I don't care what Pack Pride says -- Georgetown is still considered a "good loss" even though they're 1-3 in conference and have lost 3 of their last 4 games

1/8/2011 1:19:14 PM

i dont know if its a conspiracy or not, but you pretty much just confirmed that there was something that gives certain teams preferential calls, so theres something wrong with it

although it doesnt usually manifest itself until the NCAA tourney, when teams like UNC, used to getting calls all season, actually have relatively fair officiating and don't know how to handle it

1/8/2011 1:20:01 PM

I don't think it's a conspiracy. Sure they get the benefit of the doubt, but a lot of these best teams also have dynamic offensive big men that draw contact.

I didnt realize this. I figured it was like football where all of the officials were associated with a conference. Whatever the case, those refs screwed Georgetown a couple of plays to end the game.

UNC sucks and they still get the all of the calls. I believe in this conspiracy.

UVA is brutal offensively.

1/8/2011 1:46:28 PM

NC state formula.. Build double digit lead then forget how to score for 10 minutes and lose down the stretch

1/8/2011 1:47:34 PM

went downstairs to B0j0s' living room when UNC was up 22-13 in the first half, and stayed till halftime and gave UVA some good mojo

then i went back down in the 2nd half and the mojo was gone, so ive come back upstairs

1/8/2011 1:47:44 PM

UVA tried shooting too many mid-range shots that weren't falling

they either needed to commit to the 3 or take it to the hoop on each possession

1/8/2011 2:05:13 PM

Well what we can take from that game is that both teams are pretty terrible.. Without zeller Carolina would be lucky to win 6 ACC games this year

1/8/2011 2:06:55 PM

haha Murray State's rims have those old short-ass nets

1/8/2011 2:08:50 PM

14 of UNC's final 16 points, and 17 of their 32 pts for the half, were on FT's.

1/8/2011 2:14:51 PM

^ what's the significance of that stat?

1/8/2011 2:21:32 PM

Are you dense?

1/8/2011 2:23:48 PM

They had 10 of those FTs in the last minute when UVa was fouling/going for steals... It wasn't as big a spread as they've had in some other games over the years.

[Edited on January 8, 2011 at 2:27 PM. Reason : last 1:30 I guess]

1/8/2011 2:24:58 PM

^ that's what I was getting at

1/8/2011 2:29:31 PM

similar to the Kentucky game, where I think UNC didn't make a basket for the last 6 minutes and still won. and it's not like they were ahead at that 6 minute point

let's not try to act like this was a game that UNC led the whole time and UVA was trying to foul a lot to get back into it.

[Edited on January 8, 2011 at 2:31 PM. Reason : ]

1/8/2011 2:29:39 PM

let's not

1/8/2011 2:39:25 PM

UNC got the benefit of the calls at the end of the game. There is no doubt about that. There were at least two over the back fouls that were not called. UNC wouldn't have been in position to shoot those ten extra free throws if they weren't gifted those first four free throws.

1/8/2011 3:04:43 PM

Meh...UVA lost that game by playing shitty offense in the 2nd half. All they had to do was hit a couple buckets, but they couldn't get anything going.

UNC had been looking pretty good in the past few games, but that was not an impressive performance. But a W is a W...especially on the road (I don't even bother to add, "in the ACC" because it's apparent that the conference is fucking garbage this year).

1/8/2011 3:19:28 PM

Yeah, a win is win. They sadly look to be the 2nd best team in an awful league.

1/8/2011 3:57:17 PM

Balbay is the best defender I've seen this year. Absolutely suffocating Kemba..

1/8/2011 4:13:17 PM

crazy shot by UConn as the shot clock expired

1/8/2011 5:45:14 PM

great game. Kemba with the game winner.

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

I know I'm saying this right after a win and I wouldn't have if they lost probably, but it's not like they were getting beat by scrubs. Three Top 15 teams all in true road games in the last four games.

75% of teams in the country don't play three Top 15 teams in true road games all season long.

[Edited on January 8, 2011 at 5:57 PM. Reason : and roscoe smith... wtf buddy?]

1/8/2011 5:56:59 PM

they've played good teams.

I still think they're a one-man team though.

lol at that Roscoe Smith throw

Kentucky down by 5 at UGA late

Auburn losing to LSU 26-6 at the half, shooting 8.3% from the field

1/8/2011 6:52:13 PM

6? That's Herb at Madison Square Garden type efficiency.

1/8/2011 6:54:22 PM

Not as good as Cal's 5pt first half against ND earlier this year.

1/8/2011 6:57:33 PM

LOL, I know someone who went to this game only because they got a free blanket

1/8/2011 7:01:00 PM

watching michigan play is brutal

[Edited on January 9, 2011 at 5:03 PM. Reason : they are terrible]

1/9/2011 5:03:09 PM

umm, the playoffs are on

1/9/2011 5:09:38 PM

ok noob

1/9/2011 5:10:12 PM

until (or if) Irving comes back, I think Kansas is the best team in the country

1/9/2011 5:10:46 PM

kansas is definitely a great team but michigan is fucking pathetic

1/9/2011 5:11:56 PM

Michigan has the exact same uniforms as us, just in their colors

1/9/2011 5:49:59 PM

2pt game, 1 min to go.

1/9/2011 6:34:33 PM

OT

1/9/2011 6:36:42 PM

Yet another unimpressive performance by Kansas...

1/9/2011 6:39:10 PM

...and another win.

1/9/2011 6:58:37 PM

True enough I don't know how they have done it. Some really shitty teams have taken them to the wire and they just barely win it.

1/9/2011 7:04:18 PM

Are you talking about Kansas or NCSU?

Because when NCSU does it, "we" are supposed to be happy we got the W.

1/9/2011 7:05:35 PM

Still inexplicably holding on to that whole Kansas is overrated thing I see?

1/9/2011 7:09:41 PM

^ Even with their superstar freshman Michigan took them to overtime. They also had very close calls with some of the worst Pac-10 teams out there. Yes they are still undefeated but the margins haven't been too convincing. There best win is against Memphis so yeah not too inexplicable.
^^ What we should be expecting out of the #3 team in the nation and NCSU are entirely different things right now. Your inability to understand that really explains your irrational views concerning the current state of NCSU basketball.

1/9/2011 7:45:02 PM

I see a Maryland win tonight.

1/9/2011 8:01:18 PM

^^I'd say Kansas barely winning at Michigan is a little more impressive than NC State barely winning at home against Delaware State but what do I know?

[Edited on January 9, 2011 at 8:04 PM. Reason : Kansas hasn't lost and you're still not impressed, we are 11-4 and you're ecstatic]

1/9/2011 8:03:14 PM

state's not overrated, just overhyped, as usual

packboozie takes time out to trash NCSU, even when it's not a topic of discussion. That sandy vagina reputation is well-earned.
