Those extra pejoratives cost me.

Withey would push his tonsils through his nose.

can we stop saying the H word...I ****ing hate that guy

Yep, Hansbrough brings so much effort. Pissed me off when he was in college, still pisses me off when I watch him now. But it got him a NBA job.

Your choice of words far exceeded mine.

Exactly. Team at the top should draft Noel and pray.

Hansbrough is much more of a scrapper. Zeller is more talented. He can step out on the floor and handle the ball and shoot from outside. He just has to be tougher inside. His oldest brother had the same problem sometimes.

Ouch. You seen the latest on Robert Swift?

Swift a disaster

He should. I actually think there are a few potentially good players projected after him right now (Smart, Shabazz, Porter).

He's a one who sucks the penis, no doubt.

Crean needs to make a decision: does he want to lose by 10 or risk getting blown out but possibly winning?

Time to start shooting threes off of high screens and stop taking 28 seconds to penetrate the zone.

I think the only white big guy I've liked in college basketball the past 5 years is that big ****ing guy from Kentucky the year Brandon Knight was their PG...he played his ass off, came out of nowhere, and ****ing dominated. I don't feel like looking up his name but I liked him.

**** all of the other white guys.

Dude looks like an obese Carrot Top.

To beat this zone you have to get a playmaker to the free throw line, a big who can finish off a dump down from that playmaker, and shooters on the wing. Surprised they haven't done more with Watford in the middle.

I was having meltdowns the year the Bulls played the Pacers in the playoffs and Hansbrough was on the court and playing pretty well...I thought that ****er was out of my life for good and what do you know...there he was again...making me want to gouge my eyes out.

Indiana didn't even get off the damned bus.

Jorts?

hey by the way

one time, as a Bulls fan, I tried convincing everyone on a message board that Tyrus Thomas was the next Kevin Garnett.

Yep, disappointing. I was looking forward to watching this match-up. Impressive showing from the Cuse.

Shox doing work.

Woooooo-weeee!

LMAO

@BobbyBigWheel "Greg, it's your cousin, Marvin Ostertag! I found that space-wasting white center game that you've been looking for!"

Pollard stayed in the league so ****ing long that I have to imagine that Withey is more than viable, more so than the likes of Aldrich and Robinson.

I figured this to be a no doubter...

Just like I figure OSU over WSU to be a no doubter...

Harrelson. Another St. Louis kid that Mizzou pissed away.

yeah taking those big ****ing white guys like Chris Mihm almost never works out

I wouldn't take Zeller at 30 let alone 3...

I'd rather take my chances on finding someone with actual talent late than taking a guy I know will 9.5 times out of 10 be totally worthless

even Raef LaFrentz blew nutsack until he started jacking 3's...

Well, sure.

But, regardless of competition WSU has been really good ball the past three games.

Was Robinson's games played before exile faster than any top 10 pick in history? Even Billups got a longer leash before Pitino panic-traded him.

Yeah I think I like him more or less because I picked UK and Connecticut in that Final Four and was the only one in the entire field of over 1500 brackets to get two final four teams...

of course when UCONN won I ended up finishing 6th and only making $300 instead of 1st (had Butler won) and $3000.

that was a meltdown city

I'm not looking back in this thread because of laziness, but what was the reaction to Gottlieb? Dude end his career on major networks for the immediate future?

I really need KU to beat OSU in the National Championship and MSU to take care of Duke.

That would be GLORIOUS.

I'd make $$$ if that happened.

It's a ****ing 2-3 zone, not the Iron Curtain. This is pathetic.

what did he do???

What happened? Did he steal Greg Gumbel's credit card?

If not, he'll be one of the white big man bench scrubs for a while. It's a fine living.

Might be a record. But I pretty much figure that's a lock when Chris Webber comparisons are tossed about. That's the NBA kiss of death.

At the beginning of the night... he was sitting on the set with Gumbel, Barkley, Kenny Smith and Greg Anthony... said he was there to be the "white man's perspective" in the studio. It was incredibly awkward. Relatively speaking.

man that is not even that big of a deal

people are so ****ing sensitive

Matt Norlander ‏@MattNorlander 10m
Fairly hilarious. RT @mgoblog: Will Tom Crean scream "you destroyed our program" at Cody Zeller after this one?

LMAO LMAO

Classic dipshit Gottlieb.

You guys didn't see Barkley bash the "morons on Twitter," claiming that he and others on set "weren't offended"?

Gottlieb went with a diversity joke that fell ****ing flat. Said he was there to provide "the white man's perspective." Awkward silence ensues, and Gottlieb ends up apologizing later, apparently.

Harrelson, I believe. He was a scrub on some NBA benches for a while and now he's playing in Puerto Rico.

I mean, yeah...he put his foot in his mouth, no doubt. But he didn't mean any ill will by it, he was trying to be funny I guess...I have a feeling when you're on TV like that it's a lot harder not to say stupid shit than it looks...

people are so sensitive about race...

if there were three white dudes and a black guy and the black guy was like "I'm just telling your from a brother's point-of-view" no one would probably notice.

Yeah, they called him Jorts.

Wouldn't have been a problem on the TNT late night basketball show the way they throw around jokes, but not on CBS.

Shit.

of course I'm not the guy to talk to about race since I just don't care so maybe I just don't get offended

I just realize that white people still look at black people like they are black people just like black people still look at white people like they are white people

it is what it is

Could Indiana have less urgency here?

If he would have said "the Jewish perspective" he would have been in the clear. No bullshit.

Hard to believe that would be considered more awkward than 50% of what comes out of Barkley's mouth.

I think what made it worse is that it fell completely flat. Everyone just kind of awkwardly sat there like "Uh..." Greg Gumbel jokingly acted like he was going to walk off the desk to get away from him.

SVP and Rusillo were on a ****ing roll about 2:40 today.

Someone asked them which of the remaining mascots would win in a deathmatch, and while going through the list they stopped with Indiana and SVP said,

"A Hoosier is just a guy from Indiana right? Or a guy tweaked out on meth. Not that all Hoosier fans are tweaked out on meth..."

I almost sprained my diaphragm from laughing.

Oh, look -- a B1G team scoring under 50 points.

I was wrong. Indiana's offense has been a complete mess the entire night. They clearly weren't prepared for the zone at all and they haven't been able to get any fast break points. It doesn't help that they're not stopping Syracuse's penetration at all either. Little defense.

Ernie Johnson is the blackest nerdy white guy I know

He quietly said "point guard" to trying to deflect the situation. He knew he was ****ed from the jump.

Now they gone stone cold...

Yeah, but Indiana is a fast-paced transition team. They aren't a typical Big 10 team at all. They can run it up and down and shoot 3's with anyone in the country. These half court games kill them. That's why Syracuse was a terrible matchup for them.

For the life of me I'll never understand why teams struggle so much with Syracuse's zone. It's the second-most basic of defenses

Just stirring the pot, sir.

Baker's shot is so smooth.

Well, that's bloody embarrassing.

Those two are great...I liked the frozen yogurt segment too

Man, Michigan is going to end up having the last laugh, I guess.

TRob was being compared to Chris Webber? By who? LMAO

Oh, never mind, they scored 50.

Solid.

With the pilled up kid mining for Swedish Fish?

ROFL

Yes, it's a poor site, but the jinx is powerful enough to transcend stupidity:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...a-draft/page/3

Yep, he just goes with the race jokes whenever they happen. Makes for great, funny TV.

The defenders have a long wing span.

Looks like somebody didn't watch those two play in college. They're nothing alike.

It's the other way around for me.

I know, but it doesn't make the set impregnable. Indiana was playing right into the zone's strength all night. They were trying to get layups at the hole, which is just too damned difficult. They had the shooters and athletes to collapse it with penetration and kick out, but didn't.

Is La Salle going to make this game worth watching? Would be nice, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Awful. LMAO

Indiana's guards were just too small and not able to keep up with Syracuse on the perimeter. Their two starting guards were both held scoreless. I'd wonder the last time that's happened to anyone.

Nope. I've been doing the same thing for twenty minutes. Go watch anal porn or something. Guaranteed to be more enjoyable.

Yeah, this is gonna be a laugher.

They should have just let Oladipo play the slash and kick game.

Yeaaah...you're probably right. WSU's got this.

WSU doing in both halves what KSU was only able to do for one.

Watching Oregon play with hustle and heart, I understand why Jabari Brown wanted to transfer after two games.
