Was at the game last night at the Dome and was most impressed with Uconn. They transition so fast you'd think they played with 6 men on the court at all times. Their defense was amazing and took SU out of the game early. A couple of highlights for SU, McCroskey had a dunk in the first half where he went over Uconns Armstrong that must have made the highlight reels, Onuaku the freshman has great size and strength and could be a great player if he develops, Leo Rautins kid is another frewshman that has the look of a star, but only time will tell. Anyway, the Dome was rockin with 26K+, but Uconn was clearly the better team last night. Williams, Boone, Gay & Anderson all looked like NBA'ers, they should go far in March. The game was not as close as the score would indicate, thankfully my buddy has 6th row floor seats and we had an excellent view of the dance squad and cheerleaders. :D

If/when Williams reverts to pre-laptop scandal form and Gay realizes his potential and starts demanding the ball... it's over. Just give us another frigging title.
I'm glad you had such an amazing view of... the game.

There were times that I needed a distraction, looking at hot coeds worked for me.
Williams was the most impressive player for Uconn & IMO the MVP of that game. He shut G-Mac down completely, and SU needs him to win games. I believe he made off with 2 more laptops from press row, but it happened so fast, nobody knows for sure. :-)

Williams
is lightning quick
He has a fallback career as a pickpocket if the NBA thing doesn't pan out.
I missed the game... been battling the flu and forgot all about it.
See ya Feb 8th for the rematch?

I'd put my $'s on Uconn, they're that good. SU has some promising young guys, but are not in the same league as Uconn this year. Uconn has several guys that can step up and are solid through 8 or 9 guy's. That kind of depth will be key in March.
I won't be traveling to Conn for the game. Going to Cuse is only an hour away so it isn't too bad, allthough last nights 9pm start sucked, I didn't get home until after 1am. Sure wish I had some hot coeds in my office to look at. :D

I meant see you around the board.

We'll have to 'chat' during the days leading up to the game... maybe mix in some smack or whatnot. I didn't know you were a 'Cuse fan. I thought only Special Agent FU was.
I'm just glad the real season is coming into full swing. We're traveling to Syracuse and Louisville this week instead of back to back home games against Stony Brook and Morehead St... like last month, ya dig?

I'm a fan of SU because it's close, and until Binghamton University (go Bearcats

) turned D1, was the only major team around. My best friend is an alumni and has season tickets on the floor, I have found it to be in my best interest to root for the Orange when surrounded by hardcore 'Cuse fans. :-)
We can toss some smack arounf if you want, but I don't care that much about it. I just like watching college hoops, and cheerleaders. We can throw a sig bet on it if you want. It may have to revolve around the line or the over/under.

Unlike Crown, I root for the same school in both college football and college basketball, so I'm a ND fan (and alum). Syracuse is a lot closer, though, and I can get behind SU in basketball (although not in football)when they're not playing ND. Too bad this year the game is at ND, I may try to take my son to the game next year if it's in Syracuse.
And since ND joined the Big East, I root for all Big East teams come tournament time.

Sig Bet on who has the hotter of the two cheerleading squads? This sounds like more your cup of tea.
