College Basketball 2008

You would agree with anything this week, you are just thrilled King W. is stepping down from the throne.

Yes mam, I am. Trouble is, we don't know who will ascend to the throne. Plus the word is that consolidation is on its way.

In any case, Miss State finally figured ouit that the Tigers can't shoot free throws (Less than 60% and can't rebound). Nearly cost the Tigers the game. If Michigan is smart, they will capitalize on that ewarlier in the game.

UT continues to be well coached. I think that they will progress at least another game ot two.

The latest line in the paper today shows a point spread of 2 1/2 points in favor of Louisville. They may be well coached but they went 0 for 8 where 3 point shots were concerned in the second half and had only 4 for the entire game against Butler. They cannot do that against Louisville and expect to win. And their big guys they rely on are getting into foul trouble too early. We cannot afford to be without our big guys, the few we have. And the game between the Memphis Tigers and Michigan State shows a 5 point spread Memphis way. We will just have to wait and see.

Yep, we're in Nashville. And I agree about the seedings not being correct, at least in our case. We've won our conference three times in a row, been in the big dance three times, and we're still a 15 seed.

This year, we had a GREAT season -- only lost two games in conference play, won most of our out-of-conference match-ups including Alabama and Cincinnati (though Xavier did whip us pretty good...) and yet, there we were still 15 seeded. Georgia barely squeaked out a winning season and they got a much better seed than us....

I'm pouting now. Can you tell?

You probably shouldn't call this a "quality win" with our team being so terrible this year.

Ugh, the disappointment.

157 days until football season.

LOL!!!!

Well, my husband's a Bama alum and believe me, he concurs. My father who is a Cincinnati alum would say the same. (Funny how that happened!)

But for us, winning against those teams was great; even if it wasn't one of their better years, they still are head and shoulders above us (no pun intended) both in size and in relative talent. I believe the difference in both games was that, I'm sorry to say, our team was better coached. My husband has said more than once what a different team Bama would be if our coach was there instead of Gottfired (misspelling intentional, even if it is wishful thinking for the moment! )

I love it and agree!

I think they are going to give him this year as his "grace" and next year he will be in the hot seat. Ronald Steele will be back from his medical red shirt so I'd like to see that help Alabama out. You can see the difference a year makes without Steele's leadership.

Picking the kids up today I saw a guy with a HEELS ;-) shirt on. I shouted GO HEELS and raised my "we're number 1" finger through the sunroof....UNFORTUNATELY, due to the pollen, I had my sunroof closed. How am I going to be able to cheer this weekend with one hand crushed and the other busy holding a beverage

That is how I got fired from my last job. I was in charge of purchasing cups for the company picnic.

Vols going down tonight! Louisville will be too much for the little orange man in the orange coat. What an awful color to have to have to cheer for. Yuck! Go Tigers.
