I'm guessing Southern sent Oral Roberts the same 1st Half Kool-Aid they were drinking yesterday.

MylesKnight · 03-17-2006, 02:45 PM

Watching the SIU/WVU Game.. Verne Lundquist keeps calling Northwestern State, Northwestern. "A great win by Northwestern today over the Hawkeyes..."

Get a clue man..

Northwestern is the school from the northside of Chicago that has never made the NCAA Tournament.

I know, I know, GE has been feeding me a lot of Memphis hype and i'm buying it all.

Tigercat · 03-17-2006, 02:48 PM

The question is, CUSA as it is now, is it a proper seasoning for a Number 1 seed? Nonconference slate was a long time ago.....

Karlifornia · 03-17-2006, 02:49 PM

Come on ORU!

And it's easy to hate Memphis with GoldenEagle's jingoism

JeeberD · 03-17-2006, 02:51 PM

*blink blink*

Young Drachma · 03-17-2006, 02:57 PM

ORU needs to settle down.

Warhammer · 03-17-2006, 02:58 PM

No they don't.

MylesKnight · 03-17-2006, 02:58 PM

Wow! Fellatio Roberts could be the one that finally pulls off the 16 over 1 shocker..

Monmouth seems to have wasted all of their scoring against Hampton.

Oh god, Nantz and Packer are doing the Philadelphia games.. Filthy Pirate Whores!

SackAttack · 03-17-2006, 03:03 PM

Lemme get this straight.

Oral Roberts' mascot is the Golden Eagle.

And GoldenEagle is rooting for Memphis.

Do I have that right?

saldana · 03-17-2006, 03:04 PM

16 freakin points????

16!!!???

*slams head against wall*

i cant believe they only scored 16 points in a half

(Monmouth U, class of 96)

LoneStarGirl · 03-17-2006, 03:05 PM

Haha good one Sack. When I first met GE I thought he liked the name GoldenEagle because of his high school, but nope, they were the Chargers. So go figure

LoneStarGirl · 03-17-2006, 03:06 PM

This Memphis game is really high scoring when you consider the rest of the games that went on in the first round. Memphis alone has scored more points than the Nova and Monmouth combined

GoldenEagle · 03-17-2006, 03:06 PM

Jump off the ORU wagon, haters.

Memphis is showing what it can do. Do not try to run with Memphis.

Butter · 03-17-2006, 03:07 PM

ORU is making a huge mistake playing a sagging 2-3 zone.

I would concur. I have tickets for the next weekend's games in Oakland. Can't wait to see Memphis fall on their face if they even make it that far.

I don't think that's it.

I turned the game on here in the newsroom and started rooting for ORU.

TroyF and JeeberD can tell you all about my sports curse.

I firmly believe it's that, and not Memphis, that's in control right now.

A month ago, that was the formula to beat Memphis, sit in a zone and dare them to shoot you out of the gym.

LoneStarGirl · 03-17-2006, 03:15 PM

I am suprised to see Allen doing so well. He is not exactly known for his outside shooting.

8 of 14 from three says it ain't workin'.

Young Drachma · 03-17-2006, 03:29 PM

These kids get so tentative when the game is on the line. That's the main difference I see between the "experienced" teams versus those that are not. Obviously, the kids that get some breaks or can make the best use of their opportunities pull out the wins in the end. But so many of these teams that are underdogs don't know how to suck the life out of their opponents when they're up.

Is it the lack of a killing instinct not just by the players, but by their coaches who are too busy focusing on the idea of "omg, we might beat this great team. Maybe I can leave this school and get a better coaching gig?"

kingfc22 · 03-17-2006, 03:32 PM

I love the fact that my CBS HD channel shows a different game then my regular CBS channel.

2 games instead of 1. Woot!

SackAttack · 03-17-2006, 03:36 PM

Wow, Georgetown might've just done NIowa a solid with Hibbert fouling out.

GoldenEagle · 03-17-2006, 03:36 PM

I will say this. There is no way Oral Roberts is a number 16 team. They are good.

SackAttack · 03-17-2006, 03:38 PM

Need to hit those FT's, though.

Sure as hell they're not hitting anything else.

kingfc22 · 03-17-2006, 03:38 PM

How is Allen Ray playing today for those who are watching the Nova/Monmouth game?

SackAttack · 03-17-2006, 03:41 PM

HUGE 3 for Northern Iowa, but that 0-9 streak to start the half sunk 'em, I think.

Young Drachma · 03-17-2006, 03:44 PM

Bad day for the state of Iowa.

LoneStarGirl · 03-17-2006, 03:50 PM

Didn't somebody say they had Southern Illinois in the sweet 16?

kingfc22 · 03-17-2006, 03:57 PM

Monmouth is trying to make a game out of this.

Swaggs · 03-17-2006, 03:59 PM

West Virginia is having their best game in over a month. Glad to see them come out with a good performance.

The want the record for 16th seed that's come the closest to winning...Fairleigh Dickinson, another Jersey school is currently the school with that distinction.

Good thing I decided to choose them.

Swaggs · 03-17-2006, 04:01 PM

Wow. This is the first time WVU has advanced past the first round in consecutive seasons since the 1959-60 season... back in the days of Jerry West.

LoneStarGirl · 03-17-2006, 04:19 PM

i am four for four in this little session.

JeeberD · 03-17-2006, 04:23 PM

20-5 overall so far with only one sweet sixteen team out. Not too shabby.

Edit: Make that 19-5. For some reason I already have Pitt highlighted as a win...

Umm, I said that not as a result of Memphis beating down ORU or not. They should beat down ORU. But did playing in a much weakened CUSA for months and then playing against ORU prepare Memphis for the upcoming tougher competition? I don't think so. Maybe they will have the ability to step up anyway, but I feel more confident with teams that have been properly tested week in and week out for the past few months.

GoldenEagle · 03-17-2006, 05:02 PM

Who really cares how confident you feel?

Dola, my bad, I shouldn't be posting a sports opinion on a sports message boad. No one cares about discussing sports opinions on message boards. Memphis is a 1 seed so it is clear they are fully ready to make it to the Final Four.

GoldenEagle · 03-17-2006, 05:21 PM

Memphis earned the 1 seed. Nanme a team that deserved the 1 seed over Memphis?

LSU? HAHAHAHAH!
