2012/13 College Basketball Season (Page 8 of 13)

and Illinois had lost 8 out of their last 11, after starting the season 12-0. Seems that nobody wants #1, teams are just renting that space for a week or two. I thought Florida was the real deal, wanted them to have a turn at #1, but not so much.

The sick Cameron Crazies really stuck the pin in the party hog last night. If you listen to the video closely you can hear it clearly, not just a handful of students. I feel sorry for coach K and the team, they had nothing to do with it. I can truthfully say with Samuel L. Jackson in A Time to Kill, "I hope they all burn in hell". Check out the very last line in the article, but I'm not sure that's true any more now that they have some concrete evidence.

Different day, different teams, different surprise.  And the very biggest surprise was how open sophomore Zeller let Griffey get!  It looked like a fixed fight!!!

“Now, this isn’t your ordinary party crowd, here.  I mean, there are professionals in here.”

More in keeping would be Atom Ant!

I did not pick up on that, I was too busy waxing nostalgic; Saturday mornings in front of the TV, watching Huckleberry and listening to his southern drawl.

Oh yes Rocket, I couldn't believe my eyes at that end game meltdown and Zeller is fast becoming a liability defending.  Especially on inbounds plays. That Illinois coach set it up perfectly while our guy did nothing with three timeouts in his pocket.  Illinois hung around the whole game mainly due to so many unforced turnovers by us and those last three minutes played like the team that started 12-0.  That game is gonna cost us winning the Big Ten.

As for a cartoon comparison mine is Pepe Le Pew.

It just isn't Kentucky's year.

The Big 10 continues to look like the Big East whomping each other down.  A couple of bruisers could pummel their way through the Tourney.

The shortest month of the year can wreak havoc on teams and seem the longest.

Rock ON & Keep the Faith,

It's certainly getting interesting.

Aztecs likely won't even make the Sweet 16 if they are in anyway in my opinion.  Creighton looks like a sunk ship unless they win out.  Too bad they are too good a team, blew some badly, but Wichita State is probably better for the long haul.  They'll meet for their final regular conference game.  I think Kansas is ranked too low, and Ohio State too high.  Butler got a reality check from Charlotte...

Syracuse losing at UConn ZERO surprise.  Storrs is as bad as the Carrier Dome, worse even due to it's isolation.  Of course the Calhoun factor always figures in, even when it is not the coach! Actually, in my opinion Jim Calhoun was a superior coach compared to Jim Boeheim.  His health problems took his win totals down towards the end of his career.  And rivalries in the Big East..., wow is to going to be awkward for the Orange fans next year. 

Michigan State, Miami, Gonzaga, Oregon, Baylor, Indiana, all playing well. 

Some pretty good matchups tonight: St. Mary's-Gonzaga, Louisville-St. John's, Wisconsin-Minnesota.  If Colorado can avoid OT and play well they might beat Arizona (overrated in my opinion) tonight.

All teams mottos should now be SURVIVE!

It's a sellout crowd for tonight’s game against SDSU. Thankfully it a home game because the Rebels sure can't get it together when out on the road. It's going to be loud! I won't have a voice tomorrow.
