The Washington Post recently did a three part story about Gary Williams and Maryland's fall from national prominence since their NC, as well as William's recruiting misses and "philosophy". Anyways it's a very interesting read for a College hoops fan.

just got a shout out during the wvu/nova game for winning 3 games in 3 days

2/13/2009 10:42:49 PM

Pretty sure West Virginia just rushed the court for beating #13 Villanova. That's just as bad/worse than ASU rushing on UCLA. Thankfully the ESPN producer didn't show a wide view of it so they didn't get the view of it on TV.

2/13/2009 11:14:25 PM

^^ 07 acc's

2/13/2009 11:22:49 PM

^^how about ASU just broke an 8 game losing streak to UCLA, the premier team in their league. They dont have a rich basketball history and have every right to rush as this is the best they've been in years

[Edited on February 14, 2009 at 10:24 AM. Reason : 8 game losing streak BEFORE this year.. i know they swept UCLA this season]

it's funny that most dook players people hate are white.

2/14/2009 10:45:06 AM

Well you also have to factor in how they all look similar and have that same air of douchebaggery about them. I don't know why K can't just find a regular white guy that doesn't look and act like a douchebag on the court. He could learn a thing or two from Bo Ryan in terms of recruiting white guys.

2/14/2009 11:37:56 AM

I don't think it is possible to be white in the ACC and have opposing fans respect you.

2/14/2009 11:51:48 AM

dude on g'town just got elbowed in the back of the head. Looked intentional to me

2/14/2009 12:32:01 PM

yup, got ejected as he should have. the announcer is full of shit. He keeps saying that it was just poor technique of a swin move

2/14/2009 12:35:16 PM

that was definitely intentional lenny, stop tryin to cover for him

2/14/2009 12:45:31 PM

how in the world did this 'cuse game get into OT?

2/14/2009 2:17:52 PM

Chris Wright drilled a 25 footer to tie it after 'Cuse missed some FTs and turned it over...

Wright was filthy today. 25 points, 7 assists and 5 boards (on 10-15 and 5-8 from 3).

** Actually, Cuse turned it over again and Summers front rimmed a 20 footer that would have won it at the buzzer..

stat line of the year from thabeet today?

25 points, 20 rebounds, 9 blocks

2/14/2009 2:29:12 PM

He should have had his 2nd triple double in 4 games... they called a stupid goaltending early in the first half... He even hit two 15 ft jumpers.

2/14/2009 2:30:47 PM

Double post.

Do any of you guys remember the old Metro Conference? They mentioned something about it on the Cincy-Pitt game and it got me thinking...

That was a pretty nice basketball conference back in the day. All of the following were members at one point:

Georgia Tech
Memphis State (now Memphis)
Louisville
Cincinnati
South Carolina
Virginia Tech
Saint Louis
Charlotte
Florida State
Southern Miss

2/14/2009 5:34:54 PM

it's a shame that conference had to step out da bar

stat line of the year from griffin today?

2/14/2009 7:58:26 PM

where would you people put Battier on the Duke quadrant thing

2/14/2009 8:14:26 PM

probably down there near Brand and Hill....but I was a Duke fan when he was playing so my memory of him at Duke may be biased.

2/14/2009 8:25:42 PM

i hate raisins

2/14/2009 8:34:44 PM

battier was one of the few who was a really good player but also had annoying white boy tendencies. therefore floppier the floor slapper is on my hated list

2/14/2009 8:54:10 PM

I'd put Battier to the right of the quadrant and right on the talent line so he's right in the middle of the douchenozzlery spectrum. Basically in between Laettner and Brand. He could do some things that made you hate him, like the flopping, but you had to respect how well he played the game. If the ref is going to call a charge on the opposing team for your flopping efforts then whatever. You should use that to your advantage. Taking what the refs give you in terms of calls is high basketball IQ.

lol @ one guy that rushed when uva beat clemp

2/15/2009 3:20:27 PM

Give Dave Leitao (sp?) a 5 year extension!

2/15/2009 3:51:34 PM

Remember when Craig Littlepage said he was going to make a "home run hire" after he fired Pete Gillen?

Dave Leitao = bunt.

2/15/2009 3:55:43 PM

foul tip into catcher's glove

lol...

-------------------

Leitao should have never left DePaul for that job... DePaul can be a good job if you can keep the Chicago kids home, which he was actually doing a good job at. He left after back to back NCAAT appearances...

Granted, he left before DePaul was invited to the Big East and the ACC was quite a step up from CUSA...

2/15/2009 4:02:28 PM

virginia can also be a good job.

he hasn't really made the best of it though.

2/15/2009 4:05:41 PM

so you approve of the three pointer-while-scissor-kicking maneuver? the one that reggie miller made famous, and redick and now scheyer love to emulate? to me that's just dirty basketball

2/15/2009 5:12:12 PM

can paul hewitt get fired yet?

2/15/2009 5:16:04 PM

^^ I don't approve of it, but if you can do it and get away with it, then go for it. The old saying "win at all costs" does apply. If you make a million dollars with honest business tactics, or by using underhanded (note: not necessarily illegal) business tactics then it doesn't really matter, you've made a million dollars. That does bring up a good point though. I've heard that former Duke players say that the first thing K teaches you on the first day of practice is how to take and look for a charge. Lowe recently said that he doesn't ever teach players how to look for charges and that when his players get charge calls it's b/c they were playing good defense and in good position.

You can say that Hansbrough has a high basketball IQ. He knows just the right times when to flop. I mean his brother who is a guard has fouled out more times than him. That shows that he doesn't commit stupid fouls and knows when to flop (or it could mean that the refs just favor him ).

took me until yesterday to realize that Valentine seems to no longer be doing ACC games.

thank GOD.

[Edited on February 15, 2009 at 9:00 PM. Reason : lol, also realized we missed otu on all the fun puns announcers make VALENTINE WORKING V-DAY OMGLOL]

2/15/2009 9:00:11 PM

ha. i'll never forget us getting absoutely destroyed by duke a few years ago on valentines day while he was officiating

the announcers couldnt contain themselves

2/15/2009 9:06:00 PM

i'm pretty sure there as many UNC fans at miami as there is miami fans right now

2/15/2009 9:17:54 PM

^ they probably are Wal-Mart UNC fans. Miami is full of them for obvious reasons.

How was that not a goal tending on Green just now in the UNC/Miami game?

2/15/2009 9:21:19 PM

McClinton is FILTHY... He struggled against Jerome Dyson earlier this year... sucks he is injured.

2/15/2009 9:22:43 PM

That was not a charge. Hanbrough jumped right into him.

2/15/2009 9:26:46 PM

See that is a prime example of what I'm talking about in reference to Hansbrough knowing exactly when to flop.

2/15/2009 9:26:53 PM

tyler hansblo with the flop to seal the gave vs. miami
