Mcqueen_tiny by Hawkeye State on in News




The Afternoon Schedule and Lines

12:15 -- Tennessee (-20) vs. American (O/U 141.5)
12:25 -- Gonzaga vs. Davidson (-1.5) (O/U 141)
12:30 -- Miami (pick) vs. St. Mary's (O/U 137.5)
12:30 -- Drake (-4) vs. Western Kentucky (O/U 140)

2:45 -- Butler (-4.5) vs. South Alabama (O/U 127)
2:55 -- Georgetown (-17) vs. UMBC (O/U 131.5)
3:00 -- Texas (-16) vs. Austin Peay (O/U 140.5)
3:00 -- Connecticut (-11.5) vs. San Diego (O/U 131)

For the record, I have Drake -4, San Diego +11.5, Gonzaga +1.5, Drake/WKU over 140, and Kige Ramsey eye rolls over 3.5...

I predict Drake will beat inbreeding by 6.  This is Hawkeye State for BHGP Sports.

Thread is open.  So is my beer.  Marchifornication continues.

Things look good so far

Am I the only one who didin't buy into the Davidson hype?

by Oops Pow Surprise on Mar 21, 2008 11:54 AM CDT   0 recs

Fuck yeah I bought it

It was a three-pack - Davidson, The Throp and George Mason.  I think I might need to speak with Customer Service about a return....

by Bucketochicken on Mar 21, 2008 12:02 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I did

Hook(er), line and sinker.  Dumb move.

Dude

Football season is over. New commercial please.

not so fast!

Davidson's coming back, yo.

Take a seat, OPS.

I know, but hated to see you leave in a huff

Your comment jackings are half the reason I leave anything!

Is Western

planning on missing any shots? Jesus Christ.

by Oops Pow Surprise on Mar 21, 2008 12:18 PM CDT   0 recs

Ridiculous shooting

I think the Fightin' Kiges shot about 70% in the first half. That, as they say, is unsustainable.

by Oops Pow Surprise on Mar 21, 2008 12:21 PM CDT   0 recs

No kidding

Just ask Villanova, circa 1985.

I hope it doesn't keep up, I want Drake to not lose until NEXT round.

by jason3kidd on Mar 21, 2008 12:23 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Desperate Logic
  1. WKU can't shoot that good in the second half. 2. They have to be in some sort of foul trouble.

by three and out the kok story on Mar 21, 2008 12:22 PM CDT   0 recs

Fouls

Are gonna cost WKU late.  As long as Drake can keep them from getting up by 15 or something, they'll be ok.  WKU has to miss eventually.

I die a little inside

every time I see Tyler Smith wearing that shitty orange

Mmmmmmmmmmmm...

***Runs to Kwip Trip and back***

Dammit, they don't have them anymore.

by storminspank on Mar 21, 2008 12:38 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah

He is insanely good.  I think he could have beaten half the Big Ten teams by himself.

by storminspank on Mar 21, 2008 12:37 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm just a communist

it certainly has nothing to do with the fact I have Tenn in my elite 8.

by three and out the kok story on Mar 21, 2008 12:48 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I only put them in the SXVI

So I'm hoping they lose and my bracket ends up only kinda fucked.

by Oops Pow Surprise on Mar 21, 2008 12:51 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Drake is hang-ging around, hang-ging around

48-43 Western, almost to the first media TO of the second half.

by Oops Pow Surprise on Mar 21, 2008 12:51 PM CDT   0 recs

its must thanksgiving

with all the fowls they are collecting

I'll be here all week, try the veal.

This looks bad for Drake

Their jumpers aren't falling and they're playin--jesus christ here comes a 4-point play

by Oops Pow Surprise on Mar 21, 2008 12:59 PM CDT   0 recs

Christ

neither are their layups, put-backs, 3-balls...

by Bucketochicken on Mar 21, 2008 1:02 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Stick a fork in 'em

Drake is playing like a bunch scared 6th graders.

No Over and Back?

Evans out.

HUGE foul.

Maybe.

by Bucketochicken on Mar 21, 2008 1:26 PM CDT   0 recs

Plenty of help from the refs for Western

There have been multiple instances where a ticky tack call has gone WKU's way. I'm not saying Drake should be winning or anything as wildly presumptive, but they've been taken out of positions where they had an opportunity to make a movie.

Take that blocking call. Cox had been stationary for about 5 seconds.

seriously

A. Morrison looks like he is going to cry again.

DAVIDSON

going to win.  Enjoy the hype!  Soak it in.

Korver

made that three from my living room

by Oops Pow Surprise on Mar 21, 2008 1:37 PM CDT   0 recs

Another ridiculous call

Emmenecker barely touched him. Nice flop, Mendez-Valdez.

by Oops Pow Surprise on Mar 21, 2008 1:39 PM CDT   0 recs

Drake's just not getting there

Missing shots they need, not converting the layup on the foul, cheap fouls on defense... I'm not optimistic, even though it's only a 4 point game.

by Oops Pow Surprise on Mar 21, 2008 1:43 PM CDT   0 recs

as usual

I am an idiot.

86-85 after a giant 3 by Young. 1:12 to go, WKU ball and the lead, timeout on the floor.

by Oops Pow Surprise on Mar 21, 2008 1:44 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Holy shit

These radio announcers are going crazy.  While stupid, they're giving me goosebumps.  Is the crowd 100% pro-Drake?  'cuz that's what it sounds like...

by jason3kidd on Mar 21, 2008 1:45 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

SOOOOOOOO glad

I skipped work!!  

by Bucketochicken on Mar 21, 2008 1:47 PM CDT   0 recs

WHOA

The huge charging call on WKU with 22 to play... Drake playing to win!!!!

by Oops Pow Surprise on Mar 21, 2008 1:48 PM CDT   0 recs

Overtime

Advantage.... Drake?

by Bucketochicken on Mar 21, 2008 1:50 PM CDT   0 recs

overtime, baby

I kinda wish they'd have blown the whistle on that last drive to the bucket, but I'll take 5 more minutes of play after that comeback. Holy crap.
