How much longer...
I swear this has been the longest 4 hours of my life waiting for this game to start. I CANT WAIT ANY LONGER!!!!

I hope our game is not like the early games! Awful.

Isn't it amazing though
The recipe for success is getting that early lead. If you look at Louisville and Oklahoma, they both jumped out to early leads and never looked back. The only good game so far has been the Pitt-Xavier game.

Correction
Not “good game” but close game.

gotta make a run
we gotta take the lead and get some confidence
by coltinjespersen on Mar 27, 2009 7:18 PM PDT reply actions
if we decide to play some defense
we would probably be winning.
by coltinjespersen on Mar 27, 2009 7:24 PM PDT reply actions
recipe for success
pargo in foul trouble, austin daye nowhere to be found, no defense and turnovers
this is gonna get ugly really fast
by coltinjespersen on Mar 27, 2009 7:34 PM PDT reply actions
UNC is shooting
66% from the field and 66% from 3 point

How Come Every Year...
We get the teams that just happen to hit every shot they take.
It never fails.
you take the hand that your dealt
every team has to overcome some type of adversity to win and unfortunately for us we cant handle it

I don't think so
UNC has to come back down to earth a bit, if for no other reason than they have to regress to the mean at least a little. The question is, can you take advantage by cleaning up defensive rebounds and then pushing it? You guys are forcing it a little right now, and trust me — after what I saw last year, that’s exactly what UNC wants you to do.
idk, just looking at every other elite 8 game minus pitt-xavier
the team that has started off with the lead has dominated and thus far this game is no different
by coltinjespersen on Mar 27, 2009 7:45 PM PDT up reply actions
I don't think we will
Again… second half team. We shouldn’t be. But we are.
We’ll make it interesting.
It’s called optimism.
a nice run before half
would definitely be nice
by coltinjespersen on Mar 27, 2009 7:45 PM PDT reply actions
fouls could be a problem
pargo-3
heytfelt-2
daye-2
meech-2
by coltinjespersen on Mar 27, 2009 7:51 PM PDT reply actions
Here's what we know.
We are a second half team. Can’t play much worse. Matt should play better. We need to punch them early.

No doubt.
Maybe it can get worse

lol they aint even showing the game anymore

There's a kid I'm living with next year.
Who is a UNC fan? Why would you go here and root against us in the tournament? Ridiculous.
We are not playing
Up to expectation. Anyone else think Few will be in the Pac-10 next year?
Yep.
I’m sorry. But this is stupid. The last line I saw was 6 points. Not 22.
what a way to end the season eh
going out with a bang like we usually do
by coltinjespersen on Mar 27, 2009 8:37 PM PDT reply actions
Well...
Oregon and Arizona will be looking for new coaches.
Hansbrough
I don’t think anyone’s style bugs me more than his. How about that shoulder into Goodson?
Well... It's recruiting time for the blog!

What do you mean for recruiting time?
Talking about the recruits for next year? Or recruiting new bloggers?
Maybe both
It’d be great to have a number of opinions but we love recruiting. That is our big thing. Get ready for a good offseason with plenty of hope!
