Fab Melo Out Of NCAA Tournament

[Dann]

i dont understand the grades stuff. how could he possibly play last week in the bet and not this week in the ncaat if it was a grades thing????

 

[mets1090]

Given how late it is in this semester, it can't possibly be a grades thing from last semester. And obviously we're only halfway through this semester so his current grades can't really be the cause. My guess is a failed drug test.

 

[Hangman Swami]

They'll be lucky to get beyond the third round. But I like them to come out snarling in round 1. Easy cover.

 

[M_Funkhauser43!]

When will Melo finally realize that fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life?

 

[champs99and04]

Well if for some reason they get vacated I believe things such as stats would still count for UConn but not Cuse, and our 0-3 would turn into a 0-0.

Nice! Does that mean I get the four hundred bucks back that I paid to go to the game?

 

[4UConn]

Haha this is funny as hell, just made my day. Add in the APR issues for them and they are backing way off their talk about how "dirty" of a program we have.

Absolutely on target....those basta-ds over there were so gleeful in their trashing of uConn's program. Shoe's on the other foot now! I also think the ramifications of all of Syracuse's transgressions may be significant. Does JB retire at the end of season, leaving Syracuse to an uncertain future in the ACC? Maybe.

 

[ASweet3781]

What . The teams in their bracket just totally hit the jackpot.

 

[UChusky916]

My question is... how did this just come up NOW!?

I'm not going to speculate on what it was (grades/drugs), but you would thinkg they had to of known before/during selection Sunday...

Wouldn't surprise me if they withheld the info to keep the #1 seed...

Maybe they just did a drug test in the past 2 days?

Things like having Syracuse going far in the tournament are why you were hanged in the first place.

Weak region. Don't like anybody there to go far.

 

[ZenConn]

a .6 gpa? i could fart on the exam and get a better grade than that.

It's because his Spanish exam wasn't in Portuguese.

I fail to see how that's relevant.

How about OSU, and their, you know, superstar Center?

Jim Boeheim: "I don't anything about his grades. I didn't even know he was going to class here. I can't be everywhere. This team will have to move on without him. Sorry, But I just don't know everything. What's his name again?"

 

[Inyatkin]

FYI, KenPom has UNC-Asheville as the sixth-best 16-seed in history, which means something, I'm sure.

 

[Joobie]

TRIPLE WHAMMY! Sex scandal, drug use, & now an eligibility issue. WOW!

 

[UConn Hoops1]

dougy g now thinks cuse can make it to the f4 if they press

Gottlieb also has us getting beat by Iowa State because we can't defend the three and have no one to match up with Royce White. I have mixed feelings about Gottlieb; but after that comment,which was made in a really dismissive fashion(in fact he seems to take a great deal of satisfaction in dumping on all of the BE programs except Syracuse this post-season), I wanted to grab him by the throat and hand him over to the Judge and a date with the piano wire!

GO HUSKIES!!! BEAT THE CYCLONES!!!

 

[geordi]

About the only thing better would be to have it happen to the Squid and give us a little easier shot. No worries, though. Even if UK goes to the final four, it's got to be vacated...again, and again, and again.

 

[UConn4ever]

All that's left is the UNC Asheville upset

Straight up no holds barred dirty cheating.

 

[61cygni]

duck Cuse

 

[freescooter]

The slime is so thick there it is unbelieveable. I have to think that if Syracuse doesn't go to the Final Four at least, there will be calls for Boeheim to step down or be forced to resign. I mean how much slime can you put up with? and doesn anyone still by the Sgt Shultz thing any more?

Supposedly the news of the failed drug tests is that they were all prior to this year. Though that obviously doesn't preclude Melo lighting up, say, during the BET this year.

I guess he'll take the money, either here or in Brazil, but if not he could transfer to Slippery Rock and room with Cody Endres.

 

[HuskyFan32]

Im kind of mad this happened. We all know they were choking again. Now they have a built in excuse.

You say that as if that means they'll feel better about it. Go read their board. This is hilarious.
