They didn't really come back against Carolina. In fact UNC was down about 7 or 8 at two different times and came back. Game was tied at 47 at the half and UNC only scored 20 points the entire 2nd half. UNC may have been a few points late in 2nd half, not sure, but hardly a comeback. Kansas was...
I don't know about 25 points but I feel the same way.
If Kentucky plays good at all, this game should look like an average NBA team beating up against an average NCAA team.
Kansas should have lost to Purdue. Purdue absolutely blew it. NC State came oh so close. Carolina came close with...
I kind of hope they do press a lot. White doesn't seem to have a lot of trouble handling the ball and getting it up court. He's just nowhere near the playmaker that Marshall is.....but few are.
Wise.......I'm surprised Syracuse has gotten this far without him. It completely changed how I filled out my brackets and I've got 3 of 4 Final 4 teams left. Would have definitely picked Syracuse but when Melo was out, I went with Florida State based on their "Tenacious D" and yes, they...
ppabart....I do agree to playing inside-out, I guess what I mean is that over the years, even with Dean, we've never taken advantage of the short 3-pointer like other teams have.
I don't mean that we just start jacking 3's....which is basically what Duke did all year combined with crashing the...
I agree with everything said.
I know Marshall is irreplaceable but it is very frustrating to watch all this talent just look lost against a 13-seed team in Ohio.
I think we need to start doing what so many others have and shoot way more 3-pointers. I think Carolina needs to start realizing...
I usually wear a t-shirt underneath, like others are saying. I guess its mostly for the "layered" look and sort of offsets the color of the polo. I usually wear a white one but not always and every once in awhile I'll need to take the polo off and its nice to have the tee on.
I've never...
5'11 white guy here and no, never dunked. I played a lot of pickup ball up until age 30 or so and I always wanted to be able to dunk.
I even had a pair of the strength shoes, they helped me with speed but not too much with jumping. I could do more than just touch the rim but couldn't...
Kansas/NCSU was UGLY and that is an understatement. I wanted NCSU but to be honest not sure who we match up better against. At this point, yeah, just happy to be in Elite 8 and let's play the hand we got.
I do wonder if Marshall doesn't at least dress on Saturday. I keep hearing Kenny Smith...
had them all the way....i guess, great game by Ohio, we looked really bad in a lot of ways. Elite 8 though, can't ask for too much more. White played good, short leash, Bullock stepped up big time.
Sir Charles knows what he's talking about. Not sure how it left you baffled. It means just b/c you are a track star doesn't mean you know how to play basketball.
And vice versa. See Larry Bird. See also Magic Johnson.
They were a weird team and I bought into them, mostly b/c their defense is pretty nasty and consistent and they have so much experience on the floor with 6 seniors...
It is unreal what Dulkies did in 2 games against Carolina. Or should I say, unreal how he basically sucked in every other game...
haha, ask any questions you like Mr. Poon
As for rivalries......I've been a Carolina fan my whole life so that makes 30+ years. I guess we are all different, but I never minded NC State much. To be honest, never minded Duke much for a long time...
Early 90's I got where I didn't like Duke too...
I actually favor Watts, but not by much. I like White but his size worries me every time he's out there. I guess its that and his inexperience. I could see them splitting 50/50 but starting Watts due to his experience.
I guess we'll find out. We are still alive and have a low seed on Friday.
3 starters injured. Incredible. I guess we go point guard by committee and see what happens.
Winnable games to Final 4 is someone can knock off Kansas. I doubt we can win it all w/o him but one game at a time. Favorable matchup this Friday anyway...
