If we could make a freaking 3 pointer, this game wouldn't even be remotely close.

I've got 60 seconds before I can switch over.

Gotta admit, I'll be pulling for the old Murray State coach though.

[Rhom]

Alright... Bring on the Bears!

[Rhom]

Ouch... The only way for Nc St to win this is bad shots by KU and then dumb fouls and they just did both.

[RedEyedGhost]

We've been playing not to lose for the past 5:00... ugh.

[Rhom]

The hell is wrong with Taylor lately?

[RedEyedGhost]

Taylor sucks ass at FTs - need to make these two.

[RedEyedGhost]

I think Taylor's been sick, but Self won't ever use that as an excuse.

WOOOOO!!  EJ coming up big again!

[Rhom]

Some big bounces going KU way.

[RedEyedGhost]

The FTs sure won't bounce in though.

[Rhom]

Damn... Free throws are called "free" for a reason

Finish it out Refs!

Fixed that for you.

Kentucky outplayed IU, don't know why the refs felt the need to help them out so much.

[Rhom]

Wow.  They had enough time for a better play than that.

Great first year for Gottfried.  He's always been a really solid recruiter, I think there's good things coming for NC St.  

Kansas v UNC will be a good match up.  They'll still be without Marshall so Taylor needs to come up big there.

IU could return virtually everyone if Zeller comes back.  They are roaring back into the mix.

AAU Calipari has to get a title soon, right?

[awesome possum]

IU should be good for a few years, and with some national attention the recruiting should pick up as well.  Only problem is the Kentucky hurdle:  four of their five starters are also freshmen/juniors, including Davis.  So while IU will get better, so should Kentucky.

It's unfortunate for those players, though, as anything they accomplish with Calipari will likely be wiped out in a few years anyway.

No way we win if we do this again:  1/14 from 3, 11/20 on FTs.

I do like that we've been able to win the past two games while playing like complete shit, but we're not going to advance if we keep it up.

And I do want to congratulate Coach Self for five Elite Eights in nine years.

Consider whom you are playing next; we're without Marshall. Win or lose, it should be a fun game.

Yeah, but at least four of those starters are going league, and while next year's recruiting class is really good it's no where near as good as this year's.

We need to pressure White from the tip, and stay calm on offense.  I'm not real confident about this game based on our recent play, but I'm definitely looking forward to Sunday.

I'm a fan of both of our basketball programs and traditions.
