Did you miss the 900 turnovers we made?

Kyrie Irving out indefinitely with toe injury

12/8/2010 2:26:59 PM

that'll hurt

12/8/2010 2:46:57 PM

not really, they don't play a good team again until January 2nd.

12/8/2010 3:01:46 PM

Good? A team that got a dick shoved down it's throat by Rutgers?

Pretty cool I guess, but it still won't hold a candle to football

Quote :

"NEW YORK -- Men's college basketball has struggled to tip off its season with any fanfare in the midst of November football. To combat that, four of the sport's top programs -- Duke, Michigan State, Kentucky and Kansas -- have committed to create the Champions Classic, an early season marquee event debuting in 2011 and televised by ESPN. The first Champions Classic is set for Madison Square Garden in New York, with Duke facing Michigan State and Kentucky meeting Kansas on Nov. 15, 2011. Year 2 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta will see Michigan State vs. Kansas and Duke vs. Kentucky on Nov. 13, 2012. The third event, Nov. 12, 2013 at the United Center in Chicago, will have Michigan State playing Kentucky and Kansas playing Duke. "I'm ecstatic about it because for our program it's probably bigger than all the others," said Michigan State coach Tom Izzo, who won the national championship in 2000 and has been to six Final Fours with the Spartans. "We're maybe the team that has come on in the last 10 years while the others have been there for 50. It's an honor and a privilege. It really will bring a lot of attention for basketball." Izzo, whose team was humbled by Syracuse Tuesday night in the Jimmy V Classic in New York, said that agreeing to play in the Champions Classic was "phenomenal and hopefully we'll play better than we did [Tuesday]." Izzo said college basketball has been lacking something of this nature. He said he committed to the concept as soon as he received the phone call. Izzo said Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski had no qualms, either. Izzo said he called Kentucky coach John Calipari to make sure he was on board; Kentucky committed in the fall. Krzyzewski is going for his fifth national title in April after winning his fourth earlier this year. Calipari reached the national title game while at Memphis and coached Kentucky to the Elite Eight last March. Kansas coach Bill Self won the national title in 2008 while at Kansas, beating Calipari's Memphis Tigers. "I thought it was a great idea and I think it's great playing on neutral sites," said Self after the Jayhawks beat Memphis in the Jimmy V Classic Tuesday. "To come back to Madison Square Garden will be great with three other unbelievable programs. I'll bet each of these programs will sell whatever ticket allotment they have -- 4 to 5,000." Self noted that Kansas and Duke will head from the game in New York next season to the loaded Maui Invitational that includes Tennessee, Memphis, UCLA, Georgetown, Michigan and host Chaminade. "I hope we have a good recruiting class in the spring because that week certainly will be as good as it will be for us all year long," Self said. Self said that Kansas has played home-and-home series with Michigan State and Kentucky, but said it's hard for big-time schools to play true home-and-home series because of pressures to play home games. "You schedule what's best for your program and there are a lot of reasons -- recruiting, exposure and money. Sometimes you can't play too many road games due to money," Self said. "It's hard to go home-and-home with Duke. It's hard to do that with Kentucky or Michigan State. That's why this neutral site is a good deal. I don't think any of the coaches involved will see anything negative with this.""

I forgot the season ended in November. They just beat Mississippi and WVU, they aren't world beaters but they are significantly better competition than UNC-G and Bradley.

12/8/2010 4:00:43 PM

ahahaha, didn't realize this....but John Henson is shooting 35% for free throws this year

12/8/2010 7:09:04 PM

he air-balled two free-throws in a row against Kentucky

12/8/2010 7:10:06 PM

They are far and away the best conference, but the Big East is taking it on the chin tonight.

Arkansas over Seton Hall (oh, Hazell is still out -- that's like UConn playing without Kemba) and BCU over Providence.

I hope ND can beat Calimari, though.

(also, how does a toe injury get a guy out indefinitely? is there not even a timetable?)

[Edited on December 8, 2010 at 8:27 PM. Reason : ^ lol, Henson is nasty but that was the most hilarious thing I've seen in years]

"Arkansas over Seton Hall"

wut

[Edited on December 8, 2010 at 8:45 PM. Reason : dunno what the score was when you posted, but right now its SH 51, ARK 50]

aaaaaaaaand Arkansas goes on an 8-0 run to take a 58-51 lead

[Edited on December 8, 2010 at 8:52 PM. Reason : argh]

12/8/2010 8:44:34 PM

Yeah, Seton Hall was likely a tourney team with a healthy Hazell... but fuck Terry Dehere and their entire program.

V UK has played one game a year there recently -- but now UL plays in Yum! so UK is the only one having a game there this year.

[Edited on December 8, 2010 at 8:59 PM. Reason : also, fuck calipara]

12/8/2010 8:57:39 PM

this court for Seton Hall / Arkansas is confusing me

says Kentucky and Wildcats on the ends, but Freedom Hall? I thought that was Louisville's place

12/8/2010 8:58:23 PM

Best freshman ever with another solid showing.

3-11 FG, 0-5 3PT

[Edited on December 8, 2010 at 9:07 PM. Reason : why is duke-bradley on espn2? does mike patrick need a handjob tonight by K?]

12/8/2010 9:02:13 PM

probably because he's going for Rupp +1

12/8/2010 9:08:07 PM

can't wait to see all the bitch ass UNC fans crying when they get taken out when K takes the overall W lead in another year or so

12/8/2010 9:14:29 PM

Fuck his bitch ass... they are our second biggest rival IMO.

I'd rather Bob Knight keep it...

[Edited on December 8, 2010 at 9:15 PM. Reason : uconn could have chosen the final scored against fdu -- not a good sign for us]

12/8/2010 9:15:16 PM

ugly ass shooting so far for the most part

12/8/2010 9:21:52 PM

haha i was about to edit my post and in the edit line just say something to the effect of 'NyM hates Duke more than UNC'

12/8/2010 9:38:18 PM

Could you imagine UNC playing home games in Reynolds? This is what is happening..

For my money that state's basketball rivalry (UL-UK) is absolutely as good as Duke-UNC.

(why the fuck do they let Jimmy Dykes do UK games? he's as bad as Patrick/Vitale doing a UNC/Duke game)

[Edited on December 8, 2010 at 9:41 PM. Reason : ^ and you'd be right...]

12/8/2010 9:38:39 PM

dammit, how/why does Mike Patrick keep getting work as a football and basketball commentator? He is far and away my least favorite commentator. He knows jack shit about basketball and/or football (perfect example is that damn "what happened to Britney Spears?" rant he went on a couple years ago) yet he continues to get work for the primetime games on espn or abc

I wish he would just slip up, call someone a nappy headed hoe, and get banned from tv

Having pulled ligaments in my toes before, I can say with confidence he is out for at least 6 months. Maybe a year.

Shit takes forever to heal. It doesnt hurt during the day to day, you just cant push off. It was a year before my foot felt normal.

12/9/2010 2:02:45 AM

i can't remember the last time a dook player missed significant time with an injury. wouldn't shock me if he was back by january. they have some voodoo magic over there

12/9/2010 7:16:06 AM

Saint Louis looks like a steaming pile of shit...

** Side note. The SEC/Big East Invitational is going to the same format as ACC/Big 10 next year. 12 teams and on campus. Don't know how they are going to split it up with what four Big East teams don't play.

[Edited on December 11, 2010 at 12:35 PM. Reason : wow, don't know why I said Duke and not Saint Louis]

12/11/2010 12:29:23 PM

I thought the bigg east had 17 teams next year

12/11/2010 12:57:36 PM

rick majerus you fat fuck

12/11/2010 1:26:17 PM

And1 guy on the PA at Louisville

12/11/2010 1:30:08 PM

That Kuric kid can ball... I remember him basically singlehandedly beating Syracuse last year.

Also, highly jealous of the Yum!

12/11/2010 1:30:54 PM

Call it The Bucket

12/11/2010 1:38:53 PM

Hahaha apparently GA Tech had to sweat one out vs. Savannah St. who is 1-9. 6 pt lead with under a minute left.

12/11/2010 6:09:41 PM

wow, Syracuse!

12/11/2010 7:58:47 PM

http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/boxscore?gameId=303450183

46-8 at halftime.

12/11/2010 7:58:58 PM

10% shooting at the half

that zone is a killer

12/11/2010 8:13:23 PM

god fucking dammit. woulda been awesome if we had beaten them. wtf

12/11/2010 8:27:40 PM

tight game for UNC

12/11/2010 8:28:55 PM

UNC barely pulled it out and allowed Long Beach State to put up 91 points.

12/11/2010 9:25:13 PM

Fab Melo 6 minutes 0 points against a shitass team. Why again is he so hyped?

[Edited on December 11, 2010 at 9:37 PM. Reason : a]

12/11/2010 9:33:47 PM

the key to beating UNC this year will be sending them to the FT line and hitting them with backdoor passing

12/11/2010 9:35:23 PM

^^ Cause he is big and went to a big name school. Who knows maybe he will develop into something but he looks pretty terrible.
^That or getting Zeller in foul trouble. All the rest of their bigs are soft.

12/11/2010 9:37:36 PM

Melo is a lot like Thabeet was when he entered school. Now, Hasheem will never be a great pro, but damn if he wasn't as dominant a college defender as I've seen since Mutumbo.

Super raw players might not ever equate to professional success, but they can be superb college players after a few years.

12/12/2010 1:54:56 AM

12/12/2010 1:58:38 AM

BC wins @ Maryland 79-75. Not a good way to start the season for the Terps.

12/12/2010 5:59:16 PM

^^ Twista...I hope you're not trying to insinuate that Thompson's college success didn't translate into professional success.

12/12/2010 6:34:12 PM

nah i just saw that picture last night and wanted to post it somewhere...had nothing to do with anything else aside from how awesome DT is and celebrating our 1974 title

also lol at Wake losing by 12 to UNCW

12/12/2010 6:35:11 PM

That is a bad ass picture.

12/12/2010 6:38:15 PM

Syracuse went on beat Colgate 100-43.
Wisconsin beat Marquette 69-64.
and GeorgeTown beat AppState 89-60.

and I also saw that George Mason beat UNCW 80-52 on 12/4.
(the same UNCW that just whooped WakeForest 81-69 in W-S)

12/12/2010 7:33:32 PM

UNCW is still gargabe tho, lets not give any unwaranted credit to this terrible Wake team.
