Just noticed something regarding scUM hoops

[Jaxbuck]

I obviously never look at their schedule very closely but I saw they have to play Uconn tomm (2/7/09) at Uconn. Yikes.

:groove3:

Have fun with that.

Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else takes great pleasure in watching them suffer no matter what the sport.

An ape-raping of rain-forrest proportions.

My only wish is that UConn gives scUM their full undivided attention. That's it. Just play as hard as they can, the rest will take care of itself (and any particularly sharp elbowed Huskie that wants to activate Novak's dental plan has my permission.)

I'm going to be completely honest here and disclose my rooting intersts for UM tommorrow.

It'd be amazing for the conference.

And tOSU can lay claim to beating UM twice, whom beat both Duke and UCONN in the event they pull something crazy out of their ass like beating Duke.....

Me, I'll stick to rooting for a 20+ point ass beating and Nodick spitting teeth like chicklets.

UCONN 94

scUM 38

Or so....

Is that the football score??

billmac, you have posted your usual thoughtful, cogent commentary. Very rational view, and a UM win would help cement the Buckeyes' NCAA tourney hopes.








On the other hand, fuck Michigan.

You think scUM would score 38 on UCONN in football?



Maybe if the game lasted 8 quarters and UCONN didn't put a defense out for 4 of them

 

[keeganbrick]

For some reason I see this game being kind of close. I think UCONN is going to overlook them and Michigan is due for a good game behind the arc. Sims (If he shows up) is also a player that could give Thabeet a little trouble since he can play away from the basket. We'll see how Mich guards can handle the press, which is another issue they have to deal with. Excited to watch this game before ours though.

Buzz kill. :tongue2:

You are probably right, I don't follow CBB all that close. I just saw scUM on the road at #1 UConn and assumed we'd see an ass raping.

I'm 85% certain you will see an ass-raping.

I'm still scratching my head at how UM was able to navigate the Duke ball pressure. I guess it helps when Duke opens the game 1-14 behind the arc.

But I think UM is in a lot of trouble.

But a win for UM cements a spot for the Bucks, IMO. Even in the event of a brutal close.

Do you expect us to resort--no, lowering ourselves--to rooting for Michigan just so we can claim that we twice beat a team that happened to beat Duke and UConn in the same season? Fuck that.

We'll cement NCAA hopes by just taking care of our own business.

I did see your "fuck Michigan" footnote, but your inital paragraph still needed addressing...

Looked it up and Vegas is with you. The line is UConn-17.

UM's defensive strength is preventing opponents from lighting them up from beyond the arc ... while that was great against Duke, that's not going to help much against UConn.

I can see the UM offense doing reasonably well in this game with the backdoor cuts ... the UM defense will struggle mightily, though.
