    R E L A X

    Strangely, I had almost this same thought when I woke up this morning. It seemed last night like he didn't call too many set plays or change defense to try and break Maryland's rhythm, and kind of just let the guys try to play through it. I'm sure he saw way more than we all saw, but it sure...

    Thoughts with 12 minutes left in the second game

    Here's a thought (that we all knew already): Dustin Hogue=beast.

    What if Hogue just played these guys by himself? Or maybe 2 players...Hogue and a certain coach Ditka? Couldn't resist sorry, trying to add a little levity.

    Ejim needs to get it going, and if somebody could hit a couple threes we'll get right in it.

    Jesus barefooted h. for guarded 3s.

    Iowa State vs Connecticut predictions.

    Fred with a week to study and plan? We score 80, they don't. 83-75.

    Kane is a bad ***.

    His toughness is the difference with this team from especially last year. That team, same circumstances, likely loses today.

    Confidence

    Chasing with tar heel tears...delicious.

    Confidence

    It really is incredible the confidence Fred instills in these guys. Neither Naz or Monte had one bit of hesitation on those late threes, with a phenomenal season literally hanging on each shot. That's just quality choosing and quality people management. Hoiball defined. Bring on uconn, bring em...

    Mostly agree, however that call on Hogue when McAdoo basically threw him down was atrocious, and has a huge impact on the rest of the game.

    Time for some Dustin Hogue beast mode!!! Give him a few touches on the baseline/ left block. If he and Ejim can stay on the floor, we are in good shape here.

    So who starts?

    Going to be tough, but not impossible. They are a team capable of beating anybody (mich st., duke, louisville, kentucky) or losing to anybody (belmont, uab, wake, miami). Box and 1 on paige maybe, have kane try to facilitate off the wing/block, and need to knock down some shots.

    #14 MERCER BEATS #3 DUKE

    Haven't laughed that hard in awhile! So so many ways a person could take that line of thought and run!

    #14 MERCER BEATS #3 DUKE

    How many teams did that little elfish pr!ck say the ACC should have? Just does a body good to watch Duke continue to pee all over themselves in the tourney here lately...can't happen often enough! Now if UNC and ol' roy can follow suit, and we dominate as per our expectations, it'll be a perfect...

    North Carolina Central

    Agreed, and that's exactly why I think we're going to dominate this game. Our team this year has not been caught flat-footed much, and Fred seems to get the best out of his teams in the NCAA tourney. I bet they aren't watching film of anybody but NC Central, and I really doubt that a team this...

    North Carolina Central

    We were all worried at least a little by our first round draws in the past couple of years, and why not? We played 2 teams with at least some, and in one case a lot, of NCAA pedigree. Remember how we handled those situations? Plus, dare I say, this year's team is more balanced offensively, and...

    I Think Bill Walton Is High Right Now

    Remember him doing NBA color for I think ABC with Steve "Snapper" Jones? Snapper would be talking about post entry defense or some other basketball topic, and old Bill would chime in with some off-the-wall nonsense about his days following the Dead around. No wonder I'm constantly behind in my...

    Blum: Anything can happen

    Good point, I think you put it better than I did. Resolve is the word I was looking for. They do seem to be able to finish these close games now, but not without making us all throw s$%* at the tv/radio/computer a few times first.

    Blum: Anything can happen

    This, to me, is the biggest reason we can be a factor deep into March. This team has something that our last 2 teams just didn't quite have: a killer instinct.

    I agreed when I opened it up, I think our season would not have been crippled with a 5th loss, lol. However, we now have a reasonable chance to climb the ladder up the big XII, I'd say as good a chance as anyone to finish 2nd, or T2 with Texas/OU. Without that one last night, it would have been...
