Running 2011-12 College Basketball thread

Does IU make the players cover tattoos?

 

That was a helluva of a finish.

And Terrence Jones (at least temporarily) benched by Kentucky.

 

Holy crap, that was a good game.

My boss, as IU is walking the ball up the floor: "I bet they take a 3."

 

Never has a coach looked so in shock after his team just won than Tom Crean did:

 

I love how ESPN put the score on the wrong side ...

 

Wasn't even the right score if it was switched.

 

The score would have been 75-70 if Kentucky hit that 3 ...

 

Not a fan of his blaming the refs for not letting him get a timeout, but damn, I loved most of that. "You are not that important. It's only a basketball game." He might just be saying the right things, but that doesn't make him wrong. And watching that, I don't doubt his sincerity or his anger with his players.

 

As much as I harp on colleges shielding coaches and players - there is no way any of the players involved in the Xavier-Cincy brawl should have been made available to the media after that.

 

The message would get through if one of the presidents of these schools said, "I think it would be good for the men's basketball team to take a month off."

 

Amazing game.

KU's guards played great, but IU just played out of their heads. Villanova good.

 

UK's guards. KU played impressively and beat Ohio State today.
