Eff, sorry Phil, I figured you were safe up 20 at half. Anthony Johnson just took over that game. He outscored Weber 34-25 in the 2nd half by himself.

I talked to my bro today about the Louisville game. We pretty much agreed that Louisville has been horribly inconsistent all season and the line indicated they were vulnerable. He took the points for two bills. Me? Not a damn cent.

The problem for me was Cincinnati's inability to beat anyone above them in the standings. They had no quality wins in conference. Not a one. But they got it done today. They've got the athleticism to get to the final but don't shoot the ball well enough. Lance would be unstoppable if he settled down a little bit and worked harder at getting in shape. But yeah, Louisville lost to Western Carolina, Charlotte, St. John's by 19 and Marquette by 21 but beat Syracuse twice and Syracuse takes nights off. I wouldn't be too keen on Louisville's tournament chances.

Louisville should be a lot better than they are. It is like they have 8 guys with a basketball IQ of 17

ACC tourney starts today. Thankfully the olympics are over, or I'd probably be watching Curling instead. Conference is beyond pitiful this year and I just don't see any team making to the sweet 16 this year.

I dont think that is true. The main reason is that there is a breakdown in the traditional high school/college development years. AAU is a complete cluster **** which has not only further corrupted the recruiting process but lessened the importance of high school coaches. Many of the AAU coaches are strictly hustlers who are looking to make a buck off the players by packaging them to a school or riding their coattails. The residual issue is that the recruiting process that AAU teams use starts early and many of these kids become deluded into thinking that they are better than they already are and they dont work on things that will make them better team players.

That and the fact that the NBA allows players in after 1 year after years of having no age restriction has thinned out the talent at the higher levels. You see the list of guys every year that declare for the draft that either dont get drafted or wind up in the D league or overseas because they thought they were much better players than they really are. Those players would be polished players if they stayed the 4 years. But very few of the better teams have seniors or even many juniors as key players which leads to mistakes via inexperience or the fact that these guys in many examples have just been so much more talented than the competition that they never really learned how to play.

Darrin Horn went into a coma for about 10 minutes. they basically tried to run out the clock up 15 with 12 minutes to go. Then as bama chipped away they didnt force the action and kept using up 30 seconds a possession but getting terrible shots. Terrible job

[ateamstupid]

Nice first half effort by Wake. Aminu is so overrated it's ridiculous.
