I'm not big on hyperbole, but that was without a doubt the worst call I've ever seen. It really was pretty incredible. That ref is a B12 ref too. So we get a full year of seeing him.

I probably wouldn't have been as pissed as I was if the game were pretty much decided at that point.

Nice bounceback win for the Hawks.

Withey literally didn't do anything. He was just standing there while the guy was lowering his shoulder into Jeff's chest. What a weird call.

KU's defense did play well. GT did well on screen drives and step back shots off the screen. But I did notice that KU played that step back screen much better in the 2nd half. I'm not too worried about KU's defense. Scoring is an issue. Releford, Tehan, and even Johnson have been inconsistent. And Withey needs to take it up strong and not be a sissy and get blocked by guys a foot shorter.

were they playing in a high school gym?


defense and scrappiness with a Self team ... whodathunkit?!?! :D

WTF happened to the Big East? They have 3 good teams at the top, but the rest of the conference is crap.

Self "it wasnt the most artistic, but I love winning ugly games"

GT is young. They will be good again soon. They're not too bad now, actually.

I wish we got Otto Porter. That dude is going to be an absolute beast in a couple of years.

Yes ... yes, he does.

You're watching a team with only one player that's ever started consistently before at the NCAA level. That's probably it.

Decided? It was a 5 point game with 8 minutes left when he fouled out. I wasn't too upset, though, as he played horrible throughout. It's becoming a bit of a trend with him...he's not giving a good enough effort and he pussies out from any contact.

Thats probably right.

You seen the B12 this year? Big down year, too.

Very similar situation to three years ago (although Aldrich quickly emerged into the defensive MVP of the NCAA). That team lost to UMass.
