Nova vs Lville In game thread

ryanXL977 · 03-13-09, 06:28 PM

i am curious how the hell ul's offense could hang with UNC. they beat people with d, not o.

ryanXL977 · 03-13-09, 06:31 PM

i hope ul gets their heads out of their asses
7 turnovers in 10 minutes and 35% shooting is garbage
come the **** on

Mac4Lyfe · 03-13-09, 06:32 PM

I'm on Nova... I think they have the best shot of making a run to the final four of all the Big East teams (I wrote up about them last week).

I don't have a bunch on them today so I wouldn't be hurt if you win. Good luck to us both.

ryanXL977 · 03-13-09, 06:33 PM

i have bet ul 3 times this yr

two of the times they have looked like shit (tonite, and vs marquette at home)

the other time they beat wvu

i guess theyre good but i dont see how

ryanXL977 · 03-13-09, 06:37 PM

a great defense
and a brutal offense
i dont get this team

ul ****in sucks

ryanXL977 · 03-13-09, 06:38 PM

9 turnovers
16 pts
in 15 minutes
this is a championship team?

unde0087 · 03-13-09, 06:40 PM

someone should let Ville know they don't shoot the 3 very well

ryanXL977 · 03-13-09, 06:42 PM

or the 2

Mac4Lyfe · 03-13-09, 06:42 PM

I'm not high on the Big East at all. Despite the constant fawning by the media. Pitt, Uconn and UL have all shown me that they can have difficulty in scoring. If you make these teams jump shooters they are going to lose. They also don't seem to have a high Basketball IQ. I don't think any of them will make the final four. JMO

ryanXL977 · 03-13-09, 06:44 PM

cuse has no trouble scoring, i dont see how any of these teams could handle unc
i really dont
its an awful offensive conference

unde0087 · 03-13-09, 06:44 PM

OH shit, just wait you will be the big east homers in here tearing you up over that comment

ryanXL977 · 03-13-09, 06:46 PM

no denying ul is the best defense in the nation
but what does it matter when you have no pg andnot one guy who can shoot outside of 9 feet, other than t williams

tullamore · 03-13-09, 06:50 PM

The Louisville relies on 3 too much. They will just jack up 3's all day. If they e come more patience and discipline on offense they would be better off.

Chi_archie · 03-13-09, 06:52 PM

i'm not sure what to make of any teams anymore...I'm loving this..... every dog is barking all the top seeds are looking weak...

which conference is it easier to score in ACC or Big East ya think?

tullamore · 03-13-09, 06:55 PM

What is the advantage of winning your conference tournament, if you are a top team? Seems to me you might be better with the rest if you are guaranteed a spot in the dance. Is their really a difference between a 1 and a 2 seed?

ryanXL977 · 03-13-09, 06:55 PM

i remember the old days when the BE used to produce so much offensive talent, : ray allen, tim thomas, iverson, kittles.

pitt has not one decent nba prospect, nor does uconn other than thabeet.
cuse has flynn who will be a stud in the nba. but generally, there is nobody in the big east who i can see being good in the nba compared to the guys at wake, unc, and other acc teams

i know that doesnt mean the acc is better. but where is the offense in the BE? ul simply has zero offense. none

unde0087 · 03-13-09, 06:56 PM

ACC, most in the ACC like to push the tempo, Big East looks to set up plays and run clock

ryanXL977 · 03-13-09, 06:58 PM

ul would get throttled by unc. cuse could beat unc. thats the thing, ul has nowhere to go to score, they have nothing to do but play d, same as pitt. they have no answers if they get down 10

maybe marquette and nova and cuse can , but pitt and ul cant score.

very saddened to see ul play today
garbage thus far

unde0087 · 03-13-09, 07:00 PM

that is where the misconception comes in for the ACC, they don't play this slower type of game, they play defense but part of their defense is offense, it is demoralizing for teams to score then look up and see someone dunking on the other end 3 seconds later, it basicly erased what the other team did.

Chi_archie · 03-13-09, 07:00 PM

I think Sam Young can score at any time when he is on.... but he wasn't on in the last game obviously..

If you look at points scored per game over the last 10-12 games for Pitt and UNC I think you might be suprised how much a team like Pitt can put up in a conference that is harder to score in.....

ryanXL977 · 03-13-09, 07:04 PM

im just bitter i laid -180 on ul

i am now officially cheering for cuse vs washington

but seriously, ul cannot score. its not debateable is it? chi? counter argument on ul offense?

unde0087 · 03-13-09, 07:04 PM

ya, but with UNC no matter who they play, where they play, or what style the other teams tries to play, the other team knows they will have to score at least 76 points, you can't say that about Pitt

ryanXL977 · 03-13-09, 07:05 PM

we will find out soon enough, but i htink archie would agree that if unc went out before elite 8, he would be suprised, but if ul or pitt did, he would not be

My only concern with UNC, is can they get a defensive stop or two when they need too. Teams have scored at will on them at times this year, part of this is because of the tempo UNC plays at results in the other team scoring more than they normally do. If a team slows the game down how will UNC react. I think Roy Williams is a poor coach, LAwson is the key for UNC.

Duke and VT tried to slow the pace against UNC. Its one thing to try and another to actually be able to do it

ryanXL977 · 03-13-09, 07:19 PM

honestly, until the 2nd pitt loss, i thought uconn was the best. its all guessing, i dont know ncaa bball, i like to debate it but im "talking out of my ass" and im a dummy. i know nba and mlb, so anyhting i say on ncaa bball is emotional and based upon not too many games, except pac10 ball

ryanXL977 · 03-13-09, 07:22 PM

lets go REDBIRDS

ryanXL977 · 03-13-09, 07:25 PM

can they win without their best player? shit
now tony delk is in

****in delk

unde0087 · 03-13-09, 07:26 PM

Nova with yet another collapse

unde0087 · 03-13-09, 07:27 PM

Maryland is dancing if they can finish the route they got going

ryanXL977 · 03-13-09, 07:27 PM

I thought Duke did well in their last meeting. Duke just couldn't hit shots in the second half, they were getting looks and nothing was falling. Also Duke got no rebounds, because they have no size. But their were things that Duke did in that game, that other teams will copy.

ryanXL977 · 03-13-09, 07:30 PM

duke could not hit a layup that last game, i agree. and they have really only two players worth a damn in singler and hendersons. the flopping is obnoxious also, it really is. but you nailed that game spot on

ryanXL977 · 03-13-09, 07:33 PM

if i were a ul fan, id be worried shitless bc they simply have no point guard
nobody close to a point guard
is it that hard to recruit a pg?
