Texas and Duke

[caw]

Sellers was just trying to get up & Laettner placed his own head between Rod's hand & the floor. Just an honest mistake on Laettner's part.

Or a nefarious one by Laettner.

yep… trying to draw a cheap foul, no doubt (Dukey flop)...

IMO I don't believe you really believe my post was that diffcicult to comprehend. ANd if it was- then don't take offense to this- you should have no clue telling me "I'm overreacting" if youcan't comprehend what I'm saying. So which is it? Anyways, don't take offense to this- but your post reminds me of politicians that uses words and feign surprise when the comments are the words they use are used against them. It wasn't YOU that made the 1st comment - but your defendnng the 1st post pretedending things aren;t there - I don't buy for a second. Like a politician he or she didn't make the "pt differential comment" and the Boat comment by accident. We can agree to disagree. Just because it doesnt bother you doesn't mean it can't annoy or make me laugh a little. In this case more laugh. He or she could be right - we could get blown out so the OP suggestion of playing later could be the right course. - But we could win too.

Incidentally, did you read his 1st post? Let me copy portions of teh OP's 1st post:

Texas winning games by 35 and Duke by 50

You can't understand that this is "pt differential?"

And what he says here:

and unless Boat goes off we may have lost to Bryant

You mean you can't understand what the below statement means in reply to "and unless Boat goes off we may have lost to Bryant"

and then state we were fortunate to win because our best player - among the best guards in the country-- went off vs Bryant

Good lord you need an editor with the quickness. Honestly, I've never seen someone say absolutely nothing and take so long to say it.

I am well aware what the term "point differential" means but I still have absolutely no idea what you're objecting to and I'm not really sure you do either.

UConn was much, much closer to losing to Bryant than Duke or Texas was to losing their games. It's not illegitimate to say that without a big game from Boatright they lose that game. That seems to be what you're going crazy about but I'm not sure why (and, again, I'm not sure you know either.)

You can save yourself another multi-paragraph response that says nothing because I won't read it.

Texas winning games by 35 and Duke by 50 and unless Boat goes off we may have lost to Bryant. We had to take these games when they were available but I would have preferred to see one in Jan and one in Feb. KO has his work cut out.

Hate to break it to you but that means absolutely nothing!

All you're doing here is babbling with nonsense. First you don't understand what point differential menas then you do. Translation from your posts: "I don't want to hear anything other than the nonsense I spout."

Your prior comments of "UCONN will have their work cut for them" and "They won by less from Bryant than Texas or Duke" is so enlightening and your point of "point differential" means so much - it' such a joy to read such insightful analysis. I'm on the edge of my seat for such astute commentary.

Hey here is one for you - The 91-92 Bulls going into the playoffs the main storyline leading into the playoffs was "They really have their work cut for them." And secondly when they beat the Knicks in 7, we can read such great insight from people like you that would say "that "The Bulls were fortunate to beat the Knciks in 7 and win the title- they needed Jordan to bail them out. "

Please continue with your astute observations. I eagerly await such keen observations in the future.

I'm crushed I'll miss your insight going foward. UCONN is going to play a top ten team and "our work is really cut out for us."

Thank you!

I wonder if they'll throw a zone at us.

Coack K is like Calhoun doesnt like going zone and with their team this year they wont go zone. Rebounding will be key in both games.

Yep, Texas and Duke looked good. I'm excited we get a shot at them early. We'll learn a lot about our bigs' ability to step it up. It should be interesting to see.

Syracuse, on the other hand, will probably look good through January. We will once again have to just accept and be patient about that.
