Unbelievable. A great program that hasn't won a title in 25 years and hasn't been to the final four in over a decade. And after being horrific for three years, in their best season in a decade, they failed to advance past the sweet 16....what a powerhouse program.
They're losing their entire team.
I hear ya. I finished applying to grad schols, and as much as it pained me, I applied to BC. Or Univerisity of Massachusetts Boston College State University (UMBCSU) as its referred to here. Its a great program, but I honestly dont know how I could root for their athletics.
Some things need to be kept in mind. First, Lebron is undeniably great right now. But he’s being compared to the greatest athlete of all time, and possibly the person that mastered his craft to a greater extent than anyone ever has. Until recently, Lebon’s game was predicated almost entirely...
Just watched the 99 title game on VHS (original copy) at my parents house. After seeing Langdon dribble it off his legs I say Jim Calhoun had it right and To Not Foul! Go
Huskies!!!
The most amazing thing is that 3 years ago he was playing in the NBA. He only has two years of coaching experience at any level and look how good he is already. He still has so much to learn and he is already an incredible coach. It's really awesome to think of how amazing he is going to be...
Oh my God. The hits just keep on coming! Sportscenter headline: "Carmelo goes Cold" 5-24 tonight and blew his chance to become the first Knick to lead the league in scoring at the all-star break since Bernard King.
Wait for it....wait for it...I bet he has a nasty taste in his mouth too...
I was stunned too. But then I couldnt stop laughing hysterically with pure joy.
Its just so ironic that he blew the game by playing the same type of D that gets tons of Cuse alums booted from the league, and allows us to rag on Cuse and how they dont develop players and the zone D doesnt...
Couldnt make it up. Those words came out of a certain Syracuse alum named Dion Waiters in an interview tonight.
The lowdown: Waiters hit a stepback 3 with 10 seconds left on the clock to put the Cavs up 2 against the Spurs. Dion proceeded to stomp around mean mugging for 20 seconds. Spurs...
I'm confused. In your initial rant you screamed that we would have "basically no scholarships". Then caw broke it down in an actual coherent way and discovered that we would have 3 scholarships to give at a minimum. You then liked his post. But you're screaming at posters saying we will have...
This is the first time I have ever said anything negative about KO but for god sakes CALL A TIMEOUT. A 15-0 run is what it takes to finally call a timeout? This is starting to be a trend. We get a big lead, he puts some crap lineup in with Nolan and Evans and Giff or something and we get...
Does anyone know why Bobby Knight is always difinitively ahead of Calhoun? They each won 3 titles. Knight has more wins but Calhoun built an also ran program into a national power. Knight's Indiana teams also didnt win a title in his last 15 years or so. He also has the Texas Tech years...
Met him in the concession line last night. Real nice kid. I told him to hit the weights and to practice his boxing out skills over the summer! He laughed and basically said he cant wait to start playing and hopes he can help us and that we should be really good next year.

For those...
A chance?' We definitely would have won. Still should have even being down 13. We were right there at the end. But to everyone who says this team sucks. To be down 13 at Pitt and to be tied with two min to go shows what this team is made of
He's not. A lets also not forget Paul Harris who was another huge recruit who never even sniffed the league.
Now whose ready good laugh??
Speaking of Paul Harris, last I looked it up he was on the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters of the renowned Philipino league. If you think I'm joking look it up.
I honestly think their biggest recruiting pitch is "come here and you wont have to play defense and you will be adored by our self aggrandizing fans".
Then again they have a lot of crap working for them. Just here to sit in the zone, wont play anyone out of conference so pad those stats...
This is awesome. I've kept saying to my dad basically all season, "there has to be a 30 point differential between when Wolf is in and when Olander is". Well I guess I was right!
I've just never seen anyone protect the rim worse than TO. He seems like a nice kid who works hard and really...
And you never saw a certain Jim Calhoun do that? Thats what makes certain coaches great. Did you see Saban doing the same thing in the 2nd half against ND.
I understand TO is undersized but he needs to at least attempt to defend the hoop. At the end of the ND game he was a defensive beast, altering and blocking shots. I was stunned; never seen him do that before.
Then against Lville he just turned and watched smith or whoever lay it in. Im not...
I know we have few options but I do notice a difference when Wolf is in there. The game started out 20-17 or so and they were getting lay up after layup. Wolf comes in and l ville went 2 for their next 12 and we made a little run. Now out guards need to do a better job staying in front of...
We simply can't keep playing olander at the 5. When he's in it's lay up city. He had a great game against ND but he doesn't have a single rebound tonight! He's played at least 20 min. I know wolf can't play 35 min a game but we have to do something. Teams just walk to the basket and lay it...
I dont think Giffey can stay in front of him. Giff is a great defender, but hes not quick enough for Smith. Bazz got burned all day long by Grant today so hopefully he picks up his d.
Ut ohhh. Mr. Oriakhi is back. I remember you incessantly supporting him last year. Guy is a bum and a joke of a person who has bricks for hands and the most sensitive skin ever. But if that's what you look for in an athlete; to each his own.
I saw that too and was surprised. ND only went 7 deep and as you said only 15 bench min. Before the game Digger said ND was a legit Final Four team. Id say they have as much of a chance at the Final Four as we do.....
Just goes to show how important chemistry and role players are in college hoops. You can have all the "stars" and upside you want (ahem 2010, 2012, couch cough) but if you dont play together and nobody has defined roles it doesnt matter. This team plays hard, plays d, and has guys like Giffey...
Wow. This is really good. KO'd fits perfectly to what KO does to opposing coaches. This should get some legs and maybe even some T-shirts can follow. Great catch phrase willie.
Jack Cooley sets an NCAA record with 47 moving screens and 18 over the back violations yet still managed to stay in the game and not foul out. A stunning achievement.
4 things:
1) OH MY GOD do I miss Kemba Walker!
2) Oh MY GOD do I miss Kemba Walker! man he was so smooth and filthy
3) Jay Bilas saying, "dump it down low to Oriakhi"..gross
4) Reminds me of the MSU game this year. Playing a ranked team. Nobody expecting much from us. And just being on...
