January 2 New Year's Marathon is a lot more appealing than the NYE marathon last year (and also avoids the college football semi-finals). Also - has anyone ever seen a nice PDF printable version of the schedule, ideally in calendar format? The print version from the website is just a list of games, without days of the week or TV info (as it has been for many years). I like to put sports schedules up on my tackboard and use them as my quick-view calendar, but the GUHoyas one doesn't get it done. Funny, I just finished manually loading them all into my calendar. Has to be an easier way.

I'll never forget how excited I was when I discovered the Board in 1999, and what a ride it has been (notwithstanding the substantially reduced productivity over the years).

I would like to know where Elvado now ranks DSR?!!

Jerian Grant basically lost that game. And Brey let him. Strange coming from you. You know what Brey did or didn't instruct his team and players to do?

Watching a team get the ball with 1:09 left on the clock out of bounds after a made basket and then subsequently burn enough clock to waste a 2 for 1 and lose the game makes me want to put my face through a wall. I can't even comprehend how infrequently college teams practice end of game situations. Theyre clearly instructed to "burn clock" regardless of situation and end up doing awful things like ND did this game. Just baffling. 100% yes. I have been saying this all year. Especially when you start with that much time on the clock and dont need to to rush in any way to get a good look and leave yourself one more posession with 10+ seconds. I was also thinking that this might have been a time for Brey to channel his inner Jim Valvano and immediately foul and put Kentucky on the line with 33 seconds left. Extend the game and see what happens. I know it obviously unconventional in a tie game and the numbers certainly dont back the strategy (and I know UK hit both free throws when they went to the line with 6 seconds left), but it just felt like an option in this one. Surprised anyone would take a jab at Brey tonight. I thought he had a tremendous game plan and his players executed it almost to perfection - for 37/38 minutes at least.

Funny that everyone always talks about how Duke doesn't play good defense. I missed the first 5 minutes, but since I have been watching I don't think Utah has had a single good look from 3 - compared to the dozen or so uncontested, wide open looks from 3 we gave them.

My answer to the thread title is no. Me too.

I think we all know how it feels to be a Friar fan tonight. Hoya95 is right; this was an ambush. Never thought I'd be rooting for Oklahoma on Sunday, but those Dayton fans make me want to do so. What a joke. PC played probably the worst game of their year. I think PC fans are thinking about that - not that they were "ambushed". Dont impute your silly conspiracy theories on other fanbases.

Not for nothing, but it is complete BS that 11 seed Dayton gets a home play-in game and then gets to follow that up with a "second round" game in Columbus. Just doesn't feel right. Dayton should have been an 8 or 9 seed.

Providence has looked rattled and lousy all night, but they have to feel like they've been set up for an ambush. Playing a road game against a higher seeded team and some ridiculous calls against them. The flagrant, the technical on Cooley for yelling at his own guys, and the foul on Henton for just fighting harder for a rebound were insane. PC was awful tonight. Dunn and Henton were both horrible. The T was ridiculous and there have been a few questionable calls but they have nothing to do with the outcome. PC sucked. Shocked and disappointed. I knew the Johnnies would let everyone down but I am shocked with this game.

[/quote]...but that dunk at the end was beautiful. Absolutely perfect. Didn't like when he did it against the Hall a few weeks back, but against that clown of a coach? The dude basically asked for it.

Agree 100%. I was outspoken against it v SH (although noting at the time that there may be unusual circumstances where it was warranted). Never would have guessed such circumstances would arise 2 weeks later. Loved it last night - it was just perfect.

I just got a text from another Board member saying simply "Did Bradley Hayes just save our season?"

Dan, where is my Saturday pregame thread? We are onto Utah. Survive and advance. Just win, baby. I am going to expect some detailed analysis on Utah first thing in the a.m. I expect someone will watch tape of 3 Utah games the next 6 hours and have a full report ready for me.

I just noticed that FGCU lost tonight at home by 6 in the 1st round of the CIT to our friends at Texas A&M-CC.

This thread is already as long as the FGCU one was after the game and its only Wednesday. I do not know why that interests me, but it does. I was thinking about that earlier today as well. This thing could hit 50 pages by tipoff. Must be some type of record.

I believe President Obama picked us to win Thursday night. I will take some comfort in that.

It appears that Xavier will have their hands full with #11 BYU if the score holds up. BYU has been on fire from the 3pt line vs Ole Miss tonight and easily coasted to a double-digit half-time lead thus far. Oops.

I've enjoyed reading all the insightful comments in this thread to prepare for this week-- y'all can definitely locate some great stuff to better understand EWU. Like a lot of people here, I am definitely nervous but less so than normal. We can, and should, win this game. To be honest, I could care less that a bunch of television analysts or picking against us or that a handful of EWU fans on a message board somewhere think that we are a great matchup for them. What has bothered me this week, though, has been the confidence bordering on cockiness coming from our opponent. I've read a good bit of the coverage on them this week, and there have been multiple comments not so subtly trying to knock us or psych us out in some way. One of their players called Joshua slow, and their coach has said a bunch of things, dinging us for beating Indiana on a neutral floor, talking about how we don't see their type of speed and shooting in the Big East, etc. You can just tell that they are super confident, and that's what I want us to put to rest this year. I don't care if the media loves us, but I want other teams to fear us when they face us in the bracket. I don't want them thinking, "Oh great, we are going to score a big win on the national stage." They should tremble at facing our physical defense (like when Bo Ryan said he had bruises from just watching his team play us in the Bahamas). We can earn that respect this year. Looking to the matchup itself, I do think this game will test our mental toughness. As such a sharp shooting team, they are apt to go on a run and even take a 5-8 point lead. If we can weather that run without folding, it'll show me that we have started to cure our tournament woes. I'm so ready for this game! Let's get it done! You are dead on re: Eastern Washington being confident to the point of cockiness. I don't know if I have ever heard a college coach talk as negatively about an upcoming NCAA tournament opponent. In contrast - after hearing Jay Wright talk about Lafayette today, I thought Nova was going into their game as a serious underdog! We really should be able to use their cockiness to our advantage. True underdog teams that win have a scrappy, "nobody believes in us" mentality. Clearly almost EVERYONE believes in Eastern Washington, and the players/coaches seem to be well aware of this. i would not be shocked if they don't have quite the emotional edge that the teams who have upset us in the past have brought to the games. that might be wishful thinking! But between virtually every media person picking against us (often with derisive chuckles included in the prediction), and the cockiness of the opponent - I think i would enjoy a victory on thursday as much as any win in recent memory. What exactly did the EWU coach say? I heard the bit about us not seeing their style of play in the BE. What else?

Wow, Utah was a 5? We might be a 4 seed. Nicely done.
