That was the most entertaining, yet also respectful, ejection Ive ever seen.
Down goes Wisconsin.
Today is going to be a good day.
Dook will always be as gay as it gets, but this is no longer really exciting to me like it was Dean/K, Roy/K. I guess I have to give props to K. This rivalry with Scheyer leading the ship is pretty boring. If he beats us oh well. Losing to K was always personal. Nothing better than his bitter last loss at Cameron "this is unacceptable" speech to the crowd trying to honor him.
Give it time. If Scheyer and HD can hold it down for the long term, I think your hatred will return. All it takes is a few high impact losses with the conference regular season on the line, or for the ACCT ship, or back in the NCAAT.
I agree, it doesn’t feel as intense or tilting as it once did. But I think that’s more player turnover than the coaches. Hard for all of these transfers to have time to appreciate the rivalry for what it is. And hard for the fans to feel as invested, imo.
Maybe it’s also the fact that the unacceptable speech coupled with the FF win a month later is basically the peak, and it can’t really get much better than that.
With that said, **** dook.
Perceived value of conference titles seems to have gone down as well
that silly college student body
at the half
30.8 possessions
UCONN: 1.169 ppp
SJU: 1.201 ppp
at the half
33.5625 possessions
HOU: 0.834 ppp
KU: 1.281 ppp
Welcome to the Big12, Houston
at the half
36.6375 possessions
dook: 0.955 ppp
UNC: 1.228
**** dook.
that was an enjoyable 2 hours of cbb
Tenn/UK game has been fun
Whoever would have thought Rick Barnes would have a fun, extremely watchable team?
at the half
34.1875 possessions (felt like more to me)
Rocky Top: 1.346 ppp
UK: 1.229 ppp
Gonzaga has a game at UK next Saturday. If they lose that, I think you can almost rule them out of an at large bid. Would almost have to win the WCC tournament to get in with their ugly resume.

They definitely have to win the WCC tourney to get in. They're not even really that close to being a tournament team.
pathetic seeing a fan base twice throwing drinks and objects onto the court. what a joke
yeah it's kinda ridiculous they didn't get a tech. I guess it was the student section so prob just a bunch of entitled fans who had never seen their team not win the conference? either way it was lame...and extra tilting to me because I came home late to watch the game on delay and based on the length of the recording it looked like it was gonna go to OT but it was just a bunch of reviews.
