ACC doesn’t suck?
Depends. Do you mean this season?
ACC doesn’t suck?
They have zero shooters. That’s a problem when you want touches for Stewart.
Who do you think would win?
ETA: also, do you find prediction threads here distasteful?
Up 12 at the half. Stewart dominating. The kid that was redshirting before the Green is a legit player.
It’s too bad Buddy, Hughes and Stewart are not on the same team. Would be one of the best offensive teams in the country.
The same way that some of us criticize JB for not landing quality bigs, maybe Hopkins should get some heat for not having good shooters on the roster?
Why Washington is mediocre And near the bottom of the pac 10lol, thanks I needed that
They’ve still got a better win than us though, right?
If national titles were handed out over message board passion and logic, some of our Bubble teams might have won them. Paper(or silicon) is not the same thing as the hardwood, which is why they play the games. We've lost to other teams we were "better" than this season, and they did not have Stewart.
I get the sour grapes self soothing that is going on on here. Did David Robinson(or any example one prefers. memory isn't my strong suit all of the time) have a lot of stars around him during that post season upset?
Not sure anyone on our team other than Quincy would get a rebound.
that’s an exageration.
I think if it were a series, both teams would win at least one. Like I said, I was having a good laugh at what I perceived as overconfidence at someone being certain we would beat anyone this season, let alone a team with Stewart, if that makes sense.
The thing with these arguments is that no matter what, nothing can be proven on here. I wish I could bump some greatest hits examples of people being sure.
One year, I took the opposite stance and made an open $50 bet to as many people who wanted to take it that we would make it into the tournament when almost everyone said we wouldn't. Only 1 fella took it, and of course he lost(I told him he didn't have to send me the money, and he was grateful). I'm only mentioning that to prevent being labeled anything, the way some of these folks labeled others as "trolls" for not bending the knee at every turn.
To answer your final question, I don't participate in them because it was explained to me they are merely people trying to look clever with what they name the teams, without much regard for accuracy of the scores. So yes, I recently joked I did find their extreme lack of accuracy distasteful.
I make few predictions, and like in the example given they are usually way against the odds, but also usually correct. I reckon a take a bit of pride in that, being I can't blow my own horn about my connections or some of the other things folks do on here. What I display here is what I have for you.
tldr version: Amusing that anyone can be so sure of winning anything this season, let alone when playing against Stewart, as well as Hop, who understands this team.
cant answer the question?
You forgot to use the right fontwhat a gag job and a complete tournament killer for them. up 16 with ten left, at home with one of the best bigs in country and you lose? As bad as it gets
If he was still eligible, Quadeagain, who on Washington starts for SU besides Stewart?
If I didn't answer it how you wanted it, it means I did not find it relevant to your bluster about being certain Cuse would beat UW. It's not a game of chess or trading baseball cards, that is not how basketball or team sports in general work. It's been proven year after year on here that message board bluster does not win national titles, nor even make you a blue blood(remember those days? lol).
And you didn't answer my reply to your question about how many of the Navy starters would have started on our team. There are probably better examples, but I don't tend to put a lot of effort into remembering things as unimportant as the majority of sporting events.
If you want to believe SU would beat UW 100 times out of 100, there is nothing I can write that would change your mind.
You forgot to use the right font
again, who on Washington starts for SU besides Stewart?
I do. It was dumb. The other team is still ranked number 8 in the country. They were supposed to win. It would have been a great win for UW, but it's not a tourney killer.disagree with the point?
1. Some of the "message board bluster" on this very forum was that UW was a FF candidate.
2. Who here said that "SU would beat UW 100 times out of 100"?
1)not from me, irrelevant to anything I have said.
2When he replies to that, you'll understand why I wrote it.
your whole comment about "message board bluster" was irrelevant to anything that's been posted in this thread.
You've posted in this thread that you're "usually right" with your predictions, so why not opine as to who would win (no, not in a series, not 100/100 games) in a single-game matchup on a neutral court between SU and UW?
