2012-13 College Basketball Running Cordial Discussion

How the fuck does a guy get that open in that situation?

 

Tie game
0.9 seconds left in the game
Not ONE defensive player within 15 feet of the basket
7-0 center walking slowly toward halfcourt as ball is passed inbounds

 

I know what happened. How the fuck did they let it happen?

 

It's truly a WTF moment.

Not to horn-honk my own illustrious coaching career too much, but shit, from grade-school biddy ball on up, when a basket (any basket) will win the game and you are in the final second or so (no time for a dribble or pass), you pack the fucking lane. If they kick it outside and hit a miracle 25-footer at the horn, c'est la vie. Better that than a fuckin' layup.

That's the kind of play that in the 1950s, they'd be checking the betting lines.

 

Still trying to figure out what Cody Zeller (40) is doing there for IU.

 

What I liked about the final play -- and I'm far from an Illini fan -- is how the guy who lost Zeller for the wide-open game winner is the same guy Zeller talked s&$# to after a dunk in the first half. (there was a technical foul on the play)

Scoreboard.

 

Will Sheehey talked the smack. And it wasn't to a white guy, if I'm not mistaken.

But yes, absolutely. IU and my fellow fans have been a bit arrogant, and got taken down a rather large peg tonight.

But it also meant that all-session tickets for the Indy regional stayed somewhat reasonable, so I pulled the trigger while IU fans were in their doldrums.

 

Wondering what it will be like to play with Tyler for the Cavaliers next season.

 

Oops. That's what happens when you try to watch the game on a 13-inch TV on someone else's desk across from you in the newsroom ...

 

I can't believe Indiana got whacked by 30 at Illinois.

 

Wiggity-whacked.

 

If ever there was a season when a 16 beats a 1, this looks to be the one.
