Uconn vs Nova

[hockey0001]

No way that Uconn loses this game. Its the biggest game ever at Gampel. People have been camping outto get the best seats since 8:30 wednesday morning. The crowd is gonna be insane and the team wants revenge for the loss a few days ago. Uconn wins 77-70

[leafsacc]

I came home for the weekend just to make sure i could watch this game. I'm pumped, it's going to be crazy inside Gampel. There is no reason Uconn shouldn't pull this off. If they didn't they can pretty much say goodbye to a #1 seed.

[justinevans]

does nova clinch the big east with a win?

[LeftWideOpen]

I think Rudy Gay wil step up once again on the boards and w/ his shooting, but this time at home I expect him to have a little help. Boone and Armstrong were pretty awful last time, but I think they'll come up w/ much more productive games and I don't see Williams turning the ball over 6 times again. Nova keeps it close, but I like UCONN 73-68.

[hockey0001]

I see Boone having a huge game. Last game he was in foul trouble so didnt have much of an impact.

[chroma23]

I want Nova to win but I think UConn gets it 69-64.

[Yankees' #1 Fan]

has uconn played in these throwbacks during any other game this year?

[LeftWideOpen]

Gay is down. uh-oh

edit: just looks like he got poked in the eye. he's good.

[hockey0001]

has uconn played in these throwbacks during any other game this year?

yes. like 5 times atleast.


shit. gays down

[leafsacc]

yes. like 5 times atleast.


shit. gays down

really? five times? wow, guess i don't pay much attention to jerseys.

[hockey0001]

really? five times? wow, guess i don't pay much attention to jerseys.

theyve been wearing them the last 3 or 4 home games, and once or twice earlier in the season.

[hockey0001]

fuck 2 fouls on boone, he's done for the first half and who knows when Gay will be back

edit. gay's back

[leafsacc]

theyve been wearing them the last 3 or 4 home games, and once or twice earlier in the season.

that's why i don't remember them, the last few home games haven't been on national tv except for the Syracuse game.

Rashad Anderson and the rest of the team needs to make those shot under the basket today, they can't throw those away like they did two weeks ago.

[LeftWideOpen]

this has been a sloppy game so far. having a hard time getting too excited about it.

[Jason Tate]

Nova by 1. Uconn flubs their last attempt.

[hockey0001]

so apparently blatant elbows to the face arent gonna get called

[Jason Tate]

Are you guys playing Temple too???

[leafsacc]

nice shot by Rahad Anderson.

[Jason Tate]

How is the crowd now louder? Come on .. #2 vs #4 and the crowd is barely heard ... I'm dissapointed UConn fans.

[hockey0001]

because the university gives too many tickets to alumni and season tickets, not enough for the students.

if this was being played at the civic center it would be silent, Uconn almost never has a real home court advantage.

[hockey0001]

Armstrong BLOCK!!!
Anderson THREE!!!

[leafsacc]

Uconn is turning the tables on nova with these ridiculous 3's.

[hockey0001]

someone needs to till Williams and Adrien to get rid of the red shoes

[whitelines]

allan ray is srlsy too good.

[Jason Tate]

Jim Calhoun is an idiot. Why are you playing a small line up? WTF. I wouldn't do that for more then 2 minutes.

Edit: Weird, the announcer just said that too.

Boone has 2 fouls, he's done for the half and Gay was injured/playing awful defense so he was benched for a bit.

[itsjdiggity]

Ray Allen vs Allan Ray

[leafsacc]

that was such a travel.

[Drew Beringer]

Fuck UConn. Go Nova!

[Drew Beringer]

These officials suck ass.

[hockey0001]

These officials suck ass.

yea, theyve been pretty terrible for both teams

[hockey0001]

Rudy with the slam

[Drew Beringer]

yea, theyve been pretty terrible for both teams

Exactly, so at least they are consistant haha. I just wish for once that we could get some good officials for a game of this calibar.

[hockey0001]

agreed

[leafsacc]

not a bad first half for uconn considering Boone didn't play much, Hilton Armstrong is having a big game.

[preppyak]

yea, theyve been pretty terrible for both teams
These officials suck ass.
I've noticed for some reason that Big 12 refs seem to be really good actually, while other conferences are hit or miss.

I know the KU game was well officiated last night, as was the Oklahoma game a few weeks back, yet games like Duke and UConn games always have that taint of bad officials

[Drew Beringer]

BANKER! hahaha

[hockey0001]

goddammit, thats the 2nd banked 3 pointer for nova

[leafsacc]

Shane Clark? ugly shot.

[Jason Tate]

Fuck UConn. Go Nova!
:)

[hockey0001]

Adrien played well also. Hopefully Boone steps up in the 2nd half

yeah the ACC is certainly lacking in the officiating department. Not just for Duke games either ..it's consistently bad for all the teams, 1-12.

The NCState / BC yesterday had calls where I litterally was looking at the TV with a slack jaw.

i know. its been borderline pathetic. the nfl playoffs officiating > acc officiating.

[Drew Beringer]

i know. its been borderline pathetic. the nfl playoffs officiating > acc officiating.

Would we go really that far? The NFL officials are always bad. hahaha

[justinevans]

i hate uconn

[LeftWideOpen]

i think uconn will be in good shape if they can keep Boone out on the floor. I dont know how much longer they can go without him underneath the boards. Allan Ray needs to pick it up for Nova too, as does Lowry. Both are having pretty bad shooting days.

[Drew Beringer]

UConn's shotblocking is insane. But no lead is safe vs Nova, they can explode at 3 anytime of the game.

[Jason Tate]

Going with goaltend o nthat one.

[Jason Tate]

Marcus Williams is a fucking bitch. Gettin a T? What a cock. Tfis attitude is why Uconn doesn't win the NCAA; and why I always cheer against them.

[Jason Tate]

i know. its been borderline pathetic. the nfl playoffs officiating > acc officiating.
Not even close!

[NetNerdsRevenge]

haha, they just called him rudy guy

[hockey0001]

Marcus Williams is a fucking bitch. Gettin a T? What a cock. Tfis attitude is why Uconn doesn't win the NCAA; and why I always cheer against them.

Youre right. Cause hes the only player to ever get a T. And even the announcers are wondering what it is for, since they didnt see anything

[preppyak]

Marcus Williams is a fucking bitch. Gettin a T? What a cock. Tfis attitude is why Uconn doesn't win the NCAA; and why I always cheer against them.
Yeah, well it's a player like that that can taint your entire team...though it's not just him that has the attitude

i know. its been borderline pathetic. the nfl playoffs officiating > acc officiating.
haha, ouch

[Drew Beringer]

Rudy Gay is such a soft player. His ass is gonna get eaten alive in the pros.

[leafsacc]

you're right.

[Drew Beringer]

you're right.

And I'm not trying to be a dick to UConn fans either, but it's so true. I pity the NBA team who wastes their lottery pick on him.

[hockey0001]

Rashad hits so many clutch 3's

[Drew Beringer]

Rashad hits so many clutch 3's

I'd take him over Gay anyday.

[hockey0001]

I'd take him over Gay anyday.

Shooting 3's its not even close. Rashad is the best on UConn

[Drew Beringer]

Oh shit, Ray is catching fire!

[LeftWideOpen]

he has the sean marshall disease. although dudley can be stupid from time to time, too.

[preppyak]

Rudy Gay is such a soft player. His ass is gonna get eaten alive in the pros.
I've been saying that since January when I first saw him play then, he lacks the killer instinct. He has an incredible amount of potential though, he just needs to realize it

[hockey0001]

He's been improving all season and has been much better lately.

[hockey0001]

bullshit!!!!

[Drew Beringer]

That's no intentional foul. I hate UConn, but that's a bad call.

[LeftWideOpen]

bad call. surprise surprise

[leafsacc]

bad call on that intentional foul, but wow was that a nasty play.

[preppyak]

bad call. surprise surprise
haha, seems like a trend

[Drew Beringer]

Ray is badass.

[Drew Beringer]

Shit, Ray has 4 fouls, fuck.

[hockey0001]

Rashad again!!

[leafsacc]

Rashad Anderson is amazing.

[hockey0001]

Rashad Anderson is amazing.

pretty much

[Drew Beringer]

Man, once Ray went out, UConn took over.

[leafsacc]

This win came a lot easier than i thought it would.

[ktb3]

UCONN is going to be your National Champion.

[Drew Beringer]

UCONN is going to be your National Champion.

Hahahahahahahahahhahaaha, please. They'll be lucky to make to Sweet 16.

[justinevans]

oh well, neutral court time from here on in.

[hockey0001]

Hahahahahahahahahhahaaha, please. They'll be lucky to make to Sweet 16.

hahahahahah...ok

[NameTaken69]

UCONN is going to be your National Champion.
idk about that, in order for that to happen rudy gay will have to stop being a pussy and settling for fade away 19 footers. if he took it to the basket every time he would either get fouled or score, but hes too soft for that contact.

[LeftWideOpen]

i still have no idea who the national champ will be. such a crazy year. Conference tourney's are huge this year in assessing who's who when it comes to being a contender.

[leafsacc]

Hahahahahahahahahhahaaha, please. They'll be lucky to make to Sweet 16.

We'll see. They did just handle the #2 in the country.

[sweethypocrisy]

We'll see. They did just handle the #2 in the country.
what does that mean? G'Town handled the number one in the country, are they gonna be the national champs?

[NameTaken69]

what does that mean? G'Town handled the number one in the country, are they gonna be the national champs?
very valid point, but i like georgetown so i will say yes to your question, they will be national champs

[LeftWideOpen]

what does that mean? G'Town handled the number one in the country, are they gonna be the national champs?

you are quite the philosopher. Georgetown and UConn have so much in common, too.

All-americans ..oh wait. Thats just UConn
Former #1 ranking .. oh wait. Thats just UConn
Legendary coach ...oh wait. Thats just UConn

Not a very well thought out argument. I don't even like UConn, but thats some stupid logic you have going on.

[G-Unit]

if this was being played at the civic center it would be silent, Uconn almost never has a real home court advantage.

so true, i feel like nova is hurt the same way. great win at gampel, my friend waited in line since 8am and was in upper student section. kids were out there since wednesday.
