3:00 tip, Big 12 Network (38 the Spot in KC)

[Reerun_KC]

have the tivo set, going to basketball tourneys again today...

[Bugeater]

Oh crap, not this again.

[Skip Towne]

Directv users can find it on NBC. At least I did.

[Reerun_KC]

Channel 34 on Direct TV here in the OKC metro area.

[SPchief]

Huskers by 3?

















In reality, I just want them to keep it close

[Bearcat]

Oh crap, not this again.

Come on, it's a big day in the Big 12, with every team playing... and Nebraska's #5 in the conference. Big game for both teams, should be close.

[Buehler445]

361 DTV if you can't find it on NBC.

[DJJasonp]

Who's going to give the bitch-slap to Flava Flav today?? Morris twin?? Mario Little???

You're in our house now Flava Flav.

[teedubya]

The Cookie crumbles!!

[DJJasonp]

hmmm...

[Bugeater]

Huskers by 3?
In reality, I just want them to keep it close
I've had enough of "close" this year. Hell, for that matter, I've had enough of that for the last decade.

[teedubya]

I predict 1+ point victory by one of the teams.

Yeah, I didn't think I would find it today since I don't have the sports package, but one of the stations I do get is YES since I live in the northeast. And they sometimes show Big XII football and basketball (for some reason).

[Buehler445]

The YES channel makes me laugh. It's such a hokey channel but it does show the hawks a lot.

[DJay23]

The YES channel makes me laugh. It's such a hokey channel but it does show the hawks a lot.

It's kind of weird that there is one channel out there devoted to ONE team, and not a city or region. They show such weird programming sometimes. Goofy stuff like after school specials, and interviews with movie stars, replays of Yankees games from the 90's, etc. And then you get stuff about Penn State football (kind of understandable with JoePa being from the area) and Big XII football and basketball.

Must be nice to have an organization with so much money.

[Buehler445]

Holtus is announcing.

[Buehler445]

Lollypop kids. ROFL I love Holtus!

[DJay23]

No mask for Cole.

[Buehler445]

No mask for Cole.

They're probably going to go after his nose.

[DJay23]

They're probably going to go after his nose.

Maybe they can get a step ladder fo Cookie.

[SPchief]

That was off KU's knee

[Buehler445]

Aldrich is handling the NU pressure and double teams a lot better.

[Bearcat]

Aldrich is handling the NU pressure and double teams a lot better.

Yep, looking much better so far.

[DJay23]

Aldrich is handling the NU pressure and double teams a lot better.

Looking for open shooters instead of someone just to pass to. That quick shot sucked, but I know what he was going for there. Get it out fast so they didn't have time double, he just needs to be more calm in doing it.

[Buehler445]

If he's going to do that he needs to post up higher so he can get the glass.

[DJay23]

We look shaky on offense IMO.

[DJay23]

If he's going to do that he needs to post up higher so he can get the glass.

For real.

[Buehler445]

I love how the Huskers never crash the boards.

Both teams are pretty damn cold.

[Buehler445]

Aldrich headed to the locker room. FUCK

[DJay23]

I love how the Huskers never crash the boards.

Both teams are pretty damn cold.

They are a bunch of midgets. I wouldn't want them crashing the boards either. You get everyone back on transition D to prevent the easy basket.

I like when we hit 3's, but I hate when we are relying on guys who don't usually make them. I want to see more work inside and mid range.

[doomy3]

Man, Morris is really coming along. Hopefully Little can start playing better too.

[DJay23]

Aldrich headed to the locker room. ****

Blood on his jersey?

[DJay23]

Way to go Morris's's'

[Buehler445]

Blood on his jersey?

I hope it is not an injury. He didn't look fucked up when he was running off.

[Buehler445]

Man, Morris is really coming along. Hopefully Little can start playing better too.

Little has played pretty well, I'm surprised he doesn't play more. It is probably because he has been taken to the woodshed a couple if times on defense.

[Bearcat]

I hope it is not an injury. He didn't look ****ed up when he was running off.

Yeah, he was running off without his jersey, so I'm thinking he'll be back soon.

[Bearcat]

And there he is.

[Buehler445]

Back on the bench now.

[Buehler445]

I fucking love how they boo cookie. I fucking LOVE it.

[DJay23]

This game is ugly. Combined 29 points 8 minutes from halftime.

[Skip Towne]

No mask for Cole.

Who was that masked man?

[DJay23]

I ****ing love how they boo cookie. I ****ing LOVE it.

It's seemless isn't it?

[Buehler445]

Collins coming out.

[Skip Towne]

Collins can ball. I hope the NBA doesn't notice.

[the Talking Can]

oh my

[Buehler445]

Collins can ball. I hope the NBA doesn't notice.

So what do you guys think his NBA chances are?

I have a friend of mine that thinks he is done afer this year. I think he's too short to play in the league, but his response was, "he's averaging almost 20 AT KANSAS. That doesn't happen."

[Lzen]

Boy, I like Releford, but he still makes too many mistakes. I think he will be a big contributor to this team someday, but no so much this year.

[DJay23]

So what do you guys think his NBA chances are?

I have a friend of mine that thinks he is done afer this year. I think he's too short to play in the league, but his response was, "he's averaging almost 20 AT KANSAS. That doesn't happen."

Yeah, but he's averaging 20 at Kansas in reload mode. This is not last year's Kansas.

He may be short, but he is bull dog strong and race horse fast and when his shot is on he is tough to stop.

[Skip Towne]

So what do you guys think his NBA chances are?

I have a friend of mine that thinks he is done afer this year. I think he's too short to play in the league, but his response was, "he's averaging almost 20 AT KANSAS. That doesn't happen."

Who will take the point if he leaves?

[DJay23]

Boy, I like Releford, but he still makes too many mistakes. I think he will be a big contributor to this team someday, but no so much this year.

Perfect example was a possession when he was overpusuant on D and his guy got by him a little. He looked like a little puppy chasing his toy ball and the ball stops but the puppy slides past right into a wall. The puppy needs to learn how to harness his power.

[DJay23]

Who will take the point if he leaves?

Tyshawn or Elijah Johnson coming in next year. I thought he was a point guard but apparently he is a freakishly athletic wing.

[Lzen]

He is a little short for the NBA, but that doesn't mean he can't play in the League. There have been guys much shorter than Collins that have had long and successful NBA careers. I think Collins can play in the NBA. He can create his own shot and he's pretty good on defense. His body is built (height notwithstanding) for the next level, IMO.

[DJay23]

Wow, THAT was a moving screen. That dude should get a hold of Bo Pelini about a shot at tackle.

[Buehler445]

Fair enough. I don't follow the NBA much, so I don't know.

Yep. His defense is still not very good. This is why he still doesn't get many minutes.

[Buehler445]

Whaaaa???

[Bearcat]

I've seen Hansbrough making those kinds of shots inside the 3 point line... good to see Aldrich has yet another way to dominate Jesus. :)

[Skip Towne]

Aldrich sure is accurate for having such a fucked up shot.

[DJay23]

Wow, if I were Doc Sadler I would kick whoever committed that foul off the team.

Re-Tar-Ded

[Buehler445]

Aldrich has shot freethrows poorly today.

[DJay23]

Aldrich has shot freethrows poorly today.

Maybe now he's getting used to shooting WITHOUT the mask. :shrug:

[Buehler445]

:spock: Offensive?

[Buehler445]

Aldrich misses another FT. Damn it.

[Skip Towne]

KU's fat cheerleaders doing back flips again.

[Lzen]

Mitch just said something about Harley shot that from Sturgis. ROFL

[DJay23]

Wow, getting good hustle on offense, just nothing to show for it.

Nebraska getting some easy looks and hitting now.

[Buehler445]

Mitch just said something about Harley shot that from Sturgis. ROFL


I heard that. WTF?

[Mr. Laz]

this team will drive you insane

[Buehler445]

It is doing a pretty good job, Laz.

[Buehler445]

Nice bucket by Sherron.

[Chiefless]

Ugh, this does not bode well for Monday's showdown.

[DJay23]

They've got some mental toughness to work on or I foresee a potential first round exit come March.

[Lzen]

I heard that. WTF?

You know Steve Harley on Nebraska? Harley Davidson? Sturgis - little town town in westen South Dakota where there is a world famous biker rally every year in August? Any of that ring a bell?

[Bearcat]

Ugh, this does not bode well for Monday's showdown.

Care to elaborate?

[Mr. Laz]

aldrich ... you gotta make that for a 3 pt play, bud.

[Buehler445]

Ugh, this does not bode well for Monday's showdown.

Oklahoma is a totally different team. But you are correct.

[Buehler445]

You know Steve Harley on Nebraska? Harley Davidson? Sturgis - little town town in westen South Dakota where there is a world famous biker rally every year in August? Any of that ring a bell?

Sorry. Dumbass moment.

[Bearcat]

They've got some mental toughness to work on or I foresee a potential first round exit come March.

I've been thinking that all season... sweet sixteen could happen, but a first round/first weekend exit is more likely, IMO. It'll just be another learning experience.

[Buehler445]

Still booing cookie. ROFL

[Lzen]

Ugh, this does not bode well for Monday's showdown.

Eh, I don't know. We'll see. Could just be a case of a team looking ahead a little bit.

[Mr. Laz]

where the hell was the rest of the team?


it was collins and morris 2 on 4

[Chiefless]

Care to elaborate?

Disappearing in the second half against OK will lead to a lopsided loss in my opinion. KU has developed a nasty habbit of coming out flat it seems. BUT, they may gear up for the No. 2 team in the nation, so who knows.

[KC_Connection]

This game is going pretty much as I expected it would. Nebraska is making us play like them, it's like a Big 10 game.

[DJay23]

I've been thinking that all season... sweet sixteen could happen, but a first round/first weekend exit is more likely, IMO. It'll just be another learning experience.

IT all depends on our seed. I think we are in the 3-4 range right now. We were a 3 when we lost to Bucknell. We were a 4 when we lost to Bradley.

[KC_Connection]

Disappearing in the second half against OK will lead to a lopsided loss in my opinion. KU has developed a nasty habbit of coming out flat it seems. BUT, they may gear up for the No. 2 team in the nation, so who knows.

They'll be fine. This is the way Nebraska makes teams play.

[Mr. Laz]

until we are able to actually play 2 good halves back-to-back i doubt we go very far in the tourney.

we can play pretty good basketball for ONE half ..... then we take a dump on our shoes.

[KC_Connection]

until we are able to actually play 2 good halves back-to-back i doubt we go very far in the tourney.

KU doesn't blow out the bad teams. It may cost them at some point.

[Buehler445]

until we are able to actually play 2 good halves back-to-back i doubt we go very far in the tourney.

This is pretty much the way I feel. They CAN play well enough to go deep, but often don't.

[DJay23]

Morris didn't even jump to block that one.

I was wondering what that midget thought he was doing posting up.

[Mr. Laz]

if it's goal tending and you still make the shot i think you should get 4 points :D

[Buehler445]

No foul on that shit?

[Chiefless]

The early TO seems to have paid off...

[Lzen]

Umm, no that ws not a good non call. That #11 jumped in front of Reid. Should have been a blocking foul.

[KC_Connection]

I feel sorry for Lance Stephenson. He had to watch such a boring game.

[Mr. Laz]

i think we should set more picks for Aldrich down low instead of having him come out and set picks high all the time.

he's too important

[Buehler445]

Markeiff isn't blowing complete ass right now.

Nice block by Morningstar.

[Mr. Laz]

that foul on Marcus Morris was Markief's fault

[Bearcat]

Disappearing in the second half against OK will lead to a lopsided loss in my opinion. KU has developed a nasty habbit of coming out flat it seems. BUT, they may gear up for the No. 2 team in the nation, so who knows.

Yeah, they've done it all season, so I'm sure it'll bite them in the ass a couple more times. It is hard to really put it to Nebraska though... the Mizzou game was a big shock to me, because they usually enough of a pain to keep it close.

I guess you could look at it this way... they probably won't be up 10+ to OU on Monday night, so there's a smaller chance that they'll fall asleep in the 2nd half. Then again, OU has been sleepwalking for a while, so I guess OU could sleepwalk through the first half and KU could sleepwalk through the 2nd.

[Mr. Laz]

I think Thomas has some potential

[Buehler445]

Dumbass pass Morris.

[DJay23]

i think we should set more picks for Aldrich down low instead of having him come out and set picks high all the time.

he's too important

:clap:

[Skip Towne]

Bury these little bastards!!

[DJay23]

I think Thomas has some potential

I think it's pretty popular to compare him to Darnell. Everything I've heard and read says he is a tough kid, hard worker, full of energy and very likeable.

[KC_Connection]

I still don't get why a lot of you guys think OU is on another level. They only beat Nebraska by 11 at home. They have weaknesses.

[Bearcat]

IT all depends on our seed. I think we are in the 3-4 range right now. We were a 3 when we lost to Bucknell. We were a 4 when we lost to Bradley.

3 is to high, and I think 4 might be, too. IMO, they're a 5, 'expected' to lose in the 2nd round to a 4.

[Mr. Laz]

i missed it ....... did morningstar just airball one?

[DJay23]

3 is to high, and I think 4 might be, too. IMO, they're a 5, 'expected' to lose in the 2nd round to a 4.

I don't want any part of a 5-12 matchup.

[Bearcat]

:clap:

[Buehler445]

Collins....WOW.....Brutal.

[KC_Connection]

KU really has to put teams away when they get up by 12-13 points.

[Chiefless]

Yeah, they've done it all season, so I'm sure it'll bite them in the ass a couple more times. It is hard to really put it to Nebraska though... the Mizzou game was a big shock to me, because they usually enough of a pain to keep it close.

Then again, OU has been sleepwalking for a while, so I guess OU could sleepwalk through the first half and KU could sleepwalk through the 2nd.

True. But I really think KU will have to play out of their minds to have a shot...They need some one like Morningstar to go all Buddy Biancalana on OU...

[Mr. Laz]

Markief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111

:eek:

[DJay23]

KIEFF WITH A DUNK?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!:eek:

[KC_Connection]

Maryland just tied it up...OT vs. UNC

[Mr. Laz]

KU will have to shoot well from outside to beat OU

[DJay23]

True. But I really think KU will have to play out of their minds to have a shot...They need some one like Morningstar to go all Buddy Biancalana on OU...

YES! Great 85 Royals reference!

[Buehler445]

Markieff with a nice follow dunk. Maybe should have been over the back, but he's being aggressive but not retarded. I like it.

He hasn't been playing around the rim well to date. Maybe now he's getting it now too.

[DaKCMan AP]

Maryland just tied it up...OT vs. UNC

That was glorious. The look on Hansborough's face when he didn't get the foul call was priceless.

[Bearcat]

I still don't get why a lot of you guys think OU is on another level. They only beat Nebraska by 11 at home. They have weaknesses.

I'm just waiting to see at this point... they haven't played anyone in the top half of the conference in a month.

[Lzen]

3 is to high, and I think 4 might be, too. IMO, they're a 5, 'expected' to lose in the 2nd round to a 4.

I don't know. If you look at the RPI, KU should be a #3.

[Mr. Laz]

morningstar pimp slapped another one ROFL

[Bearcat]

That was glorious. The look on Hansborough's face when he didn't get the foul call was priceless.

This thread just became worthless without pics...

[DJay23]

Any of you guys who have not read the book At Home in the Phog with Bill Self, should. It's a quick and easy read, but not on a grade school level like so many authorized biographies of sports figures. If for no other reason than to read the last few chapters about the Davidson, Carolina, and Memphis games. Self does a video break down of each game with the author.

[Lzen]

So, was that layup just a minute ago Cookie's first basket today?

[Chiefless]

I still don't get why a lot of you guys think OU is on another level. They only beat Nebraska by 11 at home. They have weaknesses.

I guess I think that because they are 25-1 (11-0), currently ranked No. 2 in the country and are playing KU at home. I don't think it's a huge leap for me to think they are a step above this year's KU squad.

:shrug:

[DJay23]

We've got the bolder teetering, just need one little push and this game should move toward blowout mode. Nebraska is getting a little out of control in their desperation.

[Bearcat]

Cookie Miller, no match for the skyscraper Morningstar.

[Mr. Laz]

Morningstar leading the Big 12 in 3-pt percentage :eek:




i did not know that :clap:

[Buehler445]

That was glorious. The look on Hansborough's face when he didn't get the foul call was priceless.

ROFL

Must have been international refs....

Hey off topic, how is Florida's ball team? I watched about half of the ugly ass game with Kentucky and that's all I've seen of them.

[Lzen]

Haven't gotten it yet. But I plan to check it out.

Kind of reminded me of my days playing junior high basketball.

[KC_Connection]

Ha, I know. Hopefully they'll lose.

Still teh suck. No real inside game and they've choked away games they should have won. Losing Speights to the nba hurt.

[KC_Connection]

:shrug:

You must not watch them often, because they don't impress me that much. They've played close games with Nebraska, Iowa State, Colorado, and Texas A&M in recent weeks, and their only win over a current ranked team is Purdue. If KU plays their best, they can win this game.

[KC_Connection]

Lawson is a great player.

You are absolutely correct. I do not watch them. No cable. So, I defer to you and am now optimistic. I prefer NOT to be optimistic, so THANKS!

:D

[Bearcat]

Did he just say "don't bring it down with the rugrats"? I'm going to make-believe he did.

You are absolutely correct. I do not watch them. No cable. So, I defer to you and am now optimistic. I prefer NOT to be optimistic, so THANKS!

:D

They are not the dominant basketball team that KU was last season in the Big 12. Not even close.

[Buehler445]

Foul call with 8 seconds on the shot clock. I like it.

[KC_Connection]

LOL...how can that guy complain about a foul there? Aldrich is just taller than him.

[DJay23]

Oh Jesus, the Maryland student section is lining up to rush the court.

[Buehler445]

LOL...how can that guy complain about a foul there? Aldrich is just taller than him.

No shit. He went straight up. Tell your fucking ass coach to get a center so you don't have to play Aldrich.

[Lzen]

They are not the dominant basketball team that KU was last season in the Big 12. Not even close.

Yeah, they don't look like an 800lb gorilla. But they have won a ton of games. Even if several of them were close, they still came out on top. Difference between them and KU is experience.

[DaKCMan AP]

Down goes Huckleberry!!!!!!!!!

Maryland wins :)

[KC_Connection]

Upset...Maryland wins.

[Lzen]

Dagundura needs to quit challenging Cole. Cole is owning him right now. :D

[ArrowheadHawk]

I hope KU knocks off the number one team on Monday that would be awesome.

[Buehler445]

Down goes Huckleberry!!!!!!!!!

Maryland wins :)

w00t!!!

Wasn't Maryland's coach about fired earlier this year?

[Chiefless]

They are not the dominant basketball team that KU was last season in the Big 12. Not even close.

Unfortunately, neither is KU by a long-shot. I certainly hope you are right. I'd like nothing more than for KU to win out and claw into a 2 seed. I don't mind seeing an elite-8 game...not at all.

[DJay23]

I'm sure the voters will bump Carolina up to second. I mean, their uniforms are so pretty and everything and that Hansbrough can turn water to wine.

[Bearcat]

Yeah, they don't look like an 800lb gorilla. But they have won a ton of games. Even if several of them were close, they still came out on top. Difference between them and KU is experience.

Yep, just because OU doesn't have the focus of a NC-caliber team, doesn't mean they aren't better than Kansas, whether it's a few points better or 20 points better.


Kansas takes care of business... on to Oklahoma. :clap:

[ArrowheadHawk]

Unfortunately, neither is KU by a long-shot. I certainly hope you are right. I'd like nothing more than for KU to win out and claw into a 2 seed. I don't mind seeing an elite-8 game...not at all.
Thats a little wishful thinking their. I will be happy with playing in the second weekend.

Good for them.. and Hansbrough only had 11 points with 4 FT attempts. :hmmm:

And last.

1/4 for a total of 2 points. ROFL

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. ;)

Beating OU Monday night? Of course it could happen. Win the Big 12? Maybe. Fall asleep in the 2nd half of a tournament game and lose to a 13 seed? ;)

[DJay23]

After the Kleinman DUNK(ish)

That was some high comedy right there.

That IS the elite 8...

I blame KC Connection. He now has me optimistic that KU can beat OU. If KU can beat OU, they CAN win out the reg season and at least make the big 12 champ game. If they do that I think they have a shot at a 2. From the 2 seed thay CAN win their first 2 games and play in the elite-8, which is where this team tops out IMO.

Again, thanks KC Connection...:grr:

[KC_Connection]

Unfortunately, neither is KU by a long-shot. I certainly hope you are right. I'd like nothing more than for KU to win out and claw into a 2 seed. I don't mind seeing an elite-8 game...not at all.

Never said they were. KU is very flawed, and their lack of experience hurts. Doesn't mean they can't beat OU, though.

[KC_Connection]

The goal for this team SHOULD be to win the big 12 and make it to an elite 8 team. They have the talent to do that.

Edit: Not that I expect that, but it's possible.

[Lzen]

KU can beat OU. But they can't turn over the ball 20+ times and expect to win. KU has to play their A game if they expect to beat OU at Norman. Heh, unless, of course, OU plays their D game. :D

A 2 seed ASSUMES you're good enough to get to the Elite 8... you don't get a free pass. :spock:

Oh, I know. But they will have to play their best game of the year IMO.

I agree with that.. they have a reasonable shot at winning the Big 12 (and that should be a goal every season), and then playing to their seed in the tournament should be their next goal.

[KC_Connection]

Oklahoma's point differential is 14, Kansas's is 13. They can beat them.

For reference, Kansas' point differential last year was 20.

[Bearcat]

Don't pee on my fantasy.

:D

Didn't want you to get too high there, but I guess there's not harm in dreamin'.

To the 'ship! :)

Did the NCAA trim the field to 32 teams?

No, I can't do math. I was hoping that would slip by.

[ArrowheadHawk]

I was wondering the same thing. Weekend one is 64-32. The second is 16 and then 8. I will be happy to just make the sweet 16.

I'm sure the voters will bump Carolina up to second. I mean, their uniforms are so pretty and everything and that Hansbrough can turn water to wine.

Are you from Norf Cackalackie?

I just assumed that we were in UNC's bracket and could overlook the Sweet Sixteen game. :D

No but I swear whoever votes in those polls all jerk off to pictures of Tyler Hansbrough.

Let my dumbassery be a lesson to all of you kids out there: don't do weed.

Who's going to give the bitch-slap to Flava Flav today?? Morris twin?? Mario Little???

You're in our house now Flava Flav.

Yea cause Lawrence is so ghetto and what not. Watch out Cookie one of the liberal ku students might throw there gay rights pamplet at you!

Oh look, his mommy let little Billy out to play.

Cookie was 1-4 and finished with 2 points. Nice job, punk.

Yea he only scored 2 points cause he was so scared of the KU crowd. Your right your fans are such hardasses they cry about someone stealing the ball after the whistle. Meanwhile they cheer for guys who don't pay child support, expose themselves in public, and elbow refs. You sir are a teflon idiot.

I'm impressed that he actually cares enough about NU basketball to run smack about it.

You rule, billay.

NU does have a few basketball fans. :p

please go away

[Buehler445]

You know, after seeing most of the season with Morningstar, I think he has put to rest all doubt that he should be playing over the likes of the other guys that are riding the bench.

I'll have my crow medium-rare, please.

A little tidbit about Nebraska Basketball. Of the 300 teams to have made the NCAA tournament. They are ranked 297th on the W-L chart. They are 0-6.

Huh, I thought there was only a couple other D-1 teams that had never won a tourney game, according to that there are a lot of them. Yay, we don't suck quite as bad as I thought!

I found this when I Googled "Husker men's basketball"

I'm not too sure what you were expecting, but you do realize we are 11-1 in conference play, right?

Or else what, no championship for us this year? :spock:

LOL. I just don't understand how anybody could be upset with the way this team has played so far. How have they not taken things "seriously?"

I mean...I didn't think this group was a top 15 team, did you?

[Mr. Laz]

yep .... just terrible that i want us to keep getting better and try and do something in the tourney


just terrible

What have they shown to you that suggests they won't keep getting better? You are being negative for absolutely no reason.

I'm beyond happy with where the Jayhawks are at the moment -- I'm in denial. IIRC, they were slated for 4th in the conference this year, and I think being 2nd has more to do with Texas and Baylor being disappointments than it does with Kansas being all that much better than people originally thought.

A lack of focus hurt Kansas like once all season last year, against Oklahoma State, and this place still imploded after that game (but there was obviously much more at stake). It just doesn't matter this year... they're going to lose focus from time to time, they're going to fall asleep, etc; and they'll learn from it.

[Mr. Laz]

first of all ... i'm not unhappy with their record so far.

better than pretty everyone expected


but that doesn't mean they can't do better

if they would just "stop fuggin around" and stay focused for an entire game instead of just a half then they could be much better.

[PHOG]

Way to go young'ns...

[ArrowheadHawk]

How is 11-1 in conference play "fuggin around?"

Yeah I don't see how you can be mad at this with a team that has a whole new starting 5 from the previous year.
