Basketball 2008-09 NCAA Basketball Discussion

It begins.

Duke wins their exhibition over Virginia Union 114-50. I was almost going to go but didn't want Landon to have to deal with it so I stayed home and I'm glad I did.

Six guys in double figures. D was apparently good. No injuries. Next.

UM has 3 games on National TV this year. I finally can be happy about College Basketball for UM. Last year was incredible and I can't wait till this year gets started.

- Ty Lawson

Posted for reference material.

Also h2h:

Greg: 17.3 ppg, 3 rpg, 4 apg, 1.3 stl (2 of them with broken foot)
Cheeze: 12.3 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 4 apg, 1.7 stl

Pretty funny a guy who gets arrested and then gets destroyed and humbled in NBA workouts in epic fashion and has to fall ass backwards back to school where he may be the worst of all the academic all-stars that school has covered up for the last 20 years is talking shit in October. Good. Bulletin board material.

Oh and, GP3 isn't the starter.

Thanks Ty. That verbal bomb was really necessary in October.

Also, Late Night with Roy is so gay. Gay Gay Gay. I dont know a single person that went, probably because I generally dont associate with gigantic tools. It really bothers me so many people show up, though plenty do because going to a night game can be pretty expensive/end late and this event is free.

JJ · October 25th, 2008, 09:31 PM

Wow. I'm glad/impressed you admit that. There were a shit ton of recruits at it. I'm not really certain its that great of a tool to use.

MiamiHomer · October 25th, 2008, 09:37 PM

Can't wait to see the Preseason Rankings which come out in 4 days.

JJ · October 25th, 2008, 09:39 PM

I'll do a ban bet that the Holes will be no. 1

From a recruits perspective I could imagine its not that bad of a tool. Despite the crappiness of the event the place is over capacity and crazy every year. Also a lot of the time of the event is dedicated to videos of last years team and the scrimmage at the end.

I guess what I'm saying is that even though you or I would find the whole event stupid, it is harmless fun and gives a recruit the impression that basketball is kind of a big deal here.

JJ · October 25th, 2008, 09:41 PM

True. I guess it is a big carnival for UNC basketball. Not like 'Ol Roy has a problem recruiting anyways.

BeefWillingham · October 25th, 2008, 09:54 PM

I think Im gonna watch the Magic opener instead of going to the FSU preseason opener.

JJ · October 26th, 2008, 05:10 PM

Jack McClinton is the best swingman in the nation according to this guy on ESPN.

Uh, wtf?

BeefWillingham · October 26th, 2008, 05:15 PM

I bet he will say the same thing about 1 guy during every conference preview

JJ · October 26th, 2008, 05:17 PM

Also that Singler/Hansbrough thing was dumb.

G will be the best player on Duke this year.

BeefWillingham · October 26th, 2008, 05:23 PM

Hansbrough gushes blood

Most humans do not gush blood; science.

BeefWillingham · October 26th, 2008, 05:38 PM

I hope that guy is right about Leonard and Co. though
