Oh, and I did say a couple weeks ago that Nebraska is a tough team, particularly at home. Their huge center (Almeida?) had probably a 100 lb advantage on Tristan Thompson (and Matt Hill) and we paid for it. He played extremely physically and went 5/5 from the field. He was the difference in the game.
Not gonna lie, I laughed when Nebraska stormed the court. Reminded me of the gap between our programs
Heh thanks, but we just aren't getting the breaks this year. The Philippines were badass though. Saw some sweet sights, met some awesome ppl and even had a couple scary moments. Overall it was such a good time and I even saw where the "thrilla" occurredOriginally Posted by Telionis

How bout Colorado?... everyone's getting lazy waiting for the tourney to begin... yawn... CMON lets start..
Not sure lazy is the correct way to describe that. They blew a 22 point lead and you could literally see each player choke. It felt so much like last year it wasn't even funny. Our top scorer is hesitant as hell now, we abandoned our game plan on offense and spent the entire 2nd half playing 1 man offense, and our defensive intensity was non-existent. So basically, we quit moving on offense and we looked slow on defense... Perhaps there's some merit to the "elevation" excuse that the talking heads have been using... But I was extremely disappointed with our play. After the Nebraska game and this game, in my eyes, this Texas team went from a seemingly sure final 4 birth to potentially getting upset in the 1st weekend.
Fuck!
Had the pleasure of watching the BYU vs SDSU game... Jimmer looked pretty awesome at times, but the guy is kind of an ass hole with the ball. Who jacks up a shot from mid-court 10 seconds into the shot clock? Of course he missed it and it led to an easy bucket at the other end. He just forced so much, and while he hit a bunch of shots (particularly during a stretch in the 1st half) that made you go "WOW", the only reason you said "WOW" was because they went in. If you miss those shots, they're just head-scratchers. If it weren't for his team mates (3 of them by my count) being lights-out from 3, I'm not sure BYU wins that.
SDSU looks like a team that prefers ugly games near the bucket. It was like watching people with contrasting styles play NBA JAM -- one guy chucks up 3's the whole game and the other guy dunks the whole game.
Nobody offers congrats for my unranked and underachieving Hokies toppling Duke while we hosted ESPN's gameday broadcast?
I was so sure we'd blow it, I kept switching away. When I saw we had a 3 point lead with 22 seconds I figured we had an even chance of winning.

Pitt chokes also...
It sure didn't. We can't seem to put together two halves of basketball. So frustrating to watch.
Great win by VT, love to see Duke get beat.
Team to watch...St. Johns, these kids are playing like a top 15 team. Really turning it on.

Texas is done. They might beat some pile of shit in the 1st round (as a 3 seed), but they're not getting past anyone with a pulse at this point.
I see them losing Saturday @ Waco and then maybe getting 1 win in the B12 tourney. Going into the Dance having lost 4 of 6, this feels familiar!
Jordan Hamilton has regressed to 2010 style play and the team has followed suit. Just laughable. Please, go to the NBA and take this gut wrenching feeling with you. Tristan Thompson is still amazing. He was the only reason we were even in the game tonight. He should be freshman of the year.
