“Nope. That Big-12 team we played was beaten by ANOTHER SEC-West team this past Saturday.”

“We play Utah tonight. Next weekend we play Xavier, then conference play starts.”

“Now that the Tigers finally have all their players eligible, they look pretty impressive. This could be Calipari's breakout year.

Hopefully we will make the big dance (somehow being in the Final Four and then winning the post season NIT just didn't cut it here the past two years).”

“We played horrible tonight! Far from a #1 team! Way too many turnovers!”

“and of all teams! utah! grrrrr!”

“and only shot 41%. Sounds like an ugly game. 19-9 at the half? The Tide missed nine of its first 10 shots.

Utes Upset No. 1 Alabama, 51-49, For 1,500th Win”

“It was an ugly, ugly game. They outscrapped us. The halftime score was tied at 19-19. We had a chance at the end just couldn't finish. That's the way the ball bounces.

Utah was LOUD. I listened on the radio and you could really hear the homecrowd. Our fans could take a lesson.”

“Bye bye, Bama!
(Hey, it was bound to happen.)
I think KU is back on track, but we are still hurting for a sixth and seventh man.
Hey, let's just put Puke at #1 for the rest of the year and then whup them in the tourney.”

“Sounds like a winner to me Dunny!

If I can get through the season with only having to listen to 2 or 3 of Vitale's Puke lovefest, then I'll count it a good one.”

“It's gonna be a crazy BB season, just like in football. I would suggest that you keep your money in your pocket this year, 'cause there ain't no sure things.
Who was it that just whipped North Carolina the other day? Some little school with no tradition, as I remember it. They sure were skying high after beating KU, which is understandable. Now, it's back to reality time.
By the way, good luck against Xavier, Bama. They can be a dangerous team.”

“And Jawja beat #2 Pitt. It's gonna be another wild ride, I concur, Dunadan.”

“I'm still publicly declaring that Forida is going to win against Alabama in their first meeting, this season. I think the bubble has burst for the Tide, although they will continue to be strong, and get into the Tourney again.
Kansas plays Univ. of Missouri at KC, (not Missouri U), tomorrow. This should come up to the level of a good scrimmage, if the boys come out and put it away early.
Hang on for a wild ride, everyone. It's gonna be a great season.”

“My beloved Tide stunk it up at Vandy the other night. I just hope they can regain their composure against Mississippi State tonight. Roll Tide!”

“Well, at least you got the 1st part of your trailname right. Just think, you could be an Arkansas fan.”

“arc dubbed me Goober from Bama, so I ran with it. Actually, Goober is from Jasper Alabama.”

“You could be an Arkansas fan,,or you could be a Memphis fan....Southern Miss ripped Memphis a new one Saturday.”

“AU is so-so this year and they killed Southern Miss. That's not a good sign.”

“This is the Memphis team that beat both Syracuse and Illinois”

“Syracuse beat UConn a few nights ago. The B-ball season is shaping up pretty crazy as well.”

“yes it is....March should be interesting.”

“I have decided that Coach Kqwpskfmbzjrtrjczwski is not human. He's either RoboCoach or something the aliens cloned. He's not like us I tell ya!”

“Lobos. Sheesh. They have some promise, but this year will be tough. Came very close to handing Wyoming, defending Mountain West Champs and favored to win the Mountain West this year, a loss on their home court. That is a very rare event.”

“i hate basketball......”

“We suck”

“OMG! Somebody throw Alabama a lifeline. They are drowning fast.

Hey Cocoa Williams, how does it feel to be 15-2 & not be ranked while Bama loses every other game?

Dunadan, looks like KU is quietly playing well.”

“I feel your pain.”

“Will Alabama beat Auburn in any sport this year?

Just kidding. We'll see how good Auburn is this week. They play at UK and at UGA. If they win one or two of those games we're in business”

“UNM women are looking good this year. Drew over 13,000 to their most recent game in The Pit.”

“pathman,,,sounds like UT...the women usually outdraw the men...”

“Whats wrong with us dayhiker? I can't take much more of this basketball season. Grrrr.. it just makes me sooo mad!”

“the ladyhogs are lookin great and..



THE MEN BEAT LSU TONGIHT! WOOHOO! first SEC victory for stan heath!

man, i love basketball...”

“I can show my face on a basketball thread again. My Wolfpack dismantled the Duke Blue Devils.

Whooohooooo!!!!!!”

“my 8 yr old team is called the blue devils...we tied last wek. my 11 yr old's team is the EVIL PENGUINS....0-3”

“UNM Lobos 107-49 Win Over Western New Mexico.

14,000 in the Pit for a gimme.”

“Memphis finally puts two halves of basketball together for a conference win over Houston.”

“Coach Krqkjfhtrnwpcjwski is going daft?”

“Uncle Dunny!
Collison 25 points & 24 rebounds! Somebody give that man a gatorade. Great game. Good win for Rock Chalk Jayhawk.”

“ok dayhiker, we totally suck! I dont even want to watch anymore!”

“UNM vs UNLV in 30 min on ESPN. I don't think I can stay up.

The Lobos are showing signs of life. Beat San Diego State this weekend. Very young team, lost several to injuries and a new coach make for a rocky start this year.

Senque Carey, who was temporarily paralyzed after a fall earlier in the season, had surgery at Stanford today. Two bad disks in his neck and narrowing of the spinal canal.”

“so much for revival. They lost.”

“Looks like Collison only had 24 points & 23 rebounds. Can't he play better than that?”

“LOL arky,,,yeah that extra point and rebound would have made all the difference in the world.”

“I'm not sure who sank faster, the Titanic or Alabama's basketball team.”

“This isn't the first time they have over-rated Bama and then we sunk real fast. Same thing happened with the football team a couple of years ago.”

“Florida, watch 'em!”

“Stanford Upsets No. 1 Arizona 82-77”

“Go Cardinal! Woo-hoo!!!”

“KU plays one half of brilliant basketball against Arizona. Unfortunately it was the wrong half.
Then KU goes on to beat the #3 team in the nation. Nick Collison gets 24 points and TWENTY THREE rebounds. If any player gets 23 rebounds against Texas again this year, I will take the entire TT contingent out for beers.
It's a crazy season, reminiscent of the college football season. Can't wait for the NCAA tourney.”

“Thank you for your mercy TRUE BASKETBALL GOD, I mean Dunadan.”

“Until I rightfully take it over during the tournament.
Actually, there are at least fifteen teams that could make a run through the tournament, and Florida is, indeed, one of them. When that Nelson is on, it is hard to stop them. If Alabama wants to get back on track, they should measure themselves against the Gators.
I think Texas is actually a more talented team than Arizona, but Lute is a better coach.
Wish we played a home and home with New Mexico. Would give me a good excuse to go to The Pit.
Good luck the rest of the season, folks.”
