Mr Sun Tzu,
"Okie State has 2 national titles and 2 final fours in last 10 years, is higher ranked and favored, and the fans rush the floor?"
Did you not watch that game? It was one of the greatest regular season college basketball games ever. Even the LOSING coach Rick Barnes was smiling after the LOSS. Maybe they rushed the floor because they were enthralled at such a great game. Those same fans are the ones that have made Gallagher-Iba arena one of the top 2 or 3 arenas in the country.
"They don't have a choice. That arena is such dogshit if anybody stands up the center court camera is blocked"
You obviously have not attended an OSU home game in the last 6 years. The facilities are TOP NOTCH and far from "dogshit". However, the arena is NOT conducive to televised games due to the sharp angle which the stands rise from the floor and the close proximity of the stands to the court. It has been this way forever. It is a sacrifice the rabid OSU fans will make to have one of the premier environments in college basketball. "Don't knock it to you try it."
Dear Saint,
"It's too bad curry got busted w/ that bag o' weed back in the day....carolina could use that outside shooting. I guess OSU must be enjoying the sloppy seconds."
"Sloppy seconds Curry" is averaging 18.0 ppg and shooting 42% from beyond the arc. UNC has one player who averages more points than "Sloppy seconds Curry" and that is their ALL-WORLD center Tyler Hansbrough and he is averaging a whopping 18.6 ppg. UNC has NOT ONE PLAYER that shoots 42% from 3-pt land. I can assure you that Roy Williams would KILL for "Sloppy seconds Curry" right now.
With all that said OSU is overrated right now and will be no threat in the tourney this year. They do not have the inside presence to be a real threat. But anyway GO POKES!!!!
