NCAA Basketball (Page 13 of 30)

sight unseen Liz, rest assured it will be a good lineup on both sides. Did either one have any "bad" players that made it to the NBA? And what a timely post, looks like we have an NBA season after all. The players finally accept a 49-51 % cut of revenue, who cares? I've actually enjoyed watching the early season hockey games. Two games I think that have greatly benefitted from HDTV are golf and hockey. Hey ma, I can see the puck and keep up with it, sort of. Enough off topic, Bama gets VCU on Mon night, out of conference gets tougher with Georgetown end of next week I believe.

I checked the local tube listings and the LV tourney is on Bill. I'll be watching and pulling for the upset by the RR's. We need some conference team coverage nationally. I saw the 6-1 Aztec's killing the UAz. home streak and the coverage featured the inbound jam by Ariz. on a meaningless last play. 

edit: Raining treys on the Tarheels! Very nice win Bill. The Running Rebels finally shut up the apologist east coast announcers who give grudging respect at the end. MWC not such a nice place to come to now.  Aztecs gut one out in OT on the road again. There should be a couple of rated teams out west soon.

Were you there Bill? Most impressive!

Way to go UNLV, my son said he meant to tell me last night.   I was unaware they had pulled it off. Yes, a great win and new rankings coming, both UNLV and SDSU should be top twenty.

Hard to believe, but with SEC expansion the IU/UK rivalry may end.  Faced with ending either the Hoosiers, Louisville, or Carolina, Kentucky fans picked IU as the odd man out.  The overall series is 22-30 on favor of the Cats, but IU will be a formidable team the rest of this decade with two number 1 recruiting classes ('12 & '14).
Hopefully this won't happen as this has always been a great rivalry.  When I was at IU we only lost to them once, but it was a big one (92-90 against maybe Indiana's best team).  That was the unbeaten '75 playing without their top player in Scott May.  I named my son after their All-American point guard, Quinn Buckner.

That UCSB team is tough! Aztecs again let a 17 pt lead wane away. They aren't as good as last year's team and lined up a bunch of super good teams early. Creighton showed why they are ranked and still undefeated. (it didn't go to ot) Time will tell...

nice win Bill, I saw that final and breathed a sigh of relief for you. Sorry to see SDSU go down Rick. I think they were up by like 10 end of the first half, but 17 really hurts. You're right, Creighton is very good, that would have been a quality upset. We get Georgetown tonight, at Tuscaloosa I believe, and it's on the tube. This may be our first true test even though VCU gave us fits, however we are at our best on the home court. It will be funny to see how many people are there with the late start, it's at 8:30 CST.

yes, ESPN or ESPN-2 at 6:30 your time, assuming it's not a regional coverage thing.
