thespleenenator Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Well, the NCAA denied UConn's waiver, so they won't be in next year's tourney.Provided they are within range for the tourny next year because, you know, they may end up having a bad season next year.Next year? They don't deserve to be in this this year.As for Oregon who have they beaten exactly? They read exactly like a good mid-major team that hasn't played anybody.Well, we creamed Washington, and we'v ebeaten Arizona. But other than that, yeah, weve come close, but no cigar. I just have to prey we get at least over 20 wins so we have a chance at the tourney. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams generally don't suspend guys because they missed a meeting or something of that extent. You may get benched for a few extra minutes and have to do extra work in practice but that's about it.You really have to do something bad in order to get a coach to sit you completely, especially during conference play. That's why its almost always something that occurred away from court. They just say "team rules" as a way of keeping what really happened out of the press. We had a guy get suspended on the team I worked for get suspended for "team rules" because police were questioning his role in a robbery, but it was just listed it as violation of team rules in the press release.

Billy B Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 The Bruce Weber termination press conference clock is counting down.And it can't come soon enough. I read a great article a couple weeks ago that made a great case for Bruce's firing. I didn't bring it up then because it was just a day or two after the Michigan State win, but everything has gone back to normal since then. Someone with as good a motion offense as people claim Weber has shouldn't be struggling to score 50 points every game. It's definitely time for someone new to come in and I'd be surprised if that change doesn't come this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raysfan12 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 It's good to back in the top 20 as we came back against a tough West Virginia team on the road. That game is the last time we meet them unless in tourament play. All we need to get back to the top 15 is a signature win against Syracuse tonight. According to many, Syracuse hasn't won a game against UofL since '06 and we've won 6 straight games. If we can out rebound and out shoot them, we could win against them. Also, we have a huge homecourt advantage in the Yum! Center and an excellent coach in Rick Pitino. This would be close, but in the end, Louisville is too much for Syracuse; LOU: 73 SYR: 68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raysfan12 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I founded this out today when I read the article online of the Courier Journal. http://blogs.courier-journal.com/rickbozich/2012/02/16/espn-confirms-louisville-nations-top-tv-market/ Apparently, accordingly noted by ESPN, Louisville is the best college basketball market in the nation with 4.6 points (Nielsen scale). No offense to Durham, Lexington, and Chapel Hill (Home to Duke, UK, and UNC respectively),but we're the king of the TV Market. The reason for this is that we have a large city (More People = More seats filled), the KFC Yum! Center (22,000 strong), and supportive fans. The second best is Greensboro and third is Columbus, Home of the Buckeyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy B Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Well, it's starting to really look like Bruce Weber won't be the coach at Illinois next year. I'm really excited to see who we get because this team has been underperfoming since Dee Brown left. Weber hasn't done a thing with the players he's recruited and has missed out on too many players from Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived there during the stadium location controversy, but am happy to see they got it all figured out and it seems to be doing well so far. It's in a great area of downtown and I hope they're doing their best to leverage into other high-profile sports (like Arena Football or NBA basketball) or other events. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadragon76 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Same for VCU, man. That chaotic defensive style is nuts, I tell ya. Forcing 16 turnovers (UNI usually averages 10 a game) sure helped them.It'll be great to see the rematch next season in Cedar Falls. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for this bunch to continue on.I'm not sure why Meyers Leonard was crying on the bench. He's going to be the only one that comes out of this thing with a positive result. If there was any doubt if Weber would be in Champaign next year before this game, that's all gone. At least Meyers can jump ship and go to the NBA after this. I just can't stand this team, today was just embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
