Maryland fan be throwing beer bottle at the court, BUM is indignant.

[grokamok]

Villanova up by 9 with 8:13 to go. Refs call a charge on UMD and a Maryland fan throws a beer bottle (plastic) on the court from the upper deck, stopping the action for 3 minutes. Announcers try to pass it off as something to the effect of, "One guy makes the rest of the fans look bad." Of course, we know better.

Stay classy, Terps!

[grokamok]

=BUM is insufferably bad, insisting that a breakaway foul by Vasquez (his fourth) should have been called intentional, even after the replay shows that he hacked at the ball instead of making the blatant push =BUM thought he saw. Then, less than a minute later, on an inbounds foul he can't remember when Vasquez picked up his fourth!

[DanMcQ]

Harvard's Jeremy Lin is the real deal.

I actually thought Feinstein did an ok job as the analyst. He seemed impartial and was willing to make quick judgments that some color guys are reluctant to do. Not all will be on target. I liked his analysis at the end of the first half about the 2 for 1 possession possibility with about 50 seconds left. Too many teams ignore this and fritter away the time. Maryland did get off a fairly quick shot which missed, but still was the right move.

I went to the game. Pre-game, there was a "Verizon Center and the NCAA promote good sportsmanship...please do your part and do not throw things on the court at any time" announcement. Clearly =BUM and team knew that it was necessary.

[HoyaSinceBirth]

meh all the bum did was complain. He kept complaining about ref's calls and about rules of the game. He sucked.

He was tolerable up until he oddly decided that Vasquez's fourth foul was flagrant and then promptly forgot this 50 seconds later when Vasquez picked up his fifth and claimed "That's his fifth? I cannot remember when he picked up his fourth"

EDIT: oops, sorry for copying your thunder grok

[MassHoya]

I watched the game for a while in the first half until I started feeling really ill. It's when I realized that Fugly was the analyst. Who let him in?

I hope the Rhymeswithbirds and the 'cats did not do any damage to the court last night. Hate to see our house get used like that.

How do you only beat Harvard by 6 at home?

Pick one:

"You take 20 minutes of the game and say it's magnificent," Calhoun said. "Take 20 minutes of the game and it's awful."

"You keep playing with Mother Nature and she'll put that lightning bolt right through us," Calhoun said.

"When we stay with things, we're very good," Calhoun said. "I don't know why this team has a real, real attention deficit where they just stop. They fight, then they don't fight."

[HoyaSinceBirth]

Providence beat brown, Seton Hall beat Umass.

[Gold Hoya]

=BUM's game wasn't even in HD on Comcast SportsNet, at least in Chicago

[hoyainspirit]

Although I hate to admit it, because I hate =BUM, I'm in the camp that thought, in general, he was excellent as an analyst.

[HoyaSinceBirth]

looking ahead a bit I really hope ODU can beat Dayton if not they'll really be gunning for us looking for that marquee victory.

That was also my favorite part of the broadcast. He went on and on about the intentional foul only to forget about it minutes later as Vasquez fouled out.

I would watch a lot of games on mute if BUM were a full time color guy.

[HoyaSinceBirth]

Indiana is smacking pitt around. Sheesh. Pitt's garbage.

[vcjack]

Pitt is just fugly right now, they are not going to break 60 much in conference games if something doesn't change for them
