Moral victory threads in 5.4.3... On IC.

Lol Carolina has more moral victories than any team this year by far

I'm going to beat you guys to it

although in fairness...our game threads after losses are pretty pathetic as well

what about the screen at the end where barnes got ran over? was that a no call?

12/18/2010 6:28:24 PM

Of course it's a no call. He was motionless and it was a good screen. It certainly wasn't a foul on Texas, if that is what you're implying.

[Edited on December 18, 2010 at 6:38 PM. Reason : dude just got knocked by a good screen]

12/18/2010 6:37:36 PM

I don't think Barnes had established position and the refs were right for not bailing UNC out on some bullshit like that anyway.

12/18/2010 6:38:34 PM

lol at UNC for blowing that game. I'm sure UNC fans will cling to the "close loss to a top-25 team on a neutral site" bullshit to reassure them that they are still a good team. The only problem is that is was a loss to a decent team in what was essentially a home game. Fuck UNC.

Sidney was wailing on that kid. Wonder what kind of punishment they'll get. The Sidney kid was just coming off a one game suspension for "conduct detrimental to the team". Hmm...wonder what that could have been about....

Hell of a start to Big East Play tonight. Keep it flipping between the two ESPN's with this and MNF.

12/27/2010 2:56:27 PM

Why is San Diego State ranked seventh

12/27/2010 9:54:20 PM

Clemson beat Delaware State by 35 points tonight

I was about to say let's investigate the SDSU coach for hiring, but dude is old as shit.

12/27/2010 10:56:35 PM

SDSU's coach is the former Michigan coach, Steve Fisher, that won them their only national title in 1989, and went to the Final Four in 1992, and 1993.

12/28/2010 2:00:03 AM

LOL at the analysts on ESPN asking why UNC doesn't have a number next to their name when doing basketball previews for tonight...

12/28/2010 12:57:05 PM

Tonight we are all from New Jersey

12/28/2010 10:12:28 PM

So glad the fake UConn team is going to lose -- so tired of hearing about them.

12/30/2010 10:47:02 PM

same here.

12/30/2010 11:07:34 PM

tough start to the ASU v OSU game

watching two matchup zone teams is disgusting

12/30/2010 11:09:22 PM

Andrew Goudelock is ridiculous

"Top-to-bottom conference rankings With conference play getting into full swing, what better time to rank each of the big six conferences from top to bottom? This is my perception of who is better in each conference as we get into 2011. This list has nothing to do with records, as records are deceiving. Road games and back loaded schedules can deceive even Joe Lunardi, so don't let your view get skewed. It is my intent to update the list every week with less detail on this blog.

several ACC games today. wake about to go down to gonzaga. down 12 with 1:20 left

1/2/2011 3:04:26 PM

Nice forearm slug by Nolan Smith there.

If Miami could learn to finish around the rim they might stay in this.

1/2/2011 8:20:00 PM

chance of CJ Leslie getting a tech. if he dunked and slapped the board like that: 99.9%

1/2/2011 9:01:02 PM

the Plumlees are super frustrating to watch

still think Duke needs a new big man coach, the last two months of Zoubek's career nonwithstanding

1/2/2011 9:07:01 PM

Who could be better than Wojo?

1/2/2011 9:15:15 PM

It was supposedly a year ago tonight that Florida hit the half-court buzzer beater on us. I just saw the replay on ESPNU.

Penn dominated Kentucky in the first half tonight. Then the Wildcats stomped them.

1/3/2011 9:05:59 PM

St. John's beat Georgetown -- another RPI hit for us.

And this is fucking nuts. St. John's played the first of EIGHT straight games against ranked opponents. EIGHT. For comparison sake, Duke plays ZERO the rest of the regular season.

[Edited on January 3, 2011 at 9:22 PM. Reason : good to see MSG with some energy for a Saint John's game too]

UConn coming back down to earth... they're a one-man team

currently being pwnt by Psycho B

1/4/2011 8:43:37 PM

Lunardi's bracketology was updated Monday. Has 5 ACC teams in (1 on the first 4 out and 1 on the next 4 out)

maybe it wont be PAC-10 bad like those in the credibility thread claim.

1/5/2011 11:39:21 AM

Goodness gracious, this game is moving fast.

And Harrell! Whoa!

1/8/2011 12:39:27 PM

UVA's guards are looking good. Almost as good as UNC's guards are bad. Drew sucks hard.

1/8/2011 12:46:30 PM

21 foul called on UNC in 18 minutes of basketball

[Edited on January 8, 2011 at 12:48 PM. Reason : fixed]

1/8/2011 12:46:48 PM

^They just made up for it on the last 2 possesions. 4 fouls called on UNC.

[Edited on January 8, 2011 at 12:51 PM. Reason : V exactly]

1/8/2011 12:47:49 PM

Make up calls are the worst things possible. I thin they give UNC fouls when it won't really hurt them that much to be called for a foul. Then they can say "look we are calling it even" when in reality they don't call the fouls that would actually matter (in the act of shooting etc).

1/8/2011 12:49:38 PM

Gotta say, these Big East refs are just as bad as any ACC refs I have seen.

1/8/2011 12:58:28 PM

UNC's offense is terrible today

1/8/2011 1:12:25 PM

^^ The top level of refs in college are independent. They aren't "ACC refs" or "Big East refs." For instance, John Cahill and Bryan Kersey ref games in both conferences and I want to say Teddy Valentine does as well among others...

^^^ conspiracy any? I think that teams who have consistently been good for a long time get more calls (UNC, Duke, UConn, Kentucky, UCLA, Kansas, etc)
