    Cuse bar/viewing party in Boston?

    All I know is don't go the The Greatest Bar over by The Garden. Nice place, but when I walked in there to watch the NCAA game against VT, the place was packed with a UVM alumni party. Well, I stayed thinking I'd have a little fun, wearing my orange Cuse hat and all. Not so much. Bad karma, stay...

    We outrebounded them, we hit 10/19 on threes,

    Just par for the course, someone always has a career game against us. The most frustrating part is listening to the announcers say "so and so is having a career day!".

    Quick Health Update

    We don't know each other, but from all I have read, you seem like a great guy. I wish I could do half the stuff you do! My thoughts are with you as you get stronger each day. You'll be back on the golf course, having fun with friends and family REAL SOON!!

    We've gotten some favorable 1st round matchups

    You still have to win the game. There are a lot of 12/13/14 seeds this year causing problems for the favored team. Just b/c we won yesterday, it's can't all be about "we got a favorable draw". We took care of business yesterday plain and simple (and it felt good to watch finally).

    Pitt taking UNC to Woodshed

    Pitt's performance today is really no surprise. They typically are a real good team in the conference tournament. It's the other tournament that they are typically not so good.

    OT: where do you live?

    I ski a lot at Stowe...I'm jealous that I won't able to get there this weekend. Enjoy!

    Great evening until I got arrested ...

    That's hilarious. It made me think of the scene in Trains, Planes and Automobiles. I have no idea how to link the video, maybe this will work.

    Is virginia ready for this?

    Don't get me wrong, I'm confident in us getting the W. Maybe questioning if we'll be ready is not what I meant. I suppose I'm wondering if we'll execute better. The offensive production the past few games along with JG's back injury is a bit unsettling. I'm stating the obvious here, but TC...

    Is virginia ready for this?

    Don't kid yourself, they're ready. I'm more interested to see if we'll be ready.

    Big Monday

    Outside of the game last night, I picked up on two observations. First, the Big Monday broadcast crew isn't the same without Raf. Bilas tries to make up for Raf's humor, but it isn't the same. Don't get me wrong, McDonough and Bilas are good, they're just better with the addition of Raf...

    Jeff Goodman on SVP and Russillo just now

    I haven't been that impressed with Jeff Goodman's analysis since he joined ESPN. Maybe b/c I'm used to reading his print stuff, but now at ESPN he has more of a presence a la Andy Katz with the microphone, and I don't find him all that engaging. That said, he's off the mark if he feels Tyler...

    Duke game attendance?

    ah yes, I see the error in my ways now
  16. FreeFries100

    Duke game attendance?

    One game at a time Doc. That is what I care about. Let's get W's over the next 3 games, and then yes, when the time comes I will care about the Duke attendance.
  17. FreeFries100

    Duke game attendance?

    I'm sorry, I mean no disrespect, but I could care less at this point. Just like last week when I was watching the UNC game, the announcers spent too much time talking about the Duke game, showing Beat Duke t-shirts, etc. when the only thing that should have been being discussed was the game and...

    How can anyone listen to Bill Walton

    Ya, that was classic. Don't forget as Walton says "nothing but net", Dave Pasch follows up and says, "well...after it hit the backboard, then it hit the net Bill.".

    I'm confused...ACC Network

    OK, I guess I just don't get it. What exactly is the ACC Network? My understanding is that in the current state it is a bunch of affiliate stations that carry various ACC member games. But if that is all it is, is that really a network? Using the Big Ten network as en example, I have Verizon...

    The Downside

    Indeed. I caught myself talking the TV telling him to shoot it. First off, he's a good scorer, second, even if he misses, the defense still has to adjust to him which opens other things up.

    Louisville can't join the ACC fast enough...

    The Downside

    I'll add another bullet to your downside list: another scoring drought of over 5min to end the first half. I hope this isn't a pattern going forward.

    ACC Network

    I wasn't drinking this afternoon. I swear it wasn't there several times. I remember having to look at the shot clock above the backboard when I got the right camera angle. Oh well. The game was so bad I'm not going to watch the replay, moving on...

    ACC Network

    Did anyone else notice that they neglected to include the shot clock along side the score and game clock throughout the entire broadcast. It wasn't until about 2 or 3 minutes left in the game did they put the shot clock up on the TV screen. Kinda important part of the game I think.

    Seth Davis - "It doesn't count as a win if you don't score 50"...

    By his logic, I suppose most teams in Big10 need to vacate half their wins considering 49 - 44 is a typical score in that conference.

    This has to be said but how great is Dan Dakich

    "This kid is smooth. This kid Ennis is really smooth." -- Dan Dakich
  27. FreeFries100

    Things to improve on

    Staying on the point. A couple interesting comments in the broadcast from last night. In the 1st Q around the 15min mark, Dakich says about Rak after not taking a shot in the paint, "Xmas has to take that shot from the elbow, if he can't you got to get someone in there that can." Later in the...

    Wow, a real NY Times story about us... not just one line in an AP story!

    It is a good write up. I'll give another exceptions though (and it's not isolated to this article). If you're going to mention that IU lost 4 of 5 starters from last years team, 2 now playing in the NBA, you might as well counter and say that Cuse also lost 3 out of 5 starters from last years...

    I can't be the only one who'd rather have Michigan than Indiana in the ACC/Big10 Challenge

    Indiana for me. '87 still stings. Michigan has lost twice already (not saying they're not good), but what I am saying is people then would assume you should win and we wouldn't get credit for beating a good team. All you would hear is how we don't leave NYS. The bonus in beating Indiana is...

    Bilas was not terribly impressed...

    a and Grant was 5-6 yesterday, hopefully that is trending up as well!

    Why I was encouraged last night

    Two times mind you. It was very nice.
  34. FreeFries100

    Bilas was not terribly impressed...

    I'm not so sure I'd label Kravish being in foul trouble as something "that went right for us". That just doesn't happen. Kravish didn't plan to foul out, he fouled out b/c our players did a good job of keeping the pressure up around him and therefore causing him to get into foul trouble.

    Ennis by the numbers

    The thing is he didn't take bad shots. A few missed running layups, a couple of running jumpers. Shots it looks as though he is capable of making. I'm confident he'll score some baskets when teams to your point "let him" take the shot. The bigger point is, he is not the guy that needs to...

    Cal will be a tougher game

    We always need to play well to win. But the way I look at it, it's a wash. They lost Crabbe, we lost MCW/Triche (I say 2 guys to their 1 b/c Crabbe was a big scorer for them). But we played a terrible game last year against Cal. Shoulda won by 20. I think if we play our game, we win by a...

    CJ Fair at a local hospital for stitches per Donna Ditota

    Couldn't agree more. I caught myself talking to myself after that foul about how it was good to see the ref's call touch fouls 28 ft from the basket. Really unexplainable. No surprise on the OP's update that CJ went to a hospital to get stiches. I knew it right after I saw it. Koudos to the...

    TV viewing question

    I too get NESN, although I'm in MA not Ohio. Initially I tuned into both the Cornell and Colgate games via ESPN3, but THAT was blacked out for me. Only then did I realize that the games were on NESN, which they were. When I was on ESPN3 it showed a blackout map, at a quick glance it only...

    Life after the Carrier Dome?

    All the replies and no mention of bringing back the blue curtain. I for one will say, bring back the Blue Curtain! I personally don't care about the long range seats that are lost. The curtain still allows for 30k and it provides a great backdrop for banners, flags, etc

    In NYC Saturday - where to watch game?

    That looks like the perfect spot to watch the game. It's been awhile since I lived in NYC, but I remember that place. For those that lived there in the 90's, the Polo Grounds (no longer) on the Upper East side was great spot as well.

    Shocking stat I just heard on YNN

    I agree 100%. I did not attend SU, but I attended the bars back in the late 80's/early 90's when I was back in town from school over the Summer and Holidays. Even when the students left, all of the "students" from surrounding suburbs who were back in town went up there. Always a good night out.
