Basketball Christmas Open Thread: Thursday Night

by Hawkeye State on Mar 20, 2008 5:18 PM CDT in News

We've reached halftime on day one. Seven games are done (with an eighth in progress) with no sign of anything resembling an upset.

It's the Night of the Freshmen. As you know, we here at BHGP love some good, old-fashioned High School Highlights. We love things like this:

Or this:

Or especially this:

Enjoy watching the kids. Thread is open.

I enjoy this highlight

What highlights?

Damn you work server ban on youtube!

I'm ashamed of you gentlemen

All this preoccupation with basketball highlights and you neglect this masterpiece?

by Oops Pow Surprise on Mar 20, 2008 5:44 PM CDT 0 recs

Yeah, I'm going to hell for saying it

But I laugh my ass off everytime I see that clip, not only because the kid gets pegged, but because he nails the floor too.

Pants Status Update

Duke leading Belmont only 26-25 with under 7 minutes to go in the first half.

I'm not telling you folks to whip the pants off, but you might want to think about closing some doors and blinds right now.

I hope

the Hawkeyes go after his brother, Evian Horseradish.

Winthrop v. Wazzu

This announcer saying Rochestie is getting my brain scrambled. He says it like "Raw Chesty", reminds me of a move in a cheap porno.

Winthrop to beat WSU. Hopefully.

Jsut

I've got The 'Throp in my Sweet 16. Go Throp!!!

Also, the dudes in the studio online (the two coaches and the goofball) are leaps and bounds better than pretty much everyone on Real TV. Even with the coughing.

Play-In, natch

Ok, UNC.

Fark Sports headline of the day

Virginia Tech's leading rusher last year is kicked off team for poor attitude. You know who else had a poor attitude at Virginia Tech?

Holy Shit

GO BELMONT!!

by chitownhawkeye on Mar 20, 2008 7:40 PM CDT up 0 recs

BELMONT LEADS

We gain one potential upset

and lose one as USC ties up K state

by chitownhawkeye on Mar 20, 2008 7:48 PM CDT 0 recs

I tentatively put them in the Sweet 16, but I have so little confidence in them that I put Purdue in the Elite 8, thinking that the odds weren't great that they'd actually be facing Duke in that game.

Do I even want to know

what you're doing in a hotel?

At 7:55:55 p.m.

storminspank began ordering grown men to remove their pants.

And the record shall so reflect.

by Oops Pow Surprise on Mar 20, 2008 7:57 PM CDT up 0 recs

Wow.

K-State is ex-plo-sive.

by Bucketochicken on Mar 20, 2008 7:55 PM CDT 0 recs

Yea

Wisky's chances at getting to the Sweet 16: 0.0%

by storminspank on Mar 20, 2008 7:56 PM CDT 0 recs

I dunno

I think Wisky could beat either of these teams.

by Bucketochicken on Mar 20, 2008 7:57 PM CDT up 0 recs

PANTS ARE OFF

65-64 Duke, 4:48 to go, talk of "slicing and dicing the dookies" (why would you ever do that?! that's disgusting!) running rampant.

Heh-heh

Unbelievable no-call.

Winthrop lulling WSU into false sense of security

65-34 with 4 and change to play. Clever move, Eagles.

You know what I love most

about this time of the year?
I don't watch much bball. And I watch almost no out of conference games.
But here I am, at work, yelling at the computer over a game with 2 teams I haven't watched this year, and normally would have no interest in. And it's the third game today that's been that way.
I love March madness!
