Villanova Sucks Butt.
Scoop will do silly things to Nova.
hey, you were right!
if scoop hitting two threes doesn’t qualify as silly then I don’t know what does :P

Pissed I have to read the game on the espn mobile live
Go cuse. Ps. The 2011 recruiting is looking strong. Trust in boeheim.

Kentucky and Kansas both lost today.
Blue teams lost to orange teams with the orange teams at home. Let’s make it 3 for 3!

I know it's just the regular season...
…but man, it would be REALLY cool to win tonight, with this many eyes on the program.

Wonder if a win would make us
jump UK and KU for #1.
I kind of doubt it. I think it probably would be KU SU UK etc…
Happiest moment of my day
Was learning bob knight is calling the game. Anyon
I love how he teaches while announcing
Now, who is refing

I don't like Burr either
but I think he’s the lesser of two evils between him and Higgins
by Rocklionheart on Feb 27, 2010 8:07 PM EST up reply actions
According to ESPN, Burr did ref the ND game
Now, hopefully Higgins got ‘Nancy Kerrigan-ed’ on his way to the dome.
Go Orange(men)!
Over Bob Knight's shoulder...
You can see Mookie Jones leaning up against the scorers table talking on his phone. Feel the excitement!
loved the crowd at noon
bowing at Boeheim when he was being interviewed
Careful
The Yoda guy will be all over you for that one

Is there a rule that if you want to listen to music during warm-ups
you have to use extremely large, expensive looking headphones?
My wife said the same thing
She said Wes had a set on, besides Triche doing his dribbling drills

What is ESPN's infactuation with Duke?
Special thanks to the Dukie, Jay Bilas, for pointing out Duke’s four losses.
And Digger Phelps just had to wear a yellow, clashing color for tonight’s game.

BOX OUT YOU ASSHOLES
"(BARF)" - Donovan McNabb, during his game winning drive against Virginia Tech in 1998
Agreed
The refs suck (a given), but can’t blame them for this crapfest. Sloppy turnovers, missed rebounds, poor shot selection. Certainly not playing like a top 5 team.
"(BARF)" - Donovan McNabb, during his game winning drive against Virginia Tech in 1998
Why can't we ever play a complete game?
We’re mediocre in one half and great in the other. Can’t keep that going into the tournament.
SCOOOOOOOOOOP
"(BARF)" - Donovan McNabb, during his game winning drive against Virginia Tech in 1998
How different is this game from a foul calling standpoint
just letting everything go right now as compared to the other game with the 35 fouls called
Go Orange(men)!
I hold my breath anytime scoop touches the ball
basically something ridiculous is bound to happen within 8 seconds
at least we're trying to get to the rim
we just need to be more patient and get it to our big guys
by Hak in Black on Feb 27, 2010 9:37 PM EST up reply actions
Started the game going to AO
Keep it going by feeding our big guys…getting Nova deeper in foul trouble.
'91 SU alum
get the game close at the half
with Nova in foul trouble, we will run them out in the 2nd.

good half
scoop has made some plays, makes me rally excited to have him back next year
also we’re on course for 92 points vs. nova? i’ll take it
The way we played early in the half, to be up 10 at the half?
Nice job, guys. Whatever you were doing there late in the half, keep it up.
not a bad half
would be better if rautins could find his mojo from the perimeter.

I think in taking Paul Harris' number, scoop also
Inherited the ability to go from “I love him” to “I hate him” and vice-versa in record time.
8 turnovers in first 11 min
1 turnover in last 9 minutes of half…
any wonder why we went on a run?

OK, not to get all Newhouse
But Erin Andrews is terrible. There are equally hot, more talented broadcaster for ESPN.
On the broadcasting or the hotness?
She sounds like she’s talking to a child when she interviews coaches.
this wouldnt be happening
