ttun basketball (Juwan out, Dusty May in)

[HOLYBUCKEYE10]

Because Bucky finished higher in the standings than Iowa.

Reward the better win rather than punishing the worse loss.

Well that's dumb. I guess that just goes to show how stupid the B10 is, OSU is .500 vs Wisky playing twice, scUM 100 playing once.

WE are 100 playing Iowa once, they are .000 playing then once. Guess that would make too much since going by a game that we both played an equal number of times... haha

Oh well really doesn't matter, I guess it's just annoying that scUM needed to watch and hope OSU helped them win the B10 while we actually controlled our own destiny for it.

Make NO Freakin' Mistake - This Game Was OVER in OT last night

Good &&%$# ^%#@@.

The guys broadcasting this game know enough bkb to know that our kids have NO legs.

That's why we can't make a shot.

This game - no doubt - is about where we are and where we are not.

But good Lord, do your freaking jobs and mention that our kids, unfortunately (and I knew it at the time), had to give every last ounce of energy to squeak by Minnesota.

Btw, I'd take Trey Burke 100 out 100 TIMES VERSUS CRAFT.

And anyone who doesn't realize that one of the big stories of this game is Burke being exhausted is FLAT OUT STUPID.

I don't know how you call this game and don't mention it once.

I said it was going to happen last night, I said it before the game, and it's no surprise.

It's too bad, but it is what it is.

You know what is even more pathetic than this cowardice? The fact that most of the group thinkers on GBW not only agree with him, but consider him to be the best bball poster on their board for posts like these.

What happens when someone dares to call him on his lies?

So five extra minutes of play means UM is burned out but OSU isn't? The only reason we're burned out and have no legs is because we played like dog **** against Minnesota and had to fight with every ounce of energy for the whole game. OSU, on the other hand, destroyed their first opponent and got to rest their guys.

They are a flat out better team in every conceivable way. UM has to play essentially a perfect game AND hope for foul trouble to compete against OSU/MSU. They are taller, faster, more athletic, play better defense and shoot better. As another poster mentioned, you don't lose by 27 (or whatever it was) because of dead legs. And if you have dead legs, why doesn't the other team?

The part in bold? Is correct.

Lemme explain something I explained in chat:

1) Our entire offense, unfortunately, runs off of Trey

2) Trey didn't just play 45 minutes last night

3) Trey played 45 minutes where every possession, he has to bring the ball up, race to the top of the key to get the ball, and then ALSO make something happen

4) Trey doesn't just do that, but last night, with the exception of Timmy, he had to pull an entire team that didn't show out of the ringer - for FORTY FULL MINUTES until he got a little help, but still he had to drag the team across the finish line

The teams that can win the BTT have the horsies. We'll have them next year, but a conference tourney is a very specific beast. Not even the NCAAs are night after night back to back.

If you only have so many guys you count on, those guys are going to be dragging, esp. if in a game you have to go life and death. We didn't just go life and death vs. Minny. We went zombie warmed over, back from the dead against them.

The play last night? Was not really excusable and I was ticked. But the play today? Was completely expect, and I posted that in Sam's thread pregame.

So you admit the team played like garbage against an awful opponent, but surely it was the fatigue from sucking that made you suck today, not the fact that you sucked royally.

Yeah, and Craft ONLY played 38 minutes of hard-nosed on-the-ball defense the LATE night before.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

And the fact that Craft, Buford, and Thomas played 35+ minutes last night means nothing. And that they play 35+ minutes almost every game means nothing. Poor conditioning is no excuse, you pussies.

 

[Jake]

77-55

 

[Oh8ch]

Let's see if I can find any flaw in that logic. Any flaw at all.

Hmmmm.

I'm thinking. I'm thinking.

Oh yeah.

Cincinnati played double OT against Georgetown.

The next night they beat Syracuse.

Against Georgetown their starters averaged 44 minutes each. Then had the legs to hit 45% of their threes against the Cuse.


BTW - has anybody pointed out that only ONE of UM's Big Ten losses was by less than 10 points?

Perhaps the most overrated team in the country.

 

[NFBuck]

They were tired!

 

[colobuck79]

Here you go.

 

[buckeyescott11]

GPA?

 

[buckeyesin07]

Pretender, exposed, etc.

Clearly, scUM's team is not in the same ballpark as the other two Big Ten champs.

That team is a joke. They had no chance as soon as the Big Ten offices decided the game wouldn't be played in Ann Arbor. We're talking about a team that lost to Arkansas. I'm still waiting for them to beat a decent team on the road or on a neutral court.

Prolly have to wait until next year.....or after.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Bwahahaha, I just watched the 2010 buzzer beater game and lost it again when Matta goes apeshit after Turner's make. I wish I could see what he was saying and who it was to but he was giving michigan hell after that shot! Just brilliant stuff!!

So, what is this? The "My dog ate my basketball team" defense?

"The guys broadcasting this game know enough bkb to know that our kids have NO legs."

No legs.. yes.. but what I told "the guys broadcasting" wasn't that they had no legs. I said they have no dicks.


Carpet Bombing for points makes Belien a better coach than Matta. When in doubt, chuck up a 3.
