Official College Basketball Thread

[YanksHater213]

Yeah... I thought this should be made, well, becaus college basketball owns so much, and its quickly becoming one of my favorite sports to watch.

 

Villanova (4)is playing Oklahoma (5) today. This has been a pretty good game so far - tied at 35 at the half. Villanova is a team that intrigues me, mostly because of the fact that they use a 4 guard starting lineup.

 

Kentucky (10) lost to UNC today too... shocking. Especially since Rajon Rondo shot friggin 9-11 from the floor.

 

Cant wait till BC starts playing some ACC teams. Im really looking forward to the coming weeks as theyll play MSU and Maryland, both very good teams.

[Manny Goes Boom]

Yeah I was thinking about making this thread, it's overdue.

 

ACC play should be good this year. Duke vs. Texas next weekend should be a dandy. Go Devils!

[See Red]

That was a hell of a game between Villanova and Oklahoma, last night. I wish Villanova wasn't a Big East team, as I'm a UConn fan, so I didn't have to feel bad about cheering for 'em because I love watching them play. That said, UConn is still taking the Big East... and the National Championship.

I see the 'Cuse winning, they are a good team, UNC doesn't have a chance without May, McCants, Williams and Felton. Felton played for them right? I had a huge brain fart about an hour ago and I can't remember if he played for UNC anyway, without those dudes, I think Syracuse or Illinois.

Yes Felton was a Tar-Heel. You're right, they aren't the same team as last year. Illinois is good but the loss of Deron Williams will be hard to overcome. Its going to be a great season though.

Syracuse has already lost to Bucknell and Florida, McNamara hasn't looked like his normal self. I don't think they're the same without Warrick.

Macnamara is a very one dimensional player. He's a garbage catch and shoot, I'm only gonna make it if I'm wide open, player ... he's Steve Kerr.

 

LETS GO DUKE LETS GO DUKE!

[yankeessuck013]

Last night McNamara dished out 10 assists, so if hes not scoring thats not all bad. Demetris Nichols (Boston Native) shot 50% from 3 point range last night and he is our 3 point threat now, along with Diaper Dandy Eric Devendorf who had 19 points last night also, played for Oak Hill last year.

 

Looking at their losses, florida is now ranked #11, obviously that is not a bad loss. And last year Bucknell beat #7 Pitt @ Pitt, and #10 Kansas in the Tourney, and they returned all of their starters. Also 'Cuse killed Texas Tech at MSG. By the time January Rolls around, Hall of Fame Coach, Jim Boeheim, will have these guys ready to play and compete night in and night out.

Washington plays Gonzaga tonight, both top 25 teams. Thats gonna be a great game as well. I want Gonzaga to lose, even though I kinda like them, just so BC can improve theyre ranking.

[YanksHater213]

Did anyone see the Duke/VT game? Holy s***. I didnt see it, but I heard things. Dockery hit a shot from halfcourt to win the game as time expired.

Just saw that on Sportscenter, WOW that was freakin awesome

[Fenways Faithful]

i was watching that game it was an amazing ending. showing that duke still is the best. v tech fans were making fun of the cameron crazies but that shot shut them right up. GO DUKE

[Manny Goes Boom]

And Duke still reigns. Redick haters can hate all they want...I assume that was a picture taken in Maryland. They are a disgrace, with "f*** Duke" on their shirts. OH well Redick will continue to own the ACC and waltz right in the NBA draft and laugh alll the way to the bank and to a professional career in something those two guys could only wish they could play 1/100000000th as good as JJ. Lets go Duke!

Hey MC,

We'll see how funny it is in March.

 

Everyone makes jokes about JJ but he's hands down the best player in the nation.

Yeah I watched the whole game. Great game for Va Tech. It's not going to be as easy without Demarcus.

Bingo. Let them joke...last I checked, Duke is undefeated.

[yeszir]

Vanderbilt's undefeated too.

[Manny Goes Boom]

Vanderbilt's undefeated too.

 

I didn't know that. Cool. Cheers for the undefeateds :thumbsup:

[See Red]

And Duke still reigns...

 

Until Marcus Williams comes back for UConn. Then, the best team in the country will reside in Storrs, CT.

[BoSox84]

Alot of Dukies in here, good to know.

ROTFLMAO!!!! Are you serious, I doubt Duke can win anything, we'll see though. I don't think they'll make the final four. But then again it IS Duke. I like Syracuse or Illinois, otherwise I also like UConn and Duke is so so. They're good, but I just don't really like them. I don't mean they wont win anything, I mean they wont make it to the final four. I know I'll probably get tons of s*** because they probably will, but I don't like Duke at all.

[YanksHater213]

Honestly, JJ is the best shooter. But I dont know if hes the best player. I think that would have to go to Adam Morrison.

[JimBrown32]

Word, he is definetly the best shooter, but not the best player.

[See Red]

What pisses me off is that all but one of Duke's games have been televised this year. I turn on the TV and see Duke vs. Davidson? Who the f*** cares about that game? They haven't looked very impressive to me. A lot of these bad teams have hung around with them at Cameron Indoor. I hope they get UConn in the Final Four... I'd love to see Rudy Gay throw it down over Sheldon Williams ugly ass.

[MC Hammer]

Word, he is definetly the best shooter, but not the best player.

Thats the huge misconception about him. He's not a 1 dimensional player like McNamera. He scores every way possible, plays good defense, and is the leader of this team. Adam Morrison has put up some big numbers but name 1 other player on Gonzaga. JJ could score 60 if there wasn't anyone on the team to pass to. Morrison is a good player but the lack of talent around him makes him waaaaaaay overrated. It's easy to be a super star with no one else on your team.

[YanksHater213]

What pisses me off even more, is how BC, f***ing 8th best team in the NCAA, and going to move up even more with Gonzaga AND Oklahoma losing this week, has yet to have a single game on TV. No, none, zero. Not even the final in the tournament against Oklahoma State. These guys are so good, yet they get no credit or respect from anyone. Theyre first game is on TV tomorrow, theyre facing MSU on ESPN...

Umm... lack of talent on Gonzaga? Please. JP Batista. Derek Ravio, and Freshman Jeremy Pargo (brother of Jannero) is going to turn into a solid player soon as well. Please dont make terrible statements like that anymore. You cant have 1 good player and be ranked as highly as them.

Adam may have teamates but does he have another first team All American on the court with him demanding the ball? 2 other solid senior starters? The highest rated Freshman coming in this year? The 2nd best freshman coming in this year? I'm not saying that Gonzaga doesn't have any talent, but the level of talent at Gonzaga is no where near the level of Duke, so naturally there are less people to get the ball too, and more points for Adam.

 

I'm not trying to put the guy down as I think he's the 2nd best player in the country, but I just don't think he's as good as JJ.

[YanksHater213]

OK, I see what your saying. I thought you were trashing Gonzaga...
