    Spring Game April 20th | 7 PM

    Did anyone catch what the two said after that hit? Did Wax say welcome to the big league, leave that high school stuff at home or what?

    Hurley to UK

    BYU was a weird team this year. They had games that they looked like they could win it all, then turn around and fall flat on their faces. When their guards were on they were dangerous and could run with anyone. They had way to many oops moments though. It wasn't due to lack of coaching, it was...

    ACC vs BIG 12

    that is the big 12 I am talking acc. 8 losses, how many of them were against Syracuse? Half or more? We all know the big 12 is skewed because of their extremely low sos

    ACC vs BIG 12

    Makes you wonder if the net actually reflected teams that should be each quadrant what the records would look like. Oh wait they would look like the Big 12. How many of those Q3 loses were against us?

    There is one downtown,I think it is Q39, that is really good.Try it next time you go.

    SEC = garbage conference

    I think it is a "play in game" thus you are not in until you win the game. The tourney didn't officailly start until Thursday.

    Tuesday's Departure Thread

    My first job I worked making Champion Spark Plugs for 21 years until my daughter got sick and I had to take the time to help her. Once she was better I went back to work I worked for that company for 10 years until they were sold(was supposed to close but ended up getting bought out). Will work...

    Syracuse MBB finally releases a statement

    This isn't true at all. I am a quality manager and I am not allowed by law to talk of any medical issues of any kind for any of my employees. It is hard enough for me to get HR to keep me even halfway informed, and I need to know as I have an entire department to run. If you are a friend or...

    NC State

    Sure if it makes you feel better. One of the beauties of living in different parts of the country is it has allowed me to watch other conferences and get to know them too. Since I live in Iowa now, I will root for Iowa State since Syracuse isn't in it. But rooting for the underdogs to me has...

    NC State

    I have always been a closet NC State fan, as living in NC for 5 years I quickly got tired of all the "its either Duke or NC" crap going on. State always being placed in a severe underdog role always made me root harder for them. That being said, they haven't always fielded the most likable...

    Two more bad ideas from Steve

    I would venture to say your point two is the reason point three exists. As teams get better throughout the season, it makes sense that the team with the best conference record may not be the best come post season. But in a one game format for a championship game, can that really be determined...

    So Who Is The First Portaler?

    It's funny you should say that. I have mentioned before one of my USDA inspectors graduated from Iowa State and is a huge fan. We have each started to follow each others teams and converse a lot about them. He basically says the same thing, tell him to quit whining and get back in the game...

    ESPN2 Problems Anyone

    I have Hulu/Roku as well, no issues. Once in a while I have to pull out the Roku and disconnect the power (I have the USB Roku) and then plug everything back together. Then no issues for a while. If I remember to do this once a month I have no issues. If I forget, it may start to lock up on me.

    Filipowski better be suspended

    Would it make a difference if Ingram had sprained his wrist or broke an arm or hit his head causing concussion protocol? That is why you don't trip. Very lucky something worse didn't happen. Just because everyone was able to play on doesn't excuse the trip. This had the potential to be way worse...

    Benny Williams dismissed from program

    I am more or less right with you. The only difference is I don't think Maliq starts at center. I guess it is hopeful thinking. I would rather Freeman come off the bench-he is just a freshman and I would rather him get comfortable without all the pressure. Plus I am really curious of what Maliq...

    I'm surprised there's no thread on Judah's outburst

    I understand where you are coming from but the alternative is worse. They could just T him up every time he talks to them. Maybe they should, maybe it would help. But most officials don't mind talking to the kids, giving them advice. They also have consequences of doing their job well or not...

    I'm surprised there's no thread on Judah's outburst

    I have been wondering what Judah was upset about as well. He was jawing someone, and didn't realize it was the ref wanting the ball. I am not sure the T was necessary but who knows what the ref had already said to him. Then he started pleading with Red, and Red did the right thing and sat him...

    OT Best cough medicine

    This is a great thread. My wife has been suffering for a week. The doctor recommended Clariton as Bill says, also Cepacol throat lozenge. That along with boiling some ginger and adding honey and lime helped her get over the worst. But now she is back to a lot of flem, dragging her down. I just...

    What about this rule change

    It wasn't so much the 6th foul that was bad, trying to match the NBA, was a good idea. The Big East was just too rough and that extra foul could have physically hurt someone. Pittsburgh in particular was brutal, but every game was a boxing match. Fun time, fun league. I miss it dearly but man it...

    Another Win. Another Drop in the NET?

    That isn't the point. Everyone knows the quadrants change over the course of the season. The point is the quadrants are set up incorrectly in November because the data is incomplete, and the missing data is replaced with bias. Sometimes this will work its way out throughout the season. Sometimes...

    Another Win. Another Drop in the NET?

    You misunderstand. Or are ignoring the obvious. Net, or any ranking is 100% affected by early rankings or biases. Who determines what quad teams start in? A game on Dec 22 can be a quad one vs quad 3. Why? Who determined in December that say NC is a quad one in Dec and their opponent, say Seton...

    Another Win. Another Drop in the NET?

    There is always going to be advantages. It doesn't matter the metric either, there are and always will be built in biases. At the start of the year everyone is 0-0, yet Vegas still sets odds on the game, and there are mythical rankings. These are pulled from preexisting bias. NC is always going...

    We won. That is all that matters right now

    How can you determine his true worth? He is out of position. No none knows if he has another level of offense or not. His couple threes looked good he made, so is it out of the realm of possibility he has another level of game we don't yet know about?

    Manipulating the NET

    That all depends on the refs. They get the wrong crew and they will all foul out. There are at least 3 fouls every possession.

    NC State Postgame Thoughts 2

    I think it was Brown. He had one called on him for literally just standing there.

    NC State Postgame Thoughts 2

    Because he drove to deep, picked up his dribble, panicked, had no where to go, and anticipated where one of his teammate was going to go and anticipated wrong. It is like no one ever heard of a probing drive, if it isn't there bring it back out and reset.

    NC State Postgame Thoughts 2

    Tonight Judah really reverted back to the "jump into a guy and throw up the ball while falling down" routine. That move quit getting called many games ago. He had been getting better at it, but he has been doing it for so long when he wanted to play hero it just naturally came back to him. And...

    Hey I have a question

    I wasn't going to respond to this moronic thread, but then I got to thinking, do you listen to the coaches at all? If you did 99% of the questions would have been answered. There is an old saying...you have two ears and one mouth so you should listen twice as much as you talk. I suppose you...
