Brian Fowler Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Fuck Sparty. (Fine, the throwbacks are pretty cool. By the main point stands) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Sad news. I know there's a big VCU base here. I've also dubbed VCU as "everyone's second favorite college basketball team." I know they are mine, despite playing in the A-10 with my beloved La Salle Explorers. HAVOC is the most entertaining style of play in a sport that, year by year, has grown more and more uninteresting. It's the only system where kids can actually play basketball as opposed to being overcoached by a bunch of used car salesmen.Briante Weber had an awesome career and was 12 steals away from setting the NCAA record. He blew out his knee yesterday, which ended his fabulous college career. VCU, as always, also had a chance to do some damage in the tournament.Just a sad twist of fate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Michigan clearly take that "play hard for all 40 minutes" cliche a bit too literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw him hold Coach Smart's arm while he was on the floor, I think that's the worst I've felt for an athlete in a really long time. Briante has been the heart and soul for that squad since he got there and that is a really terrible way to end your career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Interesting: The NCAA is going to experiment with a 30-second shot clock and a 4-foot restricted arc during the NIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 La Salle beat VCU in Double OT tonight.Sophomore guard Jordan Price put up 34 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists. He played 48 minutes. Also made 5 3s and 9/10 from the FT line. Absolutely insane stat line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonr4s Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I'm no fan of Kansas, but the WVU player walked on the game winning shot. Just saw it this morning, thus the really, really delayed comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Shulman and Bilas will call the UNC/Duke game tomorrow night for ESPN. If you think this sounds weird, you're not alone- this will be the first time Dick Vitale hasn't called their ESPN matchup since 1979. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 It is weird but Dick being an embarrassing Duke homer would probably say something so stupid that it would be worth not using him. I can picture Vitale saying something like "DEAN SMITH WOULD HAVE WANTED COACH K TO WIN THIS GAME BABY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Roy Williams out coached again at the end of a game he should win. I am disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggulator Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 If you're in the NYC area, or stopping through during college basketball season, you absolutely have to go see a game at Rose Hill Gym at Fordham. I believe it's the oldest basketball gym in the country. I've gone twice. It's an incredible facility. It seats 3,000 but feels like a high school gym, but in the best way possible. The design is super unique and weird. The seats are so close you can hear the players talking to each other and the refs and the like. A+ venue.It's the second best college basketball arena I've ever been to. The first is The Palestra in Philly. There's nothing in the world like a sold-out Big 5 game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Being someone who hates the NCAA and everything they represent, this is fucking awesome. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/02/kingsford-charcoal-ed-obannon-burn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
