are twins separated at birth.

This game (Duke/Purdue) is certainly a dissapointment... hopefully the UNC/MSU game is going to be better.

[BarthelloSylph]

Whoops, didn't see this thread when starting my UNC bball shit talking thread. None of these teams can take the Heels.

MSU is pretty good this year. They play pretty good D but UNC is out of control this season. So far at least. Putting up 102 on ND and with the way Lawson is playing...

Duke > UNC

[Tyche]

Even if Duke is better than UNC (which they aren't even anywhere close to UNCs talent level), it won't matter...they'll be lucky to get out of the 2nd round as a 1 seed.

Amen. They're flaky as hell now. The old Duke days are over. Paulus and Scheyer are iffy guards in my opinion.

Paulus maybe, Scheyer is solid. Paulus isn't even starting anymore, Nolan Smith is the new starting PG.

Danny Green has proven you dont have to start to be a solid player, so that point is moot. Nolan smith is a good guard and schyer is decent, but neither of them can stay with lawson, he'll run the floor on them all night, he's improved on his perimeter shooting and he is the best pure PG in the nation.

[Tyche]

Not even the best in the ACC. I'll take Tyrese Rice over Lawson any day of the week. It's a damn shame he's on a team you've probably not seen play and doesn't have a good supporting cast.

I've seen Rice play for the last 3 years, he's a scorer but not a pure PG. So saying I havent seen him play is moot especialy when he's in the same confrence as the tarheels.., Ive been to 1/2 the heels games in the past 2-3 years that have been at home and Ive seen him play in person, he's a good guard, but not better than lawson by far.

[Tyche]

He's a scorer because he doesn't have a "psycho t" (how stupid is that name?) to play with. He's surrounded by sub-par talent and has to score to make his team competitive. It also comes with him trying to squeeze into the lane and inflates his turnovers. He's a better PG than Lawson, put him in UNC in Lawson's position and he'd excel.

[Kyo]

Yes Im aware they havent really had that great of talent, the only other help he's has is Jared Dudley and thats about it. Sometimes when blair would show up, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, and you know why hansborough has the nickname.

[Tyche]

I'd probably take Flynn over Lawson too. I'll need Deejay to justify it for me though.

[Kyo]

Rehont, hansborough is going to play.

[Akiyama]

Well this game was fun for a while. INC Blowout.
