That is completely silly. UConn has a history of having down seasons after the Final Fours. Three years ago they were .500 and didn't even make the NIT. They have had four NIT seasons since 1990 and he has never once done this. K had the losses struck from his record in his ONLY bad year in like 25.

my opinion is this has to do with wins and losses too

if they were 16-1 i strongly feel he would not be taking a leave of absence

1/20/2010 9:46:07 AM

haha... i knew someone would troll NyM about Calhoun and draw comparisons to coach K when I heard about it yesterday.

1/20/2010 9:46:27 AM

So did I and I know it's really just ignorance, but I'm on the computer and I type fast so here I am.

Anyway, like I said, it's all about freeing up time to recruit illegally. He'll probably be out in Nevada paying for hookers for Corey Joseph.

I love how white athletes can make fun of themselves, black athletes can make fun of white athletes, and fans can make fun of white athletes, but everyone in the media loves to dance around every possible reason except for the right one, which hint hint has something to do with my username

1/20/2010 5:40:31 PM

well they don't believe in natural selection in the first place

1/20/2010 5:43:01 PM

zellers never been their best player

who's announcing this UNC game?

1/20/2010 7:04:22 PM

nba

1/20/2010 7:05:44 PM

that's what i thought. is this another espn nba/ncaa announcer switch gimmick or what?

1/20/2010 7:07:46 PM

yep and


FLYLEAF

1/20/2010 7:09:19 PM

Ish Smith is killing it tonight.

1/20/2010 7:16:06 PM

Wake is looking real good

It's interesting to see how big of a difference an experienced PG makes on two evenly matched teams

1/20/2010 7:28:43 PM

Wake's getting ready to run away with it after this time out. UNC doesn't have the bodies to bang down low all night, and the refs are letting them play.

1/20/2010 7:30:19 PM

When was Carolina unranked last?

1/20/2010 7:35:09 PM

03? 04? Somewhere near the end of the Sam Eagle era....

1/20/2010 7:45:01 PM

Carolina shouldn't be ranked right now. I bet Xavier would beat the fuck out of UNC.

1/20/2010 8:06:23 PM

Probably '06 when they were a 6 seed...

gosh damn i wish we had aminu. If we had a guy like aminu to put at the 4.....that would be very fucking nice

1/20/2010 8:09:37 PM

Wow, anyone see the replay of that last Aminu dunk? Dude got straight up swatted on the head and no foul called.

1/20/2010 8:10:07 PM

^^^^ That's why I really want to see them lose tonight.

1/20/2010 8:17:13 PM

^^^Screw Aminu, I'd love to have Smith. He completely controls the game with his speed and ball-handling. I don't know when he got so good, but damn.

If they'd quit passing McFarland the ball, they'd run away with this thing.

He's been good, we just forgot because of the year when Teague ran the point and looked even better

1/20/2010 8:28:59 PM

DON'T YOU GO AND CHOKE, WAKE

1/20/2010 8:30:46 PM

remember he took over off the bench as a freshman in that 2 ot game against georgia tech in the acc tournament?

1/20/2010 8:33:27 PM

I live in Winston, and I've heard Wake fans talking shit about Smith for the last couple of years. I haven't watched him much, but I really could never figure out the hate. Maybe because he's not Chris Paul..

1/20/2010 8:42:57 PM

1/20/2010 8:44:34 PM

^ Yup. Really looking forward to the UNC game next week.

1/20/2010 8:51:48 PM

you know the game is out of hand when Van Grundle starts making fun of McFarland's name

1/20/2010 8:53:13 PM

Mark Jackson shitting all over David Thompson

Danny fucking Ainge?

1/20/2010 8:54:10 PM

THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME

p.s. our basketball program turned 100 this year too

because someone has already been fired for doing just that.

Quote :

"On January 16, 1988, he was fired by the CBS network (where he was a contributor to the NFL Today program since 1976) after commenting to WRC-TV reporter Ed Hotaling in a Washington, D.C. restaurant that African Americans were naturally superior athletes at least in part because they had been bred to produce stronger offspring during slavery: “ The black is a better athlete to begin with because he's been bred to be that way — because of his high thighs and big thighs that goes up into his back, and they can jump higher and run faster because of their bigger thighs. This goes back all the way to the Civil War when during the slave trading, the owner — the slave owner would breed his big black to his big woman so that he could have a big black kid. ” According to the New York Times obituary, Snyder expressed regret for his comments, remarking: "What a foolish thing to say.""

Danny Manning

1/20/2010 8:59:03 PM

oh did he say Manning? well thats better, he led Kansas to the 88 title...still he left off DT

1/20/2010 9:02:04 PM

Any list without DT on it is a joke.

1/20/2010 9:03:26 PM

So basically Roy is lost without a point guard to run his playground offense?

1/20/2010 9:05:23 PM

he's too hardheaded to change his game style to match the players, so basically, yes

1/20/2010 9:11:42 PM

i dunno...its pretty obvious that his style of game works well when he has a player that can play point. I think its probably a better idea that he doesn't switch his style from one year to the next, just plan on having an up then down year as his players cycle in and out

13-5 after the first half... must have been an exciting game to watch

1/21/2010 11:48:51 AM

will someone tell me how the fuck duke is STILL #6 after the loss against us?

1/23/2010 11:02:56 AM

Yes.

The new polls don't come out until tomorrow.

1/23/2010 11:07:33 AM

polls should come out every other day.
