Re: College Basketball Catch up Thread
Illinois will suck and consider it a success to go one-and-done in the tournament.

[/ QUOTE ] yep...no SG this year anywhere from 3rd to 7th in the Big11Ten is the range...I expect 5th or 6th they'll play hard-nosed D and awful offense (while making few turnovers which is just plain weird) just like last year they'll be very ugly to watch for most people their big11ten schedule did them no favors

 +  =  [/ QUOTE ] i devoutly hope so, but the potential lack of an outside shooter is our achilles. here's to hoping ellington learned how to shoot 40%+ from 3 in the offseason (and also that tyler learned how to pass out of the post).

Sorry about last year Tar Heels. [/ QUOTE ] I'm sure you're very sorry [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]. On the brightside, thanks for getting Greg Monroe away from Durham since they were pinning their entire 08-09 post rotation around him showing up. Oops... That game still gives me nightmares. How we stopped getting the ball inside and instead relied on jumpshots for the last 8 minutes of regulation and all of overtime, I'll never know. I love Roy, but his hatred of calling timeouts to stop an opposing teams big run confuses me and will continue to confuse me.

Re: College Basketball Catch up Thread

+ = [/ QUOTE ] Yes sir. Here is my projection for our starting lineup: PG: Ty Lawson (So.) SG: Wayne Ellington (So.) SG/SF: Marcus Ginyard (Jr.) PF: Deon Thompson (So.) C: Tyler Hansbrough (Jr.) I really like our starting lineup this year and I think starting Ginyard will prove to be very valuable. He is the perfect glue guy on a national title contender in that he plays great defense and provides excellent offensive rebounding for a guard. He won't look to score much, which we really won't need with our starting lineup. I really think Deon Thompson has a great chance to be an All ACC caliber performer. The main things that worry me about this team are outside shooting and backup PG. Ellington is very capable of making the outside shot, but if he becomes a consistent threat from deep, this team just becomes almost impossible to guard. Lawson needs to hit open looks, which I think he may see plenty of. I'm somewhat concerned about the backup PG position because Thomas is being bothered by a knee and the status of Frasor's foot isn't really going to be known until he plays and practices more. Frasor is very important to this team because he has the ability to knock down the outside shot as well helping Thomas spell Lawson for 10-12 minutes a game, allowing Ty to go full throttle.

Re: College Basketball Catch up Thread
For the first time basically ever, there is major excitement about Washington State basketball. Most preseason polls have them in the top 10. The Pac-10 is gonna be stacked this year, but WSU will hopefully be right there competing for the championship.
Only lost 1 player from last year's team and a great core group of seniors to lead this year. Key players: G - Derrick Low F - Kyle Weaver F - Robbie Cowgill C - Aron Baines G - Taylor Rochestie As terrible as the football season is going, I can't wait for WSU basketball... season opener Nov 9.
