He collapsed the zone with his dribble drawing 3 defenders and passed to an open man. To Marquette's credit they closed out on the shooter quickly. As I said on the second he could have make a move on his own but saw a great shooter open and got him a shot at the win. It's not like you can snap a finger and get a good shot off against a solid team in a final possession against a zone with the clock winding down. I mean the kid carried LSU for 40 minutes including the go-ahead hoop late.They were down 1 why the fuck would you try to take multiple 3's? Twice he has the ball in/near the paint and kicks it out both times.
Put up a shot.
UCLA absolutely dominated that game last night. Once they build the lead they never let it get back within 8 points.So UCLA took down #1 Kentucky last night, which isn't all that shocking in and of itself. However, when you remember that UK was up 41-7 at halftime of last year's game, it is pretty remarkable. UCLA scored 9 points in the first 3 minutes last night. Quite the turnaround.
That game was astounding considering the fact that UCLA lost to Monmouth last week.UCLA absolutely dominated that game last night. Once they build the lead they never let it get back within 8 points.
I know they beat Duke, but I'm not really impressed with Kentucky so far - UCLA simply packed everybody inside to cut down their dribble-drive offense and forced them to make jumpshots, and until Murray got hot late they simply couldn't make shots.So UCLA took down #1 Kentucky last night, which isn't all that shocking in and of itself.

So my parents went out to Chicago for the Kentucky game a couple weeks back. Night before the game, they end up a table away from Calipari at a restaurant (they were with a couple friends who were Kentucky fans). As Cal got up from his dinner, he saw my mom and dad decked out in Duke stuff and came very to chat with them for a few minutes. Joked about how inexperienced his team was, wondered what he would get from them, and wished my parents a great trip and hoped they would get to see a great game.Fuck Calipari.
That is all.
The NCAA got word people were having fun on their watch:Also, google videos of the Monmouth bench if you haven't seen them already. Funny stuff.
He's struggling big time. Not a good sign for Skal.Skal LaBissiere does not impress me. Like, at all.
Ah the old glory days of Ricky Byrdsong and Geno Carlisle!I had to stop by and post this here - Northeastern is hosting Michigan State on national television on Saturday. First time Matthews Arena has sold out since 1995-1996 (I believe it was when Duke came to town) and the second time ever NU is playing the #1 team in the nation. I can't fucking wait.
Ok I confess I got message boards confused. On the private Stuck board (now CelticsNuts) years ago there was a Northwestern grad and we purposely confused them with Northeastern for years, it was a running joke......and I am the one who was confused this time. Carry on.Ah the old glory days of Ricky Byrdsong and Geno Carlisle!
RarelyWhat has Duke ever done with a 3 or a 4 seed in the tourney? How many times has Coach K done it the hard way to advance to a Final Four?
Right, just like two years ago when you had them going to the NIT and Calipari getting fired. Do you have to post your wishcasting every season?Kentucky stinks. Looks like their NIT team.
What have the Pats ever done with a 3 or 4 seed in the tourney? How many times has BB done it the hard way to advance to a Super Bowl?What has Duke ever done with a 3 or a 4 seed in the tourney? How many times has Coach K done it the hard way to advance to a Final Four?
